1. [accidental sound --> video]

[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

Yes. Actually, I will make it simpler for you.

[Saori closes her eyes, and Loki may hear the sound of thunder in the air near the river and spy a cloudbank forming over part of it]

Walk along until you reach the cloud. I will meet you there.

[She heads out, leaving the book open and the feed broadcasting in case the child is worried or nervous. Under one arm, she brings a basket with some sandals and a shirt.]

[Loki stands there watching for a moment as the clouds gather, they remind him of his brother.

Eventually he starts walking towards those clouds. No way he is scared of thunder, after all, he's Loki.]

Does one possess an ability to control the weather?

I do, yes.

[She drifts lazily through the air, skimming the treetops on a strong breeze, looking down at the camera]

And what of you? You speak of Midgard and in antiquated patterns. You are of Asgard, are you not?

[Loki walks on, coming closer to the cloud this lady is forming. He thinks the chances of her being from Midgard is rather small. That, or she is a superhero.]

Aye!

[Loki nods and smiles. Still he is not sure about the antiquated patterns, after all, Loki is very up to date with Midgardian speak.]

And you?

I am from Tengoku. If you are familiar with Earth's geography, Japan.

[Her voice is kind and sweet, an Asgardian deserves respect]

I am called Saori Kimura, the Daughter of Wind and Rain. What is your name, young one?

[Loki is aware of Japan's existence but only because of the world of online. So he nods and smiles.

She sounds really kind.]

Loki.

[The smile broadens.]

God of mischief.

[And lies, but that information is irrelevant. At least, right now it is.]

Loki Laufeyson, the Sky Traveler.

[Saori's voice is flat, but intrigued. Another one? Oh by the spirits above...two Loki's.]

Its nice to meet you, young godling.

[With that, she arrives at the cloudbank and lands on the riverbank]

[Loki's smile broadens for a moment.]

Aye. I take it you know of me?

[He watches her land and reminds himself that he should make her his friend. She seems nice, and she controls the weather.]

Nice to meet you as well, fair maiden of the land of Tengoku Japan.

Yes, I know of you. The Aesir and the gods of Tengoku are on friendly terms in my reality.

[She walks over and bends down with a merry smile]

Tengoku is Heaven, and like you I am a god.

[Loki thought that much.]

Then we should shake hands.

We should.

[She beams and offers him a hand. A child Loki from another world wasn't nearly so daunting as the other Loki she'd met in Luceti, or the one from her own world. He doesn't feel nearly so powerful, either, but she bets he can sense things about her...]

Its nice to meet you, young Loki.

[Loki shakes her hand rather enthusiastically.]

Likewise!

[Slowly he lets go, still smiling while his brains are working over time.]

For the short moment I will be staying here we should become B.F.F.'s. Yes?

B.F.F.s? You mean friends?

[She laughs at his enthusiasm]

I suppose so, yes. We owe one another at least some professional courtesy, I should say. And you are a most adorable little trickster, assuming you haven't shifted your form to tease me.

[He laughs.]

Ah! I might have! After all, it is common knowledge that women, goddesses even, are weak to the innocence of a mere child.

And since I am Loki I should take advantage from such a thing, yes?

[That draws a smirk]

Except that I can sense you do not have much in the way of magical power. Goddesses can feel such things, can't they?

[And then she reaches out, and pats him gently on the shoulder]

Don't try and lie to me, young one, not about trivial things. I'm less likely to believe you in the future. I AM inclined to be kind to anyone dumped in this place though.

[He smirks as well.]

Kind maiden, one cannot ask the god of lies to not lie. It is my nature after all.

But since I will refer to you as my b.f.f. in the most fond way, I shall try and keep my lies to an absolute minimum.

That would be wise. I might be more inclined to leave you to the Shift Hunters if you lie too much.

[She laughs, gesturing to the east]

Follow me, and we'll get you to the village. Its not a long walk, and you can ask questions along the way.

I am not familiar with shift hunters but that truly sounds like a gruesome thing to do. It is not what one would put a b.f.f. through.

[He laughs as well and nods, holding the journal under his arm.]

Aye.

Shift Hunters are houndlike beasts, an insult to true hounds. They dwell beyond our little barrier, like something out of Muspelhiem or Jigoku.

And aren't you awfully quick to decide I'm a b.f.f.?

Minions of Surur?

[Ah, that would be rather unfortunate.]

Ah. Aye, that is true indeed. I shall refer to you as 'my b.f.f. in training'. Right?

[Saori shakes her head]

No, not Surtur. Just wild beasts.

And if you like, we can be B.F.F.s, I don't mind. Its a rare day I meet another god, here of all places.

[Especially not child versions of someone she'd already met]

No overly large fire giants?

[At her second comment he nods firmly.]

Then B.F.F.'s we shall be.

Another god? Are there more divine beings amongst the inhabitants of this village?

No, no fire giants.

[Saori beams]

Yes, there are other gods here. They're all nice enough [except maybe your older self...] though there is one you should be careful of. A wolf god named Moro. Do not cut down the trees in the forest without permission, or she will tear you apart. Of course, if you stay on her good side she's nice enough...if a tad snarly.

That is a relief.

[Loki smiles a very sincere smile.]

I shall make note of this. But there are really no...other versions of me walking around in this village, Saori?

Many others implied that there is.

[Knowing himself he is not surprised that his older self would not settle with being a magpie forever.]

[She stops at that, suddenly, and turns slowly to look at the twelve-year old Loki. Should she? Would he mind?]

I...yes. Yes there is. A much, much older version with a slightly less sunny disposition. He may be from a different reality, much the same as you are from another world than my own.

[She smiles sadly]

He and I are not...as you say, B.F.F.s. But, we are on good terms. I was just unsure if you would want to know. Or if it would be proper to tell you.
