o3 ☢ but i'm good at being uncomfortable so i can't stop changing all the time
[ as always with a banner post, the opener cues up a half uncomfortable, awkward smile. sincere, but still twitchy. bruce: never going to like public speaking, thanks. ]
I spent some spare time lately messing with my communicator, and I thought I'd share the benefits.
[ more: he's been reminding himself to do this since speaking to ros, but 'the pretty red haired woman with the hungry smile who can't read inspired this' seems a little too much. better to be a bored scientist tinkering with things. ]
I thought it might be useful to have a-- reading function on these things, so to speak. It's not the most elegant job, but I can show my work if anyone else wants to keep going on something a little more structured.
...Anyway. The program I threw together reads text posts aloud. [ in something that sounds a lot like betty's voice, because bruce is a dork. ] I know language barriers aren't much of an issue here, and I can't promise an attached dictionary, but it's something.
[ he hesitates. ]
We're all very focused on the immediate, and we should be. But it might not hurt to add a few more-- non-essential projects to the pile, just to make life a little more comfortable. [ not that he doesn't want to be home-- well, all right, some of him doesn't-- but of all people, bruce understands the need to make something good happen, see tangible and rewarding results for your efforts in between everything else. ]
...Right.
[ the half smile bruce turns towards his communicator is particularly pained, now. there really should be a lost and found okay, so he doesn't have to do something like this to keep from feeling wasteful and more than a little cowardly. ]
Last jump, I received a few things I don't need. If anyone wants them, I'll leave them all in a box outside 006 » 029. First come, first serve.
[ and now his eyebrows draw together. ]
Don't say it, Tony. [ that probably guarantees trolling. reverse psychology for fun and profit, and banner out. ]

( 1 ) yoga mat
( 1 ) set bongo drums
( 1 ) large bag marijuana

We should probably all talk. Briefing?
[ because they've lost people, and they've gained others-- time to touch base. past time. ]

That can be updated.

[He taps the camera with a black polished nail]
We are very different creatures.
[video]
[video]
In my world you and I go back a long way. Are you aught familiar with a group called the Avengers?
[video]
...Am I-- yes. You could say that, yes.
[video]
I know not what his relationship with your Avengers might have been but I can tell you 'twas I who formed the Avengers in my own world.
[The greatest lies have some truth to them]
[video]
Right. Sorry, and you expect me to just believe that?
[video]
Do you think I'd lie?
[Hand comes down]
I was the first to gather the Avengers. They went on to be the finest team of heroes on Midgard.
[He'll just...not mention that he assembled them by accident.]
[video]
[ he lifts one shoulder in a shrug. ]
Fair or not, it would be ridiculous of me to just... take your word for it.
[video]
[He folds his hands, his gaze lowering mournfully]
'Tis true, they once thought of me as a sinister deity. They called me a fiend, some even called me a God of Evil.
[He lifts a curled finger to his lips, allowing a look of existential exhaustion to momentarily flit across his features.]
Great tragedy can change both men and gods. I am that creature no longer.
[video]
[ it's a joke, but a somewhat sharp edged one. maybe this loki is somehow radically different than the one who planned on using him like a dumb animal-- jury's not in yet, and until it is caution is warranted. ]
[video]
In a sense I lost it. I lost everything.
All I have left is to prove that I am not the monster people believe me to be.
[video]
[ kind of not sarcasm somehow. ]
[video]
I thank you.
