[ Normally when Kieran makes posts to the network, he tries to seem at least a little friendly. Not today. The video opens on a glaring stormcloud of a man -- he looks pale, sleep deprived, and ready to kill something. ]

She's in the fucking bracelets.

[ Yeah, the things they wear that directly tie their souls to the gods? Those bracelets. Kieran's glare shifts slightly, as if it's directed at the jewelry on his wrist rather than the feed itself. Then he abruptly looks to the side and says something in another language -- anyone who knows him well enough will recognize that he's talking to Ash, others are free to think he's just nuts and speaking gibberish to no one.

It roughly translates to 'they should be scared, the fucking bitch is eating us.' But he looks marginally less homicidal when he turns to the video again. ]

It's not a curse on us, she's in us, using the connection to twist our souls. We proved it. If you take 'em off, it stops.

Where are you, Loki?



(( ooc: this is happening evening of 330! Kieran, Ash and Rider have been completely incommunicado for about two and a half days. ))

[Loki is somewhere between sleeping and awake but he does notice the call of his name.]

Easy...easy now...

[He holds up both hands in a defensive way.]

...I am here...and the city is burning.

What--

[ Kieran notices the name on the feed before he finishes his question. ]

Not you, kid. And no it ain't.

[not_a_troll]

Aye. Please do not lie to yourself. When you gaze through the windows you can gander upon the flames. And death and destruction.

[He blinks, barely staying awake.]

You mean other Loki? There are oodles of Loki's. But please, if you have a question, ask me. I am most knowledgeable about Ragnarok and the end of time.

straight to DVD commentary

[ Loki slams down onto the nearest available surface, his calculations for the teleport off or maybe he's just too tired to give a damn. If he looked gaunt and sick in his last post following the first attack, now he looks positively wretched with his hair falling into his face and dark, ugly bruises beneath wild eyes. His breathing comes harsh and he's struggling to sit upright, but he still manages to point a finger at Kieran's bracelet. ]

Fuck that guy. I'm right here.

[ The real Slim Shady is decidedly not standing up. ]

[felttheburn]

Are you knowledgeable about the evil bitch eating our souls? Get someone to tie you down and go take a nap.

[not_a_troll]

No Ragnarok. Unless it is a bitch. It could be a bitch. But I do not think Ragnarok is female.

[Loki finally managed to calm himself down a bit.]

I saw a man with a melting sword. He is sad.

[felttheburn]

[ Kieran promptly turns his bracelet off (fuck that guy, indeed) and gives Loki his full attention.

As if he needed more proof...

He nods to himself and steps forward to pick Loki up and set him on the bed that's still in their living room, for during the experiment. ]

Why didn't you tell them?

[asgardstricks]

[ He follows Kieran's lead with a huff, frustrated and too weak to do anything about it. ]

We didn't know. I figured it was just a relapse, from the shit she pulled last time. Patching up magic holes isn't exactly easy.

[ Part of why it's affecting him at all, let alone so strongly. His wounds weren't healed when she started rubbing salt in them. ]

Re: [video]

[felttheburn]

[ This is seriously pushing the limit of Kieran's tolerance right now. Sometimes there's truth in mad ramblings, though, so he tries to play along until the Loki he's looking for answers. ]

Why's that?

[video]

[not_a_troll]

He killed people. I would be sad as well if I would kill people.

[Loki blinks.]

Perhaps I should try to fall asleep. But when I sleep the dreams comes. This is everything but a win-win situation, you see?

[ The bed is better than the floor, even if Kieran isn't overly gentle with him. ]

Oh, I know. We've done it.

[ It's really getting to him, now that he knows he was right, how similar it all is. He's played this game before. He won before, but that was his world, his gods, his terms. He can't do shit here, and he's angry. Angry Loki didn't fucking know something was eating him, angry Odin put all of it on them when the gods are the ones who left the door open.

He's so weak, you could just kill him right now.

...no. Control. ]

Tell me what it feels like. Do you hear her too?

Re: [video]

[felttheburn]

[ Okay, kid, do you have a babysitter? You need a babysitter right now. ]

Which is worse?

Good question and a tough choice. If I dream...I might not wake up. I might walk.

But when I stay awake I am unable to sleep.

By Odin's sores, what a conundrum.

[felttheburn]

seems like unless she already ate some people

Like I said, then, get someone to tie you down.

I have not trained Thori for such a task. He is a good dog. The best dog, even. But he is melting.

[bulletwithmyname]

[ash is there with a hand on his shoulder as soon as he's flopped loki onto the bed, squeezing, a flood of soothing thoughts. do not kill the god, love, we need him to fix this.]
