( video broadcast )

[ the feed splutters before turning on. loki is surrounded by a whole bunch of boxes. boxes as far as the eye can see. loki has started opening them while the speakers blast this song loud and clear. loki, for his part merely huffs. ]

It seems I have spent a total of a year in this place and the, ah, viewers wish to celebrate. However most of this is useless to me, so I welcome anyone else taking them into their hands.

[ which, ngl, he's into. but the gifts loki has are just . . . baffling. he holds each one up to the camera. we have the mighty thor scooter, captain chickmerica, loki on hotwheels, a masterpiece, plastic horns, disturbing panties and something for "sophisticated men" ]

Please feel free to come by to the First Breath to pick them up.

Also, this has reminded me. Since we are essentially living by this . . . awkward mortal calendar, I have decided I want a birthday. You lot should help me pick one.

[ and get him presents. this is essentially a ploy for presents. ]

[ loki shrugs. ]

They do like to ineffectually crow at people.

And, by ineffectually crow, do you mean rouse people at daybreak?

[ because that's what Steve remembers about roosters right now. ]

[ hmm. maybe subtle jokes aren't the way to go. oh well. ]

That, and they tend to fluff themselves up.

[ copying steve's tone perfectly. ]

"Hi, I'm Steve Rogers and I think this outfit is working for me."

[ Now it's Steve's turn to lift an eyebrow. ]

I wasn't given much choice in the selection of a uniform.

[ of course, the outfit he's thinking of, and the outfit Loki is likely thinking of, are different things. ]

Ah, I didn't mean you in particular.

I do not think we have met before. Perhaps you could introduce yourself?

Ah. [ He's not quite sure he can believe that, though.

Because: ] ... Steve Rogers.

[ loki is big on individualization. duplicates does not imply the same and he'll not treat them as such. it's an odd line, but one loki cares about. to loki's credit, he doesn't react much to the name, inclining his head politely. ]

Well-met, Steve Rogers. How are you settling in this place?

[ That's - honestly, that's more than he's come to expect from most people who recognize his face. The majority want him to remember another life and end up disappointed when he fails to meet their expectations. ]

Thanks? I'm doing alright, I suppose. Considering we're all here as victims of a massive kidnapping scheme. It seems to be creating a sense of camaraderie.

[ wryly: ]

Nothing says bonding better than enforced spaces.

Nothing says frequent fistfights like that either.

[ Even if they haven't materialized yet. ]

I don't think that is a consistent problem with the Fleet.

[ at least not one he's aware of. ]

No, it seems more of an 'in general' problem. But I wouldn't be surprised if it happened here.

[ loki waves a flippant hand. ]

That seems like an Avenger problem. Hitting things until the problem goes away.

Sounds like something you should talk about with an Avenger.

[ he chuckles at that. ]

Perhaps.

At any rate, this place likes its placidity.

You know, I'm entirely opposed to placid. It's nice not having fireworks going off all the time.

[ now that is unusual. his eyes light up at that. ]

Well, I try to liven up things now and then. I prefer a little chaos to order.

[ And then Steve realizes what he said. ]

From what I understand you did. Liven things up. With chaos. [ even if it was technically before his 'post HYDRA' career. ] And I misspoke. It is nice to have peace and quiet on occasion.

[ and with that, loki dims. how dull. ]

You have no idea what I've done.

[ yup. ]

You're right, I don't. Could say the same about me, though.

I don't recall assuming anything about you in particular. We haven't met before.

I never said you did, pal.

[ and then, because he is curious. ]

What have you done?

[ loki purses his lips. ]

I tried to take over Earth some time ago.

[ He narrows his eyes, studying Loki for a minute. ]

'Tries' suggests you weren't successful.

[ dryly. ]

Well, if I was, I imagine you would have heard about it.
