002〚✖〛video / action for violet city?

[torrentofbits]

[When Loki turns on the video feed, he appears to be sitting outside Sprout Tower with a Murkrow perched on his shoulder.]

Hello again!

So, I realized I've been here over a month now and I still haven't really introduced myself. I've been somewhat preoccupied. It's an awfully long story and I would not want to bore you with trivial details. But, since we're all trapped here together, it might be wise to get to know one another.

I'm Loki and this [He gestures to the Murkrow.] is Igor. He's the newest addition to my traveling party.

I'm sure we'll all be good friends in no time.

Carrion, I assume, and whatever else ravens eat. Just more of it.

[aidolmaster]

I-I think I'm glad for our normal birds.

[torrentofbits]

I suppose. At least those don't talk back.

[aidolmaster]

Some of them do! The ones at the pet store, anyway.

[voice]

[supersnipe]

Y'know, didn't think there was such a thing as too relaxin'.

So, you've been here a while, right? What does it have to offer to ya so far?

[...Suddenly Hiccup wonders if he should tell Loki about the time he told someone to name their mischievous Ditto after him.]

That's so cool! Sorry about the whole, uh, not believing you thing. You just look...younger than I expected. Uhmn, sir.

[torrentofbits]

... You know, I should have expected that.

[It could be worse, really.]

[torrentofbits]

... [Not exactly what he was referring to, but hey!] That's true, yes.

[He glances over at his Murkrow.] I still prefer my birds oversized but useful.

[heartdive]

What's that supposed to mean?

[video]

[greatbigrock]

_[Shrug.]

Guess it can't hurt. I just wouldn't expect a lot of takers.

[aidolmaster]

I bet he'll be plenty useful! He's just got that gleam!

[video]

[torrentofbits]

[Well, it just goes to show he has good taste in names.

He shrugs.] Given my reputation, it's not all that surprising one would expect me to be much older. I hear that a lot. [No harm done, really.]

Though... the sir isn't all that necessary.

[torrentofbits]

Nothing at all.

[voice]

[torrentofbits]

If one considers a month to be "a while", then yes. So far, it offers potentially lethal creatures as companions, the promise of grand adventure, and the ever-relevant question of where exactly the meat here comes from.

[video]

[torrentofbits]

I don't! Everyone back home hates me. Not having friends is basically an area of expertise.

[He doesn't seem particularly bothered by this either.]

[torrentofbits]

[No, not really!] Right... Well, I'm certain he ... or she isn't that far behind.

[He doesn't even really seem to notice said mercenary until the murkrow on his shoulder lets out a loud "KROW!"]

[torrentofbits]

Difficult, but not impossible. There's always ho--er... a possibility. If there's a way in, there's most likely a way out. [Again, not that he's too eager to leave at the moment, but nevertheless.] And it's not as though I haven't faced greater and more daunting odds in the past.

But, many thanks for answering.

[torrentofbits]

That gleam? [He glances over. Igor didn't actually steal something this time, did he?]

[video]

[greatbigrock]

_{[Oh, well, if nothing else they can bond over THAT. Tulio looks amused, mostly.]}

What, are you some kind of massive jerk? No, let me guess, monster? An illness?

[video]

[torrentofbits]

Asgardian God of Mischief actually, but I'm certain other people would tell you those are right too.

[To be fair, he was a jerk and monster once upon a time.]

[video]

[greatbigrock]

You expect me to believe that?

_{[Excuse you, there's only one God in his world and it wasn't named Loki. ...also a god, come ON.]}

[aidolmaster]

That gleam in his eye!

[video]

[newberktown]

[It also had a lot to do with the fact that Ditto can breed with anything... Though he would never admit that part of the recommendation.

He is still a little anxious about it--had Loki been in a bad mood, Hiccup wouldn't have put it past him to be capable of smiting him in some way. It hadn't quite occurred to him yet that being here meant the god was stripped of his own powers, as well.]

If you're sure...

[Oh gods, he'd had an entire conversation with Loki and hadn't realized it, he feels so dumb. Oh, right, manners.]

I'm, uh, Hiccup. By the way. Hiccup Haddock.

[eagletalons]

[Almost raises an eyebrow. By experience, Hope recognizes Loki's face as "almost scheming".]

You're welcome, but please take care. A lot of things here can be dangerous.

[lightningbearer]

*appears to be unfazed by the murkrow's cawing, though admittedly he has the advantage of not being the one being surprised here*

...Seems you've found a new friend.

*.....whether he's addressing the deerling or Loki though he fails to specify, though at the sound of his voice the deerling trots back over to him*
