[ The recording shows Loki in a tall-backed chair, a faint green glow off-screen drawing his gaze now and then in the shadowy surroundings. Chinning a hand, he appears uncharacteristically sober, the way only a handful of people have witnessed, and his lips have lost their usual mischievous quirk.

Sighing as though this is a chore, he begins. His voice remains carefully level. ]

Tony Stark of Earth-616 has returned through the portal. I had his movements tracked via rune-magic in case he fell into a different dimension or was kidnapped into Hel-knows-where, that sort of thing tends to happen back home more often than not. But it seems, from what I can confirm from tracing his last steps, that they led him ... away from us.

[ His gaze falls to the mysterious glow, watching it from under hooded lashes instead of paying viewers any mind. ]

If anyone wants to claim his workshop in the perimeter guard headquarters, it's full of his last projects. Unfinished. I suggest our other-verse Starks take precedence over commandeering his mess to make use of it or throw it away.

[ Turning the phone around, the illumination reveals itself to be a ghostly green Tony going about his work on the other side of the desk, a conjured echo as the reality-bending god looks on with everyone else. Why Loki summoned it is unexplained, but he raises two fingers to brush aside the phantom with a gesture and it dissolves in an unearthly silent breeze. The workshop's lights remain off; Loki doesn't need them to see and he would rather hide his face. ]

I doubt he would mind, either way.

[ he wasn't aware it was a secret! and he figures given the change of topic that loki is in need of distraction. ]

Not much. One guy got a bit too rowdy, so I had one of my zombies show him out, but after that it's been the usual. Kind of dull, really. So I summoned a new zombie and apparently he's was one of those bartenders that could throw around bottles when they mix drinks. Kind of an interesting revelation. I haven't let him behind the bar yet, though.

[ikols]

He hasn't thrown around any rowdy patrons, has he? Because I'd love to see that.

[deathkid]

That can probably be arranged. I mean, they do everything I tell them to, so next time someone comes in causing trouble, I'll make sure it's visible on the cameras as the guy gets chucked out.

[ikols]

Just videocall it to me.

[deathkid]

Can do. Anything else I can do for you? Provide some distraction?

[ikols]

I have work to do here, but thanks. For ... checking in.

[deathkid]

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

[ after all, loki is his friend and his own complicated feelings aside, he wants to make sure his friend is okay. ]
