[His attention is not fixed on whatever is filming him, but on the skin of a brilliant red apple in one hand, a slender knife in the other. The blade is wicked sharp, slipping into the skin of the apple, then just under. He peels it in a spiral that remains unbroken, fingers careful, but easy with the task.]

Strange, the varied methods of connection to this ... network. Do forgive my inelegance with these terms, they are new but not unwelcome.

[The naked flesh of the apple is full exposed. Loki holds the long spiral of red skin by an end, between his thumb and the blade of the knife, letting it curl over and around as he examines it.]

I have browsed the extensive collection of recordings and many questions were answered by that alone, but one yet lingers. Is there proof- first hand account or something more- that we are put back from whence we were taken and no time yet passes?

[He flicks the peel to the ground- out of frame- and tips his head, considering it. Then shakes his head and looks to the camera.] It is for a matter of little actual importance, only a family situation that needs personally attending. Thus any answers would be met with my sincerest thanks.

Comments

[infernoandhearth]

Not from me. I've not been home yet.

You'll have a sort of tidal wave of hostility heading your way in a moment, I imagine. You might want to put on a mac.

[fuckyeahloki]

Not entirely a useful response, then, is it?

Might I inquire as to why there is a tidal wave of hostility?

[infernoandhearth]

No. It wasn't meant to be, really. I wasn't answering your question, just acknowledging it.

If you don't know, either you're not one who does it, you've not done it yet, or you're completely without self-awareness. Been to Earth, recently?

[indecent_butterfly]

[Hmm, you look different from the last time, but someone doesn't really care one way or the other.]

One does know two who have left and returned again who have said so. Their word is good enough for this One.

[fuckyeahloki]

And who are you? Not to doubt your word, but a name always lends credibility.

[tangledintower]

Well, there isn't really a lot of proof...you just have to believe what the people who leave and come back say. I don't know how many of them there are, though...and they don't always remember.

[She shrugs and smiles.]

Case in point.

[fuckyeahloki]

Are you insinuating I have been here before?

[Considers.]

How far must I go back into these video recordings to find such a thing?

[Voice]

[bibliophile_annex]

I don't think anyone can say for sure if that's the case, but it's definitely something most of us hopes is true. Your family shouldn't realize you're missing.

[Voice]

[fuckyeahloki]

Hope is a fleeting and dangerous thing.

I should think we'll find out if they do realize my absence.

[ex_shiftings982]

Are you an actor or something?

[ Because you kind of sound like Shakespeare and she knows somewhere Charles' english senses are tingling. ]

[fuckyeahloki]

Nothing so common, though I have been known to entertain.

[mortemscintilla]

[ There's a familiar face. Not that they spoke much when Loki was last here. ]

...We-ell, I don't have any first-hand experience. [ Liar, liar ] But a friend of mine was taken, and put back here. He confirmed that, um... 'no time yet passes.'

[fuckyeahloki]

[This one is slightly less insane than the other.]

A friend you trust at their word?

[punchedhitler]

Family situation.

[He's watching you, Laufeyson]

[fuckyeahloki]

Of all I said, that is what comment on?

A situation having little to do with yourself, I'm sure.

[Oh ho ho. That's Odinson, mortal.]

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

I went home. Didn't remember this place, a year or two passed, and then I was brought back. Nothing had happened.

[Video]

[fuckyeahloki]

Allow me to clarify, you returned to your realm and held no recollection of this place? Entirely?

A stronger working than I thought these ... city gods capable of.

[hexuality]

You can't miss time at home because the future can't go on without you.

[Pause.]

You're back.

[fuckyeahloki]

Oh but it could, in theory. Unless you believe in fate and destiny and all of that.

I do not.

And I've not been here before. Whomever you met was of a different realm in a different circumstance.

[favoritetraitor]

From personal experience... impossible to prove I suppose.

[fuckyeahloki]

For it would presuppose taking one at their word?

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

There is only personal anecdotes as evidence.

Are you new?

[Video]

[fuckyeahloki]

At this point, it might do when there are so many anecdotes to account for.

I am.

[helsmaiden]

[It's not the Loki she was hoping to see, not even his older self that the City sometimes pulls forth. But it is still a Loki, and she is so starved for familiarity that after a long period of hesitation, she reaches out.]

I cannot answer any of your questions, but I offer you a warning: there are those here who would see harm come to you, and a safe place should you need it.

[fuckyeahloki]

If there are those who wish me harm, why ought I trust safety offered by one bearing a warning that others have already issued? It seems, if I wished to lure one after warning had been previously issued, that I would reiterate the warning and offer safety in turn.
