Who: Loki
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the moon initially, but he'll be back to the Paisley soon, and probably on the Iskaulit
When: June 5 (ends June 12)

Video

[Video starts with... that sure is Loki. But there's something subtly weird about his expression. There's nothing guarded or calculated about it, a slight relaxation of ever-present tension that was never apparent before, perhaps. The best poker face in all Nine Realms is nowhere to be seen. If anything, he looks upset. Confused, worried, a bit scared. And he's out in the forest on the toxic moon, which is just great, let him tell you. No mask, but he's never needed one before, not that he's aware of that, or of the fact that most people have to wear them.]

Hello? Yes, this seems to be working. What a curious device. [Anyway. The point.]

I seem to be lost. Very lost. Where is this?

[A view of the forest, brief but steady.]

And--[Careful breath.]--who am I?

Action

[Lucky Loki, his augment has glitched and while he remembers how to do things--and the occasional esoteric fact--he has no idea who he is. Good news--or bad news depending on your opinion of his usual space asshole personality--he'll get over it in about a week.

Even if no one comes find him, he'll make his way back to civilization eventually and be very confused about life and where he's even supposed to be. Good thing he's practically indestructible. But eventually, he will be around on the Paisley, and on the Iskaulit, poking about.]

Oh, I shall have to see if I can understand those as well. Can you show me?

There's usually an instrument to help Initiates with this... [ he scratch his head and looks around them for something they can work with. grabbing the cup again, he fills it with water. ]

What we do is separate the water from the cup. It's using two different kinds of Force techniques. The cup we already know. But to hold the water, I would have to put it in a Force barrier.

[ he quiets as he focuses. the cup floats then drops slowly back into his hand, leaving the water a few inches above it ]

[He watches this with absolute, consuming fascination. And he can certainly feel there is something going on, though it isn't quite the same as what he's already done, which makes it even more interesting.]

So you are containing the water, yourself. [He cups one hand, thinking about it.] I think I feel the energies of it...

I'm manipulating the energy around it and creating a barrier to hold it.

[ still holding the cup, he moves the water over the sink and drops it. his level of manipulation isn't as strong as what he's seen loki do and there's no way loki won't be able to catch up soon.

he fills the cup with water again and hands it to him ]

Your turn.

[He nods, mulling the concept over. Face already a mask of concentration, he takes the cup. Then he traces the outside of it.]

If I could make a field to follow the shape of the cup's inside...

[Splash. Nope. He wrinkles his nose, fills the cup back up and tries again. After a struggle, trying to feel what he needs to do and reference to what Anakin did already, he raises the liquid from within the cup.]

Aha! Yes?

[ he looks on with anticipation, spurred by the fact that he knows loki can do this. he's probably done this before, actually.

the surprise with this is the concentration of energies and where he feels it. it's different, from what the jedi were taught as kids. either way, he shouts victory when loki does do it. ]

You got it! I don't think you're ... necessary Force sensitive but that's something. How do you feel?

[It certainly feels like a victory, and it's nice to have a friend to share a little triumph with.

Not Force Sensitive, so that means yet another set of people who cannot tell him anything useful about what he is, though he won't complain, since he's already learned a lot. And Anakin is very nice, really. Loki touches the ball of water in the air with one finger to set it spinning, and then grins.]

Like I could do anything, really.

[ he stared at the floating ball of water for a moment, certain in the fact that though he's strong in the force, even he couldn't do that. chuckling dryly: ]

Looks like you got the hang of your powers. I thought it'd sort out the short term memory lost though.

[ he shrugs ]

Sorry, I don't think I can't help you there.

It seems to be no one's fault but our captor's, yes? Perhaps with this sort of power, I might be of some use at least.

Do you .. know where we are? [ he knocks against the wall, metal of the ship sounds against metal of his hand ] We're in space. Unless you can create an artificial environment to carry us away from our captors, there's not a lot you can do aside from the more mundane tasks.

[ which is a downer so he asks: ]

What do you think you could help with?

I'll have to think about that problem. [Well, it's a place to start.] But mundane tasks still need to be done, yes?

[That's a harder question.]

I can move things in different ways. I can make things become very cold as well. I don't suppose any of that is terribly useful.

[ he slaps loki on the shoulder, a very anakin way of showing camaraderie. ]

You're trying. That's enough for me. And knowing some of our crew members here, it might be useful when we have to put a few fires out.

[He looks slightly startled, then smiles. Okay, this is good, right?]

Oh good. I trust you to tell me if there's anything at all I might help you with too.
