[ you know who has two thumbs and is over this? this girl. it hadn't been the first time she'd woken up in a hospital bed with a dim memory of the last twenty-four hours, but natasha had to admit it was a little unique to be told that she was previously fictional and now she'd somehow become real. right. let's talk to the nice people and see how this goes. ]

I was looking forward to a long island vacation, but this wasn't quite what I meant.

[ a long sigh. mostly a put-on, but hey, some of it is actual exasperation. she wanted to be on a beach somewhere far away from space aliens. ]

Is there anyone around here who actually knows what is going on? Who hasn't just arrived, but who's been here and has some solid information?

[ she'll address the whole 'fictional' thing later. when she's not managing her temper underneath the surface of collected calm. ]

You're the other one, the first one! The Other-Natasha. Hello, Other-Natasha, I'm Other-Loki. Er, before you jump to any conclusions, I would like to take a step in and promise you that you will have no violent fire-starting from me. No aliens, no destruction, nothing of that sort.

Um, well-met again.

Your Loki is here too. Do be careful.

[redhourglass]

You're the kid.

[ she doesn't do kids. she's an internationally infamous spy, not a baby sitter. apparently he digs ice cream, though. shoo, kid, go eat ice cream with stark. ]

How .. is there another Loki? Where are you from?

[badnewsboy]

Er, aye. I'm the kid. It seems that word travels quickly in plain sight of the onlookers of this network.

There are many Lokis, from many dimensions. Think of this tropical isle as a vacation party spot. Only with Lokis. I'm the one that knows how to party.

[redhourglass]

I'm not so sure about that. The .. other Loki threw a fairly explosive party in New York City. Just ask Manhattan.

[ she heard about you through the avengers party line. nothing personal. ]

I heard you're supposedly "not evil".

[badnewsboy]

Manhattan's on Midgard, yes? You may ask Manhattan, and Asgard. You may ask Asgard many times, as there's been many unrelenting explosions at Loki's hands. More than not, you may ask Thor if you want the deets.

Regardless, I'm very Not-Evil. It's a very long and boring story filled with plot holes.

[redhourglass]

The 'deets'? [ she knows what that means. how do you know what that means? eyebrows raised, go! ]

Can you give me a summary of your long and boring story?

[badnewsboy]

It starts as all stories do, with some exposition! Asgard in Broxton, above the dessert, or something of the same sort. Terrible things happened to Asgard, caused all by Loki, of course. Then that Loki then died.

But as Asgardians do, he was reborn.

That's where I come in. Er, where he is? Possibly. There are many confusing ways to put this.

[redhourglass]

The other Loki died? And you're his reincarnation. Of a sort.

[ or, at least, that's what she's guessing happened. ]

I'm not sure how you could put this any way that is more confusing.

[badnewsboy]

Yes and yes.

I have a knack for putting things in ways of a confusing nature.

[redhourglass]

I wouldn't consider that a special talent.

[badnewsboy]

I can fit a whole cake in a cup in my mouth.

[redhourglass]

[ imagine this. ]

Terrifying.

[badnewsboy]

Yet still quite astounding. It's something you have to see to believe.

[redhourglass]

Is this something you do often?

[badnewsboy]

When given the opportunity, I certainly can't turn it down.

[redhourglass]

I'll keep that in mind.

[ accidental choking y/y?? ]

[badnewsboy]

[oblivious.]

I could demonstrate.

[redhourglass]

You have a cupcake right now?

[badnewsboy]

Only if someone is so gracious to purchase me one.

[redhourglass]

[ she is not falling for that. ]

I'm not buying you a cupcake.

[badnewsboy]

It's for science.

[redhourglass]

It's not and I don't care enough to see it.

[badnewsboy]

A bit unfortunate.

[redhourglass]

Buy your own cupcake.

[badnewsboy]

Aw.
