Who: A baby Loki + You
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS First Breath
When: Right now!

[ loki is no stranger to space ships. though the kind of ships asgard uses are quite different in nature, he's read enough to be familiar with the make and feel of this one. he quietly turns on the recording device, squinting at it. very primitive but it'll have to do. he straightens himself, as befitting a prince, quiet and somber despite the nervousness. ]

Greetings. I am Prince Loki of Asgard. I wish to know about my whereabouts and swift return to Asgard. My father will not be pleased.

[ a pause as loki thinks of what else to add before pulling out a large knife he stole from the kitchens. ]

Also I have a knife.

[Well. This is sure a thing. There's a really temptation to be a dickhead- he's sure if their situations were reversed, Loki would absolutely be a dickhead.

Crowley does always struggle with being an actual dickhead rather than the one he pretends to be.]

Well, you sure do have a knife. Anyway, you're a long way from Asgard.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki keeps his posture straight-laced. weakness in foreign territory would not be tolerated. besides, he's not scared. ]

How far?

[onlyanapple]

Hard to say, really. We're in the middle of deepest space. No one has recognised any starsystems since I've been here.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his brow furrows, but loki keeps his voice quiet and polite. somber for a child. ]

Of course. May I see a map?

[abracafcku]

[Oh my gods. OH MY GODS. Loki is so tiny. HE'S SO SMALL AND wait. What the fuck, that's one of the good knives. That's one of HIS good knives.]

You need to put that back where you found it or I'm not making dinner tonight.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki isn't sure what to make of that. ]

I need it to defend myself.

[abracafcku]

Yeah, you're a god? [Albeit a tiny Angus-sized one now.] I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.

But if you wreck that knife stabbing someone, I'll go on strike and you'll be eating protein gel only. No one wants that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shakes his head. ]

If monsters come, I need to protect myself.

[A week is really not a long enough span of time for things to be relatively sane and uneventful. As it is, Thor nearly thinks this is some kind of joke when he first sees the message ... until he belatedly remembers that Riona had this happen once. It had taken him a while then to understand that she had genuinely become younger. Thankfully, it does not take him that long now.

That doesn't leave him with a solution for What To Do. In the meantime he fumbles the communicator on and responds, his voice a mix of incredulity and urgency.]

Loki? Where are you right now.

[dothelokimotion]

[ new phone, who dis. seriously. he's missing an eye like odin and looks . . . familiar. but he knows his name?? ]

I — I don't know.

[rebuildyourruins]

[Right, of course. Dumb question. Thor huffs at himself before scanning the image. At least it seems to be a ship, not the junk planet outside.]

You're on a ship, aren't you? [A pause as he glances at the knife.] That's not an Asgardian knife.

[dothelokimotion]

I couldn't find mine so I took it from the kitchen.

[ the man seems to know what an asgardian knife should look like, so he must have some familiarity. ]

Do you know how I can get home? Mother will worry.

[seeingscarlet]

[That is a really big knife. That will hopefully not get 'misplaced' in Thor's side.

But regardless, Wanda can't ignore a presumably scared child-- er, child trying very hard to be brave.]

They call it the Baruuta system. And we're very far from any of our homes, but it isn't dangerous outside, just strange.

[dothelokimotion]

Even so, I need to return home.

[ his mother will worry and honestly, loki is very uneasy. it's only through his own manners that it doesn't bleed through. ]

[seeingscarlet]

I know. We all do.

But you're not in any danger right now.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki seems unsure. ]

How do you know?

[shroudedsecrets]

[These glitches were starting to get out of hand.]

A sword would be more fitting for a Prince than a knife.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he pouts. ]

I can't wield that yet.

[shroudedsecrets]

[What was she even doing.]

Have you tried to?

[unbearablynaive]

[....Oh boy.

Well, at least young Loki probably won't hate him on sight. Probably. And the Vision has to admit he's always been curious about Thor's brother.]

Greetings, Prince Loki. I am the Vision of Midgard, and I believe we are outside Heimdall's ability to reach at the moment, or you would no doubt already have been returned to your realm.

[dothelokimotion]

[ this person knows heimdall, but he doesn't look like any species loki knows of. surely midgardians don't come in red . . . ]

Nothing is beyond Heimdall's reach.

[unbearablynaive]

[He sure is correct that Midgardians don't generally come in red.]

My apologies; in that case we are almost certainly being directly blocked from his access. However, we're generally not here for terribly long. I'm sure you'll return home soon.

In the meantime, I know it's not precisely what you're used to, but you may be able to find a decent adventure down on the planet, or even interesting things to explore here in the Fleet. I doubt you'll get bored.

[Manji doesn't put two and two together to figure out this person is the adult version of a Loki he's heard over the network on occasion. He also had no interest in addressing a kid until Loki pulled out that knife. Oh, he likes this kid. Good attitude.]

Oh yeah? But a knife is pretty useless if you don't know how ta' use it.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki juts his chin out. ]

I know how to use it.

[canofmanji]

Do you? You look too fancy to know how ta' use somethin' sharp and dangerous like that. You might get blood on your clothes if you did. [Manji, why are you teasing a kid?]
