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?

[kingofwaste]

Yeah? If you're determined to find a way to get to 'm, I'll be rooting for you, kid. So, what's your name?

[video]

[not_a_troll]

Loki.

I do not expect that they will be easy to locate. After all, antagonists always utilize secret hiding spaces.

[He starts walking.]

[video]

[kingofwaste]

Loki... Loki... Where have I heard that name before...? [There is a moment of silence in which Oswald tries to jog his memory. Then, finally, it hits him. There was a warning about this just the other day.]

Waaait a second. Aren't you that guy who used aliens to attack Manhattan?

[video] 1/2

[not_a_troll]

[Whoa...wait...what?]

[video] 2/2

[not_a_troll]

[Loki stops walking and pulls a face. He doesn't even have to lie for this.]

I have not done such a thing!

[He knows he has done some very horrible things in the past but this is completely new to him...]

I shall presume one is very fond of films. About aliens attacking Midgardian cities, yes?

One should watch Independence Day.

[video]

[kingofwaste]

No no, there was this guy. Steve Something. He said that uh... this guy named Loki hates his brother and that's why he attacked Manhattan with aliens. And uh... Oh yeah, he's a god, too! But he hasn't done anything wrong in Luceti yet.

So if you run into another guy named Loki, that'd be him. Don't ruffle his feathers, 'cause he sounds like a pretty nasty guy.

[video]

[not_a_troll]

My older self attacked Manhattan of New York in the company of beings outside the Nine Realms to spite my brother...

[His voice sounds soft, as if he is overthinking this.]

I shall not ruffle anything. But I will seek him out.

[video]

[kingofwaste]

Whah- your older self? So you are him?

[video]

[not_a_troll]

[Loki shrugs.]

That remains a mystery for now.

[He is not sure and he is not sure if he feels comfortable with the thought his older self is anything else besides a magpie.]

[video]

[kingofwaste]

[Huh... Oswald ponders that for a moment, before he comes to a realization.]

Wait a minute. If you think you might be him, doesn't that mean you're a god too?

[video]

[not_a_troll]

[Loki shakes his head.]

I am the god of mischief. Which means I will always keep my god-like status.

[video]

[kingofwaste]

God of mischief? [Oswald frowns suspiciously.] You sure that's a real thing? It sounds like the kinda excuse a kid would give their parent after breaking something expensive.

[video]

[not_a_troll]

[Actually, Loki feels the urge to laugh coming up. Still, he keeps a straight face.]

It is a real thing. Midgardian books of mythology will confirm this.

[video]

[kingofwaste]

Oh yeah? Well, I'll look it up, then!

[Except he'll end up looking for books from "Midgard" and there's a good chance he won't find anything at all, then. Ah well.]

[video]

[not_a_troll]

One should.

[Loki frowns a bit.]

It shall prove that I am not lying.

[video]

[kingofwaste]

Right. Well- [... Wait.]

What exactly does "mischief" involve? Do ya just play pranks, or do ya lie too?

[video]

[not_a_troll]

I do not lie.

[Yes he does.]

But dear rabbit, one seems smart enough to determine the meaning of mischief by oneself! After all, I might be a god, I am still unable to remove my legs and attach those to my head.

[He sounds very sincere about this.]

[video]

[kingofwaste]

Oh, well... Yeah. I am pretty smart. And amazing. [...] But I don't like to brag.

[video]

[not_a_troll]

You are most modest.

[Loki smiles and nods a couple of times.]

It would be such a waste of both our time to let me explain the meaning of mischief.

But I do like pranks.

[video]

[kingofwaste]

[Loki, you are most successful at manipulating Oswald. He's a lot less suspicious, now.]

Oh, pranks huh? Well, that's harmless fun.

[video]

[not_a_troll]

[Oh, Loki knows he's good at this.]

Aye!

[The smile still hasn't left his face.]

I enjoy talking to you, dear rabbit. If I arrive at this village we should meet, yes?

[video]

[kingofwaste]

Sure! I'll be here! Do you wanna meet at the plaza?

[video]

[not_a_troll]

Aye!

Of course, I first have to find this plaza.

[He flashes a thumbs up.]

But I am very sure that that will not be a problem.

[So he starts to walk on, in search of the village and said plaza.]

[Action]

[kingofwaste]

[Whenever Loki finally gets to the plaza, Oswald will be there! He's sitting on the ledge of the fountain, waving to people as they pass by and just being generally cheerful.]

[Action]

[not_a_troll]

[It takes Loki a long run through the forest to actually discover a village, and it takes him a bit longer to find said plaza. But when he finds it he notices Oswald sitting there.]

Rabbit!

[He waves.]
