[LOG]

[You would think Loki was used to being thrown into another timeline, another world for that matter. But all together being told he was now part of some base and had to change his clothes, it was like he was at the TVA again. Except now he has these little companions he had been given as well.

Walking inside the common room, Loki looked down at his grunt uniform. He preferred something more stylist, but he couldn't do anything about that for now. Loki held out one of his pokeballs and released his new little friend. Zorua trilled up at him giving a little giggle in delight for being let out. Loki only folded his arms at it.]

Alright little one, it seems you're my new partner in crime... Have you any idea on where we should start?

[Zorua couldn't help but give a big grin at him and transformed herself into a duplicate copy of him. Loki furrowed his brows, and tilted his head. At which Zorua did the same. Becoming a mirror of him by mimicing his every movement. Loki gave a thought after moving his arms around with his double before pressing Zorua's nose who let out a squeak and transformed back into their fox form. Snickers as he watched the little miss pout up at him.]

Well, I know what to train you with first. Let's just say I've quite the talent to illusion magic

[VIDEO]

Right.

[Straightening the grunt uniform's collar, Loki looked into the camera after taking a breath.]

There seems to be some mistake. You see, I, do not belong in this dimension. Clearly you have picked up the wrong being and if I could be sent back to the TVA. Or... Someplace I recognize, I'd much appreciate it.

The creatures you brought me are indeed cute, very amusing. But I am completely unfamiliar with this place and I have no idea what's going on. So...

[Gestures his way out the door, after a moment of silence, he realizes this is probably not going to work.]

... Ofcourse, if you need me to complete some tasks first before I can go back to my world, I'd be happy to oblige.

[The video turns on, with Carly in the middle of, rather ironically, training the nordics.]

Yeah you're going to have bad luck taking that up with whatever actually handles that, [the woman explains, a sympathetic grimace on her face. Wherever she is, it looks at least somewhat tropical. Nice training yard. Good construction.

Carly adjusts her glasses.] It's really easy to adjust to at least? I mean, hoo, if home worlds went this easy... ...ahem. But yeah. You're. Stuck.

And in the same position a very 'lucky' few are! Welcome to Team Rocket, sorry in advance. [There were airquotes on that 'lucky' weren't there.]

[Takes in a sharp breath at that news.]

Charming.

[Tilts his head curiously in observation toward her.]

Yes, I'm sure...

I beg your pardon, "lucky"?

Mmmmm, yeah. [There's a sympathetic smile. Wince. Smile-wince.] Team Rocket likes to think itself as a crime ring. I say 'Think', because as anyone else who was imported in will point out, there's a few parts that they're missing there. And probably can't actually even try? But, okay, cartoon crime, [she carries on, waving a hand.]

The important part is- Oh, hang on-

[In the background, a charizard starts getting in a fight with a volcarona. She shouts-] URD, IF YOU AND RED DON'T KNOCK IT OFF I'M GETTING SKULD INVOLVED!

[The two stop immediately, particularly when a watery spider sort of thing peers up in curiosity.

Carly looks back to the camrea.] Okay, right-

The thing is most people don't end up in Team Rocket. Most people wake up in New Bark Town, in a house, soon to be booted out for a ~pokemon journey~. Which...in some ways can be worse? But the thing is, they're also free to do whatever they want pretty much right away. Weeeeee...uh.

Well. [There's a small shrug, which says 'you can probably already fill in the blank'.]

[While taking in the information, Loki couldn't help but look a bit shifty eyed at the thought of this crime ring being a bit "cartoonish". A thing he only knows is of what the young midgardians had in entertainment. He tilted his head for a moment before giving a smirk.]

Heh, sounds like we have a bit of chaos here already.

Heheeee, well you've got that much right at least...

Ahhh, but if making chaos is your idea of fun, you're going to have to survive training first! And I don't mean that like it's hard, it's...mmm.

[That grimace, once more.] It's more...disappointing? It's only a week at least, but it's really not hard to get through at all.

[Folds his arm to his side as he tilted his head.]

