--there we are!

[There's a blur of close-up whiteness as the Doctor pulls back from setting his bracelet down on a surface a little distance in front of him. He's not wearing his coat right now, just a colorful waistcoat and plain white shirt. And he's got a kitten in his lap. It's grey, small, and very fuzzy, with the unfinished look of a very young kitten.]

Is anyone missing a kitten? I found this little fellow in my coat pocket, but he's a bit too small to be running around a city on his own. I've no idea where he might have come from.

[He gently rubs the little kitten under its chin, murmuring at it too quietly for the bracelet to catch.]

If he doesn't belong to anyone, I'll have to ask if someone could take him. I do like cats, but I'd really rather not have one for a pet.

[This time, the bracelet will flicker on regardless of what you're doing. It's an important announcement, though Loki's sitting cross-legged on the top of his desk as if it's nothing big.]

Hey, kids. You might want to sit down, 'cause today we've got major news for you.

We're going to have Story Time With Uncle Loki, how great! Pay close attention, because this is your chance to make a big decision. You've been insisting on having input for a long time now, so we're giving you a chance. Try not to fuck it up.

( cut for length: MAJOR PLOT INFO IN HERE GUYS )

[He loosens his shoulders after that, suddenly all casual smiles.]

So. Will you save him, destroy her, or do nothing? This time it's up to you.

[ This was far too abnormal for Sakura to understand. She's been wandering about for the past few days, trying to get a grasp on the situation. Just when things were looking up, something like this happened. Bring color to a world? How could she when her own was bleaker than Asgard, and the only person who painted it is nowhere to be found? Not to mention that the critters inside her had stopped wiggling around and consuming her energy, which was something that Sakura could never imagine happening. ]

[ Her dazed expression quickly turns timid once she attempts to speak. Although, it was more apprehensive than shy. ]

I'm very... confused. W-Would it be too much trouble for someone to explain [ A pause. ] everything?

[ The voice that snaps over the bracelet is sharp but bored. ]

Required: a number of test subjects for this ridiculous, useless power that I've been assigned. Willing subjects preferable, though this is not set in stone.

Compensation will be provided.




[ .. eventually. ]

Good morning!

[ There is quite a bit of pause in line breaks. ]

...Well?
