Loki [now! in the right entry!]

[not_a_troll]

March 28th - Midnight

[It is a good thing that Loki is not quite able to sleep for longer periods of time than those 3 or 4 hours because otherwise he would've slept through that alarm. But right now he's hurrying through alleys, doing his best to avoid bullets and thinking of quick ideas how to turn this in his favor.

The sudden chaos doesn't unsettle him a bit, it is actually quite a relief to be able to focus his thoughts again on something else than questions regarding friendships, Leah missing and studying the pages he kind of removed out of Helios' magicbooks (he promises he'll put them back, really).

Loki is not one for fighting head on, after all, his magical abilities are limited and he does way better with sneaking around and fire a well-aimed arrow (even though he's not Hawkeye or anything).

You might run into Loki while he's snooping around, finding a good spot to fire arrows at enemies, or maybe he needs you to set up a small trap. Or he'll amuse you with witty banter.]

March 29th - all day

[Loki can be found trying to activate one of the land vehicles because he's not good with guns, though, he is good at running enemies over and reckless driving. Assistance is always welcome.]

March 30th - Partially locked to wildbluevagner

Locked
[Now arrows do not work against robotic creatures, at least not that good. Loki has tried to jump unto them and just tear wire out of some hole he can find but that only ended up in a rather painful bruise on his left thigh and a running-for-his-life-situation.

At some point he bumps into Kurt at a quiet point, only surrounded by empty buildings and rubble. He manages to smile briefly.]

Even though I look forward to listening to more interesting stories regarding you and a variety of young, beautiful maidens, I am afraid I have to decline. After all, there is no beautiful maiden in sight.

[Loki picks an arrow out of the pouch he is carrying on his back and readies his bow, taking a couple of steps backward. And even before he wants to mention something about enemies approaching the world starts to change around him and nothing really...seems to matter anymore.]

Open
[After being the victim of a particular nasty dream shift Loki is back on his feet again. At least, that is how it looks like. He is dealing with quite an amount of anger towards the enemy and that shows when he attacks, using the anger and rage inside of him to the fullest and refusing to let it get to him through other, more damaging ways.

He is a lot more reckless and there's a certain cold, dark look in his eyes from time to time. Of course he is still a mere teen, but he's an Asgardian teen. A teen weighing as much as an adult and who shows to be quite tough. If Loki is able to get into an asskicking-mode, this is it.]

The 1st of April
[The fatigue is showing and Loki helps with liberating the detention centers. That means he'll help picking locks and disabling alarm systems. He'll talk too much as well.]

30th

[wildbluevagner]

[Oh it's Loki. He's a bit of a sight for sore eyes - especially considering that this is the one who is both younger and wearing clothes. Kurt was a bit worn by the days' trials, and his right arm had been taking quite the pummeling. But he still greets Loki with a daredevil smile.]

That's alright! After all, taking care of these guys here will give us lots of interesting stories to tell them, no?

[But there's no answer. He looks over to see Loki caught within a bubble. That reminds him of one of the enemies that was described to him - could it be a Dream Shifter? He's not sure. He tries rushing straight into the bubble to try to teleport Loki out, but... he doesn't quite end up where he's supposed to.]

30th

[not_a_troll]

[Loki blinks a couple of times not entirely sure what is going on, at least...until he starts to recognize his surroundings. The outlines of Asgardia in the distance, Broxton on the left.

The sun is starting to set and it even starts to smell like home. He's standing right in front of a very familiar cave and he smiles.

Loki's dream does not consist out of an idyllic setting, where people praise him, where he lives in a golden palace or where they changed the name Asgardia to Lokiland. He is content with the few things he actually has.]

Leah?

[When he hears a snarly voice coming out of the cave or, The Hole In The Ground, he turns on his feet, not even taking the time to be suspicious because there's only happiness.]

Leah! I have returned!

[Okay, it is supicious that his memories about the land of Luceti are intact... Even before he can notice Kurt appearing Loki disappears inside the cave. Perhaps he will take the risk to embrace her. Just this once.]

30th

[wildbluevagner]

[Kurt spends a moment taking in his surroundings. It's... like Earth but not any city he recognizes. He gets himself to focus - he has to help Loki. But the little troll is already running off. So Kurt rushes into the cave in pursuit.]

