( how the dinosaurs died )

[dothelokimotion]

Who: Loki + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: Planetside
When: Right here, right now

[ the feed turns on, though it seems to start with a burst of static and a blurry screen before it finally seems to straighten itself out. though the scene you might be seeing seems a little . . . hard to take in. mostly because it looks like everything has been frozen. plants, grass and giant dinosaurs like T-Rexs that were in mid-lunge to bite on . . . a huddled lump who has a quilt over their head and cocooned deep within the covers. And also happens to be sneezing a lot. ]

This — [ loki sneezes, looking pale, harried and a little . . . blue. ] — Is the worst. Why is everything so — [ another loud sneeze. ] — uncomfortable?! And how do you make it stop?!

[Bucky clenches his teeth, but - fine. Fine, for this Loki, he wasn't there. It doesn't change what happened - not for him. But if he's learned anything, it's that you aren't the same, and maybe don't even have the same motivations, as the person you are in a different universe.]

Fine. The version of you that I fought seemed to be enjoying himself.

[He's actually trying, here. Mostly for Steve's sake.]

Well, that's good - 'cause I ain't really feeling too pitying or forgiving. And all I'm trying to understand is where the blame falls. You can decide whether you suffer or not for it.

[ bucky isn't fooling loki here. he knows the reason bucky is even bothering to get a reason. ]

I told you. And you have heard from Steve. So either you doubt him or you are looking for some part of me you can understand. Ask Thor, ask the others. I'm sure they all know it by now. It is not a secret anymore.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

You really want me to hear it from everybody else, and not from you?

[ loki bares his teeth, red eyes flashing. ]

I told you what you need to know. Unless you have another question in mind.

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Yeah. Why are you a dick.

[Bucky sighs, frustrated.]

You want a ride back up to the Fleet or not.

[dothelokimotion]

You're asking for something personal when you have earned nothing from me. Or would you be equally comfortable if I asked you how badly you failed your best friend in the war?

[ loki waves him off. ]

You can go. You may play at this Avenger and hero business but you don't have the true heart of it. I'll wait for someone with stronger moral fiber.

[Bucky really, really looks like he wants to say something that he will absolutely not regret. Ever.

But he doesn't.]

Fine. I guess I'll take what fucking moral fiber I do have elsewhere.

[And he hangs up.]
