[Settling on her bed, Daisy sat cross legged on her bed before hitting the video function on her MID.]

Okay-

[Daisy looked to make sure she was live before continuing.]

I'm Daisy Johnson, freshly kidnapped from Earth.

[And clearly not at all bitter about it. Not at all.]

I came across someone today, who, back home basically destroyed New York City. He goes by the name Loki. I don't actually have a picture of him, which, would be really helpful right now...

It doesn't matter, you just need to know that he is extremely dangerous. He's killed a lot of people and he has powers to aid in tricking you. You may think you're safe around him, but you're not. Maybe some people would be afraid to call him out. I'm not. If you ever come across him, contact me.

Well I'm sorry I didn't know there was two of you.

[morethan084]

[Daisy exhaled loudly through her nose. Here she goes again.]

You and I are talking about different Lokis. I didn't know there was another one on board here.

[realitywarped]

Five seconds to look at the inventory, and you couldn't even take that before setting off on a frankly ill-advised crusade. Were I the kind of Loki you seem to be accusing him of, I'd be finding ways to turn this on you. Twist it, until you look even more unreasonable than you already are. As it is, you've made yourself look less than credible, even without anyone's help.

[morethan084]

I'm sorry. But I wasn't here and I was doing what I thought was right. I still think it was the right call.

[hyperkinesia]

I'm sure you did.
Nothing that can be done about it now. We'll just see how things play out.

[ He'd like to be hopeful, but... yeah, no. He's waiting for Bad Things to come now. ]

[morethan084]

You know, for someone so offended about how I would warn people against 'you', you sound a lot like him.

[realitywarped]

Of course I do. I'm Loki.

[He rolls his eyes, for a moment entirely a very exasperated teenager.]

Merely one capable of forethought and occasionally even restraint, for which you should be particularly grateful.

[morethan084]

Oh I am.

[Little shit.]

[arcreact]

the people here haven't seen firsthand what he's done, so of course they're not gonna take it seriously
and i'm 95% sure he'll do something to make a colossal ass of himself, pageantry and all
but all we can do is keep an eye on him, and not provoke him

[ tOO LATE but anyway ]

anything else and we start setting a pretty dangerous precedent

[morethan084]

Well the other Loki is making an ass of himself too, so I guess I wasn't wrong about him either.

[It's hard to believe he's talking to an almost 28 year old, isn't it?]

[takeitslow]

And you made a big rant telling people a guy with that name is dangerous anyway? What are you going to do if someone takes your little warning here and attacks the wrong guy? If someone gets hurt because you couldn't take a look at the names on this thing and realize we had two?

[This rant might sound better if he himself wasn't charged with starting a witch hunt for someone on a shaky premise. But at least the newbies probably don't know about his hypocrisy.]

If something happens to him, you know you're responsible.

video-jacking: (hi, coworker. this girl goes by the name leigh)

[that_cost]

Holy Hell, did you ever say that a million times nicer than I could. I'd have filled up a swear jar.

You realize we have more than one Loki here?

[ Because Charlie's taken the time to scroll through the MID and poke around and find information out.

She's also speaking calmly Others may be flipping out at this girl but Charlie's taking a different approach. ]

I get your panic and your upset. If someone from my home showed up, I'd probably lose my shit, too. There are a lot of unpleasant people who'd like nothing more than to wreck what's left of my life.

But if the wrong Loki gets hurt, it's your fault. While you may be trying to keep the rest of us safe, you totally just dicked someone over that has nothing to do with your worlds problems.

[realitywarped]

[He smiles, thin and a little too wide to be healthy.]

Besides, you're warning people of all the wrong things. It's not the big flashy destruction you want them to watch for. It's the small unexpected hidden things. He'll be in hiding, now, if he's truly the Loki you paint- but it won't stop him from being dangerous. You've just made sure he's on his guard, that's all.

[tearmeanewone]

That was my In Public voice.

Re: [Private]

[that_cost]

I don't have one of those just yet. Working on it.


I'm worried for the other Loki. The one she wasn't talking about. This could potentially cause him more trouble than he needs.

[Private]

[tearmeanewone]

Frankly I think she's made herself look worse than either of them.

But I understand your concern-- rest assured that at least one Loki has existed fairly quietly on the Moira for some months, I doubt any of the veteran crew will make the mistake. Hopefully they'll educate the rest.

And I suppose we have to hope that this other Loki and Ms. Johnson don't run afoul of one another.

[Private]

[that_cost]

I think so, too. I mean, I get her fear. If someone from my past showed up that caused me as much trouble as her Loki seemed to have? I'd promptly cry in a corner for a few hours and then notify friends and family.

[ She'd be crying because she set someone on fire. As often as she's had to do it to survive, it never gets any easier to bear. Not that Elizabeth knows this. Charlie doesn't know her enough to say a thing. ]

But I think fear makes people amazingly irrational and stubborn and incapable of seeking out alternative solutions until it's too late. That's been my experience.

[Private]

[tearmeanewone]

It's been mine as well.

[Says the woman stuffed into a tower because everyone was afraid of what she could do.]

I don't know that she's afraid. I think she's looking to solve a problem-- one that doesn't exist yet. You try to fix something that's not broken, you run the risk of breaking it.

I have my share of unsavory types in my background, but I'll tell you one thing, if one of them showed up, they would be stupid to start something here. They didn't cause me trouble by being stupid.

[arcreact]

My supernatural powers of denial are the only things keeping me upright.

[ VERY DRYLY. ]

Just know that if you do start shit, you've got almost every single Avenger locked up with you in this little tin can, and probably plenty of other crazy powerful people besides. I'd question whether it's really worth it.

[arcreact]

[ Is this what being a babysitter is like, only half the kids you're babysitting are murderers ]

yeah, well, if he really is Loki, no surprise there

[ He is a bona fide LOKI RACIST ]

but listen, kid, I don't trust him not to be petty and I know you don't either, because you've made that clear
I think you'll probably wanna be extra cautious after this

I realize you have good intentions, but do you really think this wise? Announcing this to an open network is likely putting a target, not only on yourself, but on the two that share his name-- and perhaps even the rest of us on the ship.

I don't doubt that he did what you say. But the ship has already had an issue with crew members taking the law into their own hands, and people have gotten hurt-- innocent people.

While I'm all for the public being made aware, panic and hysteria is the last thing we need right now.

[morethan084]

I'm not afraid of him.

[That is such a lie.]

[harderfasterwrecker]

What, do I gotta explain Die Hard to a human now?

I mean you're already callin' me a what, and now you're disrespecting your own world's films? Shame!

[commontype]

Guess cause you weren't thinkin' about how it effects everybody, yeah? Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut. Less trouble.
