[ loki's been here long enough to have taken note of the fact that thor is here (two of him); frigga — his mother — is here; less importantly, tony stark, bruce banner, and natasha romanoff are here; and somewhere between in all: another loki is here. each presence in and of itself would be enough to influence his introduction, to play a part in how he decides to present himself, but all at once requires a touch more consideration, a careful balance between appearances and wants. different timelines — interesting — and different universes could play to his advantage, but

there's a drawn-out silence, whilst loki's gaze runs pointedly over the console, eyes narrowing briefly; he looks very much as if he's considering something and, at length, he lets out an audible sigh punctuated by a brief raising of his shoulders in a lazy, arrogant shrug of sorts. ]


—A turtle. [ dryly, with the barest hint of amusement and the momentary curling of the corners of his lips — because really. ] I admit, it's not quite where I expected to find myself, but given the alternative, I can't really complain. Perhaps one small act of redemption can do much more than one imagines. [ or not, and he can definitely complain because he had what he wanted and now he's on a giant turtle and that is very much Not According to Plan and thus super uncool. fuck this place, man.

nevertheless, he pauses momentarily, (feigned) hesitation gracing his features before giving way to a brief twitch of a smile. ]
I've heard word that my brother — Thor — is here. [ a beat; he leans slightly closer towards the camera. ] Tell me, did we win? Malekith, the Aether—. [ a loose wave of his hand and he leans back again. asking about odin would take it beyond the bounds of believability, so he falls silent, glancing away from the console for a moment. ]

If he's otherwise indisposed, please: tell him that Loki wishes to see him. [ THAT'S IT he's totally going to pretend he hasn't stalked the fuck out of finding out who's here. ]

[Well, at least some of those names ring a bell. Seeing the video, he understands this one to not be the one from his own world.]

I kind of like the turtle better than the alternative myself. What's this act of redemption? Was it a heroic death?

[He hopes it is. Those made for the absolute best stories.]
knewtoomuch: (well I'd rethink that)

Generally. That depends on the sacrifice. You sacrifice yourself for friends and family? High. Sacrifice yourself for a ham sandwich? Not so much.
knewtoomuch: (yikes)

[personal profile] knewtoomuch 2013-12-25 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd be surprised. Some ham is absolutely to DIE for.

[Deadpan himself? Likely not. He has been around for an awfully long time after all. He raises an eyebrow. And all Balthazar's brothers ever did was destroy everything. Go figure.]

That is quite a feat indeed. Must have been quite a few post-sacrifice parties in your honor. Maybe even a gold statue in your likeness.
knewtoomuch: (won't touch that with a 10 foot pole)

Well, that doesn't seem at all fair. I'm half expecting you to tell me he then took all the credit.
knewtoomuch: (do you kiss your mother with that mouth?)

no problem at all :D

[He pulls even more of a face.]

All the credit? if I were you, I would just stop trying to be helpful at all. I always fine it more productive to be...unproductive.

Let them come begging for your help then...nothing!
knewtoomuch: (well I'd rethink that)

;D

As am I. Even when the other simply does not understand. That's the great part of pranking if you ask me. Unpredictable reactions...and predictable! All fantastic! It's just a shame that people can't take jokes like they used to.

[He may be rambling now.]
