un; thunderer | VIDEO

[When Thor switches the camera on, it's momentarily engulfed by his face before he sits himself back. Now that the frame isn't obscured, it's apparent that he's not the only one there. Both Lokis, Angela and Sif sit either side of him, all situated around a booth at some sort of diner.

Thor, naturally, is the first to start talking.]


It has come to light in one way or another that we could be considered Gods. [He's keeping it vague on purpose.] It is true, in a sense, that we are are not unlike higher beings. We are not mortals and we have powers and abilities beyond what many would be considered normal. The myths and the legends, however, are not precisely true.

[He just wanted to clear that up.] As such, we thought it would be prudent to offer our services in times of need. For missions or protections, we can be of use in many situations. You need only ask.

[He says we, but he largely means I.

Angela, for her part, doesn't look as opposed to the idea as she probably could.]


I will add that I will require payment for my services, but that can be negotiated at a later time.

[ She glances around the table at her siblings as if daring them to counter her.

The younger Loki leans into shot, finger raised. ]


Should you require an actual god, we come in that flavour too.
winscenario: (hundred forty two.)

[ Jim purses his lips a moment, nodding vaguely as he tries to make sense of that. ]

Different bad or different good?
dothelokimotion: (Truth takes us to dangerous places)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-27 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I do not know yet.

[ Different is the closest word he can find. ]

Mortals do not speak as freely as you do.

[ With me, but Loki doesn't say that. ]
winscenario: (twenty nine.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-27 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you just haven't met a lot of mortals before.

[ There's a trace of amusement to his tone, but mostly curiosity. Makes him wonder what kinds of interactions Loki's had with people in the past. ]
dothelokimotion: (This is the fear that looms)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-27 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ He sips his coffee and acknowledges that with a murmur. ]

I've met plenty but centuries linger in between.
winscenario: (hundred sixty.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-27 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm from 2263— on the Earth calendar, anyway. I'm afraid I can't translate that to whatever calendar you guide yourself by, if that's even a concept you have in Asgard.

[ For immortals, how much of a difference would it make which day it is? ]
dothelokimotion: (All hail the mighty glow cloud)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-27 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
You're quite far from home then.

[ The future . . . Loki rarely entertains thoughts of it. His green eyes spark with curiosity. ]

How is it different from here?
winscenario: (hundred four.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-27 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... let me count the ways.

[ He chuckles a little, humming in thought before he answers. ]

Money. We don't have a form of currency anymore, at the point in time I come from. I also pretty much live on a starship, me and my crew. Bones is my Chief Medical Officer there. There's a lot of things here that we don't really use anymore— like paper, for instance. That's a rarity. Fossil fuels are no longer used as an energy source, either. Not sure if you're even familiar with those.
dothelokimotion: (There are no trees in the library)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-27 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Then humanity has finally progressed. It took them long enough.

[ His tone is dry, but not particularly bitter or annoyed. ]
winscenario: (hundred sixty nine.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-27 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed. But... well, it was either that, or extinction. And I guess we just weren't done yet.

[ Jim sure isn't. Although regardless of the time period, humanity will always be something he'll be proud to be a part of. Flaws and all. ]
dothelokimotion: (Words are vibrations)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-27 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ah, so they were propped against the wall. That makes way more sense. ]

Your kind does have a tendency to scrape by.
winscenario: (two hundred seven.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-27 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ To be fair it wasn't quite as close a call, but still the risks had been there. They just happened to change in time to prevent some major catastrophe that would've wiped out most of life on Earth. ]

We've got a flare for the dramatic, what can I say.
dothelokimotion: (The concept of transitioning)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-27 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ A flicker of mischef returns to his eyes. Loki weaves in and out of his moods, never quite remaining in one. ]

That is one thing I enjoy about the human race.
winscenario: (fifteen.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-27 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Are we similar to you, in that aspect?

[ Whether he means Loki specifically, or gods in general, he doesn't specify. ]
dothelokimotion: (There are no trees in the library)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-27 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He chuckles. ]

Yes. I've been told I'm rather dramatic.
winscenario: (eighty six.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-28 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Guess we're a little more alike than one would think, then.

[ A bit of a tease, and a bit of a test, just to see what Loki says to that. ]
dothelokimotion: (We are happening now)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-28 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ His lips twitch slightly. ]

Is that a good thing? I am the God of Mischief and Chaos.
winscenario: (hundred thirty.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-28 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs openly at that. ]

Oh, you should've met me when I was younger. Mischief and Chaos might as well have been my middle names.
dothelokimotion: (This is a story about you)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-28 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ He blinks. Loki had expected a denouncement. ]

Do tell.
winscenario: (seventeen.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-28 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe a story for another time.

[ They'd be here forever. ]

Let's go for a drink sometime. I'll tell you all about it.

[ Well, maybe not all. ]
dothelokimotion: (A life of pain is the pain of life)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-28 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ Loki hesitates. He doesn't want to seem too curious, but at the same time, being asked out anywhere by anyone is rare. ]

Very well. Let me know of a time and I shall be there.
winscenario: (hundred thirty three.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-28 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Great! [ He nods, evidently pleased that Loki agreed to it. ] I'll be a little busy for a while, but I'll hit you up when I'm free. Sounds good?
dothelokimotion: (Guns don’t kill people)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-28 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ This is so bizarre ]

Certainly. I . . . look forward to it.
winscenario: (twenty nine.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-28 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
As do I.

[ He ponders for a moment, then just rolls with it. ]

I've enjoyed our talk, Loki. That was nice.
dothelokimotion: (And drink to forget)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-07-28 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ His expression flickers as Loki replies neutrally. ]

It's been known to happen.
winscenario: (twenty.)

[personal profile] winscenario 2017-07-28 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ He lets out a chuckle, shaking his head a little. ]

Talk to you soon, then.
