AUDIO. UN: LOKI

[selfimage]

[ as the cures and vaccines are passed through ALASTAIR recruits and the population alike, Loki takes a moment to address Audentes. it's the end of one story, after all, he feels that the lingering strings have a chance to be tied up in a neat bow.

there's an odd sort of feeling that accompanies the announcement. while his easy, casual manner still guides his tone, there's a hint of pride in the cadence of his words. ]

As everything comes to an end in Woodhurst, I suppose it would be satisfying to get some closure. There are those of us that are still recuperating, and those of us aiding in the efforts to spread the cure. To all, I bring news.

A fair number of us found dear "Doctor" Percy holed up in his sewer abode, alone aside from his brigade of robotic guards. The work he did to conceive the alien virus and spread the infection, it was all due to his personal efforts. He was a single Zymandis agent, alone, with a grandiose plan to infect the entire universe, and watch it suffer before it crumbled. [ he's leaving a few gruesome details out, but it's probably better for those who already feel nauseous. ]

If the cannibalistic sickness proved effective, Zymandis meant to use it to spread destruction, causing the premature death of other vulnerable timelines to harvest their energy.

[ a pause, and there's a part of him that can't help but be satisfied. ]

He thought he may have a chance for making it out. Instead, he seemed to have met a well-deserved fate. The last vial of his precious sickness has been collected, so it's bye-bye virus for the time being. He won't be reporting to anyone of his unfortunate successes and even more questionable failures.

A pity. [ he says it in the way that it doesn't sound like a pity at all. ]

Who's Tim? What does he have to do with it?

[Although---]

Hey, you're a god or something, right? Can you use some magic to send Zymandis packing if they try to mess with these guys again? Or get your snake girlfriends to keep an eye on things?

[sorry Loki she's never getting over that]

[selfimage]

It doesn't work like that, unfortunately. And that's daughters, not girlfriends.

[ and that's all he says about that. ]

Tim is ALASTAIR's Timeline.exe, and their tool for pinpointing vulnerable timelines that may be in need of aid.

1/2

[feytality]

WHAT?! You're making out with your daughters?! That's worse! And so gross!

[the kinkshaming will never end.....]

[feytality]

Is..... Tim a time robot?

[she's not over Days of Our Loki but she has to ask]

[selfimage]

[ he'll just let her think that a while longer. ]

Nothing like the TARDIS, more like a program. It runs algorithms, calculates the amount of energy in certain timelines to pinpoint which are vulnerable.

[feytality]

[Loki why do you want Maya to think you're into snake incest]

What's a... "tardiss"? And... that tim thing is how we know what timelines need to be helped?

[selfimage]

[ it's not the worst thing someone's thought of him. ]

That Tim thing is absolutely how ALASTAIR knows what timelines need to be helped. It calculates the energy, pinpoint "problem" areas with a capital P.

[feytality]

[but why]

I guess that's pretty handy. [Isn't he going to explain Doctor Who to her???] Maybe Tim needs an upgrade so he can put up some anti Zymandis shields or something.

[selfimage]

[ patience, young padawan. he has to bring it in seamlessly, as if he were the Doctor himself. (maybe he thinks he is,
who knows.) ]

Perhaps.

But it seems like Zymandis is the one with the upgraded version. The one who conceived Tim has their alliance.

[feytality]

[Well, he is a manpaining alien who runs around time and space and keeps collecting young women. I'm counting Stiles in this]

What do you mean, "Perhaps"?? [Is it not handy... She makes a face, not that he can see]

Really? Who's that? We gotta get them back on our side or those dumb xylophones are gonna keep one-upping us!

[selfimage]

Everything about what we know of him screams unknown in big red letters, so even if Zymandis knows of him, it'll be difficult tracking him down. The rest of the Zymandis and ALASTAIR relationship is a big foggy space in history, one that not even the senior members of the organization can lend answers to.

So, easier said than done.

[feytality]

Then... how do you know all of this?

[why is Loki McSnakeIncest the holder of the plot...]

[selfimage]

I've been around for a while.

[ since before the conception of Audentes, when they were just a bunch of travelers blindly adhering to some idea of what ALASTAIR thought was for the best. ]

Your magitek should include an overview of Zymandis, and one who conceived the Timeline.exe. Not much, of course, but enough for now.

[feytality]

[Jin did mention he heard plot deets from Loki.... he believes Loki, so Maya can believe him too, kink list aside] So you know pretty much everything that went on, huh....

My... magitek? Where?

[spoilers she's awful with technology]

[selfimage]

[ a pause, and then there's an exaggerated sigh from the other end. ]

Don't say I've never done anything for you.

[ bleep bloop. ]

[feytality]

[creepy uncle can be nice sometimes...]

WOAH!? There's so much info here! I didn't even know we were friends with centaurs!

[selfimage]

And cats, don't forget the cats. [ he sounds like he's shaking his finger. ]

What we know of Zymandis and Timeline.exe was from our success in many missions. It took a while. I suppose once we met them, then it was essential that we knew. At least, what ALASTAIR does.

[feytality]

I knew about the cats already! I would never forget their combined fluffiness! [look, Loki, she has her priorities in order]

So, do you think they're holding out on us or is there just a lot of stuff even they don't know?

[selfimage]

They're sincere.

It most likely means that they're not. Besides, it's not as if it would do them any good.

[feytality]

Yeah, but a lot of people seem to think they're suspicious and everything..... I guess you don't, Mr. Loki #2?

[selfimage]

No, I think they're probably the only clear-cut part of a grand multiversal scheme.

[feytality]

[omg their icons match]

What do you mean?

[selfimage]

Usually when someone lies, they have something to gain. Collectively, teams are self-governing which means that there's no one to benefit from the decisions of Timeline.exe.

There may be some individuals with nefarious plots, but there's no grand leader to claim the prizes of the timeline.

[feytality]

I guess that makes sense. But do you really think we were all brought here by accident?

[selfimage]

No one would willingly sweep me onto a team on purpose.

Trust me.
