video » @LOKIOFASGARD

[ikols]

[ Two very green eyes (wide, without their usual cunning gleam) stare into the camera when the recording goes live, glancing up to the username that appears. Reading it, he mutters 'Loki of Asgard' and frowns, glancing around himself as though somebody else may spring up and claim the phone. When they don't, Loki runs an anxious hand through his hair and lets out a controlled sigh at length, standing awkwardly in his tee and jeans in the Floor Five lounge. ]

This phone I woke up with in my pocket is locked and it won't let me do more than make an emergency call. I know I'm on a moon for some reason, what the fuck, so if this is the local nine-one-one line I'd like some assistance, please.

[ 'Calm under strain' would be an apt description. ]

Such as, ah ... What's Asgard? And, how did I just freeze my bed solid? Because I totally did. [ In a panic when he woke up bewildered, oops. ] I — I'm not sure what to do.





( ooc: forward-dating this to tomorrow bc i work full-time and won't be around; loki is suffering a near-complete memory loss for the event. he doesn't remember who he is, his fam & friends, that he is magic as heck, how to use said magic, or his extensive horrid history. all he knows is that he agreed to come to a moon and once had an apartment in manhattan. )

[amelioraate]

Mmm yes, Anthony. [ the smile on his face grows as the heat flares on the god's face. ] Mmmm, superhero genius back in New York with a love of tech, here working perimeter defence. Similar but also not quite.

[ikols]

[ A pout drops so fast that he doesn't even try to hide it. ]

... I think I'll be a magical god, now.

[ How is he supposed to compete with a superhero genius, wow. ]

[amelioraate]

[ oh my god, you are even more adorable now. Tony can't-- he laughs and reaches over to shove at his shoulder. ]

You will, huh? You don't have to be if you don't want to, just Loki is enough as well.

[ikols]

[ He sways with the shove, shrugging. Tapping his phone on a knee. ]

I don't want to be a powerless damsel to a superhero, I hate the idea of that more than turning everything I touch into ice.

[amelioraate]

Trust me, I would never consider you the powerless damsel, ever. Even without super powers you formidable.

[ he watches the movement, nervous energy, for a moment before shifting close enough to put his hand over Loki's.]

C'mon, why don't we go get pizza.

[ikols]

[ The touch is unexpected and Tony draws his attention immediately when contact is made, cool knuckles turning under that warm hand to lace their fingers together with a squeeze. Grateful. ]

Showing me around with a promise of junk food? That sounds like a first date.

[amelioraate]

Mmm, second first date, sounds like a plan to me. Are you objecting?

[ there is a smile at that, eyes flickering between where their hands are intertwined with a fond look on his face.]

I will even buy, despite you being rich on this moon.

[ikols]

I'm rich? That's the second-best news I've had all day.

[ Not that he's in a hurry to jump up and eat right now, free meal or otherwise. ]

[amelioraate]

Mmm, you are. I am sure you would have figured it out eventually.

[ Tony hums, relaxes a little and raises a brow at the god. ] And what is the best news? That you have wifi?

[ikols]

[ WiFi is pretty awesome, but. ]

The sweet-and-thoughtful boyfriend angle, I'm not hating it.

[amelioraate]

[ Loki, please stop. you are making it incredibly difficult for him to not kiss you when you are being adorable. and Tony is pretty sure that isn't okay when you don't remember who you are.]

Well, not hating it is a start. But the wifi is better, trust me.

[ikols]

[ For the first time since he woke up, a mischievous quirk melts into his smile. ]

Depends which lasts longer.

[ Leaving that innocent statement as it is, he rises and tugs on Tony's hand. Pizza date time. ]

Will you tell me more about yourself as we walk?

[amelioraate]

[ ...oh for the love of--

Tony chokes a little at that.] That-- you know what, I am just going to leave that well enough alone right now.

[ because you don't remember, good god this is going to be A Test, isn't it. Tony is sure of it, even as he gets up to follow Loki, wandering to the door and out for pizza he is sure.]

Doesn't that ruin all the fun of discovering it all over again?

