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

[ The video starts with Loki out in a verandah, a few tables and chairs scattered around. he's standing, hiding something from view. He pulls out a lace handkerchief, dabbing at his eyes. ]

It seems that there are a few people that have departed lately. And since everyone is very fond of making cryptic sad statements on the network for attention, I thought I would do the same for the passengers that have left us in such . . . [ A pointed dab. ] . . . sorrow.

[ with that, he moves away, taking a seat, revealing a bunch of children with bats and a life sized Dr. Strange figure. They look at Loki eagerly, waiting for the signal and he nods in assent. With a wild cry, they all launch themselves at the statue, beating it up. It even makes realistic sounds of pain. With every tear and visible wound, candy falls out.

Loki conjures a mimosa, leaning back. This is the life. There would be one of Sam Winchester too if . . . Loki had any idea who that was. Alas. ]

["I wasn't mean to their faces," Loki says as he vagueblogs the shit out of the network] I care because I care, and you shouldn't assume people don't care what you have to say.

[dothelokimotion]

I think that's more tragic than anything else I've said so far.

[ Also the idea that anyone cares about Loki in any fashion is pretty laughable, try harder. ]

Besides, if you're going to grieve publicly, at least make more of it.

[monolike]

Make...more of it?

[dothelokimotion]

Express it fully. But spare me these lukewarm cries of attention. It gets old quickly.

[monolike]

Oh.

[There's a moment of thoughtful silence before, tone soft,] I owe you an apology. I think I misjudged you.

[dothelokimotion]

. . . Come again?

[monolike]

Um... [How to explain?] -don't worry about it. I'm sorry for being rude.

[dothelokimotion]

That was rude?

[monolike]

Well yeah, of course. [obviously]

[dothelokimotion]

I'm not sure I see it.

[monolike]

Well, I-

I made undue judgments about you. I assumed you were making fun of people who grieved at all, but that wasn't it. I talked to you like I knew how you felt and what you wanted, without asking you how you felt or what you wanted first.

That's rude for me.

[dothelokimotion]

Ah.

Rest assured, I didn't notice. People do that often as it is.

[monolike]

Even more reason for me not to.

Can I ask you something?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Honestly, it seems like less reason, but Loki waves, flippant. ]

You may.

[monolike]

How would you show your grief on the network at losing someone?

[dothelokimotion]

Probably with a tribute of some kind. Celebrating a person's work and life here rather than a terse message.

[monolike]

A celebration...

That's a wonderful idea.

[dothelokimotion]

. . . It is?

[monolike]

[lmao dude] It's your idea, are you saying you don't think it is?

[dothelokimotion]

Most people don't give my ideas much consideration.

[monolike]

You do come off as a little difficult to approach. [what with the effigy]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki eyes Sorey briefly before sighing. ]

I suppose there is that.

[monolike]

...I'm Sorey. What's your name?

[dothelokimotion]

[ A pause. ]

I am called Loki.

[monolike]

Loki, I hope it's okay if I talk to you again. Ask your opinion on things.
