[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?

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.

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

Your sarcasm is not very encouraging, Tony Stark.

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

[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.]

I am from Asgard, yes.

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

Thor is my brother.

[This is starting to sound very familiar.]

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

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

The same brother, Tony Stark.

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

Bullshit.

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?

[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.

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.

[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.

[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?

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

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

[Loki shrugs at Tony's reply.]

And how would that help, exactly?

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.]

[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?

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

My older self has a most horrible reputation.

May I ask what he did?

[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.

[Loki blinks at that. Why would his older self do such a thing? It seems rather pointless. So that leaves one simple and short question.]

Why?

I assume the usual. World domination, thought humans were below him, so forth. We put a stop to that.

[Loki's mind boggles at that. Honestly. And he stays quiet for a while.]

I see.

My older self has been blowing up half of Manhattan accompanied by aliens from another realm because he suffers from megalomania.

I shall make note of this, Tony Stark.

See that you do. [He actually seems like a nice kid. It'd be a shame for him to turn out like the other Loki.] I'm willing to bet you don't have to end up the same way. Different universes and all.

It is not my intention.
