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. ]

Comments

[Flug nods, averting his eyes; some of his enthusiasm beginning to wane.]

"If anyone can, he can. It's a wonder he's taken this long."

[dothelokimotion]

[ Or the Atroma are stronger than they look. It's a good thing there aren't any Ancients around. ]

Chances are he hasn't even noticed.

[fightorflug]

[Flug blinks at that. With as crucial as his work was for the business, he couldn't even sleep let alone take months off like this! Loki must mean...]

"You're talking about the time differences; people being pulled from the same reality without noticing a companion left first? I.. had heard about that, but I didn't think we had proof?"

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki cocks an eyebrow. ]

Doesn't your situation serve as proof?

[fightorflug]

[Flug opens his mouth only to close it again, despite hiding his face beneath a shroud of paper it's rather easy to read the man's perplexed expression.]

"I-- the manor isn't really grounded in reality the way other places are. It.. It's not a good basis."

[He had thought he knew the full extent of the multiverse, but if this entire corner hasn't heard of Black Hat, it stood to reason the boss himself might have trouble finding it at first-- but Flug could never admit to such a fault.]

"I'm sure he has his reasons for the.. delay; It's not conclusive enough. Have you encountered people from your Universe? Any evidence?"

[dothelokimotion]

A few. They mostly hail from different time periods.

[ Save for Thor and Banner, of course. But now Loki is wondering whether they've been too focused on escape. When they should be thinking about sending messages to people on the outside of this dimension. ]

[fightorflug]

"Memories can be tampered with..."

[Flug defends. It seemed like too easy of an answer, but did not he himself freeze reality on occasion? Pluck objects right out of another universe before letting it resume as though it had never been disturbed? Was this really so different? What would count as better proof?]

"Did they have any physical characteristics altered from the last time you saw them? Signs of age?"

[dothelokimotion]

I'm not all too familiar with them. We're not close.

[fightorflug]

"Oh. I see."

[The bagged man deflates with disappointment. No matter, there were other ways to collect data on the front.]

"Well, this has been enlightening. I'll leave you to your, ah, celebration... But if you're looking for a new avenue to explore, you'll keep this conversation in mind, yes?"

[Vague as it was, Flug would just have to trust Loki got the message. The other being had power where the Scientist did not and moreover, if Loki was still around after such stunts, he was someone Flug could hopefully rely on to not vanish any time soon. Flug had yet to find anything regarding the link between Atroma and the worlds that hosted them or a means of contacting the outside but maybe, just maybe, Loki would.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki nods. ]

Of course. Who knows when we will need to speak again.
