001 [video] w/ in-person action opportunity

[erfingi]

[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]

[She agrees with a hum, looking thoughtful.] That or a large group. Either way, it shows that this place likely has enemies, as quiet as it seems. The sooner we could find them, perhaps the sooner we might be able to return...

[There's a thought. But she wouldn't know where to begin searching.]

[erfingi]

[the fact that there is such a power shortage indicates there are enemies in the first place]

Whatever brought this city to the state it is in is likely related to the culprit of these attacks. [there is a war going on]

[dragoncrest]

[It seems to her that he is rather confident in that statement despite having been here only a short time. Still, she can't say it's unlikely.]

I would not be surprised. However, if it is true that the events leading to its decayed state are not even in public memory, there is much that we cannot hope to learn without some kind of clue...

[erfingi]

[he cannot know if the cause is in public memory or not, it could be they just omit the truth]

And to be strong enough to seek these clues, we must maintain contact with our fellow abductees.

[dragoncrest]

[She does trust that they're telling the truth to some extent... and there isn't really much to do but be cautious in case they are at the moment.

But she nods in reply, a small smile on her face.]

There are worse circumstances to suffer to keep ourselves fit. [And hopefully with how long they've been sitting next to each other, Loki will be feeling better in no time.]

[erfingi]

[he is feeling better, thankfully, though, he wishes he didn't have to touch people at all]

Indeed. [he could name several situations he has been in that fit with what she has stated]