So in other words... Not chaotic at all?

The chaos is going to be a bit delayed yeahhhhh...or at least the fun kind, [she offers, shaking her head. She's married to Jolyne, she knows the differences in chaos.] Mostly you're get a week of the tiring kind...

[Gives a sigh in disappointment.]

Charming.

Guess I'll make do with what I have.

Hey, on the upside you can use the time to browse your pokegear for info? Set yourself up for what you want to do as soon as you get out~!

Step one should be securing quotas. I always just caught them, they don't check to see if you actually stole them, and catching is easier...

Yes that's true.

[Proceeds to take a deeper look at his device. Then glances with a bit of a smirk.]

Well I'll have to see if my pokemon are ready to help me catch some outside here. I don't mind, I need to learn all their tricks and powers.

[Enjoy the wonders of POKEMON INTERNET Loki.]

At least one should; you might have to train the other one up a little bit...oh! But look around the electronics stores when you can; there's Rotom there, they're really handy!

[The many wonders of human technology indeed! Loki gave confident shrug.]

I may be more inclined to magic, but I have no fear of modern tech. I will give it a shot. Thank you Miss... I'm sorry, I don't believe I caught your name?

Carly Nagisa! One of your 'Betas' here, which is just a fancy way of saying I probably outrank whoever is about to handle your training. [Which in itself is a fancy way of saying that the standards here vary.]

And that's good to hear!~ There's...hmm. ...I can't actually say if there's no magic here honestly. It's a bit weird... ...we don't have it though, so it's good that you're open to it. [The tech, that is.]

...Honestly things here sit on a weird scale. We have teleporters, but most people walk or ride animals to get places that are days away.

I am Loki, a pleasure to meet a fellow colleague then.

[Gives a hum.]

Well, we have those sort of things that are similar at home, teleportation that is.

[If you ask Heimdall nicely ofcourse... And were not on the run, but he knows there's many other ways to get around to other places.]

But recreational exercise isn't something looked past, it's not too surprising.

Eh!? Loki? As i-

[As soon as she says it, an eevee jumps into the frame.] GUH-! No, not you!!

Vee!! Vee vee!!

Say, point of curiosity, [she says, adjusting her glasses,] Is that a...Nordic name?

Vee Vee Vee!!! [The eevee- also 'Loki' if context is any sign- seems pretty excited to see someone with that name!!]

Good to hear this is just a matter of course though...we do have the resources for it...

It is...

[He couldn't help but give a little smirk.]

Why, have you heard of my name before?

I sure have..! [Ta-daaaah! Loki the Eevee is now being somewhat simba-held.] On a list of names for this guy!

I was supposed to check his nature once he hatched...Honestly, all of the pokemon out with me right now had the same trainer. He came from Sweden I think?

He liked naming his pokemon after Nordic figures...but I never thought I'd meet one~ Wow~!

[And there it is, Loki gives a bit of cocky grin at that. Ofcourse you heard of him, he's famous... infamous, same thing probably.]

A pleasure to finally meet someone who's heard of me around here~

Seems my name still holds some weight even in this place, as it should!

It's enough that I can at least connect a few dots..~

Uhhhhh....not much else though, [Carly admits, adjusting her glasses.] I can only assume whatever myths you left behind depicted you as really tricky though, because that's the sort of personality I was supposed to assign this name..!

We were all lost and disoriented when we first were plucked from our respective realities and unceremoniously deposited into this queer world, just as you are now. Unfortunately, no number of menial tasks will sate our captor's voracious appetite, and so, like the rest of us, I fear you are here to stay.

[Emet-Selch offers Loki a sympathetic smile, though it still somehow seems rather smug all the same.]

However, you are in good company--for the most part. I am Emet-Selch, though many outside of the organization know me as Soluz zos Galvus, and it would do you well to familiarize yourself with the latter.

Now, who might you be?

[Loki took in the information with a regretful sigh, but nodded, might as well accept this fate then. He placed his hand on his hip as held the camera, glancing back into the lens.]

