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.

[seeingscarlet]

It seems like something they would have? I saw something that looked like a cheese fountain.

...a strange cheese fountain, but I'm sure it would work for other things.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki beams. ]

Where can I see one?

[seeingscarlet]

I saw a store that had one.

Have you never seen one before?

[...she should not be considering going to get it for him, even if Loki's younger self is adorable and so seemingly innocent. But Wanda has a weakness for scared kids.]

[dothelokimotion]

No. Thor says they're not real.

[ which is rude. ]

[seeingscarlet]

[......okay, that settles it.]

Maybe he's never seen one, but they're definitely real. What if I found it and brought it back?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he's full of childish enthusiasm now. ]

Really? You'd do that?

[seeingscarlet]

[cuteness overload

And maybe he will laugh at her over this later, when he's back to normal, but never let it be said that Wanda Maximoff didn't do everything in her power to comfort a child in need.]

I'll see what I can do. Just try to hold on for a little while, all right?

[Poor Loki, he doesn't even know how bizarre this thing is...or maybe in its strangeness it will be even more amusing, who knows.]

[dothelokimotion]

I can wait.

[ he's very patient, but the idea of seeing a chocolate fountain is really cool, so he might be vibrating a little. ]

[seeingscarlet]

[And a little over an hour later...]

I found it!

[He'll hear it before Wanda can turn the camera to face it - it's playing a music box rendition of a song that definitely should not be played on a music box. It turns out to be the gaudiest chocolate/cheese fountain ever, something that wouldn't be out of place in the slightest on Sakaar. The top level raises up and down in time with the music, and it's currently filled with something bright pink.]

They don't usually play music like this, but they do exist.

[dothelokimotion]

[ it may be gaudy but loki loves it. ]

It's real! I knew it! I have to tell Thor.

[seeingscarlet]

You might be able to show him soon. I'm bringing it back.

[It's thankfully not terribly expensive. Nobody really wants a fondue fountain that plays weird music box renditions of pop songs from another planet.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ except loki. loki would totally want that. ]

Where? To this ship?

[seeingscarlet]

I said I would, yes?

[...getting a little ahead of yourself there, huh, Wanda?]

...which ship are you on?

[dothelokimotion]

Uhmm . . . [ loki checks his device. ]

I think it's called the First Breath?

Weird name.

[seeingscarlet]

A lot of them are.

I'll be there soon, all right? I just need to see if I can find something that tastes like chocolate.

[dothelokimotion]

It's all right. I can wait.

[ even if he's holding his excitement back at the seams. ]

[seeingscarlet]

[And eventually a shuttle docks with the First Breath. Thank goodness for autopilot, because Wanda doesn't fully trust her implant-given knowledge of how to fly them.]

It's here

[Complete with a gaudy shopping bag, because this particular vendor has no taste at all.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki scuttles off to the loading bay, grinning. ]

Where is it? Can I see it? Do I have to turn it on?

[seeingscarlet]

[she can't help but grin in return as she passes it over.]

I think you might want to start with unboxing it.

[dothelokimotion]

Unboxing it?

[ it comes packaged? loki squints at it. ]

So I just cut it loose?

[seeingscarlet]

You shouldn't need a knife. Just be careful with it.

It looked sturdy, but I am not sure I trust this planet that much.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki nods. he unpacks the box carefully, the kind of care you don't normally see in a child. he's always been a little quiet, somber. which isn't to say he can't have fun, he's just cautious at heart.

once he's done, he holds it up mournfully. ]

It's not working.

[seeingscarlet]

You have to plug it in first, and then the chocolate has to melt.

[She smiles warmly, her tone gentle. This must be terribly backwards compared to the technology he's used to.]

Let's take it to the kitchen.

[dothelokimotion]

[ plug it??? loki looks completely lost. ]

Will the kitchen make it work? Does it need magic?

[seeingscarlet]

It needs an energy source. Maybe one day you can make it run with magic, but I think it would be best to use it the normal way first.
