[The screen of their communicators flickers to life with a fluorescent glow. Initially, there's only a hint of someone there-- thick red fabric, chain mail, a hammer.]

I had prayed to come to good tidings. Greet friends, and assuage fears. To bolster thy strength with mine own.

Instead, I come here haunted by past misgivings I thought requited, by a name all too familiar to me. If you know him as well, I would like to speak to him.

[It doesn't sound like a request. The image swings up high to a broad faced man with long blonde hair. A winged helmet. His eyebrows are drawn down across a brow rigid as though it were carved from stone.]

To my friend.

Only just today, long enough to hear people talk.

[inmyothertights]

[ If that's not a bad sign- ]

Right.

Well.

[A pause.]

We all make mistakes?

[He's defending Tony Stark, what the hell.]

Loki's here!

[BILLY.]

[ifhebeworthy]

[Oh, sweet Billy, this Thor is from when Gillen's Kid Loki was still around not being an asshole. He is none-the-wiser to the implications of this.]

Mine brother? I should be glad to see him again.

[inmyothertights]

See it's not all just being disappointed with Tony Stark.

Actually a lot of people are here but they're from parallel universes to ours.

[ifhebeworthy]

Parallel universes? [A beat.] I can say that the strange magics that bring us here are unknown even to me...

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, I don't think anyone knows how it works. America couldn't get through and that's her thing, pretty much.

[ifhebeworthy]

I... am unsure of who that is.

[inmyothertights]

America Chavez?

She's on my team. Back home, not here. Here I don't have a team.

[ifhebeworthy]

I cannot recall her. The span of time and space between us may be greater than is even known to me...

[His strong brow sets low across his bright blue eyes contemplatively, for what magic can be greater than Thor or than those who control time and space?]

I fear there are greater things at work here than you or I, veiled behind that which you and I can see.

[inmyothertights]

Yeah, it's a real pain in the neck.

You're okay though, right? If you need any help, you know I'm here.

[ifhebeworthy]

<span style="font-size: 13pt; font-family:vivaldi;>Thank you, William. I will be far better when I have the answers I seek-- of whence and why we come, and what has become of my friend.</span>

not here, but he's judging you Billy

[mischiefsmith]

[Thanks for narking on him William, thanks A LOT! And you just had to inject his name after the whole we all make mistakes line. Way to soften the blow.

Loki is pacing.

Loki is pacing furiously.]

not here but ur welcome
