[Seventeen mortal days. Seventeen days and he had yet to find a way out of here. So many of his plans seemingly ruined by a group of mortals with more power than they rightfully should have. He had looked and crept around, looking for whatever brought him here, but there were no buildings as conspicuous as the Bi-fröst or any devices as strange as the device to harness the Teseract. In fact, they couldn't have the Teseract, that was safely on Asgard, and there should be no other mystical artifacts like it in the universe.

So, how did he come to be here? After much debate, Loki decided to turn to his fellow prisoners. He did not do so without much thought, what were the chances of any of these having even an infinitesimal amount of knowledge of multi-dimensional, magical physics? He has found an access point for the network, and is sitting as comfortably as possible, when he feels quite ill. In fact, as soon as he turns on the feed, he sneezes... straight into a teacup, splashing brown liquid in his face. Oops, it appears that this god of mischief hasn't been keeping up with the required amount of physical contact]

My apologies. [he manages to get a handkerchief from his pocket and wipe his nose. He has been ill in the past, but his is different, he can feel his powers drain and he feels tired. This is more than the sniffles] What diseases are native to this land? Has anyone made an advance study of them?

[a violent shiver knocks the video askew. You can see the library of building 2 before Loki rights it] If any know what will cure this dreadful cold, I would be grateful to hear your advice.

[he clears his throat, which had gone a little hoarse] Now, for the other reason of this message. I am forced to conclude that this universe is not the universe I am from. Unless one has found whatever device or artifact was used to bring us here.

If any would like to discuss this or offer advice for this cold, I can be found in the library of apartment building two. [never let it said he couldn't play polite]

[he manages to keep from wincing when Diarmuid calls the Aesir "his people", but it's a near thing. Oh, how he wished he could claim them again as his, but he would forever be an outsider, unaccepted.]

Most of the mortals of Midgard do not have the strength of will to utilize magic. Nor do they have the desire to find that will. Too many are lazy to their species detriment.

Contrarily, there are many religions with large numbers of adherents. While many of the "old" faiths are marginalized, they still look to the heavens for guidance. [mortals make no sense to him]

I hope the people of my world don't ever become that foolish. I don't like the idea of so much being lost...especially to laziness! There is no excuse for that!

[There is a definite pout on his face at the moment.]

I wonder if there is anything I can do to prevent it. I'm going to be a great knight someday. Maybe even a hero. There has to be something I can do! Something to keep people from making so many bad mistakes...

Your world is what you make it, so learn well. A hero can inspire his world to greatness. But only if you lead by example. [a harsh reminder to himself of what-ifs and could-have-beens]

I will try! I will try very hard. And I will never give up even if things go wrong!

[The boy nods confidently, remembering his favorite lesson from his father.]

You seem to be feeling much better now, Lord Loki. Do you want me to let you get back to your work? Or is there something else I can help you with before I go?

[surprisingly he did feel better. Touch apparently works. Damn, he was going to have to get in the habit of keeping contact with people]

Yes, I do feel better. Thank you. I do not believe there is anything else I need at this time. [a favor for a favor] However, do you need anything?

[Diarmuid shakes his head.]

I am good! You were the sick one. Just promise you will take better care of yourself and come to me if you need anything. I know I am just a little kid and you're a god, but I will do everything I can to help. If nothing else, I have been here a long time!

[such a sad thing that they took a child and did not send him home when his parents weren't here]

I will endeavor to do so. [he didn't like being sick, but he didn't like touching people, either]

[Well...they did send him home once. It's just that they brought him back...

Silly city.]

Make sure you do!

[Diarmuid playfully shakes a finger at him and then waves, turning to leave the library.]

I hope to see you again soon, Lord Loki! Be well!

[he nods regally, though, he does have a mischievous looking grin on his face]

And you as well.
