Video; thunderer [Thor 3 Spoilers]

[worldsaway]

[You can tell from the moment Thor's face appears on camera, he's been through hell and back. His hair is almost entirely buzzed down, save for the tufts on top, with markings shaved into the sides. His eye is covered by a black patch, indicating an injury that he isn't happy to talk about.]

I've made some changes. [Bluntly, as if he consented to any of this.]

What else.. Some things have happened at home that may be of interest to some of you. [He hums, considering.] Odin is dead. I have another sister? Her name is Hela. Mjolnir is destroyed. Banner is alive. [He feels a little guilty revealing that one, but he thinks someone deserves to know.] I fought the Hulk. I won. I met a real, live Valkyrie- And Asgard is.. [A people, not a place, but..] The realm has been destroyed. My people are seeking refuge, I suppose I understand now what displacement feels like.

I have the remains of Asgard in a ship, floating through space. If a portal could open for them, that would be extremely useful to me right now. I'm a king with no land or people, now. Very poetic. [Does he seem terse? He's kind of tense.


And then Loki comes barging in, looking very much the same and carrying a large parchment. He glances at the recording with a frown. He places the map of Earth on the wall, pinning it with a single dagger.]

Must you reveal everything? Put that away, I have work for you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki's eyes promise murder before they soften, velvet smooth and poisonous green. ]

Not unless you have the sugar, daddy.

[bottombitch]

[ He stares, suddenly his tone is light and nervous, because... somehow this is even less believable. ]

Is that so? Brothers... [ THEY LOOK NOTHING ALIKE?! ]

So what's your name?

[dothelokimotion]

[ His tone is clipped. ]

Adopted.

My name is Loki.

[worldsaway]

[Watch the smug look fall from Thor's face in seconds. He winces and draws back.]

--I yield.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki could keep going, but that's good enough for now. And Thor seems to be in decent spirits at least. ]

You're very fixated on kissing, brother. I'm starting to worry.

[worldsaway]

My intentions are pure and I refuse to let you sully them with your debauchery.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki risks a glance at Thor, vaguely unsure before turning his gaze back to the map with a huff. ]

You didn't have a wealth of options at your disposal anymore. There's no need to flatter me into staying when I said I would.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki's eyes narrow. ]

My debauchery?

[bottombitch]

[ Oh, relatable. That sounds nice. ]

Oh, that makes sense.

It must be nice to be so close. Do you help him rule his people?

[worldsaway]

You were right about the hammer. It was always just a hammer.

[Okay, no. He can't say that.]

A very useful, powerful hammer that I will sorely miss. But I think I can control it a little better now.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki takes a moment to shoot Thor a glare off-screen as if to say this is all your fault before turning to the screen. ]

I am helping for the time being.

[worldsaway]

Given limitless options, I would still want it to be you. I have no compunctions about thumping you when you bother me. [Heimdall, not so much.

Thor shakes his head.] I'm not flattering you, if your head were to get any bigger your helmet would no longer fit.

[spellslots]

That's one for Taako.

[He seems very pleased with himself.]

I'm not stupid enough to go for a round two, but if you ever want someone to practice shit with, you know how to reach me.

[worldsaway]

If you're going to pretend that tone of voice was not obscene, I'll expect you to talk to everyone like that.

[dothelokimotion]

Oh, I wouldn't dream of it. But now I'm curious as to what ideas you've been concocting in your head about my skills in that area.

[worldsaway]

Are... Are you alright? [Did this guy just have a stroke? No. Okay.]

No. I don't think it has a name, it's just a really big ship. Why would it be called Eluvio?

[worldsaway]

I would really rather talk about anything but that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Okay, that's a little funny. ]

Very well, Thor.

[ Only because Loki is gonna catalogue that for future reference and payback. ]

[dothelokimotion]

My head is not big.

[ It's petulant. ]

Why me?

[worldsaway]

I could certainly use the help. I'm confident it won't end in another pitiful cake, too.

[worldsaway]

Your forehead is. [Thor taunts, because it further delays an answer for Loki.

But Loki has always been denied answers, always denied honesty. Thor wants to be different from Odin. He wants to be forthcoming and, more than anything, he wants to trust his brother.]

All I've ever wanted is to have you by my side, Loki. All these years, fighting you, going around in circles and all I ever wanted was for it to end with us together. [Thor is almost exasperated that he needs to explain it at all.]

Beyond that, you're the most intelligent, resourceful person I will ever know. I need that now more than ever.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki resists the urge to touch his hair at that remark. Even now, he's still susceptible to what Thor says, what Thor believes. Loki just could never trust it before. It is simply came down to nostalgia, a deep seated childhood belief when they were no longer children, when the world no longer felt certain. As it hadn't been for Loki in years. Now Thor has felt that kind of uncertainty and Loki . . . does regret that. Partly. Not enough to apologize, but enough to soften the sting. ]

Well . . . you have me. I told Steve I wasn't going with him. At least . . . not for a while.

[bottombitch]

[ There he is! ]

N-no, I'm fine! I was just surprised. [ And like hell he's explaining the real reason why, thats embarrassing. ]

You look different.

Um, I keep hearing bad things about that ship, I was worried.

[bottombitch]

[ Loki doesn't look thrilled. ]

I'm Aoba.

...I recognize that map of Earth, is this where you're headed?
