[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?

[Wait...Loki knows exactly what to say. Midgard has the perfect phrase as a reply to an answer like this!]

Oh! I know this!

No shit Sherlock.

Yes?

Cute~

Where are you at? do you see a river nearby?

[Cute? Loki was merely displaying his vast knowledge of Midgardian culture and phrases.]

Well, it looks like a forest. Lots of trees. Most definitely a forest.

[More footsteps are heard, Loki is obviously walking.]

There is no river in sight.

[Deadpan:]

You know how much that helps me help you?

none at all.

Well, me answering one's questions have been at least a bit helpful, right? Right.

[He walks on.]

But now we're on the subject of being helpful. When I find this river, do I need to follow it upstream or downstream?

Second of all, please locate the nearest busstop for me. I would be forever thankful.

[His voice sounds light and friendly.]

[Ignoring that.]

Sorry kid. We're in the boonies out here. There's no buses, no cell phone service, no internet, and no cable television. [A beat.] If you do happen to find the river, go upstream. All of the rivers around here meet up in the middle of town, and we'll get you acquainted from there.

[Boonies?]

I see. So when a place is isolated from the rest of the realm it is called a boonies. I shall note this.

[Midgardian phrases always have been most interesting.

So Loki moves to climb over a large tree trunk and keeps a lookout for anything that might resemble a river.]

Still no river in sight. Do I need to change course? South? North? There is a mountain in the distance.

Yep, and there are no cities around here.

...if you can see the mountains in the distance, try walking north. I'm not sure how far you are, but you should find our humble little village if you keep on the path.

I see.

[Loki is still looking around.]

Well, I should trust you on this one, then.

[So he turns north, carfully walking through patches of branches and stepping over everything that might be really painful to his feet.]
