[ The voice that comes out is low and rich, disguised as a gentleman. ]

So we are all here to "save the world". I don't suppose anyone has any idea on how to do that? Or better yet, how far along we are in terms of saving it? 30%? Though I imagine I am being generous with that number.

Alternatively, what do you do all day, bereft of a home?

[ the voice sounds vaguely familiar, but without a face to attach it to, nico is at a loss. maybe it'll come to him later, or maybe he's just imagining the familiarity. ]

Generally, it seems to be by forming relationships. The more intimate the better.

YOU REMIND ME OF SOMEONE I KNEW WHO LAST I SAW WAS TRYING TO ENUNCIATE AROUND SOME KIND OF ADVANCED ASGARDIAN BALL GAG. ARE YOU A DEMIGOD?

[dothelokimotion]

[ . . . huh. ]

I am sorry, I do not read rudeness in text.

[dothelokimotion]

Are you truly suggesting that we're meant to save the world with . . . the power of love?

[deathkid]

As lame as it sounds... yeah. I've been to another world where the [ finger quotes ] power of love was also used to grant wishes.

[Not a voice he recognizes, though he doesn't sound unapproachable, so he'll give Loki that.

His own response is jubilant, certainly that of a boy, tinged with an obvious German accent.] I'm still learning, but asking questions has helped! From what I know, thirty percent might be close. I can't speak for the system.

Try and stay out of the rain? At least, that's what I've been working on.

[servomotor]

THERE'S A TEXT TO VOICE OPTION. VERY ADVANCED AI YOU HAVE AT YOUR SIDE THERE. MORE THAN CAPABLE OF PARSING RUDENESS.

SPEAKING OF

NOT TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT
BUT IS INVADING A GUY'S PLANET CONSIDERED 'RUDE' WHERE YOU'RE FROM? RELATED: SO WHAT'S THE SITCH WITH YOU BEING HERE. YOU FIND THE NEW ENEMY KIND OF 'RUDE' TOO? BACK HOME WE HAVE THIS THING CALLED THE 'GOLDEN RULE,' BUT IT COULD BE PRETTY HARD TO EXPLAIN IF YOU AREN'T WEARING THEM BALL GAG.

[ Stark. Loki leans back in his seat, absently scratching Sabella's chin thoughtfully. As far as "heroes" go, Stark is low on the scale. A problem, but not necessarily one Loki couldn't handle. A lazy grin stretches on his face.

And if Stark wishes to engage in a game of words and wits, why not indulge? ]

Why, I had no idea my gag was so memorable. A fantasy of yours, perhaps? I do realize that you struggle to find people invested in you as a person is a difficult task at hand. What do they usually invest, by the way? 12%?

[dothelokimotion]

[ His tone is flat. ]

And we are accepting this at face value.

[dothelokimotion]

Not to worry. I've never been fond of rain.

[ A thunder god as a brother would do that. ]

What sort of questions have been answered, pray tell.

[servomotor]

YOUR LITTLE ALIEN ARMY WAS PRETTY MEMORABLE. YOUR BIG BROTHER BESTING YOU IN COMBAT WHILST YOU BOTH PARTOOK IN YOUR MOTHER'S DRAPES WAS MEMORABLE TOO.

SAID GAG WAS ICING.

[The multiverse is in the jaws of destruction.]

SAY. YOU DIDN'T BRING A POCKET CHITAURI ARMY, DID YOU?

[What would/will Tony Stark do if he had, you ask? WHO KNOWS.]

[dothelokimotion]

I also have fond memories of him beating you. Though I hear anyone can do that.

And no, I did not.

[vexy]

Yeah, well, [ said a fellow with a rather obnoxious voice, some mutation of working-class London and god knows what else. ] if you believe the rumors, it's all about "intimacy" [ he said with quotes in the air, despite the fact that nobody could see them. ] and "exploration" and whatnot.

Honestly? It's probably the last station before the final stop, so kiss your gorgeous arse goodbye, darling. Welcome to the end of the universe. Me? I get shitfaced and take it out on the local beasties. What do you do for fun then?

[dothelokimotion]

Not a particularly creative end, is it?

[ Loki has been through every ending. The disgraced son, falling into the abyss. The failed warrior dying for his brother. Each time, he's woken up with dust in his mouth and no idea where to begin. At least this time, he has a modicum of freedom.

Or so they say. ]

My tastes are varied. I like a little of everything, provided it is entertaining enough

[vexy]

Definitely not. Sort of Robinson Crusoe meets The Matrix I suppose? Still waiting for my red pill.

Good luck finding any entertainment here, I've never been so bloody bored.

[dothelokimotion]

Is that some form of drug?

[ He's not familiar with either reference. ]

No? I thought we're here to bond. Surely they'd provide us with bonding activities.

[vexy]

Ugh, bugger me I wish it were a drug. I could really use a few yellow pills right about now if nothing else.

[ He groaned to himself at the thought. ]

Yeah they've had a party and there's another one coming up. I suppose I ought to dress up since my mate's throwing it. May as well, yeah? Eat, drink and be gay...

[dothelokimotion]

[ What is with the colour-coded pills?? Is it a reference?? Either way, Loki swallows his question. He'll find his answers in due time. ]

And that is all they expect? Beyond the, ah, monsters that lurk around.

[vexy]

Who the toss knows? I can't think of anyone who's learned more than what we're told. Well, I did get told that our savior isn't a saint by a nasty bit of technology, but we all knew that.

Everything has a catch.

[dothelokimotion]

[ That makes sense. Loki's lip curls. ]

Then let's tug all the traps into the open.

[vexy]

Is that an offer for a handy? I might need to see a pic first, luv.

[ This was Vex, from unhelpful to perverse in a matter of minutes. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ A chuckle, followed by a low drawl. ]

Not on a first conversation. I'm very particular.

[vexy]

Bugger me, you have standards? I haven't a chance then.

[ His snicker was low, a bit self-depreciating. ]

Come to the party though, yeah? Might be a laugh.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki has exacting standards but he's also a sucker for attention. ]

Perhaps. What sort of party is this?

[vexy]

Halloween, so a good excuse to get into fancy dress. [ aka 'Costume'. ]

So, you know, go mad. Plenty of booze at least.
