{{001. Disappointments

[livinglavidaloki]

[Well, this wasn't supposed to be where he ended up. Not to say he was upset by it. Mildly confused and disappointed, maybe. Since his very recent arrival he'd already managed to free himself, disguise himself as a human, and discover his journal. By now he's been watching you for a short time, residents of Paradisa. Though at this point watching consisted of no more than flipping through mortal prattle in the journal and gaining an assessment of the most recent events. People missing, mirrored nonsense, nothing apparently relevant here as none of it seemed to answer what questions he had. Though he has been questioning the strange content filling itself out on a certain page around this time.

In fact, the journal seemed rather chaotic about now. Probably best to hold onto it for later. Instead Loki settled for making the most of his newfound freedom and looking around what appeared to be the interiors of... Well, what was this place?]


[[OOC:: Wow, how do cuts. Anyway. Cut due to spoilers? xux Ahh. I'm nervous.]]

Action

[compromisedarrow]

[And Clint is walking back into the lobby. He was burning up some frustration on the shooting range when...

No... Is that...?

Barton ducks behind a sofa, out of sight of the staircase Loki was coming down. He opens his flight case, removing his bow and an arrow from his quiver before peeking around to confirm his suspicions.]

Action

[livinglavidaloki]

[You didn't think he wouldn't notice, would you? Mm. Perhaps he didn't. If he did notice, he's pretending not to. Loki continued his way down the stairs, apparently set on making his way around.]

action

[cheerupemoborg]

[The last week had, quite simply, sucked for Hank. His most recent loss had probably been the most humiliating thing he'd ever had to endure.

Stomping through the hallways to God knows where - maybe he'd check out that Danger Room thing - he doesn't stop to acknowledge Loki's existence.]

Action

[livinglavidaloki]

[But Loki notices him, of course. The man... Or whatever he was, was difficult to miss by any means. His eyes follow him briefly, as if trying to determine something, but he shook his head when he decided that he didn't very much care.] You. Mechanic creature.

[i_got_this]

[Have a space marine in full armor. She's got her helmet tucked under her arm and just generally looks pissed. She spares a glare at Loki.]

Action

[livinglavidaloki]

[Well, have an unfazed Loki in return. No, he's not even curious about your unusual looking armor, lady. The most he'll give her is a bored look, not deemed worth his time unless she has useful information for him. And she looked more prepared for battle than giving out information. He'd keep this in mind for later, though.]

[doublethefun]

[and here's a blue pony who's closer to the size of a horse than a pony. There's a distracted air about her as several books trail after her like ducklings. Magical ducklings shaped like books. Probably.]

Action

[livinglavidaloki]

[A... Horse? What did a horse have use for books? Actually, he's a little confused after all, as he had never come into contact with such a creature before. He doesn't get in her way, but rather steps aside as she goes by and plucks one of said books from the little duckling trail behind her.]

[rogueofheart]

[Curiosity gets the better of Nepeta once again as she spots him during his walk around the castle. It almost looks like he's looking for something. She'll become his little shadow and walk behind him, looking in all the places he's looking, too.]

Action

[livinglavidaloki]

[It... Actually takes him a few moments to realize he's being tailed at first. He comes to an abrupt stop in his exploration when he makes this discovery and turns to the girl with a mix of irritation and interest. Or was she supposed to be a cat?] What do you think you're doing, small creature?

[cricketycricket]

[Five's making his way back to his room from the library, when he sees the stranger, and smiles, giving him a cheerful wave]

Afternoon.

[livinglavidaloki]

[Was this supposed to be a normal greeting? He hesitates before giving an uncertain mirror of the gesture.] Afternoon.

[action] I'm nervous too!

[not_like_the_rest]

[Johanna is just walking around too. She's relaxed looking, despite having the look of someone who was been in the wood for days on end with not a ton of good luck. She just nods at him when she passes.]

Action (i want to say i'm not responsible for loki's behavior/ignoring but i really am sorry.)

