[Everyone who is listening can hear the sound of leaves rustling followed by a soft groan coming from someone's mouth.

After that there are footsteps that slowly fade away but get louder again after a minute or two. Apparently someone discovered the book and the small yelp followed by a referral to Odin's empty eye socket might give the impression that someone managed to step into a pinecone with his bare foot.

There is more rustling and a soft thud, the sound of someone opening a book and...]

Oh! It is a Midgardian recording device in a book!

How perfectly...impractical!

[Since the owner of this voice, Loki Laufeyson from Asgard, is really fond of any Midgardian way of communicating through long-distance connections he figures the book out in a rather quick way.

Eventually his face appears on everyone's feed, finger tapping against the screen to test if it might be a screen of touch, like his own phone of Stark used to have.]

Everyone! I figure this book of communication has been left to me with a certain purpose. So I shall ask for your aid, yes?

[Loki takes a deep breath.]

First of all, someone has provided me with white pants, yet has forgotten to give me a proper shirt. Second of all, I am fairly sure this is not Broxton.

Is there a town nearby? At least one where I can get proper garments?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Aye!

[Loki follows him around, still pressing the journal against his chest. When Steve announces they have arrived Loki blinks a couple of times.]

My clothes are inside this shop? I do not possess any currency at the moment, I am very aware of Midgardians and their preference for money.

That's alright. There's no form of currency here. You just walk in and pick out whatever you like.

So I am allowed to take everything that is inside this store?

[He takes a peek inside before he looks up at Steve again.]

That is remarkably generous.

[He smiles...no even better...he grins]

Does the Midgardian organisation of Shield provide free clothes to their agents as well?

I doubt you would need or even like everything in the store. But you can take whatever you from it, yes.

[He's...not sure yet whether he should trust that grin or not. Especially when he mentions SHIELD.]

Sort of. Every agent is given a standard issue uniform to wear.

[Loki enters the store and starts to look around, actually surprised that this store has his actual clothes. He returns to Steve while pulling a green shirt over his head, followed by the rest of his clothes, and Loki happens to wear a lot of clothes.]

My brother is one of the Avengers. Aren't you one as well? You probably get special superhero costumes, yes?

Or do you also have normal clothes?

[He pauses at Loki's mention of his brother. There doesn't seem to be any hidden resentment in the statement. Maybe they got along better in whatever universe this Loki is from.]

Thor, right? Yes, I am a member of the team. And I have both. A costume and regular clothes. It's not very...comfortable to wear my uniform all the time.

[He listens to Steve while hopping on one leg to get his boots on.]

Aye, Thor.

[He looks over his shoulder, thinking. When his mouth opens he completely disregards Steve's words about how uncomfortable his uniform can be.]

Is my brother doing well?

[He considers how to answer that. Since he...doesn't actually know the Thor this Loki is referring to. But then he figures it's easier to reply truthfully. Kind of.]

Yes. The last time I saw him he was doing fine. [And teleporting himself to Asgard with another Loki.]

[Loki nods shortly. That one pretty much answered a very important question. After all, all he knows his brother died a while ago.]

I am truly glad.

[He puts his gloves on.]
