[Stephen looks... less than pleased. He's searched the entire Sanctum and sent numerous calls and texts to Loki that all went oh so conveniently unanswered.]

If anyone's seen Loki, let him know I'm looking for him, since he's decided that not answering his phone is a legitimate tactic.

The younger one that lives in the Sanctum and made off with my cloak that is.

[Or what's left of it, anyways.]

And don't bother denying it, I have an eye witness to you rifling through my room.

[Aka he enchanted the mirror and it ratted Loki out right off the bat.]

I'll find him.
Scale of 1 to 10: how bad of a move was him taking off with your cloak?

( how much shit is he supposed to give him for being an ass. )

[suckstobestrange]

Honestly I'm more annoyed that he was rooting around my room than anything. Cloak is... inert, so really it's not the worst thing he could have run off with.

So like... a 1, if that even.

[wiccant]

( so, a four. )

Sorry about him.
I'll get it back.

text

[suckstobestrange]

[Nope, genuinely more annoying than bad move this time! Stephen's learned a bit about avoiding jumping to conclusions when it comes to Loki.]

No need to apologize. As far as we know it's just a bit of mischief, which really, living under the same roof as him I'd have to be an idiot to not expect at least somewhat.

[wiccant]

( it's too late, he's already decided it's a four. )

He has reception everywhere and never leaves his phone.
He could at least answer.

text

[suckstobestrange]

As if he'd ever do things the easy way.

text

[wiccant]

Yeah, but it'd make it easier on everyone else.

text

[suckstobestrange]

But where's the fun in that?

[Can you hear the wry tone there?]

text

[wiccant]

Oh, good point.
Saving the sanity of everyone involved is completely unfun.

It's always refreshing to know when I'm not in trouble.

[suckstobestrange]

Eh, so far even he's not in trouble, I'm more annoyed than anything yet. Trying to be better about the benefit of the doubt.

[Because good god but not communicating with Loki like a goddamn adult should has caused some Completely Avoidable Problems back home.]

[dothelokimotion]

Kind of you.

[ Because it's not often that happens. ]

Don't you have other cloaks?

[suckstobestrange]

Things have ended badly before because I escalated things that didn't need to be. Better to learn and not repeat that mistake if I can.

[He's a stubborn temperamental bastard though, so he's not sure how well he'll do in the long run. But he'll sure as hell try.]

I do, but this one is special. An old friend in a way, when it's not effectively dead.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't follow.

[suckstobestrange]

The cloak he absconded with is sentient. However it's been badly damaged in a way that I've not yet been able to repair and so is now inert.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Ah. His other self's meaning becomes clear. ]

I imagine that will not last forever.

[suckstobestrange]

I certainly won't complain if he's found a way to fix things. Wish he'd just told me if that's the case, but then I'm just as bad about that when I get an idea so I can't really point fingers too hard.

[ An hour or so after this broadcast, he finally breaks his radio-silence and responds. Far enough away that Stephen can't easily locate him, he figures he can make contact; behind him is the jungle. He's on a trek. ]

Such concern for my well-being! The sweetness of such a thought will be soured though if you dump ten Avenge-Moms on my head, Stephen.

[suckstobestrange]

[He does feel better to hear back from Loki, but shut up he wasn't actually a bit concerned under his annoyance.]

I'm not planning on dumping anyone on you, Loki. What I would like however, is my cloak back.

[ikols]

[ Sucking in a breath through his teeth. ]

Yea-aaah, not until I've finished with it. Have faith! It can't even feel a thing.

[suckstobestrange]

...What are you even doing with it?

[Loki you are not reassuring him with that additional comment!]

[ikols]

We're on a road-trip, which I'm sure will have it feeling far more put together than usual by the time we're done.

[ The vaguest vague to ever vague. ]

Was this public call-out necessary? Usually someone would have died first for you to speak to the masses.

[suckstobestrange]

...And just how long is this road-trip?

[God, is this how people feel talking to him when he gets vague and esoteric?]

Well given you weren't answering calls, texts, or magical messages, then yes. And I'm not that bad- [...]

Okay maybe I am, I'll give you that one.

[ikols]

I know not, only that it might be a couple of days at best. I accidentally closed the door in the Sanctum that would have acted as a shortcut and I couldn't locate it before it was time to leave. So, I'm on foot like a common mortal adventurer!

[ He waves a hand as though to dispel all that concern knitting an aged brow. ]

Go get a coffee at Trixie on me, prithee chill out as the kids say.

[suckstobestrange]

When have you known me to ever be able to chill out?

[Said as if he hadn't gotten a bit better at it since he's wound up here.

Also please say hello to Wong clambering up to stick his fuzzy face into the camera he hears a friend!]