[livinglavidaloki]

[Loki doesn't even bother to return the nod, or notice her appearance. He continues as he was, eyes searching as he memorized what he could as he passed through the castle. She looks as human as it gets, and thus not really worth his time.]

Action

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine is on the roof. It's a long way up, but the main stairs lead right to the it. The roof has always been a nice place to avoid people and collect one's thoughts, and boy, does she need it right now. The young wizard flips through the journal occasionally, but mostly stares out into the distance, a pensive yet pained look on her face.

Funny how when she's missing Bucky, she goes to the one place where she could always find him.]

Action

[livinglavidaloki]

[It takes him a while before he finally makes his way up to the roof. Whether or not he had an actual sense of direction was questionable, but he'd made it there nonetheless. There was an odd sense of relief finally reaching an area that wasn't inside or the castle's suffocating version of grandeur. He pays little to no mind to the girl, instead taking in the view around the castle. This is his first outside look-- not a good one for at the castle itself, but maybe for the surrounding grounds.]

[fistfullofmagic]

[To say Dhaos' week sucked would be a massive understatement. He looks the part too, clothes torn and dirty, hair in disarray, some slightly faded bruising... He just wanted to find a decent place to fall asleep. It's probably kinda noticible when a guy who's got a few inches on Thor casts some healing magic to get rid of the rest of the bruising.]

[livinglavidaloki]

[He doesn't really mark the individual of any particular note as he goes to walk past him at first. He does glance over when he realizes his wounds healing at an unusual rate for a human, and the use of magic. He arches a brow, but manages to otherwise appear unfazed.]

[traken_master]

[The Master is just returning to the castle. He's been exercising his altaria pokemon, Ararauna, in the courtyard. The Master sees the stranger and gives a polite nod, noting the clothing.]

Action

[livinglavidaloki]

[He gives a nod in return. He's getting the hang of things by now-- comfortable, perhaps would be a better word, and--

...

His eyes lingered on the strange animal at the man's side for a moment. It was nothing like anything he'd come across before. What... Was it supposed to be, exactly? He paused.] ... What kind of creature is that? Is it native to this world?

[noblefive]

['sup Loki, 7'8" armoured space marine wandering around. Encased entirely in armour. He doesn't look like one you should mess with. Either way, he's slowly walking down the corridor towards the library.]

[livinglavidaloki]

[Well, hey there Mr. Tall Robotic and Intimidating. Unfortunately he's seen bigger, and presumably stronger. Though he does give a wary glance. He supposes this is one of the first signs of the castle having (assumedly) a defense system or group enforcing it of some sort. He saw someone else in armor earlier, though smaller and on all levels more apparently casual. Were they associated?]

[exanimatus]

[...well, there's a vampire on the ceiling.

admittedly, he's a bit further down the hall, sitting (upside-down) on an already tall and vaulted ceiling, and not many people look up when they're wandering down the halls. he has a theory that only the truly paranoid look up.

but maybe his bright red hair and his obvious abuse of physics make up for it. or maybe he'll just have to stalk the new guy for a little while. he's going to wait and see if he notices.]

[livinglavidaloki]

[Or, you know, really observant people or those with otherwise heightened senses. But paranoid works too, all recent events considered. Loki would be bound to notice the presence, but he'll humor the ceiling crawler for a short while and continue along as it were. There's something clearly peculiar here.]

Action (Also I love your username.)

[jimfromit]

[Moriarty is sat reading a book in the lobby. Normally he'd be working in his room but cabin fever was starting to kick in.

He notices you though Mr tall, dark and handsome with the intriguing outfit. He tilts his head and gives you a stare.]

Action (xD Thank you!)

[livinglavidaloki]

[Somehow he ended up in the lobby again. This place was large and easy to get lost in, so even with the mental map he was building it was understandable that he got turned around somewhere along the way. Plus there was always the possibility of castle interference. He gave the human a cursory glance, only to realize that he was being stared at. Have a glower in return, mortal.]
