Why isn't it working? Come on!!
[Nux's voice carries, a little too loud, before his face appears on camera. He looks into the device, squints a bit as if studying it and then--]
Is this on? Is it working? [Yes!]
This is so shine... [He grins. He's in his uniform, war paint scrubbed off his face but there are scars clearly visible. On his lips, nose, and two large lumps on the side of his neck, but his grin is wide and enthusiastic.]
I've seen things I never thought possible before... that I never thought I would do in a million years. How many of you out there have come from places like this?
My home... my world, it's dead. Salt as far as the eye can see. Water was rationed... We were told not to depend on it, that it would make us weak when it was finally gone. It isn't like here at all, where we have food and water...
When I first arrived... I thought it was Valhalla for a moment.
[Even rationed, everything was still more plentiful than at home. He pauses, thoughtful. There was more point to this than all that though.]
Tell me, where did you come from? What was it like and do you want to return to it?

no subject
[Because it sounds like it...]
Dying.
no subject
[Dead Lokis don't go to Valhalla, and if he's been there, it's been sneakily, and probably he really shouldn't have been there. Loki has no place with the einherjar, living or dead.]
So sure you won't survive whatever happened?
no subject
[It sounds fascinating and Nux can't help but want to know more about where the dead can truly live again and again... or at the very least, sneak into Valhalla.]
Even if I survive what happened before I arrived, I'm already at the end of my life.
[He idly motions to his neck, shrugging his shoulders.]
no subject
[He shrugs. It's odd, someone having heard of Valhalla without some idea of who Loki is, but maybe this Nux just hasn't figured out that he can see people's names on the MID yet.]
Not that I remember most of them, of course.
[And the qualifier, because Loki isn't supposed to remember... He tilts his head, but honestly, human conditions don't mean an awful lot to him, so whatever's going on with Nux's neck means very little to him.]
Oh? Some kind of illness?
no subject
[He can't help but sound skeptical all over again, though it's tinged with a bit of excitement.
He nods at the question.]
My mates, they're pressing in, making it hard to breathe. They don't get me, the night fevers will.
Or they were going to. They're helping me here.
no subject
[He pulls a face at the scepticism. It's bad enough when people haven't heard of any of the Norse gods, but worse when they've obviously only heard parts of the story- the uninteresting parts, in Loki's opinion.]
Your... mates?
