[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!

Positive.

After all, who would know Loki better than Loki, right?

Well, I guess you have a point there. [He laughs.]

Indeed.

[He grins.]

How have you been, otherwise?

Ah, pleasantries.

[He nods and smiles.]

I have been good. Also rather busy.

[Oh yes, of course...now he had to ask Jeb as well. That would be most polite.]

And you? Have you been good?

Yes, I've been okay! Thank you for asking. [He really hasn't been okay, but he doesn't want to burden someone he's only talked to a couple of times with it.] I've mostly been working on my art and spending time with my roommate.

Sounds like an interesting way to spend time.

[Loki nods, unaware of the other being not very okay.]

Watching paint dry, yes?

When I do paintings, I usually do other things while I'm waiting for them to dry. [He's trying to be clever with this.] I'm not bored at all!

Like what?

Sometimes I go to the bakery to see what kind of sweets they have. I sort of have a big sweet tooth. [He laughs.] I also go to the library on occasion to see if they have any books that catch my eye! But I'm not bored, not at all. Especially not when I'm drawing or painting... when I'm working on my art, that's actually when I feel the happiest.

That is very interesting and highly fascinating to me.

[He nods and smiles. Even though the information Jeb just gave him isn't really all that special. Still it would be rude to tell the other this.]

Show me some paintings, yes?

All right!

[Jeb moves off screen for a moment, but he comes back with a smaller painting, meant to be a rendition of the forest. It's actually rather good. Not on a professional level, but still rather detailed and well-done.]

What do you think?
