A short list without an App to list it (Audio & Text)

[badnewsboy]

[the feed clicks to audio, and suddenly there's a very loud enthusiastic greeting.]

Hellooooo Exsilium!

Nailed it.

[the greeting ends as soon as its last syllable of "um" drops, and the post switches to text.]

Great! Everyone heard that, right? Now that the whole pleasantries thing is out of the way (as well as our B-Movie undead run-for-your-life quasi-fiasco), there are some suggestions that I must present to make us all the more comfortable. Please kindly lend your ears and open your hearts! The Initiative is welcome to take such suggestions, so I hope you've your ears open. I've condensed these to a brief number! Onward!

(1) A party every Saturday featuring the round Italian pastry covered in a copious variety of cured meats. I also propose that we're offered a number of stylish festive hats for the occasion. Top hats are in season, and nothing is complete without some kind of festive hat to show our enthusiasm.

(2) While I hardly mean to offend the technology offered to us by our captors, we're left regrettably with a single App that does a single boring thing and absolutely no games! I would settle for Birds of the Angry Emotional Feelings, or perhaps the Saga of Crushed Candy! Anything mind-numbing to pass the time. Even some Exsilium produced space-cat forum!

As a side note, anything of interest and practical use may also be warranted for App exploration. Perhaps something for these "missions" I've heard so much about. Or lists. Yes, lots and lots of Apps for lists. Perhaps a App of lists that lists all the App lists.

(3) Also include the Internet On-Line World in the suggestion above.

(4) I suspect it vital that we all learn how to walk on the moon. We're in luck! I've heard of what's appropriately dubbed "the moon walk." It's a series of difficult steps in Midgardian dance that cause the illusion that you're walking forward, yet you're walking back! Quite helpful in the scheme of things while we take residence.

This is a very small list for those of us who have been captured from our homes and drafted into an unknown future-war that none of us even had suspect of happening! All in favor of boosting morale.

Oh, yes.

I see that some of you are quite aware of the handle of "Loki." If you could give me any such knowledge of your experiences with this fellow I would be eternally grateful. Eternally grateful ... IN SPACE!

Is that what these things are called? StarkPhones?

[badnewsboy]

The StarkPhone is mine! I brought it from home. I've no idea what the flat foldy ones are called. Perhaps StarkPads with the added ability to fold at your convenience.

[ oh my god he's kind of ... adorable??? tony is confused ]

i'll go in order

1. not sure every saturday is viable, but i'm down for the pizza idea at least. and some hats. not all hats.

2. i can hook you up with some apps - not those specifically, although there's a couple games floating around. what else are you looking for?

3. there's actually a reason this can't work, but you can sort of simulate it if you do it properly. i.e.: thing

4. good luck with that one, pal

where are you?

text.

[badnewsboy]

(1) Some of the hats may also be acceptable as long we all agree on the fashion statement to be made.

(2) Great! Hook me up! I would like to be hooked up! All the games! Growing minds must have means of entertaining themselves.

(3) I'll be sure to fill out a "dating profile."

(4) Boo.

Where am I? On the moon, of course.

I would hope so as well. Morale seems to be awfully low at times.

Though any Loki-based information would be awesome. I want to know of them. I take you've had your own experience.

[she can't help but wonder how he has so much energy, or how that comes across in text form]

1. What sort of pastry is this, and does it come in meat-free incarnations?

2. I have no clue what this "app" you speak of is.

3. Or this.

4. How would a dance assist with walking on the moon?

text

[badnewsboy]

(1) Aye, I believe you may garnish it with a variety of olives, broccoli and other gross things, if you so wish. So many vegetables! Everyone's pleased.

(2) That's no good, they're loads of fun.

(3) The Internet is a place to exchange ideas! There are forums of cats, the magic of memes, and directions on anything you'd like to find to do! Though most of it remains a bit of an explicit mystery. I'd rather not go there.

(4) The dance was fashioned as so. It may be of some help if we learn it!

[irritating]

i think i wanna say yes to everything but first what is an italian meat pastry, app, internet, midgardian moon dance and loki

[badnewsboy]

Your hearty shout of AYE is all that's needed! I assure you all meet the standards for proper entertainment.

Except for the last one. If you've no thought on it, pay it no mind! Gone into the roots of the World Tree! Shoo, thought, shoo!

Text

[small_berserker]

I don't know what any of those things are, but I think parties are a good idea for keeping everyone's spirits up when we're not fighting.

Text

[badnewsboy]

We've the same kind of idea! Perhaps we could even expand upon this thought and produce a wide-variety of themed parties inwhich everyone can enjoy!

TEXT

[tilallisoverused]

no, because I really hate hats. the only people who are that excited about lists of lists are people like Ultra Magnus, too much organization. and seriously? you can just walk on it like anything else.

