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?

Aye. I shall come for you. You might recognize me by the fact I am not wearing a shirt or proper footwear.

I also...seem to have wings.

[After that he closes the book of communication and starts following the river, away from the mountain, towards this village. Surprisingly enough the walk towards said village is rather short and Loki finds himself rather content with that. After all, his foot hurts slightly.

When he sees a man leaning against a tree he waves.]

Hello!

Yeah, I kind of figured that much. And about the wings...we all have them. I can explain more once we meet.

[Having said that last bit, he closes his journal and glances up just as the boy comes in sight. Steve raises a hand to wave.]

Hello. I should properly introduce myself. I'm Steve Rogers. [And he holds a hand out for Loki to shake.]

[Loki walks up to the man, hopping over some stray rocks close to the riverbanks. He smiles and when he hears the other's name it does ring a bell somewhere.]

Aye, I shall do the same.

He shakes Steve's hand.]

I am Loki.

[That name is about the last thing he was expecting. And he very nearly does a double-take. Another Loki....but this one is just a child. And so far he seems quite different from the one he knows. He has to be from a different reality.

In an attempt to recover himself, he shakes Loki's hand for a moment before releasing it.]

It's nice to meet you...Loki. How about we go see about finding you some clothes now?

[Its not that Loki can ignore such a sudden response and raises an eyebrow while shaking Steve's hand.]

It is nice to meet you too, Steve.

[Still, he smiles after he lets go. After all, he is used to these kind of responses from others. The soon his name gets mentioned most of them get uncomfortable.]

That would be very nice, yes.

[Steve turns and begins to lead them into the village. A bit of an awkward silence descends on them as Steve tries to think of something to say. He starts to think that maybe it would be a good idea to get some information about him and the world he come from to see how the two compare.]

So...where are you from? You mentioned a place called Broxton earlier?

[Loki looks around himself more than he is paying attention to what Steve does. His question makes him look up again and he blinks a couple of times.]

I am from Asgard and Asgard is close to Broxton. I visit Broxton often so I can enjoy my shaken milk with my b.f.f. and take Thori for a long walk afterwards.

[Asgard. He's a Loki from Asgard so that more less concretes the fact that he is that Loki. But that doesn't mean he has anything to do with the Loki from Steve's world. Besides...he's just a kid. Who seems to have a fondness for milk shakes.]

I think you can get milk shakes here. They seem to have every other kind of beverage here to. And...uh, who is Thori?

[Loki sticks up a thumb.]

That is good news! I am in need of some shaken milk as well.

Thori is my dog. He is actually a hel-puppy but I have trained him well. He is a good dog.

[Steve gives him an odd glance. One of many.]

A hel-puppy? Is that his...breed or something?

[Loki shakes his head and ignores the odd looks Steve is giving him.]

He is a hel-puppy. A puppy from Hel.

[He couldn't be hearing this right. Nope.]

And Hel is a city? A town? [Dogs are sometimes named after the places they're raised in right?]

Even better, it is a realm. Just like Midgard and Asgard are realms.

[Loki moves to kick against a pebble, watching it bounce across the pavement.]

It is the realm of the dead, to be precise.

[Oh. So it is...that Hel after all.]

And there are dogs in the realm of the dead?

Most certainly! Hel-hounds. A variety of them. Most of them are vicious, but not Thori.

Thori is a good dog.

That's good to know. [Though for the life of him, it's hard to picture a Hel-hound as a 'good dog'.

And look! They've successfully made it to the clothes shop.]

Here we are.

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.]