[ikols]

[ Heheh. ]

But I don't know what to ask you. Take the superhero thing, should I hazard a guess as to where you stand on capes?

[amelioraate]

[ there is another laugh and Tony caves a little, leaning in to press a kiss against Loki's temple. soft and easy.]

How about you guess, that could be more interesting. What are your assumptions about me, mmm?

[ikols]

[ In the elevator on the way down, he sidles into Tony's side to better receive the kiss to his temple. ]

You own fancy razors that you don't use often enough, your cologne smells like the engine oil I'm sure you've been around lately or otherwise it is the oil, meaning you haven't left your work in a while, yet you didn't pause to bring a coat before running over to help me today.

[ Loki squeezes Tony's hand. ]

You have a lot on your mind, but you're a good man who still did the right thing.

[amelioraate]

[ Tony hums as Loki leans in, wrapping around him easily like it is something they do often, as he listens to the god talk.

he finds it a little difficult to speak at first, something caught in his throat, but he presses his face into Loki's hair.]

.... you are far too perceptive, you know that right? I mean, not the greatest person, a little off on that but-- Yeah, okay.

[ikols]

[ It's an odd sense of familiarity that has him laying his head on Tony's shoulder. The arm around his middle isn't suffocating or threatening, it's simply there because it wants to be and Loki appreciates that. ]

I'm sorry that I can't remember us. Is there anything important I should know? Do we live together or are we engaged?

[ Leading those prompts to see which reaction he gets, mostly. ]

[amelioraate]

[ even now, when Loki has no memories of them, no understanding of who Tony is, of what he is capable of, the god finds it so easy to lean against him. to stay close and in some sense trust him.

the questions make him sigh though, arm tightening ever so slightly.]

We lived in communal housing together, but that has recently... changed. And engaged? Are you so sure you want that from me? [ it doesn't make him baulk, but he is curious.] But also, no... we-- honestly? We have been a little rocky lately thanks to my increasingly infuriating inability to communicate correctly. You've got a place in the Sanctum though, with Stephen Strange the Sorcerer Supreme. Oh, we should probably make sure Freyja has been fed, speaking of.

[ikols]

So we do live together? And I don't know, Anthony, how do you feel about getting engaged?

[ Someone is in a good enough mood now to obviously revel in teasing. He tilts his head curiously. ]

Let's grab the pizza on the way to this Sanctum, then, and you can feed whichever pet is there. Do you need my permission usually? You have it.

[amelioraate]

I feel like we've only been together for all of three months and, as much as I love you, that might be a bit much. Also, your brother and sister might murder me.

[ you know, just a little. actually, he is surprised they haven't tried that already honestly. but Tony still smiles as he looks down, even if he is pointedly ignoring the living together question.

he laughs though, arm tightening around Loki at the regal permission.]

Mmm, pizza then Sanctum it is. And Freyja is a snake you rescued while out on a mission. She is... interesting.

[ikols]

Only three months? Yikes, and you're this handsy? You must like me a lot.

[ Taking mental notes on Tony avoiding mentioning his own living situation, Loki slides an arm around him in return as they walk. ]

Why is everything Norse-themed? I feel like I'm stuck on repeat like a record.

[amelioraate]

...yeah, I am a little fond of you, you might say.

[ there is another kiss to his temple as they begin to walk, more than okay with just keeping a meandering pace, arm wrapped around Loki easily.]

Because you are a Norse deity, whether you remember it or not.

[ikols]

I don't see why I can't be a deity of bacon or coffee, or freshly ironed shirts or new socks. Those seem way more important.

[ Maybe he just wants to fight everything he's being told by the masses, purely to be contrary. Ironically very Loki-like in the process. ]

Mischief and Lies doesn't sound too hot.

[amelioraate]

...you are a god, you can probably put that on your calling card honestly. No one would challenge you. Unless there already are those gods? But, don't think so.

[ look, he won't tell you that you can't, okay. he knows better than to try and put Loki in a box, after all.]

Dunno, the mischief part is at least mostly benign, right? Lies, well... I don't know.
