1. [accidental sound --> video]

[not_a_troll]

[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?

[Midgardian, huh.]

This book is probably starting to sound like a broken record to you at this point, but you're not in Broxton, kid. Wherever the hell that is.

[This particular guy looks a lot like Tony Stark. A lot. It might even be his twin.]

In the land of Oklahoma.

[So he might as well ask.]

Are you Tony Stark? Of the phone of Stark? I have one you know!

action;

[alloys]

[It's probably telling how long he's been here getting used to not being recognized when this shout-out actually catches his interest.]

The one and only. [Even if he knows that's not true, WHATEVS.] Let me guess--you're a Stark tech geek?

[He sort of misses Stark tech geeks. :c]

action;

[not_a_troll]

[A geek? Oh wait...]

I am not a nerd.

I am quite fond of your phone.

Is this book of communication your doing as well? If I were you I would revise it, it is way too big in someone's hands. And heavy.

voice; I DON'T KNOW WHY I PUT ACTION MY BAD

[alloys]

[Being fond of it should make him a geek. But he'll let it slide for now.]

Please. I wouldn't invent something so stupid. I mean, really? A talking journal? Does that sound like Stark at all to you?

voice; /patpat

[not_a_troll]

If it would increase one's profit, it might, yes?

But if it is not of Stark Industries, I wonder who is the maker of this contraption. I should point out how impractical this is.

voice;

[alloys]

Yes, please do. I'm sure the Malnosso will be absolutely riveted by your assessment of their product. Let me know how that goes.

voice;

[not_a_troll]

Your sarcasm is not very encouraging, Tony Stark.

You should join me..., after all, your knowledge about Midgardian technology is one of mythical proportions.

voice;

[alloys]

[Oh, he was supposed to be encouraging? Whoops.]

You keep saying that. Midgardian. Does that make you an Asgardian? Thor fanboy, or something?

[Wow he'd probably get along great with Billy, in that case.]

voice;

[not_a_troll]

I am from Asgard, yes.

[A fanboy? Well, he is a fan of his brother's deeds.]

Thor is my brother.

voice;

[alloys]

[This is starting to sound very familiar.]

Another brother? I hope you're one of the good ones.

voice;

[not_a_troll]

[Loki notices a pattern in the conversations he is having with people.]

The same brother, Tony Stark.

voice;

[alloys]

[...the hell. Loki was already here. And he wasn't this kid. Unless he'd already gotten kidnapped and messed with...]

Bullshit.

voice;

[not_a_troll]

One's insult is quite clever. Not even my fellow Asgardians have ever compared my identity to the substance that comes out of the backside of a bull.

Then the remaining question will be: How is it bullshit?

voice;

[alloys]

[Wow, he really has to explain this? Okay, then.]

Because Loki is already here. He's not you. That seems like a pretty fair explanation.

voice;

[not_a_troll]

It is not.

Loki is the trickster-god. It might as well all be one of my tricks, yes?

[Loki finds himself unpleasantly surprised. Not scared. But definitely surprised in the most unpleasant way possible.]

One should know better.

voice;

[alloys]

[This is unusual. Highly unusual. Tony knows multiple versions of people exists from different universes--but they don't seem to show up at the same time.]

You're not hellbent on world domination too, are you? Because if so, I'm going to need that phone of mine back. We can't be friends.

voice;

[not_a_troll]

[Loki almost pouts at that reply.]

World domination? Why would I desire such a thing?

[Ah...maybe.]

Is that what they expect me to desire? World domination? Utter chaos? Destruction?

voice;

[alloys]

[At least he seems put-out by the idea.]

Other Loki does. Maybe you and him ought to sit down and have a chat.

voice;

[not_a_troll]

[Loki shrugs at Tony's reply.]

And how would that help, exactly?

voice;

[alloys]

Aren't you a wee bit curious what you from another dimension is like?

[Tony was. He'd heard a lot about other Tony Stark and he did not approve.]

voice;

[not_a_troll]

[Loki thinks this one over. Yes, he is curious. Of course. About how they would differ, how their views would differ, how their lives would differ.]

Allow me to take a wild guess.

Utter destruction, chaos, leaving a lot of angry people, right?

voice;

[alloys]

That's the idea, yes. His reputation proceeds him, I suspect.

voice;

[not_a_troll]

My older self has a most horrible reputation.

May I ask what he did?

voice;

[alloys]

[Ahahaha well...]

Put simply? He brought an alien army to earth to try and subjugate the human race. And he smashed a lot of Manhattan. He's not exactly Person of the Year.
