paradisa | {{001. Disappointments

[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.]]

[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.]

[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.]

[Of course he isn't that naïve. It doesn't mean he's going out in the open. Not just yet. Arrow notched, listening to Loki's footsteps, keeping the layout in his mind, the location of the target...

Deep breath...

And he pops out, loosing an arrow, before diving for another sofa, drawing another arrow as he does.]

[There was a sigh of irritation from this end. He was making this difficult, wasn't he? The demigod made a fast step aside in time, eyes following it. He learned from his mistakes-- this one wasn't about to go off in his face, or hand for that matter. But by the looks of it, that arrow confirmed it. But what was he doing here of all things? He was fairly sure he'd left the archer behind with the rest of them. Loki looked to where he assumed the archer had dropped next.] Isn't it a universal concept that firing at strangers is unwelcome?

[Where he assumed, yes. But Barton is a skilled spy, good at moving unnoticed. And, demi-god or not, Barton knows the lay of the land...

He pops up, an arrow flying from Loki's left side.]

You know me. Not a stranger.

[He notices it coming. Loki knocks this one aside, looking to where it came from boredly. He could do this all day, Clint. And he's going to keep denying you.] You're mistaken.

[He smirks. Well, he was out in the open now, might as well face him.]

Hiding won't work. Pretending you're someone else won't work. I know it's you. Loki, of Asgard. The one who used the Tesseract to bring the Chitauri through to New York.

[His voice is totally calm, professional. But, inside, he's raging. He wants nothing more than to make Loki pay. To him, they're still fighting.]

And no human can knock aside my arrows like that.

[There's a slow smile.] You know, I'm beginning to think you're a little obsessed. I know nothing of this 'York', and it's ill advised that you accuse me simply of being. Especially as it appears you are alone and have little evidence to make it appear otherwise. [Okay, so he could use a little practice with the playing human thing. He'll study that up during his stay here.]

[A matching smile, there, Loki.]

Work on your act, Loki. I can see right through you. [Clint's smile doesn't reach his eyes, however.]

[It seems he can't quite get serious with you after all, Clint. You're not really a threat at this point. There's a mild look of amusement.] And I, you. Are you done yet? [The demigod gave a careless motion to the general direction of the previously discarded arrows.]

[Ooooh. You bitch, Loki.]

You just keep telling yourself that, Loki. Things are different here.

[That may be a bluff, but he has some powerful friends here.]

[Laughable.] Different? It's the same everywhere. It doesn't matter what universe. There are inevitable cycles, human. You're predictable. Don't think yourself, this world, any better or 'different' than the ones before you.

We'll see, Loki. We'll see.

[He's going to leave now, moving to head on past the demi-god.]

Watch your back.

I wouldn't worry about me. [Loki will just go back to his looking around, but he'll be sure to 'catch up' with him later when he's to better terms with this place.]
