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.

[abracafcku]

Then I win.

[His smile widens.]

She's being difficult, so I'm having some fun.

[dothelokimotion]

[ ah. loki understands that kind of game. ]

If I help, what is in it for me?

[abracafcku]

Ask and we'll see if I can deliver, hm?

[dothelokimotion]

I will remember.

[abracafcku]

Oh I don't doubt it, but I'm but a simple wizard who can make some really bitchin' desserts.

Let's say... If you win? I'll make a whole cake just for you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he brightens. ]

A whole cake for me?

And I won't have to share it with Thor?

[abracafcku]

Not a single morsel, fruit, or crumb.

Deal?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki takes a moment before nodding. ]

Deal.

[abracafcku]

[He delicately holds out a hand to him.]

Deal. You tell me what flavor and I'll get to baking.

[dothelokimotion]

I like chocolate. That's rare on Asgard.

[abracafcku]

Is it now?

[then perhaps a cake that is decadent in it's chocolatey goodness. He'll need to think on the recipe, but he has a good idea of what to make.]

Not a problem. You go bug Janice the White and I'll whip up a chocolate cake that's just for you.

[dothelokimotion]

I will!

[abracafcku]

You're a cute kid, you know that?

[Taako grins]

And I don't say that lightly. Most kids bug the hell out of me.

[dothelokimotion]

Do you know many . . . kids?

[abracafcku]

Eh.

[He shrugs and wiggles his hand in a so-so gesture.]

I've known some in my time.

[There's one in particular he's loathe to admit he's actually worried about.]

Most kids I can't stand long enough to get to know.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose I am unlike most children.

[abracafcku]

That's putting it mildly.

[It helps that he knows Loki when he's an adult, too. Hopefully the Lord of Mischief will remember how Taako treated him, even when he returns to his normal self.]

Well, when your family comes to get you, try to remember ol' Taako, hm? I need a lift off this plane as much as anyone else.

[dothelokimotion]

Of course.

No one will be forgotten.

[abracafcku]

[He'll see about that.]

Good to know the gods are always looking out for us.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki looks confused. ]

Of course. That is what they do.

[abracafcku]

[He waggles his hand from side to side.]

Ehhh.

Mostly only for your adherents though and Taako's kind of a free soul. Minus Istus, but that was more a business transaction and whimsy than actual belief.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki doesn't quite follow. ]

Belief?

[abracafcku]

Well yeah - don't gods in your world need belief to sustain them?

[He stops and thinks for a second.]

I....think? That's how it works? Maybe?

[Taako shrugs. There's a reason why he isn't the cleric.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki looks at him blankly. ]

We don't need that. We were here before most people even existed. It wouldn't make sense.

[abracafcku]

Huh, well, I guess those temples were just spouting shit like usual then.

[Good to know? Then again, they're probably from completely different worlds so he probably shouldn't take too much of what Loki says to heart. The last thing he needs is to piss off the Goddess of Fate or Life and Death.]
