[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.

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.]

[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.]}

[video]

[torrentofbits]

[Frustrated sigh. Why does everyone think he's lying?!]

Well... If I'm to be totally honest here, I don't see how it could be that unbelievable, considering we're a bunch of abductees from different universes brought to a world where one can fight with sentient ghost candles among many other beings.

[video]

[greatbigrock]

_{[Opens mouth to argue! ... closes mouth to consider.]}

Alright, fair point.

Whatever divine powers you had are gone though, so I don't think you'll have much use of that title.

[video]

[torrentofbits]

I know, but it sounds better than "Loki, currently mortal kid who's very good at trickery and similar."

[video]

[greatbigrock]

_{[Snort. Points to you, kid.]}

Trickery, huh? Never heard of a god who's much into that.

[video]

[torrentofbits]

What can I say? I'm pretty special. [Sort of.]

Besides, there has to be someone for the other gods to blame when something goes wrong, right? [he doesn't seem particularly bothered by this]

[video]

[greatbigrock]

_{[Hah, okay, he kind of likes you. Cautiously.]}

Sounds like you're all a big happy family up there.

[video]

[torrentofbits]

[Cautiously is probably the best way, to be honest.

AND MAN TULIO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE HALF OF IT.]

Oh, our family drama is legendary in the most literal sense.

[video]

[greatbigrock]

_{[Tulio will only do things the best ways, man.]}

Family feuds? Dramatic ... everythings?

[video]

[torrentofbits]

Well, before I arrived here, my evil uncle was trying to take over the world through fear? And then my father almost killed everyone on Midgard to try to stop him.

[Nevermind all the things he's done that he doesn't even remember.]

If that would work as any sort of reference....

[video]

[greatbigrock]

Thaaaat sounds like something I'd rather stay out of, yeah. No offense.

_{[It seems like it'd be common sense, really, to bow out gracefully.]}

[video]

[torrentofbits]

None taken. I'm sure the people of Midgard felt the same.

[video]

[greatbigrock]

Doesn't sound like they were given much choice, though. What's Midgard anyway? Do I want to know?

[video]

[torrentofbits]

Aye, they weren't.... But it's all right now.

[Oh, right.] You probably know it as Earth.

[video]

[greatbigrock]

I didn't know it had more names than that.

[video]

[torrentofbits]

Well, it's like Istanbul was Constantinople. But now it's Istanbul. Not Constantinople.

[Except, you know, they still call Earth Midgard.]
