[falsehoods]

[The video is...poor...to say the least. There is clearly a man, oddly dressed and wearing horns. His eyes are blazing green with anger and he is covered in dust and ash. He doesn't seem used to handling something like the communicator and he's not helped by the occasional burst of static.]

Who, precisely, are these people that dare steal me away from my chambers!? Should I get my hands on the one responsible, I shall strangle.

My people are in dire need of me at this moment and I will not tolerate being herded about like cattle while some nebulous foe strikes me with fire from the sky.

[He hooks a finger at the screen, tipped with a well manicured black nail]

Step you forth, you have called upon a god from the frozen north and he has answered. Pray your answer is to my liking or consider your life forfeit…

Do tell that to ---- above. They seem to think that we are here because --- want to be here.

[He manages to piece that together]

A woeful misunderstanding. Why should I care for a place that has ---- without my permission?

[ The static is highly annoying, but he is trying to find a better position to speak. ]

I do --- know. However, ---- us only makes me wish for their deaths -----.

[ Wow, she recognizes that voice. ]

Loki!

[ Wait, hold up. ]

What's happening at Asgard?

[video]

[falsehoods]

I wish to know the same!

You- [ Probably not the time to be picking fights with pissed off gods. She takes a steadying breath. ]

Be calm. You have been brought here by a group called the Initiative. This place is currently under attack by the United Earth.

[Loki is looking...himself, which is a change from the last time they saw each other. It takes her a moment to decide whether to make contact, but she has been on the network, and Loki will eventually get over his flash of temper and start reviewing the logs. Better if she comes forward on her own terms.

Rather than admit to knowing a crazy demigod over a public network, Emma reaches out to his mind with the telepathic equivalent of a polite knock at the door.]

Loki?

[There is a flutter through Loki's mind; something akin to laughter]

Frost. A familiar presence at long last. Say more, it gladdens me.

Flattery will get you precisely as far as I want it to, darling.

[As dangerous as Loki is, he's never boring, so she almost welcomes the conversation, a ripple of amusement similar to Loki's animating her words.]

[Priorities are priorities. With the city being bombed, Chloe's sass-o-meter is running lower than usual, but this....? Well, this is the kind of opportunity she'd never forgive herself for missing.]

Nice performance. A little over the top, but I've heard that's a good thing.

I am not performing, you wretched creature.

I-*static*--whoever is in charge.

Who is in charge here?

[Yes, the extradimensional alien is asking you to take him to your leader]

[doubleoohbaby]

They're bombs. A little more harmful than fire and rather more noisy.

[falsehoods]

I was not being so literal.

Starting off with hostilities will get you nowhere. Even if they have wronged us with their method of recruitment, it does not show well to take such a stance once here.

Video

[falsehoods]

I will not kneel before such as these. I will kneel before no one.

[charming_jerk]

Finally! Someone who actually sounds legitimately pissed off about bein' here too.

[Video]

[falsehoods]

I fail to see how anyone could find this situation at all favorable.

[gratefuldead]

A god, forced to fight a war against his will? Well ain't that a fuckin' turn around.

[well, someone sounds just pleased as punch. ]

[Voice]

[falsehoods]

Are you often drafted by the gods, then?

[sacrificar]

They will expect you to fight for them.

[falsehoods]

What happens to those who refuse?

[bittertears]

A god from the frozen north?

video;

[falsehoods]

Aye.

[kingdom_of_song]

Sure, what god are you, then?

[HE DOES NOT BELIEVE YOU wait, Loki sounds terribly cranky. Likely some sort of god-like creature.]

[falsehoods]

The Immortal Trickster, Scarlip, the Sly God...

I am called Loki.
