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?

See? I am always right.

[His name? Wouldn't the location be more of use?]

Uh...maybe my location would be more important. But I shall tell you my name out of gratitude. My name is Loki.

[...holy crap did he just say Loki. Uh.

...isn't Loki already here...?]

L...Loki, really...?

[Loki notices a bit of a change in the other's voice, but he shrugs it off, he's used to that. No big deal.]

Aye!

[Wait...he has heard it in this film once...it might be a suitable saying for this situation.]

The one and only!

[But he's... wait, didn't he just...

....

Wh... at...?

Okay, he has to see this for himself. It might get him into trouble again (especially with certain overprotective boyfriends) but it's totally worth the risk.]

Um. Right, then- got it. Don't move, I'll be right there.

[He shuts the journal, cutting off the feed, and immediately starts up a chant: "IwanttofindlittleLokiIwanttofindlittleLoki-"

It should only take a moments to track Loki down, and Billy appears nearby in a flare of blue light, already in a costume with a vaguely-Asgardian design that Loki might find familiar. If he squints.]

[Loki waits patiently after the feed cuts off. He wonders if this guy could really use something like teleportation. Maybe he was just lying. If so, he has been very convincing and Loki might have to compliment him on that later on...and oh...

He really came, wearing something that definitely had the word 'superhero' written all over it. Loki grins.]

One is a true Midgardian superhero! Let me express my approval by raising my thumb in the air.

[So he does.]

[For a moment, Billy can do nothing but stare. He... kind of looks like Loki. Like, the resemblance is definitely there, from what he remembers seeing in history books and the Avengers Archives back home. The age difference is just kind of jarring, especially since he'd met the elder, alternate-universe Loki that very afternoon.

This is one of those complicated Luceti things, isn't it? Either that or it's a trap, but Billy doesn't want to believe that. Which might have something to do with the thumbs up, because isn't that just the dorkiest thing an Asgardian could copy from Earth? It's disturbingly endearing.

First things firs, though.]

You're, uh... you're really Loki? I thought he was, you know... taller.

[And not twelve.]

[Loki stares back at the other while he closes the book.]

Well, I am half a giant. It gives me an advantage in heights.

[Did this guy meet his older self? That would be odd, and terribly, terribly problematic as well.]

But I am really Loki. Really.

[Really Loki. Really.

...Wow.]

Um. Okay, then. You can call me Wiccan... I'm from New York. Nice to meet you?

[This. Is. So weird.]

I am not lying.

[Ok, that sounds a bit dubious, coming from the mouth of the god of lies himself...]

Loki Laufeyson from the house of Odin. Nice to meet you too.

[So he extends his arm and offers his hand.]

Let us shake hands, Wiccan of New York.

It's not like I thought you were lying, it's just...

[Ahaha... you know what, forget it. If this is a trick of Luceti, then this could be his chance to learn more about Loki. And if there's two of them now, then this Loki will find out soon enough. Without further hesitation, Billy reaches out to take Loki's hand for a shake, still a little nervous, admittedly, but not visibly afraid. He's not about to back down just because a situation might be a little iffy.]

Just Wiccan's fine, you don't need to be formal or anything.

[Loki smiles, noticing that the other is a bit nervous.]

Do not be nervous. I promise I will not put a horrible, horrible spell on you.

[Not that he could, but Loki is not quite good in telling the truth to begin with.]

Aye! You can still call me Loki, Wiccan of...ah...I mean Wiccan without New York.

[Oh, yeah, Loki, that's really reassuring. He's not getting any secretly malicious messages here, not the way he had when talking to the other Loki, though, so... maybe it's okay.]

Okay, Loki it is. You wanted your clothes back, right? Come on, I can show you the village.

Of course it is.

[He sticks his thumb up for a second time.]

Aye! And footwear. My right foot had a rather unfortunate encounter with a pinecone.

[Billy lifts a brow at that, and he has a difficult time fighting back a bigger smile until he gives in and lets it happen. Cute. Little Loki is... cute.

....

But so, so weird.]

Yeah, the forest'll do that. Stick close, I'll get us there with another teleport.

