not_a_troll | 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

Of course. I come from Asgard after all.

[...

...

Okay, so this isn't the first time this has happened. He met freaking Thor before. But that doesn't make it any less surprising.]

You...you--you do? Uh. That is not something you hear every--who are you?

My name is Loki.

[.......wat.

The thing is, this isn't the first Loki he's met. And this one isn't anymore what he pictured Loki to be like than the first one.]

...Rrrrrright. Like. The god of mischief.

[He sounds skeptical.]

[Loki ignores that.]

Aye! I am also widely known for my tricks.

[Is this another one of his tricks?

Would that even work? Can he impersonate himself?]

Uh...huh. Well. Uh. Hi. Then. You're not--quite what I expected.

How can one say I am not what one expect? Maybe switch on the button for communication through the way of images, yes?

[He'd make a point that his demeanor is the odd part, but he somehow suspects that wouldn't really help.]

Riiiight, sure, uh--[There switched to video. Say hello to the scrawny viking kid.]

[Loki leans closer to the screen and smiles.]

One is most certainly a viking. But a rather small one, right? The Midgardian mythology has teached me that vikings are most definitely larger.

[S-sob, and he's even gotten a bit taller lately. Once a small fry, always a small fry.]

Yyyyyeah, most of them? Are. But I'm...not your typical viking. So to speak.

Oh? Do tell.

[Tell what?]

There's...er. Not much to tell. I'm just not your average viking.

But there is! I am utmost interested.

[He nods.]

Except your height and lack of muscles, what is not average about you?

[Thank you for summing that up.]

Iiiiii'm good at building things? Er--inventing them? Aaand I have a dragon?

[No problem, Loki is always welcome to help with such things!]

See! That is the not-average-thing! Not many vikings have a dragon.

[Would this guy really have a dragon? That is almost as cool as having a hel-puppy.]

Yeah. I mean, almost everyone in my tribe does now. But I was the first.

[He has to make up for sounding so lame a second ago.]

You are from a tribe of dragon-keeping vikings? That is most awesome.

And cool.

[He sticks up one thumb, smiling.]

One has the approval of Loki!

[Oh, well...that wasn't as hard as he thought it was going to be.]

Yeah? Okay. Well, uh, I'll take it, then.

Is your dragon here?

[That would be the pinnacle of awesome, actually.]

Yeah, he is. I have two--but one's a Pokemon. She's kind of...tiny. Did you...want to see them?

[A Pokemon?]

I see. A Pokemon is a type of dragon? Such an odd name.

[But...]

Most definitely!

Well there's actually a lot of different types of Pokemon, there's--

[Never mind. That's going to take ages to explain.]

Hang on. Toothless is up on the roof. [So Hiccup has to temporarily shut his journal so he can clamber up there.]

[Loki waits.]

[And one moment later, the video feed starts back up again--except this time, Loki won't see Hiccup's adorable face there. He'll see a sleek black dragon curled up asleep on the roof, with a smaller dragon curled up against his side.]

Ahh--this is them. The bigger one is Toothless, and the smaller one is Kyle.

[Loki leans closer to the screen.]

That is most remarkable!

I take it the big one is able to fly, yes?

[Because that can be convenient.]

Can you fly the big one to my location?
