[Loki feels as if he had a really, really long sleep and has been unable to properly wake up. The room he is sitting in feels as if it is his room. Thori is sleeping on his bed. There is a small pile of books in the corner of the room and the notes written about them are definitely his.

But that is odd, he is absolutely sure he has never been here. Not that he doesn’t believe in the existence of multiple Asgards (or multiple Loki’s, for that matter). This is definitely not the Asgard he knows of.

Second of all: he prefers a Starkphone over the bracelet they gave him. Starkphones came with smiley faces and small moving pictures to enhance a message. This bracelet came with...well, none of those. Allow Loki to express his disappointment.]

Such a crafty little device and such a lack of smiley faces. According to the world of online simple :-)’s and :-(‘s do not suffice anymore. And I would like to stay up-to-date in order to be able to claim a reputation of being most hip and up-to-date.

Perhaps a so-called upgrade is necessary. Wait...no, an up-grade is absolutely mandatory.

Imagine the great pout on my face.

[Loki has to think for a second before he sends out the second message. Has he really been here before? Would he know people? Would people know him?]

Dearest strangers, next to my insightful remarks about the bracelet of communication I am aware that this Asgard, Other Asgard, is in peril. Are we fighting the end of times? Ragnarok? Please enlighten me.

PS: Am I familiar to some?

[OOC: Due to canon-review/update Loki got reset, he has no memories of being here anymore and about the things that happened.]

Aye. I have never really spoken to one either. I wish they would inform us about their plans. You cannot take powers away and give back other powers. For me well...er...to be fair, I am not a master wizard or great with magicks. For me it is only a great advantage.

But there are others who possess great powers. Great destructive powers, even. Powerful magicks, supernatural abilities. It would be worth so much more.

It could also be that the gods try to contain them. To limit the powers, afraid that we might turn against them.

[Loki is musing now, a finger tapping against his chin and a serious frown on his face.]

We might have to request them to change the rules of the game. In order to prevent Ragnarok, great powers are needed.

Don’t you think?

[Regarding Leah...well, there isn’t much Loki could do.]

I could not prevent it from happening.

I spoke to Freya, but she did not have too many answers... Or well, I guess she has them, but doesn't want to share... And well, same for me, about the powers...

[Gaia nods.] That sounds likely... The gods being afraid of anyone being too powerful... But they can't keep us here forever, can they?

I think you're right... But I wonder what the gods will say to that...

[She smiles a bit.] I think none of us could have...

The gods will probably deny us our powers. Perhaps there needs to be a system. Really bad, bad guys do not get powers. Really good, good guys do get their powers. We do not wish this Asgard to end up in ruins like a variety of other Asgard’s, right?

[Loki has a plan...]

Yeah, that'd be a good system, except for one thing... What about the people who don't have any powers? Why would they even be here?

Like me? Well, besides the powers the gods have bestowed upon them they need to have access to weapons.

[Loki doesn’t really understand war and battle at all. When he finds himself in the middle of such a situation he mostly runs like the wind, not really wanting to participate in such a matter. But this Asgard isn’t giving him much choice.]

I am able to handle weapons. Er...yeah, I think I can.

[He is able to shoot arrows and that is it..., actually.]

Perhaps they are here because they could be of help. After all, they gave the powerless powers. It benefits them.

Well, I guess that sort of makes sense... Still, it would be safer if the non-powered people got to stay home... Unless they know something of war or fighting.

[Gaia has absolutely no idea... She's never really been in one...]

I'm only now learning how to fight... Loras taught me a bit of hand-to-hand combat.

[In all honesty, all she can do is punch, scratch, bite and pull hair.]

But not until they learn how to use them.

Aye! Strategists are needed as well. A game plan before playing a game, you see? Well, this is not a game but I am most sure you catch my drift. I am being very obvious here after all.

Well, as a goddess I am correct to presume you have some divine powers under you sleeve, yes? Ones that go beyond apples and apple-businesses?

Are you practicing them? Besides hand-to-hand combat that is.

Yes, of course. I wonder how many of them are here anyway.

[She smiles a bit sadly.] I haven't been a goddess long enough to figure it out. [Unless you count her power to be irresistible to Bragi, her godly spouse.]

Yep, I have Energy Transfer.