TEXT

[badnewsboy]

[if he knew he was typing to a cool robot right now THAT WOULD BE SO COOL.]

I've a few questions for you.

What have you against hats?

Who in the Nine Realms is Ultra Magnus?

Don't you want to look cool IN SPACE?

voice;

[awarlock]

Are any of these actually necessary?

voice;

[badnewsboy]

You don't very much like fun, do you?

Text;

[notadamnvampire]

1. You mean "pizza". Just say pizza. And do you really think there's time and supplies for weekly pizza parties?

2. There's a large library of books available to read.

3.I'm not sure what that is.

4. I don't even know how to dignify this with an answer.

As far as the last question, Loki is a figure in Norse mythology.

Text;

[badnewsboy]

(1) That's very indescriptive. And when it comes to my naysayers, I say a team effort is the best kind of effort, especially when it comes sharing the warmth of the spirit.

(2) Books are quite full of knowledge, but not exactly on the terms that I'm looking for. Er, my thanks for the suggestion.

(3) A bit unsurprising.

(4) I see you're also not very much fun. Boring IN SPACE.

[unmasking]

I'm going to skip your bulletpoints and jump to the really important stuff.

1. These things don't even have Sudoku and that's a travesty. What am I supposed to do in the morning over breakfast?

2. What do you want to know about Loki?

text.

[badnewsboy]

Mister Tony says that he some amusements. Perhaps we can commission him for some proper games. Ones that may involve less Midgardian arithmetic.

Anything that anyone knows. I'm keeping my options open!

text

[ready_to_bloom]

1) I do not know these pastries with meat, but they sound delicious. Parties can be quite fun, but are hats available to all?

I will skip your second and third points, as I don't know what you're talking about.

4) Will a dance really allow us to walk on the moon? I thought that was impossible.

I knew a wolf once named Loki, but that was not in this world.

text

[badnewsboy]

(1) You've had nothing like it, really. Not until you taste of its meatiness.

Unobjectionable!

(4) All my research points to yes!

What kind of world was it?

[biwinning]

ii've made 2ome game2.
but ii'd need two convert them two work on your "2tarkphone."
for a priice.

[badnewsboy]

It means you have terms, don't you? Got it. State your price. We can conduct an exciting banter resulting our final decisions on this network.

[doubleoohbaby]

This all sounds entirely rational and logical.

Especially the moonwalking.

[badnewsboy]

I'm known for it. The rationale and logic, not for walking on the moon.

If I were, I would be executing that right about ... now.

[lazyinlove]

pizza

[badnewsboy]

I'll take that as a hearty YES. :)

Text

[pride_of_amarcia]

Don't recognize the name Loki, but...

... Actually, idea 2 is a good idea. Though figuring out how to get the time to work it could be tricky.

Text

[badnewsboy]

But nothing tricky enough for a trickster such as me. There's always that undisputed way, eh? It's just finding it.

text

[needsteaplz]

[Oh gods there's more Lokis? And yet this one seems tolerable to some degree. Saori's now wondering if becoming a mother has made even more softer towards children than before.]

2.They could've at least given us Tetris. I could spend hours playing that.

4.I got 3 experiences when it comes to Loki. The first from studying folklore and mythology. Standard stuff and still debated among scholars to this day. The second would be my own encounters with my world's Loki. He was a jerk to me specifically to say the least. Then finally there was the version here a while ago who caused trouble and a full-on instigator.

text

[badnewsboy]

[the first part he sort of glosses over.]

So there's several world's Lokis.

You say there was one where?

[Here, have a depressing suit of armor. His voice--obscured by illusionary magic of its own.]

You're rather excited, lad. While your suggestions would pose a possibility of adding relief rather than conflict, I doubt they'll be undertaken.

Video;

[badnewsboy]

[hey, have a big with big green eyes peering at you.]

It was worth the consideration. Perhaps with a bit more determination, we can make it happen.

text

[lexiconning]

That's a lot of questions.
Why are you asking about 'loki' is that a common name or something?

text

[badnewsboy]

Among myths, perhaps. I would like to know of it. I take it there are no bells of familiarity going off in your mind?

[voice; dick grayson]

[pixieboots]

You think the network is boring? [ someone still dates back to the mid-90s. ]

What the heck is an app and why do we need a whole list of them?

[voice; looooooooki]

[badnewsboy]

It's not entirely littered with cats in seasonally appropriate knits to be called anything but dull.

[sounding like he's talking to himself.]

That may be a future option ...

[with renewed vigor.]

Apps are great! They help with everything! Lists, lists and more lists! Games of the most creative variety! Still image catalogs taken with your own camera! There's even filters you can add to make it edgier! Of course, Apps for Midgardian news circuit, for keeping track of your coin, practicing fiendish laughter, "jazzercize" ...