[And with that he lifts his hands once more, starting up another chant - "IwantusintheplazaIwantusintheplazaIwantusintheplaza" - and unless Loki decides to interrupt, he should feel a sharp pull before the magic consumes them and zaps them right to the fountain area.]

[Loki smiles and nods, taking a couple of steps closer to Wiccan, watching him closely as he lifts his hands and chants something about wanting to be in a plaza.

This village must be a city. And if so, why has Loki been unable to spot it?

He closes his eyes, not planning to interrupt, he merely waits until something tugs at him and stays perfectly calm as that same something whisks him and his new friend out of the forest...]

[And bam! They're in the plaza. Try not to throw up. (He hates when that happens to first-timers.) Billy casts a quick glance around - he's still a bit weird about wandering around in costume here - and then gestures vaguely.]

Okay, so- welcome to Luceti, I guess. This is the main plaza, where most of the shops are. Your clothes should be in here somewhere.

[Except for the fact the world is spinning around him Loki feels fine and looks around himself, taking a couple of steps forward to appreciate this environment properly.]

My thanks, Wiccan.

[He spins around on one foot and points at one of the shops on the left of them.]

I am not one for shopping but I figure we could start there. And after I have reclaimed what is mine you should tell me more about your abilities.

Oh, sure. [Is that an excuse to ramble magic? Because he can totally do that. He starts for the clothing shop first, gesturing as he walks.] We can talk in the store actually, if you want- I could use some more civvies.

[And he's still on the lookout for his more dorky shirts, just in case.]

Aye!

[So he really could just pick everything from that store? But wait...civvies? Now thats a phrase Loki has never heard of...]

Civvies? Is that a Midgardian type of costume? Is it the type of garment Midgardians love so much that they decide to all purchase it because it is...a trend to do so? Yes?

[Loki starts walking towards the store, actually rather excited.]

Civvies- oh, uh. I guess they didn't have that in Asgard.

[Is he an official guide to Earth customs, now? Because he can roll with that.]

It means "civilian clothes". It's what supers usually wear when they're not in costume.

[Oh, Loki gets it!]

Since I am gifted with mischief my Asgardian garments would be my super hero costume, yes? So if I change into...say, a pair of Midgardian jeans and a shirt I will be dressed in my civvies.

Then I shall acquire some civvies for myself as well.

[He opens the door to the shop and looks inside. And right there, next to a stack of black slacks...his own clothes.]

By Odin's empty eyesocket!

[Pffft, that's such a great expression. Billy follows his eyes to the clothing on display, zeroing in on something that looks... kind of Asgardian? It's hard to tell when it's piled like that, but he's just going to take an educated guess.]

Let me guess, you found your own stuff? It shows up here within the first few days, so don't worry, this is normal.

Aye!

[Loki holds up a pile of clothes containing a lot of green and black and some yellow details.]

Shopkeeper, I shall be taking these. These are my clothes, I shall not pay any fee for them.

[Immediately he moves to put his clothes on and proves he has find a remarkable quick way to put on two shirts, a pair of tights, a tunic, gloves and a pair of boots. After that he walks around while pulling a black hood over his head, quickly tucking his hair underneath.]

Ah! That is mine as well!

[He leans over to grab something that looks like a golden tiara from the counter and puts that on his head.]

Wiccan, I am most ready to purchase more garments. I would suggest that corner over there. It has shirts containing witty exclamations, I am quite fond of those.

[Witty excla- oh god he means the joke shirts. Loki likes the joke shirts.

This? This is awesome, and he grins, shaking his head with one hand rested on his hip. He waves apologetically at the shopkeeper (who has already lost interest- sigh, clueless New Feathers - and follows Loki over to the display.]

Actually, money doesn't exist here. You can basically take what you want and not have to pay for any of it.

[Loki is all over that display and is busy looking through said shirts, contemplating what witty text would fit him most. He listens to Wiccan's words and smiles broadly.]

I see. The inhabitants of this village have access to free clothes and in exchange scientists use us for their...experiments, yes?

[Loki is not looking as if he is agreeing to such a term and...oh...oh, that shirt. He picks it up and shows it to Wiccan.]

Shirts with the faces of rage! They are most perfect when I want to express my feelings at certain events.
