[Loki is, as always, smiling, apparently entirely unconcerned by the situation. And, to be fair- the situation isn't of his making, and it isn't currently proving particularly dangerous to any of the few people he might be inclined to be upset about getting harmed. He'll get upset later, if they are.

He waves at the camera, a brief wiggle of his fingers, before he folds them, leaning on the edge of a plain white workbench somewhere in a plain white room. There's a row of tools hanging on the wall behind him, but not much else.]

Hello- again, if we've met, or not, if you're one of the very easily timed influx of new arrivals. If you're one of those, welcome to the ship, you're probably not going to enjoy the stay terribly much, and no, once you've checked in you almost certainly can't leave. I'm Loki, for what that's worth.

[He tilts his head, eyes half-lidded, not quite meeting the camera. It's... not particularly Loki-ish to offer help, unprompted, but he supposes he might as well. Besides, he most likely isn't going to do it for free.]

I bring you one or two offers that may or may not help, considering the corpse at the feast and the fact we're once again likely to be number one on yet another planet's most wanted list- and speaking of which, perhaps we can not make this one implode?

[He's... committed enough genocide, thanks. Past life, but still his memories.]

But yes- firstly! I finally broke into one of the many locked rooms, thankfully one entirely free of deadly skeletons, and found- well-

[He pans the camera; the room is barely recognisable as a forge, but close enough. The actual forge, anvil, water bath, tools, although everything is kind of rounded off and matte and black.]

I've been experimenting, and of course things take time, but if the Ingress swallowed your perfectly serviceable weapon and you'd like a new one, I'm usually capable enough.

[He pans back to himself.]

Secondly- and you don't know what making this offer means, so appreciate it- I'm the god of tricks and being in places you really shouldn't be. So should you have an emergency, and you ask particularly nicely, I may be able to offer one or two magical disguises, perhaps an odd emergency portal to the surface. I'll accept bribery, fervent praise, or favours to be collected at a later date in payment.

Not as far as I'm aware. One per world, usually, but mine's been through a few previous owners.

[Well, okay, two. Plus perhaps a few from previous Ragnaroks, but no-one remembers them.]

Exactly! And it's not like there's much else to do for fun, not once we're off-planet. A little exploring is helping me retain sanity, I swear.

[He spreads his hands, looking just as off-hand.]

Better the weapon you have than the one you don't, yes?

[Then again, Loki had mentioned being the God of tricks, so perhaps there is some relation, after all. Or maybe this guy is just batshit crazy, there's always that possibility. But Len's seen enough recently to make him think that magic and Gods might not be so far-fetched in this life.] Been to many other worlds, then?

I'm pretty new here, so I'm not bored yet. Maybe you can point out some of the more interesting-looking ones, though.

[Len purses his lips, but nods.] Much rather have mine back. But yeah. Sure.

Enough. Most of them particularly terrible. Meeting yourself is always a bad plan.

[The world where he'd seen what would have happened, if he'd ever succeeded at ruling Asgard? That hadn't been a particularly fun world, with everyone being very, very dead. And most of the other living Lokis hadn't been terribly pleasant, either. Some of them had been downright disturbing, in fact.]

Interesting places, hmm? Well... I do know one or two. Do you want the fun kind of interesting, or the intriguing kind of interesting?

[There's a few mysteries Loki knows of, at least; it depends on whether it's those, or just excitement he's after.]

Good luck with that, I'm afraid. I still haven't seen my coat returned, or my amulet.

[Len manages not to wince at that... meeting his younger self in an earlier timeline was bad enough, he can't imagine meeting duplicates in parallel worlds. Who knows, in another he could be a fine upstanding citizen or a mayor or something.] I can only imagine.

[He considers for a moment.] Let's say... the valuable type of interesting. That might fall under either category. [And it's always fun to steal intriguing things...]

I'm not sure we have much that's valuable and also easily moved. There's few places to dispose of your loot on a ship like this. And I'd highly recommend not entering my room; it's trapped, viciously.

[He shrugs. Theft is relatively incidental to Loki; he'll do it given the necessity and/or opportunity, but he doesn't seek it out.]

There are locked doors in the hold, and a corridor full of locked doors, behind which who knows? I'd recommend not the door with the bright green warning about deadly contents. The

I'm sure there's places to offload valuables wherever we stop. [And half the time it's about the thrill of the chase, anyway, the challenge of breaking into someplace forbidden.] And noted... stay away from your room. Maybe I'll look into setting some traps of my own, too.

[He nods, taking the warning seriously.] I'm cool with that, rather not get killed by some toxic space gas or whatever.
