[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.

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?

[fuckyeahloki]

Midgard? Not in a age.

You and I, we are not acquainted. What is it you know and how do you know it?

[infernoandhearth]

[Luke shrugs. If you like!]

Well. We're sort of acquainted. Your alternate universe doppleganger or future self was here before, for one, and I've been told about him, for another. And I know you as much as I might do, being a much more alternate sort of you. Do you know any of the stories Midgardians tell? Those are me.

[fuckyeahloki]

Surely you do not expect to be taken at your word.

[infernoandhearth]

Wouldn't that be an indication, though? The lies?

You needn't believe me. I've no way of proving it to you, really. I can only demonstrate powers, and tell stories, but anyone might have those powers, or know those stories. It's not as if it affects you. I'm not really you, after all.

[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]

Should it?

Of that I am sure.

[fuckyeahloki]

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

[indecent_butterfly]

Not always true, for it is easy enough to manufacture a name as well as any lie. But, One is called Mad Hatter.

[fuckyeahloki]

Oh, but what one chooses to call oneself is nearly as telling as one's true name. Possibly more.

[indecent_butterfly]

As much as the names others use as well? For One has heard both in some cases.

[infernoandhearth]

You've never been called 'Liesmith' before? Ah well.

I never said I was. Only that I'm Loki.

[fuckyeahloki]

Now that is... interesting.

Have you proof to offer? I'd be a fool to blindly trust, but I would likewise be a fool to deny outright.

[fuckyeahloki]

Possibly. Probably.

Especially with the names one uses oneself.

Mad Hatter. Is there a tale behind that?

[infernoandhearth]

What sort of proof are you looking for?

[indecent_butterfly]

One likes hats.

And what name do you assign to yourself? Compared to those other do.

[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.

[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.

[ex_shiftings982]

Are you an actor or something?

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

[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.'

[punchedhitler]

Family situation.

[He's watching you, Laufeyson]

[Video]

[destinedtobeunpopular]

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

[fuckyeahloki]

What sort of proof would you accept would you find yourself in my position?