Loki, wait!

28th!

[windandrain]

[Well, she'd sworn to keep tabs on the boy this time, and she meant it. Saori was hardly going to let her bff go off and get himself killed a second time, so she kept tabs on him in the chaos. It wasn't difficult, setting a faint trace of wind to follow him and carry word of his position to her, and so she kept near, within easy distance should he need help.

During a lull in the fighting, after clearing out a large group of enemies, she leaped back into cover to take a breather, and coincidentally (or not) found herself resting next to the littlest Asgardian.]

Hello, bff. Enjoying yourself?

28th!

[not_a_troll]

[Loki keeps fidgeting with his bow when he finally has time to take a breather. It is still midnight but he is good at sneaking around in dark alleys and similar dark places.]

Not in the least. After all, I could have been enjoying something with bacon and peanut butter, instead...I am stuck here.

[He shakes his head.]

Are you?

[windandrain]

I told you that you'd come. No sense complaining, but when you get back I'll take you to the hot springs, and we can have bacon.

[She reaches out and pats his shoulder reassuringly.]

And yes, I am. I'm enjoying myself quite a lot.

28th; Midnight

[theboywiththebook]

[Henry saw Loki go out the moment the alarms hit and he had decided to follow him along. He's got his own bow drawn out but he can barely see anything in front of him. The only reason why he's managed to keep up with Loki is because he can barely make out the green of the boy's outfit in the darkness.]

I should have brought a flashlight.

28th; Midnight

[not_a_troll]

[Loki moves fast, using the shadows for cover, and it takes quite a while until he notices that Henry is following him and when he hears the other's voice behind him he makes a small, startled jump.]

By Odin's sores...

[He straightens his back and reaches out to pull Henry close to him.]

...your talent regarding sneaking up to another is quite an uncanny one.

28th; Midnight

[theboywiththebook]

[There's a sheepish grin there, but he feels Loki reach out so he'll move in closer.]

I guess so. Sorry about that. Are you okay?

30th in the open section!

[folklorist]

[ Helios will be taking on several droids with his lightning attacks combined with water magic as well. He'll be attacking those you who get too close with a glowing green light saber that he specifically picked up prior to the draft. He'll be taking on whatever he can when he finally spots Loki admist the battling. ]

Loki! [ He doesn't sound too worried because they have been practicing his magic quite a bit, but he still will make his way over to offer his assistance to the young Asguardian. ]

30th in the open section!

[not_a_troll]

[Loki shows to be quite good at dodging and the sudden chaos around him keeps him on his toes. He is angry and sometimes it shows. Even though his magic has become better it takes a lot of energy to perform a spell.

He does not notice Helios until he hears his voice. For a moment he stands still and waves.]

Helios!

[It is good to see his tutor up and running again. At least there is that.]

30th in the open section!

[folklorist]

[ Helios is going to be taking on a few droids slicing at their legs with the green light saber in his hand as he makes his way over to his student. A ball of sparking energy lays dormant in his hand and Loki can probably hear the crackling of electricity and lightning as it awaits the next target. ]

Loki. What are you doing here all by yourself? Are you all right? I'm glad I found you when I did, there's no telling how many more droids are going to be on us in the next few minutes or so. Seems like the cultists got a hold of them.

Day 6

[thisismylife]

[The moment Artemis hears about the detention centers, she knows where she'll be heading and she stocks up on arrows and supplies before heading out. All the sectors still have some resistance fighting going on in them, especially around the places they're holding prisoners, but Artemis is fairly talented at remaining unseen when she needs to be.

The group she came in with ran into a mob of cultists, but they were dispatching them with relative ease. Keeping to her place in the shadows, she creeps further in to scout ahead. Maybe with the cultists occupied elsewhere, freeing this center will be an easy task and they can get the prisoners freed before the cultists even realize what's going on...]

Day 6

[not_a_troll]

[Ah! Reinforcements. That is what Loki needs right now, after all and when he spots her he waves briefly, hoping that she'll see it.]

Psst! Psssssst!

[After all, they had to be quiet and sneaky. Otherwise there would be more dead people.]