Guess the never ends of a captive bureaucracy still reside even here.

I am Loki, and I am grateful to have a better audience with someone than just in myself in my room... Perhaps I should pick up pseudonym as well, baring that we must hide our true identity within the Rocket headquarters here...

I had once on Midgard pretended to be D.B. Cooper, on a bet with my brother I could steal a large sum of that world's money.

[Shrugs.]

They never found out my true identity then, so what's the harm of trying once more.

I fear Midgard nor D.B Cooper means naught at all to me, but if you are capable of fostering multiple identities, it will certainly aid you in this line of work. Crafting personas had been something of an occupational requirement from whence I hail, thus the practice is but natural for me.

[Though the name Loki is pretty curious. He chooses not to remark.]

Forgive me if this is too forward, but were you mortal ere your arrival?

Never the matter, yes, the point is I am well acquainted with disguising myself. I believe my powers of illusion, while gone, has been picked up by one of the little friends I've been gifted.

[A gleeful giggle noise can be heard as Zorua hopped on to his shoulder in greeting, giving an amused chuckle and petting the top of her fluffy fox like head.]

I actually was a God from my original world... Asgard. Though I am not sure I will be welcomed back there quite yet. My mischievous ways has got quite scandal there.

A God, were you? How very fascinating. There are some few here that have claimed a similar distinction, and though I would not name myself one, I am an immortal all the same. With that said, I do know a thing or two about mischief and scandals. As I said before, you are in good company, particularly with our lot.

[Though now he turns his attention to the Zorua, his eyebrows raising with due interest.]

These beasts are rather convenient in their powers and uses. I have nearly filled the yawning chasm betwixt this current state and my original with their abilities—though naught will ever replace the independence of accessing your own powers at will. But it is what it is...

[Gives an amused smirk, starting to see a pattern here. Seem those of importance or power were being picked up as well. It does intrigue him to learn how or why. Pressing his fingers to scritch under Zorua's chin in thought.]

Quite glad I have at least landed in familiar company.

I can learn to adapt this way, at least I have some access to powers that are similar to mine.

[Chuckles.]

May have to capture more of these curious creatures though...It will expand my capabilities to get around this world and perhaps other possibilities.

Indeed, their uses are nigh limitless, even if the execution proves rather awkward at times. Should you be interested in aught specific, one of my partners has a ranch where he breeds the beasts, and can like as not provide you with creatures that may suit your needs.

Be warned: he is an odd one, and what he might seek in compensation may not be of a monetary value, but I can assure you that he will not leave you wanting.

Edited 2021-10-22 13:00 (UTC)

I appreciate the offer... I may have to see what he has.

If only hope I am able to supply something reasonable in return.

[The boyish face on this particular video feed... probably doesn't look like criminal material, but the fact is that he does have access to this line.]

I don't know what the TVA is, but... you're not gonna be able to get out of here that easily. Sorry. Oh, but you should probably still do your training!

[Gives a sigh.]

Ofcourse...

I will admit I'll have to figure out the ropes on training these creatures. It is at least good to see they have powers I'm familiar with.

[Wait, give him a second to process that.]

... Oh! Yeah, that too, but I actually meant the Rocket training. Unless you've already done all that...

Ah right.

Yes I will have to start on that, admittedly I only read up on what I need to do. But not much else yet.

... You look like you're pretty calm, all things considered.

[Doppio, trying to figure out just how much of a criminal background this guy might have without revealing anything about himself? Perish the thought.]

Believe me, behind this calm demeanor I would like to go back to where I came from. But... I've had experience in the past with traveling to places unknown... Against my will too.

Really? That sounds rough.

[Not the information he was looking for... but it could be interesting nonetheless.]

You can't leave this world.

[Blunt, but true. Narancia's still not enthused with that.]

Welcome to Team Rocket, though. Good luck with your training week.

[Furrows his brow, okay, there has to be some kind of way out. Still, seems that he is stuck for now. He gives a reluctant sigh.]

It figures...

[Looks back at the screen.]

Thanks, at any rate.
