[ You know that sound of something breaking the sound barrier as it speeds through the air? That's the sound screaming through the City right as something bright flashes in the sky and hurtles to the ground.

If you're paying attention to your device, you might see a shot of Thor walking his dog before the whatever-it-is crashes into him with a boom and a bright flash of light.

A sharp inhale of breath. ]

You--


[ voice; later ]

[ If dude doesn't sound good, it's because he just fought his brother, fell through a wormhole, crashed into the ground, and fought his brother…..again.

In other words, Loki has a massive headache. ]

I have gathered the basics of my situation. Someone send me this supposed guide, whatever use it may be.


[ ooc: Please check out Loki's permissions!!! ]

The guide you sent does briefly discuss the presence of beings of supernatural origin, strange a thought as that is to grasp. 'tis not so strange that would lead you to believe such claims.

[threeolives]

[ ...'tis? ]

Where are you from, exactly?

[chilled]

[ He glances down, away, as if recalling some sad distant memory. ]

I no longer have a home, but rather I am a traveller. I have been many places and seen many things, though this city is not one of them.

[threeolives]

[ Well that was an evasive answer if ever she heard one. Still, it's not polite to pry. ]

That seems to be the consensus. My name is Pepper. I've been here a few weeks now, but it still takes some getting used to.

[chilled]

I apologize if my manner has been ungentle, Lady Pepper. The suddenness of my abduction has given me a nasty turn.

You may call me Lukas.

[threeolives]

Oh, that's alright Lukas. The first thing I did when I got here was blame my boss.

And just Pepper is fine.

[chilled]

As you say, Pepper. Does he usually cause such things to occur?

[threeolives]

Never anything specifically like this, but explosions, kidnapping, extensive property damage... that sort of thing. I wouldn't put anything past him. [ But don't tell him that. ]

[chilled]

Yet you continue to serve him? How very loyal of you.

[threeolives]

Actually, at the moment I suppose I'm technically his boss.

We have a ...complicated relationship. Professional relationship. [ That addendum doesn't sound nervous or hurried at all, nope. ]

[chilled]

Then fortune smiles in your favor. Are you engaged in a business enterprise?

I would never have presumed otherwise.

[threeolives]

Why yes, actually. City Solutions. I'm afraid I can't tell you a whole lot about it, as I haven't worked there long, but from what I hear it's somewhat well known in the City.

Oh-oh. Of course not. Right.