Re: Day 6

[thisismylife]

[She spots the movement and she's got an arrow trained on the figure before she realizes she's being summoned, not spotted by an enemy. Not to mention whoever it is is making noise and she gives an agitated wave in return to let him know she'd seen him and for god's sake shut up.

She peered around the edge of the crumbled wall she'd paused behind for cover, relieved when it seems none of the guards had been close enough to hear. Waiting for the right moment, she rolls out of cover and darts to where the other person is waiting.]

Are you crazy? [Her voice is a quiet hiss as she drops down beside him.] You're gonna get spotted.

March 30

[complicatedliar]

[Loki is out killing droids, picking off targets that have wandered too far from their main groups or taking them from the rear. He definitely prefers this to the balls out frontal assault style of most Asgardians.

Not a bad way to run across his younger self. Nice to see the boy showing some life, really.]

March 30

[not_a_troll]

[Loki fights his battles like any Loki would do. Mainly starting with sneaking from behind, hopping carefully from droid to droid and make use of the chaos that is the battlefield.

He knows he lacks the power to make a significant difference but he takes the droids down with small spells, well aimed arrows (that mostly are not really as well aimed as he wants them to be) and driven by a significant amount of anger.

Loki thinks it is way better to put his anger to use like this, especially now its not that simple to avoid battle-like situations anymore. He is not entirely aware of his older self's presence, at least not until the droid next to him gets launched into the air.]

By Odin's sores be a...

[Loki silences because if he was correct his older self has not been very responsive to his words when they met earlier.

He works on dismantling the droid until it simply crashes down on the ground. Unfortunately he is not in the position to continue what he has been doing for the last 30 minutes because three droids are a bit too many to pick apart one by one.

He picks an arrow out of the pouch he is carrying on his back and readies his bow. Perhaps he's lucky today...]

March 30 (this okay?)

[complicatedliar]

[Loki leaves his younger self to deal with one droid while he dismantles the other two with efficient brutality, appearing and disappearing, his true location never apparent through clever use of illusions.

He pauses, daggers dangling loosely in his hands, and turns his head to regard his younger self with dispassionate curiosity.]

Should you be out by yourself?

29th

[precipitous]

[ She notices the kid driving the land vehicle up the road. The fact that he's probably too young to drive comes as a second thought. First? She's just jealous. WHY DIDN'T SHE THINK OF THAT, IT SURE BEATS GETTING AROUND ON FOOT.

She runs towards him, trying to wave him down. ] Hey!

29th

[not_a_troll]

[By Odin's empty eyesocket! Loki struggles to find the brakes when he notices a girl running towards him]

Damn, damn, damn!

[Why does this vehicle not possess a honking device either! After some struggling behind the wheel Loki finally, finally, has discovered the brakes. The brakes screech painfully before the vehicle comes to a complete stop.]

Do not do that!

[precipitous]

[ She completely ignores his chastisement, grinning at the vehicle in front of him. ]

This is so cool! Can I catch a ride?

28th

[ps3pirate]

[Despite the alarm tearing her away from her heavy sleep, Patty is now wide awake. She too is dashing through the chaos in the streets, clutching her pistol in one hand as she goes. A shot is fired to the left, a shot is fired to the right... She has no idea where she's going, she just knows she needs to keep running until she finds shelter. A place to rest for a bit.

After firing one last shot down one of the main streets, she hops sideways into an alleyway that she thought was deserted. Much to her surprise, it's not. The lack of enormous wings tells her it's not one of those Third Party cultists- it's one of her own team.]

O-oh! Ahoy there!

28th

[not_a_troll]

[Loki has pressed himself against the wall, listening to gunshots and men shouting and all those sounds that indicate great chaos and battle around him. He holds his bow ready for whatever danger might be waiting for him and when he hears a voice not far from him he tenses up and aims at the owner of said voice.

Ah. Thank a variety of Midgardian deities that he did not shoot that arrow. Loki lowers the bow immediately and grins feintly.]

Hello, hello.

[After that he presses his finger to his lips.]

Lower your voice a bit.

28th

[ps3pirate]

Oh... [She glances around, but the place still seems deserted. From what she could tell, her voice was drowned out by all the chaos going on in the streets. Still, she'll bow her head apologetically.]

Sorry.
