[Loki's certainly not impressed with his new accommodations, not one bit. He knew that he was about to fall, something just told him that he wasn't going to hold on, that he wouldn't get the answer from Odin that he so desperately needed to hear. So falling through the realms wasn't really unexpected in the end. But what he didn't expect was to survive at all. Much less survive, and end up here. But if he's stuck, for now, he might as well try to gather a bit of information. Ignorance is rarely bliss, in the end.]

This place certainly has it's questionable charm. Questionable being the keyword. I suppose this is when I humbly beg my fellow captives for information? I'll try to make it worth your while, in the future.

It's not even questionable. It's just horrible. Don't let the blood and creepy ghost girl tell you otherwise.

[He might as well switch to voice mode, it's more like a real conversation to him that way.]

Oh, I have a lot to look forward to, don't I? [His voice is all but dripping with sarcasm.]

[gatherstoys]

206.

[Voice]

[wineandwomen]

[Might as well.]

Oh yes and side note. Don't try to cross the river unless you look like a normal human and know Russian.

[Voice]

[a_box_of_cats]

I'll have to keep that in mind. Russian isn't a problem, and I think I can fit in nicely enough.

River crossing though, not quite my idea of a nice afternoon.

[a_box_of_cats]

Oh, is that all?

[Voice]

[wineandwomen]

If you get caught it's straight to the anti-magic prison they have over there and it's hard for me to get people out of there. Very hard.

[Voice]

[a_box_of_cats]

Is that so? Well, then I'll just have to be very careful if I try to go about that kind of little outing.

[gatherstoys]

Where toy stay.

Re: [Voice]

[wineandwomen]

It is so. I'm also tired of bailing people's sorry asses out of jail so if you play nice I'll bring you extra supplies because that's much easier to get than you know... No jail time.

[A rich-looking woman appears on screen, smiling a bit.]

Worth my while, huh? Well, let's see what we can do for you, then...

You've stumbled into some hellish place in Russia. The availability of food, water, and supplies vary depending on who you cozy up to, and the city next door will try to kill you if they catch you over there. I think I hit all the important parts~

[pencilpremonition]

Sure, whatever I can do to help. Why don't I meet you somewhere? It's easier to talk than on this thing.

[Voice]

[a_box_of_cats]

Well, you do drive a hard bargain. I think I might be able to behave myself, since you've offered such a nice alternative.

[a_box_of_cats]

I didn't ask that. I simply asked if it was all.

[Voice]

[wineandwomen]

Stuff is much better than jail. It's not a bad deal.

[Loki changes over to video then, trying to at least pretend to be sociable, to some degree. It's best to play nicely with these mortals, for now. Until he figures out which of them will be of use.]

I have some beneficial skills, in the end. And I have no shame in using them, to help those who help me. [A small smile.]

So basically, it's all dependent on what I make of it, and who I know. Fascinating. Midgard at it's best, I'm sure.

[video]

[a_box_of_cats]

[Oh, a sociable one. He's interested already.]

How kind of you. Where shall we meet?

[Voice]

[a_box_of_cats]

No, I suppose I should be grateful.

[video]

[pencilpremonition]

Have you found the apartment building yet?

[Voice]

[wineandwomen]

Your name... So that I might know which room to deliver supplies to this weekend by the way?

[Voice]

[a_box_of_cats]

My name is Loki. And might I ask yours as well?

[video]

[a_box_of_cats]

I have indeed. Is that an easy enough location for you? It's terribly convenient.

[She smiles in response, relieved to find someone who seems to understand the meaning of the word "fair".] Oh, really? What a resourceful man.

More or less, yes. It seems to pay especially to suck up to the general.

Midgard?

Re: [Voice]

[wineandwomen]

Demi-god of Mischief Loki or just... Named that by your family so teasing could happen for your childhood?

[There's the sound of a lighter on his end before he speaks again.]

General Cross Marian.

[video]

[pencilpremonition]

Yeah. I'll come and meet you by the entrance.
