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. ]

[ragingbanner]

Really?

[His tone is much like someone that comes home to a room with junk on the floor, broken glass, and a cat sitting primly in front of the chaos.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ If only he knew about any of those things. ]

Mediocrity is a loss on us all.

[postocular]

You really didn't like him, huh?

[ What up, Loki? Been a hot second. ]

[warpandweft]

You have...a very strange mind, my friend.

[To his credit, Alucard looks only a little taken aback by this display, one of his eyebrows raised.

But. This is a little weird!! What the fuck, Loki!]

[Video]

[fightorflug]

[A weak chuckle.]

"Y-you're.. not his biggest fan, I take it?"

[See, now this is the kind of behavior Flug is used to!]

[dothelokimotion]

To put it mildly.

I don't think anyone liked him, to be honest.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Why do people keep calling him friend . . . ]

I like to think of it as inventive.

[dothelokimotion]

He had no fans. As evidenced by his departure.

[fightorflug]

"Is that what you really think? That they get rid of us s-solely based on ratings?"

[He gestures with vague bemusement back to the children seemingly triumphant over their prize.]

"T-they certainly seem to like him fine."

[dothelokimotion]

I would assume so. Why keep a dead-end?

[ Loki glances back at the children. ]

Well, children love violence and sweets.

[fightorflug]

"Depends what constitutes as a dead-end I suppose. If they were desperate enough to kidnap us to begin with, you'd think they would have more reservations about switching up their plans."

[But it is not as though Flug has even met this other guy, there are no emotional stakes here; only detached musing.]

"More than just children, I've often found."

[dothelokimotion]

People with power often lack reservation.

[ Especially tyrants. Or whatever the Atroma are. ]

Perhaps. But children don't lie about it.

[fightorflug]

"I'd say it's more of intelligence they're lacking."

[But Flug shouldn't be surprised, he chose to allign with Black Hat for a reason. So few people with power ever understood how to really use it.]

"But that's probably to our advantage, if that's the case?"

[A shrug; you got him there.]

"Heh, t-true enough."

[dothelokimotion]

That depends. We've yet to find any legitimate loopholes.

[fightorflug]

"Well n-no, not yet... admittedly."

[While it isnt really a villain's place to say anything hopeful, per say, they did have something else going for them-]

"But they're sorely mistaken if they think they can hold onto control forever."

[The tenacity to never quit.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki wonders about that. No, nothing can remain the same forever. But years have passed in this place with little to no change. ]

Perhaps. Unless there are other games at play here.

[fightorflug]

"Well if they don't want the games to change, they should stop switching the players."

[But never mind that analogy.]

"... I do agree there has to be more to it. W-we're not seeing the full picture. M-maybe instead of focusing on Atroma itself we should be analyzing the worlds that support them."

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki nods. ]

I agree. I think that would offer more concrete evidence to the Atroma's goals.

[fightorflug]

"It's easy to just dismiss them as people on our travels and nothing more, b-but these things don't really work like that. There has to be some sort of agreement made with Atroma for them to agree to host us."

[How could Atroma guarentee each location wouldn't aid in their escape? It couldn't be so cut and dry!]

"They're affiliates, if nothing else."

[A pause.]

"I.. y-you're Loki, right? I've seen you-"

[He can't say where, as revealing how Castiel shared the memory containing Loki's attempted attack on the Marsiva with Thor, through a dream, would defeat the whole purpose. Still, anyone making such a bold move is someone Flug wanted to meet.]

"...around."

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki raises an eyebrow at that. ]

Have you now.

[postocular]

Eh, he was okay. He was on the same ship as my friend Maggie.

His cape was cool.

[dothelokimotion]

Which he paired with yellow plumber gloves.

I'm not impressed.

[luckyescape]

[Freya doesn't even know Dr.Strange but this is so fucking weird.]

Are cryptic sad videos really that popular?

That's kinda fucked up.

voice

[monolike]

[rare shiny Irritated Sorey appears] There's no need to be nasty about it.

[dothelokimotion]

[ sounds fake tbh ]

Ah, so you prefer the passively asking for attention instead?
