[Loki is slouched against a rock, with a bright cloth in his lap. He seems to be getting the hang of the communicator, because at least this time it looks like the video feed is on purpose.]

When last I spoke on this device, it was in great anger. So blinded was I by my rage that I could neither see nor think clearly.

And for this I....

[There is a long pause.]

...apologize...

I was stolen from my home while my people were on the brink of a great disaster. I could not bear being taken here against my will.

But my quarrel lies not with any of you, and 'twas wrong for me to lash out as I did.

Still, I think it is best I took my leave of the Hold. I do not belong there.

[He reaches up and touches his shoulder, as if nursing a wound. It's a calculated movement on his part.]

If I only I could...ah...

[He looks up, green eyes sliding across the sky as an expression of genuine fear and bewilderment clouds his features and he clutches the cloth against his breast like a security blanket]

Ah...oh.

Uh oh....

[Adam's frowning slightly, looking at Loki, confused about just what he's actually scared of.]

Are you alright?

[falsehoods]

I sense something in the wind...

Like an oncoming storm...

video

[fourcenturies]

Any more specifics?

video

[falsehoods]

Nay.

I know only that a deep sense of foreboding has gripped my heart.

video

[fourcenturies]

How ominous.

video

[falsehoods]

I think this storm has a name...

video

[fourcenturies]

Like a hurricane? Or something more personal?

[peaceinchaos]

[ Anything that freaks Loki out is reason for pause, but she's not sure if she trusts it. ]

You seem troubled, Loki.

[studieswaitressing]

[...that Shamwow...

Okay no really Loki is concerned, which probably means she should pay attention maybe?]

What's up?

video

[falsehoods]

One a touch more personal if I am any judge...

[video]

[falsehoods]

Astute.

Video;

[falsehoods]

I fear something terrible is about to happen.

[video]

[peaceinchaos]

I take it it doesn't have anything in particular to do with our recent visitors.

[boughtabookstore]

Uh oh?

[video]

[falsehoods]

Visitors?

[The plural here alarms him]

[falsehoods]

Is there an echo?

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

...you mean something worse than the whole 'bombs and then time-travel and then crazy monster infestation' thing?

Video;

[falsehoods]

Aye.

Far worse.

....But I think this great harm will befall Loki only. I cannot say if a similarly ill fate shall come to the rest of you.

[video]

[peaceinchaos]

The large monsters who've been roaming around. Is there something new that's popped up?

[ Keeping her own alarm on the down-low.]

[video]

[falsehoods]

Ah, the beasts.

Nay, I do not think my sense of dread has aught to do with they. Thus far on my pilgrimage they have let me be. More exposed and tempting prey elsewhere, I suppose.

[video]

[peaceinchaos]

Perhaps they see you as a like kind.

[ That comes out a bit catty. Someone may have run into a little trouble with the beasts... ]

And what could you be dreading, Loki?

Video;

[studieswaitressing]

...well, if you get any insight into that, let the rest of us know?

I mean, it could just be a feeling, right?

[video]

[falsehoods]

Perhaps they do!

[A calculated pause]

I feel a dread creep over me and I fear 'tis one with a name. What it is or what it wants I cannot-or perhaps will not-say.

I doubt that it is worse than the beasts are for the rest of you...Ah, poor mortals. Were it within my power to twist the fabrics of this very world and slay all of these wretched creatures I would do so.

Video;

[falsehoods]

I shall, of course.

I would not leave the rest of the Stolen to suffer from a threat that I could have given warning of.

[Except that he totally would.]

[boughtabookstore]

No. I am, however, looking for more of an explanation for that particular statement of yours. Is something wrong?
