3. [action]/[written] [slightly forwarded to the night from the 5th to the 6th of november]

[Action]
[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...]

[Written] (the next morning)
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.]

[Loki shifts and looks at Oswald, blinking.]

My complexion does not reflect my health. I am absolutely fine.

[He produces a smile.]

[Oswald's unsure whether he believes that claim.]

Hmm... I ain't one to pry, but if something's up, ya don't need to hide it.

[Loki huffs.]

I would be most happy if you could do some of your tricks. It will be appreciated in a great way, you see?

I am very good at appreciating tricks.

Yeah? [He can kinda see what Loki's trying to do, here. When humans feel down, they need entertainment. So entertainment he will provide. He hops off the treestump and stretches himself out.]

What do you wanna see? Juggling? Wanna try headbowling?

[Loki taps his chin a couple of times and blinks.]

I am sure you know how to make bowling with heads a very fun thing. So I'll go with that.

Sure thing! Hang on.

[He reaches into the hammerspace of his pants pockets and pulls out a couple of bowling pins. Don't ask how he did that. Cartoon characters have their ways. With intent precision, he sets the pins down in their standard positions. Then he steps back and yanks his head off his torso.]

The trick is to grab it by the ears. Then pull back and throw it with a roll of the wrist. Like this, see? [He mimics the bowling manouver, but doesn't actually throw the head. Instead, he holds it out to Loki when he's finished.]

[Even though the concept of bowling with someone's head is most gruesome and gory, Loki knows that Oswald probably is the only one able to turn such a concept into a funny and hilarious one.

And he is not surprised to see that the rabbit succeeds in that. For a moment he forgets about the cold and the throbbing headache and gets on his feet.]

Understood.

[Loki takes the head by the ears and narrows his eyes. He might be a god, but he has no nightvision. He takes a stance and throws Oswald's head a couple of seconds later, knocking over only half of the pins before it rolls into the tall grass.]

Now it is most appropriate to say 'One should work on one's aim'.

[The head pops back up from the grass and 'walks' back towards Loki, using its ears as would-be legs. Gruesome and gory? Naw, it's a visual gag. Meanwhile, his torso wanders over to the pins, both arms held out in front of it like a blind man.]

Yeah, that's exactly right. It's also appropriate to say 'Practice makes perfect'! I'll put those pins back up in a jiffy, so come on, why don't y- [A loud clash rings out as his torso collides with the pins and knocks them all over.]

Aw nooo.

[Loki shivers but laughs, deeming this extremely funny. Like cartoons of Midgard coming to life in front of his eyes.]

Indeed, you are quite good at putting the right words to certain situations.

[He waits as Oswald leaves to straighten the pins and laughs again when he manages to knocks them over.]

Rabbit, you cannot see without your eyes! That is comical but utterly stupid.

[Slowly he gets up as well and helps to straighten the pins.]

It's the comical part that matters most, kid. It's how I was designed.

[Oswald's head is smirking proudly and while he's still keeping half an eye on his torso, his hands are still fumbling with the pins. Hand-eye coordination is a little difficult when your eyes are more than ten feet away from your hands. Help will be much appreciated.]

[Loki watches for a moment.]

It is better that your head joins with your torso or that I shall lend you a hand, Rabbit.

I shall choose the latter.

[So he moves to help Oswald with the pins. He shivers as he does so.]

[With Loki's help, the pins are up in no time at all. Oswald's body moves back to stand beside his head and his arms cross over his chest as he smirks proudly.]

There we go. Ready for round two?

Aye!

[Loki's voice sounds chipper when he moves to take a hold of the rabbit's head. Of course it was very odd to engage in such activities in the middle of the night, but it definitely did its job.

He takes aim for a second time, narrowing his eyes a bit and this time he actually manages to hit quite a bunch of pins.]

In the game of bowling this is most definitely not a strike. But very close to it.

[He moves to crouch down next to the pins, putting them up again]

[Oswald's head rolls back towards Loki again, smirking widely. This time, he's not stupid enough to try and let his torso help out. What with all the rolling, he's a little dizzy and that won't make things easier.]

Sounds to me like the third time'll be the charm!

[For a second Loki notices how morbid this concept actually is. Playing a game of bowling with someone's head and it actually manages to cheer him up...]

Aye! That is the correct phrase.

[Loki likes to apply fancy phrases to situations.]

But rabbit, what are you doing out so very late?

[He could ask the same about himself but well...he just came back from the dead, he had an excuse.]

[He's quiet for a few seconds, then his torso gives a mild shrug.]

I was just lookin' up at the stars. Ya can see 'm pretty clearly out here.

[Loki looks up at Oswald's words and has to agree. They are rather bright.]

I see, yes. They're different from the ones that shine above Broxton. This really is an entirely different realm alltogether, yes?

Yeah... [He peers up at the stars again, squinting.] Ya know about constellations? Like the Big Dipper and the Coathanger? They ain't here. Not even the Northern Star.

[Loki nods and focuses on the stars as well.]

Maybe we should rename the stars so they befit the land of Luceti.

Yeah, that's a great idea! Let's see... [Hm hm... He points up at the sky.]

See that cluster over there? We could name it Catherine, the Big Ol' Blue. 'Cause of the guy in charge of the Malnosso. And there could be an Oswald cluster too, somewhere. [He just needs to find a cluster that looks like a rabbit.] ... See anything worthy of the name Loki up there?

We are not naming stars after prominent Malnosso scientists. That would be too much of a honor. Of course there should be an Oswald cluster.

And most definitely a Loki cluster. It will be the most michievous of all clusters of stars.

[He is looking for a cluster that could fulfill that description. Maybe one that looks like a smiley-face.]

Oh, maybe that one around that bright one. It has Loki written all over it, you see?

Hm... Oh! [His ears perk up when he spots the stars that Loki's talking about.] Yeah! Yeah, I see it. That one's perfect. You've got great eye.

We need to find you one as well, right?

[He looks at Oswald briefly.]

We might have to make a map of this and give all the constellations names.
Names we like.

Hmm... You're right. If we make a map, it'll be easier to find constellations and mark 'm down. But that's a lotta work...

But it will be fun.

Because that means the stars belong to us and not to the Malnosso. And it will be especially fun. We could ask everyone to help us rename the stars.

Help is important. Especially when it is a tedious task.
