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]

You need a hug, Lord Loki! Have you forgotten...again?

[As soon as the boy sees the familiar face on the Network, he makes his way to the Library. To be honest, he had begun to fear the god had been sent away like so many others he has known have been lately, and is overjoyed to see that isn't the case.

If Loki looks any different than the last time he saw him, well it's been a long time since Diarmuid saw him last and he is only seven...]

Do you want me to help you? I swore I would help you since you helped me and a knight always keeps their promises!

I've reached the same conclusion. I've spoken with many people who live on an "Earth," and yet many of these Earths are significantly different. I've found those who live on an alternate version of my own world, as well.

[For a moment, she pauses, a green eye on Loki. He seems familiar...]

It seems as if you need to establish the physical contact required of us here.

[They told you about this in the letter, Loki, come on. He's acting like he's new, and yet... She brings a hand to her chin, and though the red hat blocks her expression, the tilt of her head reveals her confusion.]

... Did we not meet several months ago, at the welcome center?

Looks like somebody needs a hug.

Like hell I'm catchin' a cold from someone else. [No way. He has a baby to take care of. A baby animal, yeah, but still a baby! While it's true from the other responses that it's probably due to a lack of physical contact...]

Anyway, if y'can stand spicy stuff, get a ton of it and it'll tear right through that cold. And, uh... [What else... Heheheh.] Garglin' hot sauce'll do it too. Boilin' hot bathes do it too, but my mom's foolproof plan was hangin' me over a wall and lettin' the sickness fall out of me.

[None of these are guaranteed to work, obviously, as it is a physical contact thing when it comes to Loki, and Gold's really just fucking with him. In fact, it's more or less the same advice he gave to another sick person.]

Goddess-bestowed Jedi Mind Tricks won't force the locals to give up their secret transportation.

For that matter, neither has computer-hacking.

If you can do better... well, do it.

[Oh, isn't that Loki? Steve briefly remembers meeting him once and although they didn't talk too long, he found the Asgardian to be nice enough back then. It doesn't seem like he remembers this place though.]

Can't help you much with the advanced study, but the common cold is still prevalent here. Water and soup is always good for that. [Or...] Your condition could be a result of a lack of physical contact though.

[When Naoto pops on the video stream, she's recording this from her own room, looking evenly at the gentleman.]

If you have refrained from physical contact, I'm afraid that's the only remedy to aid your current state. I speak from experience; I went for two weeks without contact myself and was in much the same way.

[She glanced up, as if looking towards something, before looking back down again]

I can be downstairs in a minute or two, if you'd like. We can discuss the situation in more details there as well.

[She SHOULD be working on getting her Agency running, but he seemed to be in a bad way...]

[video] egregiously late i am so sorry

[ironyman]

[absolutely not freaking out over here, not thinking about crazy other dimensions and portals and other things that make it hard to breathe. Nope, not at all.]

Hey, look what the cat dragged in!

So, tell me. Is this your punishment for attempting world domination, you rat bastard? The Carebears treatment? Or were you sucked here like the rest of us? Either way Asgardian justice is looking pretty disappointing, gotta say.

[Yeah, that was super tough and not at all anxiety attack-y. Great job, Tony]
