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.

[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.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki's brow furrows, but he nods. ]

This is a strange ship. But I guess other Realms and places are different from Asgard and I should not forget that.

[seeingscarlet]

Sometimes it is a good thing. That's why this place has chocolate fountains.

[She still can't believe they don't have them in Asgard. With all that cool tech and magic, you'd think someone would have invented it...]

Come on. If your kitchen is like ours there should be a place for this - [She gestures, highlighting at raising the tail end of the plug with her power.] - to go.

[dothelokimotion]

[ asgard prefers their old aesthetics. loki peers at the plug and back at wanda quizzically. ]

Why do you keep your energy in a wall? Isn't that dangerous?

[seeingscarlet]

[She's never been here but hopefully this ship has a similar layout to the others. Shouldn't be that hard to find the kitchen...]

Not everyone has their own power like we do, and mine still won't make this work. It's not the right kind of energy.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki frowns but he nods. ]

I guess that makes sense. I don't know much about other worlds yet. We haven't even visited Midgard.

[seeingscarlet]

[Okay, that definitely looks like the kitchen. Time find a plug for this thing.]

You know, we have restaurants that are nothing but chocolate or cheese fountains.

Here-- once we plug it in, it will start working. You'll know.

[The music box, of course, will start right away.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki starts, surprised before moving closer to poke it. ]

Midgard is stranger than I thought if it has such things.
