Hello. :-)

Everyone patched up and out of the slammer? Good.

It's been quite a ride, hasn't it? First dragons that were intended to end a world, now political conflicts between parties and the compelling mystery as to WHY??? the whole MISSING SUN thing, and WHO STARTED IT?? thing, etc etc. Oh- and there's also that nagging little question of what's going to happen if we do succeed in the way that we're meant to. (Insert question marks here) But forgot that for now, we can do the whole "share your multiversal anecdotes" later.

[ goblins, humans, goblin-human conflict and everything else in between. there's still fuel on the fire and a conflict and a sun missing. he's wondered if their presence here was enough to sway the tides of fate in ALASTAIR's favor, and that's left him with nothing but a sour taste in his mouth. ]

Alas, here's the thing! Despite the mission, we're still all on our own. :'( But all's not lost! I'm here to offer a little tidbit that I found rifling through some paperwork that someone oh-so-fortunately left out in the open. I just happened to be glancing over. [ "happened to." ]

There have been some very curious disappearances. 4, in particular.

Agatha Belrose
Felix Poirier

With all the talk of sacrifice I thought it may be preferable to find these people and, well, possibly who took them and where they've gone. You know, saving them from the whole maybe-but-we-don't-know sacrificial death thing. It sounds very unpleasant, and with a possible worrisome outcome.

[ he's never really been much of a team player, but getting the brunt of the blame if someone's sacrificed generally wasn't in his best interest. ]

Now, where to do with these names? Ideas? Comments? Concerns? I'll leave the floor open.

Luckily for that. I am good at espionage, and I wouldn't want a rival. It takes all kinds, really.
I wonder how quickly the red flags would be pinned on us if we started asking question. Given, that's not exactly a bad thing, you know. There has to be a WHO or a WHAT behind this.

[ given, Loki's not too concerned about the kidnappers finding them. staying quiet is one thing, but being loud can be just as much of an opportunity. ]

So, tell me, what ARE you good at?

[hellshaped]

[Considering they're all collectively not from around here, it's surprising they all haven't been blamed for more stuff, actually.]

Punching things, mostly.




That would be funnier if you could see what I looked like. [The hand. You know.] I used to fight monsters for a living.

[ if this were audio, he'd sound interested. ]

Snap me a selfie. :-)

[hellshaped]

I don't know what that is.

[selfimage]

Take a quick pic of yourself, then send it over to me.
I bet it'll pack a punch.

[ he just did. ]

[LOKI.]

Look, I once had a microwave blow up on me because I turned the dial the wrong way. It's probably for the best I don't mess with the camera settings on this thing. [It's on his wrist. He likes his hand intact.]

[selfimage]

[ YOU LEFT YOURSELF OPEN THIS ISN'T HIM. (it is.) ]

You won't blow up your..... whatever you're using.
Promise. With cherries on top. Can you put cherries on top? OK, maybe whipped cream.

[hellshaped]

You're really pushing this hard. No.

I like a good joke. It's a travesty when I don't get the punchline.

[ badum-tish. ]

[hellshaped]

On the other hand, being the butt of a joke isn't really on my agenda.

[You were being weirdly insistent about this, guy!! Hellboy is self-conscious. What was your intention.]

[selfimage]

[ on the other hand. ]

If you insist. I suppose we'll meet sooner or later. I assume it'll be like a delayed reaction.
That as well as obvious.

[hellshaped]

[NO THAT'S NOT WHAT HE MEANT, DON'T YOU DARE BRING PUNS INTO THIS.]

Sure. It's a small [...] realm.

[Or whatever.]

[ HUR HUR HUR HUR. ]
