[ intro post ] we come from the land of ice and snow

[dothelokimotion]

Who: Loki + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: Marsiva
When: Right now!

[ The feed clicks on as Loki is prodding the various appliances in open curiosity before he realizes it is working. With a smirk, Loki smartly claims a seat, crossing his legs and looking smug. ]

Ah, hello. I'm thrilled to be among such a — [ His eyes flicker to the lights and his smirk drops by an iota before it comes back in full force. ] — charming establishment. But I believe you have something of mine. An acquaintance. He's rather tall, prone to running into walls and likes petting things that bite him. If you could direct him to me, I'd be most appreciative.

I have attached an artist's rendition for your perusal.

[noprophecies]

[she vaguely recognizes the man from past broadcasts, but she only ever spoke to him once. Still . . . the picture is hilarious. She answers dryly]

Oh, I did not know he liked to pet bitey things. He failed to mention that.

[dothelokimotion]

He's very fond of snakes. And other poisonous creatures.

[noprophecies]

[a hum of amusement] That's quite a problem.

You might have better luck using his name, though. He is a bit hard to miss.

[dothelokimotion]

A giant muscled man with lighting powers and a missing eye is hard to miss?

What kind of people do you even have here?

[noprophecies]

[do you really want her to answer that]

See, that is a much better description.

[dothelokimotion]

[ True, but it's Thor. Anyone who has seen Thor never forgets him — never mistakes him for someone else. Loki would know. He's lived in his shadow for centuries. ]

But not as entertaining.

[noprophecies]

I suppose it isn't.

He is your property, then? [is she taking what he said literally? Maybe]

[dothelokimotion]

[ It's legit. ]

My brother. Same thing, really.

[noprophecies]

Ah. Yes, of course. [that's how siblings work, right] I hope he answers your call soon, then. One should not keep one's brother waiting.

I'm afraid I've forgotten your name, and it was a long time ago that we spoke. I am Tempest.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He tilts his head politely. ]

I am Loki of Asgard.

[ Though Asgard no longer exists. Force of habit. ]

[noprophecies]

Mm, well met.

I am assuming you've just arrived, then> I recognize that horrid room you're in.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki glances at the room. ]

Indeed. Though I hear I will find a placement of my own soon enough.

[noprophecies]

That's right. And then you will be able to go to the planet, if you wish.

[dothelokimotion]

The planet?

[noprophecies]

Mmm, the empty one. That is what happens here - we drift through the stars and stop at different planets, or waystations, whichever comes along.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Huh. ]

Is that all?

[noprophecies]

That is the basics of it. Though there have been . . . mm, incidents.

And the planet we are on now is completely empty of the original inhabitants. As far as we can tell, at least.

[dothelokimotion]

[ An empty planet. Hm. Perhaps this Fleet could prove useful. If there are planets to visit, Loki might be able to convince Thor to move Asgard somewhere other than Midgard. ]

No remains?

[noprophecies]

As far as I know, no. No one's yelled about it over the network, anyway.

[dothelokimotion]

[ A mystery. Fair enough. ]

I imagine we will know the truth soon enough.

[noprophecies]

It's likely. I'll leave it to the ones who enjoy that sort of thing.

—ah, there is a - amusement park? If you enjoy that sort of thing. It works automatically.

[dothelokimotion]

What is an amusement park?

[noprophecies]

It is a giant mess of metal monstrosities that you ride for fun. Supposedly.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His nose wrinkles. ]

How does that work?

[noprophecies]

It is . . . mechanical? I think. I do not know how it runs on its own, but it is all gears and electricity and whatnot.
