[ Loki is leaning a bit too close to the terminal screen when he starts to record his little post. He seems a little too bright-eyed given the circumstances, and there’s an odd rapidity to his speech when he starts talking. ]

I have to admit, I am disappointed. [ He holds up a touchscreen phone so his audience can get a look at it. ] These Starkphones are simply not designed for the rigor of interdimensional travel, and the lack of service is a failure I cannot abide. How will I chronicle my doings without the aid of Instagram and Facebook? Nor can I go on to spread knowledge of this failing with a review!

At least the natives of this realm are accommodating, though I don’t think this makes for an adequate replacement of my phone.

[ He pauses only briefly before switching gears. ] Now, moving onto more important matters… I have a few questions about the quality of native cuisine and where the best breakfast can be found.

Starkphone? Seriously?

[ He wrinkles his nose. ]

That's the best some other world's version of me could come up with?

[bacondivination]

[ Oh, this could be interesting. ]

Unreasonably cumbersome name aside, your counterpart was responsible for a perfectly serviceable device until it was quite suddenly made of fail.

[manofiron]

Maybe it's a cheap knockoff. Stuff I make—Stuff any Stark makes is never made of fail.

[ And by any Stark, he means any Tony Stark. Don't get him started on his loser cousin. ]

[leviathaned]

...'Instgram'? 'Facebook'?

[LOKI YOU ARE CONCERNING HIM FOR THE FUTURE.]

Of course it's not going to work for interdimensional travel, that would be convenient.

[bacondivination]

They are the ways in which Midgardians share their daily adventures and display imagery of their meals to all their friends. The convenience is greatly missed.

[spiderkid]

Uh, [Staring because you are a walking anachronism...]

There's a lot of seafood, but it's pretty good. There's a cafe in Earth Sector that has good breakfast pastries though.

[bacondivination]

[ Finally, a helpful answer! ]

Do they have any of the land-dwelling meats? Like bacon?

[Huh. Well the clothing was very familiar to him, not the outfit, the style. Also the speech pattern, that was quite familiar. Another thing that's familiar is seeing a kid with a phone and being attached to it. He's not surprised by this. At all.]

I don't think it's very surprising that technology available to the general public can't cope with inter-dimensional travel. I'd be more surprised if it did without being tinkered with.

[bacondivination]

It is still unfair.

[ Even Asgardian kids can't be pried off their phones these days. ]

Thank the Nine Realms that there is Tony Stark trapped here as well. The day may yet be saved.

[skybluejeep]

Oh thank god, somebody else who understands the importance of Facebook and Instagram. My life is void without it.

[bacondivination]

I know, right? I had thought none would sympathize with my plight.

[withoutaworld]

[ Rikki narrows her eyes at the screen. Yeah, she's not so good with Facebook and has no idea what Instagram is, but he has a Starkphone so he's from some version of her universe, and... ]

Why are you dressed like that?

[bacondivination]

These are my clothes. If I did not, the alternative would need censors.

[parallels]

I know. Think of all the moments that won't be captured due to a lack of a mobile phone camera. The complete lack of twitter updates about the most inane things.

Terrible.

[bacondivination]

[ This clearly requires the most apparently unironic response he can muster. ]

That's exactly it. Thank you.

[Whose idea of a bad joke is this?]

Now I know they're making mistakes.

Re: video;

[bacondivination]

[ Oh, but it's a very good joke. ]

You really think so? I'm not.

[wrathfulkhan]

[Gene gives a start.]

A Starkphone? [He takes out his own phone, which looks similar, but not identical. Stark tech apparently has a cross-universal design aesthetic.] Didn't even think to check mine. It's not working, either. [Besides, who would he even try to call?]

[bacondivination]

A true travesty of justice, if you ask me.

[What the hell is this? That's definitely Loki's costume. Billy would recognize that one from anywhere, I mean, really, it's not exactly subtle. But he has a phone, and knows about Facebook, but seriously, what the hell?]

I've only been using mine for pictures, but if you keep using it, you might run out of battery life unless you brought a charger with you, too.

..And like everyone's said, Fire Sector is the best place to get breakfast, but it's not the same kind as back home. For anyone.

[bacondivination]

I knew one of you had to be here!

[ Loki sounds so excited, almost childishly so.

And, yeah, he is the least subtle, but at least it's not old Loki with his helmet of gigantic horned glory, right? ]

The spell blew up in my face, but I thought I had seen something. Now do tell me that you're the right one?

[ Also, he probably sounds crazy. ]

[zinthosmantra]

... you want to update your Instagram?

[bacondivination]

This is my first time being kidnapped to a giant turtle. If not now, when?

[urbanmagic]

On the plus side, you don't have internet here. You'd never need to chronicle in Facebook again. Personally, I think it's overrated anyway.

Too bad about communication on the go though.

[bacondivination]

But my actions and what foods I choose to eat are both very interesting. I need to share them somewhere, especially with colored filters altering the appearance of their natural characteristics.
