Action + Video | Captain on the bridge. Sort of...

[brooklyn_boy]

Who: Steve and you!

Broadcast: Video, yes: Fleetwide

Action: SS Bishop
When: Yesterday, after arrival

ACTION:
Steve has just about managed to acquaint himself with the strange, new idea that he is now in space when the next curve is thrown his way. One second he's standing in a hallway, just about to walk up and ask someone if they have any idea what he's doing here. The next, he's...on a bridge. With confetti? And are those pudding cups? What the Hell is going on? He blinks around, his first instinct to always look and see if there is some sort of fight about to happen. Hands are in fists and he really wishes his shield was somewhere around here. But he dropped that in the dirt a few months ago, so fat chance.

Steve will stand down slowly, once no one attacks him right off the bat. Sadly, he's been in this position before; in a strange place and time, not knowing why or how. His thoughts are back on Earth and with the friends he's broken out of their floating prison and now, seemingly, abandoned. Maybe there is a way out of here. Or, maybe, he's needed here more? Hopefully someone is going to be able to talk him through it all.


VIDEO:

Many hours later, Steve sends out a broadcast, finally understanding how and wanting to reach out to anyone else that might be here. Anyone else he might know.

"Uh. Hey. My name is Steve Rogers. Hopefully I'm doing this right and you can all see and hear me. I just arrived about..." He looks down at something and then scrubs a hand over his face as though in disbelief. "Two days ago. A lot got packed into those days, it seems. But I'm sure you all know how that feels."

Steve pauses, shifting a bit before getting closer to the camera, face serious. "I've met some people here so I know that what happened to me has happened to a lot of other good people. I have questions and a lot of things I want to look into. But first, I want to know who else is out there. Who else might have the same questions I do and who wants to start getting some answers."

He moves back and tries to smile. "Or who maybe just wants to talk? Anything. So, yeah. Thanks. How do I....um. Is it this butt-"

Video cuts off abruptly.

[ loki frowns. not because it's a bad suggestion or offensive. loki isn't sure turning back the clock is the best idea. even if he turned back the clock on his own death . . . what would that prove? ]

Ragnarok was a prophecy. It was meant to happen. Asgard was meant to die. There are some battles that are needed to be lost in order to win.

[brooklyn_boy]

I don't know if I have the same view on that as you, pal...

[But then he remembers his plane. Remembers the airport battle and the fight with Tony. Maybe he did have the same view]

Even if it has to die, there might be a way to save more people. Right?

[dothelokimotion]

By meddling with time? That seems like a risk.

[ and now he's worried steve would field this idea to thor. the last thing loki wants is thor turning back time to save his life. ]

[brooklyn_boy]

Sometimes you gotta ask yourself if the risk is worth it. Could things really get worse?

[dothelokimotion]

[ that is a fair point. loki grimaces. ]

Perhaps I'm not the best person to ask.

[brooklyn_boy]

Was Asgard not your home as well?

[dothelokimotion]

I would not claim otherwise.

[ but considering all the stuff that happened to him, loki is not convinced. he sighs. ]

Time travel is dangerous. The consequences can be deadly. I rather Thor live than chase the past.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve is silent, picking up more hints from that small statement than he expected to]

You're making it sound like it has to be a trade. Maybe it's worth discussing with Thor?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki wraps his arms around himself to stem any phantom trembling that might occur. ]

Perhaps.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve sees the gesture but decides to leave it alone. This is their first talk. They both have enough to think about.]

For what it's worth...if you both decide to try, you can count on my support.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he nods slowly. ]

I'm sure Thor would appreciate that.

[brooklyn_boy]

[Steve smiles, lopsided and content to take that.]

Of course.

Look, thanks for reaching out, Loki. I appreciate a familiar face. I'll message you again soon, yeah? I gotta fix this pizza issue.

[dothelokimotion]

[ this has certainly been a conversation. not unpleasant just . . . baffling. ]

Of course. Good luck to you, Captain.
