[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!

If it is all the same to you, I'd prefer to miss this particular adventure. The tunnels suppress my power, and they are underground. A god of the sky like myself hates being underground. Though perhaps you could copy the messages for me and bring them back? You can be James Bond, I do not mind playing Ms. Moneypenny.

[Yep. That's exactly what you think it was.]

Yes, he is a tad stiff.

And there are spirits. If you listen quietly, you can hear their call, and learn their magics.

I have copied them earlier. At least the most important ones. So that means I am James Bond already, and yes, you can be Miss Moneypenny.

After all, I like my milk shaken, not stirred.

[Another very amused chuckle. That was a most effective little joke and Loki likes his own jokes.

He decides to dismiss everything about his older self for now because there is a chance to learn more magic? Loki wonders if he could take this to a higher level. After all, wasn't his older self a skilled sorcerer?]

Can you tell me more, Saori?

Well good. One can't have a milk-stir after all, can they?

[Saori laughs merrily]

I can. They are called Filial spirits and they are mentioned in the guidebook. Seven in all. All you have to do is listen, and then they will form a bond with you. It takes time, but eventually you can use that to cast simple magics.

I've only begun contacting them myself.

Stirred milk is gross.

[He giggles as well. Just because it seems really awesome to be James Bond. James Bond gets all the maidens.

The part about the Filial spirits interests him and he moves away to rummage between his pile of books. His voice sounds a bit more unclear when he's doing that.]

Ah, I have this somewhere. This guide book.

It would be pleasant to be able to defend myself with magic. I still have not been able to find time to study this back in Asgard.

[James Bond gets all the maidens except for Ms. Moneypenny, which is exactly why she made that analogy]

It's in your journal, B.F.F. in training. I sent it to you before, remember?

And you cannot use magic yet? Really? I...find that strange, in a way. A god with no magic?

[More sounds of Loki moving, followed by a small huff.]

Of course I remember.

[He forgot... But he does filter the message immediately, huffing louder at himself for not doing that earlier. He does not want his older self to find out he is not able to utilize magic in a proper way.

He will be at a great disadvantage...]

Do not fret, b.f.f. in training. It will be a matter of time. I am a quick study.

Good, we couldn't have you being defenseless, now could we? I can't watch for you all the time, and every young god should be able to fend for himself.

I know that my housemate Helios teaches magic. Perhaps he could help you?

Of course. But do not forgot I have my brain and my incredible wit! And many other talents that I have not revealed to you yet!

[Loki taps a finger against his chin and nods slowly.]

Well, that could be a solution. I am a very quick study.

Of course, I'd never forget that. And why don't you come by my house sometime next week? I will introduce you to him. I think you two would be fascinated by each other.

[He chuckles softly before answering.]

That would be really fun! I will promise that I will give your friend the most fascinated look that I can muster.

And I will provide flowers. Flowers are a necessity when visiting another person.

That sounds lovely. I shall see you then, of course.

I'll see you later. Goodbye for now.

[And then she closes her journal with a happy smile]

Bye bff-in-training!
