[When the feed turns on Loki is obviously sitting on his bed, looking intently at whoever is listening. The message he has for everyone is of great importance after all. Finally he opens his mouth, voice firm.]

Land of Luceti! There is something that has come to my attention and I see it as my duty to enlighten you about this, yes?

[He leans closer to the screen because this is a most serious matter, everyone.]

I shall tell you my name and then I shall explain you what usually follows.

My name is Loki...

[He pulls a face and when he continues his voice is higher as if he is mimicing a woman.]

Oh my! Your name is Loki! Shall I tell you about this other Loki who is also most definitely Loki?

[After that Loki clears his throat.]

Land of Luceti, I am very aware of my older self's presence, you see? It pains me to see how everyone wastes their time on pointing that out to me every time I mention my name.

[He smiles a broad and very, very nice smile.]

If there are any questions, please let me know. I am very fond of answering questions, yes?

[That is a lie.]

[Later that day Loki heads out to the forest to do some exploring. He still hopes to find his way back to Asgard, even though his opinion about this village and some of its inhabitants is leaning towards a more positive one.

He plans to go more in the direction of those mountains when something gray, firebreathing and extremely foulmouthed catches his attention. Actually, he is very ~~pleasantly~~ surprised.]

By Odin's empty eyesocket! Thori!

[Loki turns away from the small path he has been following into the bushes to fetch his beloved dog and scratch it between its ears. After that he lifts the dog up and holds it in his arms.

The dog lets its disapproval known by letting out an impressive amount of profanities. Loki merely shakes his head.]

Hush, Thori, you are a good dog, remember?

[Loki has left this letter for Asch to read. Neatly typed on a typewriter.]

To Asch the Bloody,

I am very delighted that I got the honour to write a man whose last name is "The Bloody". It implies that one is a bloodthirsty murderer who likes to end the lives of his victims in a most bloody way.

Are you fond of bloody murder, Asch the Bloody? I find it rather gross. After all, bloodstains are quite difficult to remove from one's clothing. And it is unnecessary messy.

Do enlighten me about your bloody adventures, Asch the Bloody. I am most interested!

No, its far worse, unfortunately.

Oh? [His voice is dripping with sly amusement. Do go on.]

One needs to be less obvious about one's need for more information.

Need? ...Ahaha, come now. You place too much value on yourself. Furthermore... one needs not speak in general terms when another is quite aware of to whom one is referring.

But that makes everything sound more mysterious, yes? And if I would give you all the information, that would also make me less mysterious.

I will be at a great disadvantage!

[He chuckles a little. Keeping people wondering and wanting - seems this youth was a bit wiser than he looked or simply could appreciate the fun of playing a little game.]

Is that so?

[Just playing along.]

[Oh! Loki is very fond of little games indeed, count him in!]

Aye! Knowledge is power, yes?

A clever one, you are.

[A prim, cool smile curves his lips.]

But will it save you should some ignorant fool look to attack you on a heroic impulse, believing they are doing the world a favour? 'twould be easy for one to mistake you for your elder if they have met neither of you, and not all will be so kind as to give you a chance to explain yourself.

[Drawing on some bitter past experience back home.]

But... no matter. 'tis of no concern quite yet.

[Loki grins. Of course he is!]

But how can they make sure that they are attacking the right Loki without asking or gathering the right information? That would be reckless and utterly foolish.

Once again it proves that knowledge is power.

[He likes this game a lot.]

And what would you do in that same situation?

Not everyone is inclined to think before they act, I'm afraid.

[Cocking his head, he seems almost friendly.]

I...? [A breathless laugh escapes him.] My, what a curious creature, you are. 'tis another story for another time, perhaps. If I were to tell you now... 'twould make me less... 'mysterious', you understand. Knowledge is power - is it not?

[Hurrhurr.]

You are one of those people?

[Loki is fully aware of the fact that this guy is not friendly. But he plays interesting games.]

We have enough time right now. Do tell.

[Smiling.] Be wary that you do not make yourself an enemy with that tongue of yours... lest you wish to find yourself bereft of one. I say it for your own good, of course. [Oh, he wouldn't hurt a fly.] There are quite a few here in Luceti with a wicked temper, after all. And what is a trickster like yourself to do without a tongue for sharing jests?

[The 'trickster' remark only comes from cracking open a book on world mythology at the library in the last few weeks.]

Now where we? [Chuckling.] ...Ah, yes; the matter of time. We also have so very much of it tomorrow and the day after - what need is there to be in any hurry? I shall tell you one day... of that, you can be certain, my dearest Loki. Can you wait?

I am exceptionally proud of you that you know your Norse mythology. And I find your concern about my tongue most endearing.

[His voice sounds chipper, not even worried in the slightest way. But he recognizes veiled threats.]

The question is. Can you wait? I have all the time in the world, you see?

Surprising as it may be to you, my life does not in fact revolve around yours. My deepest apologies - I hope you shall find it in yourself to forgive me my lack of enthusiasm.

[It would seem that these cool 'pleasantries' could extend for hours if they were both bored enough, surely.]

Now you are just being uncouth. It might imply you feel outsmarted by a mere child and are at a loss for words?

[Loki grins.]

You are forgiven. I have won.

Speechless, am I?

[A little mocking, incredulous scoff of a laugh is offered and he drolly rolls his eyes in dismissal, smirking.]

Well, if it would make you feel so much better to believe so... [He calmly spreads his hands.] I suppose I understand. You have a reputation to meet, after all. I do wish you well in your efforts to realize your aspirations of cleverness.

Do not state the obvious. That is horribly boring.

[Loki is still smiling, though.]

I shall accept your attempt at being polite. Even though I suspect it is not part of your nature.

Such cruel words. [But he doesn't look the slightest bit offended.]

Not at all. I am merely stating the truth.

[His smile widens a bit.]

I am sure you realize how rare that is, yes?

Am I to feel honoured, then? [He inquires teasingly, canting his head.]

Of course. I have bestowed the greatest honor upon you!

Perhaps I shall remember it.

Edited 2012-10-24 02:35 (UTC)

Perhaps I shall be thankful. Perhaps...

[And offering nothing more than his thin, sibylline smile to the other, he quietly ends his feed. Cheeky little kid - but he'd have expected as much from one thusly named.]

[The moment the other ends feed ends Loki closes the journal as well. That was an interesting conversation with a rather dangerous individual...]
