[When Loki wakes up the sun is already setting. And he has to admit he feels rather horrible. His feet are cold and his neck feels stiff and sore. He is also not wearing his own clothes, but a black pair of pants and a t shirt to match. They dressed him up in rather boring civvies.
The journal is lying next to him and he grabs it but doesn't open it at all.

First thing he does after getting up is climbing a small tree, trying to sort his thoughts before anyone would spot him, because for some reason they fail to make sense.

Well, knows what he has been doing the past couple of days. There was a draft, undead creatures and he set up traps, met one girl with blue hair and another girl with knives. He got wounded. And that is where everything becomes very blurry.

He might have visited a hospital? Something with books about chess? And there was this vague image of Saori somewhere...and his older self. And blood.


He waits until darkness has settled in completely and the other people in the village are going to their beds. Honestly, Loki is not the most happy 12 year old at this point, and all he wants is to get to his room without being seen. Without having to answer questions or have awkward conversations that would only be a great contribution to that headache that is slowly developing...]

Billy! Or anyone who lives on the fifth floor of the fifth apartmentbuilding!
It is of great importance that the system of heating is turned on inside my room.

If one has done so allow me to express my joy with a smiley face :-)


[OOC: Loki got killed during the zombie!event on the 28th, his death penalty is a creepy inability to feel warmth.

He'll stay the night at Saori's place, but feel free to catch him snooping around in backyards.]

[Saori had waited all week for Loki to return. She knew the date he was supposed to and had barely stopped moving for the entire day. From sun up to sun down she'd prowled around the village, looking for the little guy with a little help from some of the crows and various local dogs she'd spent time befriending. It wasn't the same as having her inugami servants, but with a little bit of ritual magic they'd serve well enough.

Towards twilight, one of the hounds came rushing back and Saori followed at a brisk pace. The animal ran around a tree excitedly, looking up. And when Saori's gaze followed his...her heart jumped and she called up the wind beneath her feet, rising to eye level.]

Good evening, little one. Welcome back.

[not_a_troll]

[Loki had seen the dog but was very busy with hurrying towards community building five to really make anything of it. All he wanted right now was his bed and warm blankets and...

...The sound of a voice next to him made him stop in his tracks.]

Good evening indeed. It is quite dark...

[He tries to let his voice sound chipper but he fails miserably. Strange, most of the times he always has been quite good at this. It must be the fatigue, and that his feet were so cold that they resembled little chunks of ice.]

[windandrain]

Loki, please, come here.

[Saori drifted in front of him, wearing a gentle, reassuring smile with arms open in greeting. Her eyes, however, are quite tired and strained.]

I promise, you've got nothing to fear from me.

This smiley expresses the fact I am most happy with this!

Burgers with my name written onto them? That will be an interesting sight, Ben.

[Snooping around someone's backyard at night? Not if the neighborhood watch, Lee, has something to say about it. He will abruptly jump down from nearby tree without all of the stealth you'd expect a ninja to have.]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

[Action]

[not_a_troll]

[Loki crossed two backyards without any problems. He even managed to not trample any flowers or break anything. The third backyard should not be a problem either,...until this very loud person suddenly appeared in front of him.

He frowns and covers his ears.]

So very loud in such an obnoxious way...

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[Lee will not take offense to that for now - for with a closer look, he notices his apparent age, and he offers a bow.]

Oh, I am sorry. You are just a child. I hope I did not startle you! Are you lost, young one?

[Guess who is out stargazing tonight? That's right, Oswald! He's sitting on a treestump near the edge of the village, peering up at the sky. His feet are swinging back and forth childishly.]

[Action]

[not_a_troll]

[A certain god of mischief is running very hard in order to cross a wide open field without being seen. Unfortunately he stumbles and falls flat on his face...right in front of Oswald...]

[Action] 1/2

[kingofwaste]

[The sudden noise and shady person falling near Oswald's feet give him quite a start. He jumps about five feet up in the air in alarm, his ears actually popping off his head for a second.]

W-WHOAH!

[Action] 2/2

[kingofwaste]

[Though, once he realizes who the stranger is, he falls back down onto the tree stump and grins awkwardly.]

Oh, hey! Geez, I didn't see ya there.

[written]

[selfhelp]

[Oh. Oh, thank god.]

Fire's on, you're good to go.

I'm glad you're back.

[written]

[not_a_troll]

I am very happy to be back as well, Billy. Apparently I have been an undead zombie for a while. Chances are big I must have had an unhealthy craving for brains.

[written]

[selfhelp]

You and me both. I'd offer to swap stories but I don't remember any of it.

[asthehawkflies]

[It's good to hear from the kid after everything that happened.]

I'll check if it's been done when I get back from training.

[Written]

[not_a_troll]

That would please me, yes. I think it is important to keep my surroundings as warm as possible from now on.

What also pleases me is to see you are alive and well, Clint Barton.

[Written]

[asthehawkflies]

Okay... It's getting cold anyway. Sure we can manage that.

I'm well enough. Thanks.

[folklorist]

[ Well this is a pleasant surprise. Helios didn't realize your were stopping by. Upon running into the other Helios will give a little startle before smiling. ]

Loki? I-I didn't know that you were stopping by.

[action]

[not_a_troll]

[Loki has tried to sleep but the chill refuses to leave his body. So eventually he decides that its better to sneak downstairs and spend the rest of the night sitting in a comfortable chair with a blanket wrapped around himself.

It isn't making much of a difference.

When Loki heads for the bathroom he runs into Helios. Of course...Saori isn't the only one living in this house.]

Well, that is the thing...

[His voice sounds tired.]

...it is not a planned visit.

[action] now with the right journal /sob

[folklorist]

O-Oh. [ That is...somewhat of a surprise, but then again everyone has their reasons for one thing or another. Helios suspects that talking about this is probably...not the best of ideas at the moment.

He does give a warm understanding smile though. Things happened and he can't really say he minds. ] I see. W-Well if you need anything I'll be up for awhile yet. You can make yourself at home. I'm sure Saori and everyone else probably told you as much already.

[It's only been a day, here. To her mind it's been a year since she last woke in this place. There was a bit of resigned and exasperated checking of dates just to be certain that she wasn't going crazy before Adele makes her way down to the kitchen. Coffee. She cannot possibly do anything more about being here without having some coffee.

She almost doesn't notice the young man already in the kitchen until she has to walk by him with a muted 'pardon me' to get the coffee maker up and running.]

...you do not live here, do you?

[action]

[not_a_troll]

[When Loki raids a fridge he likes to raid them in peace. Its rather awkward when someone walks in when he does so.]

No, I do not. I take it you do live here, yes?

[His voice sounds dreadfully tired.]

[action]

[the_other_leblanc]

I do.

[He wouldn't be here if he wasn't invited. At least she certainly hopes that to be the case. After a moment trying to sort out what the protocol for this sort of encounter she might be the lessons in playing the proper hostess click into place and she motions to the kitchen table.]

Have a seat. I'll...find something for you.
