Day 331 (Strange Relations) | Action (closed and open) - backdated to mid- morning
|Open Action|

[he emerges from Sector Six a bit worse for the wear, torn and stained clothes and a rather mangled communicator. It took some time and effort to get it working properly after the flood, leaving him lost in the sector for several days - not that it was an entirely unenjoyable experience. In fact, he may have remained there a bit longer than was unavoidable, exploring, and for that reason he's feeling a little bit guilty. His sister Verity surely must have worried... (and it's a strange thing, that every time today he's called her his sister Ikol has expressed irritation and refused - or perhaps been unable - to explain why)

He makes a detour to a clothing store before he heads to their shared apartment, hoping to find something more presentable]

|Closed Action - to Verity Willis|

[now less grubbily attired, he approaches his and Verity's apartment with no small amount of caution - but he puts on a brave face as he opens the door]

Verity! I have returned, most victorious, to tell a wonderful tale as incredible as it is true... of a deep and treacherous wood, great floating rocks, and of perilous danger narrowly yet thoroughly avoided!

[it's a little odd, but he's too relieved by the lack of anger to be really concerned by it]

Exceedingly so! It all began the day of the flood... [he pauses a moment, looking around before he launches into a full recitation] I do hope, what with my absence and lack of communicability - it broke, the machine broke, I swear! - I do hope you didn't assume me swallowed by the whims of the interdimensional stabilizing device.

	It didn't really cross my mind. [Why would it, they've only really talked the one time. But, he seems so eager to tell his story that she can't bring herself to ask why it was her he was telling it to.] So, where did you end up? [There was no harm in listening] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[she is taking this really remarkably well]

The vast and wild and ever-fascinating Sector Six. I found a most wondrous forest, filled with creeping vines and gorgeous flowers... and such amazing beings! Some of them are like two different sorts of Midgardian creatures put together.

[what he doesn't tell her: that some of these amazing beings almost killed him]

	[She may not think Loki's her brother but, from what little she knows about sector six, knowing a kid was in there was enough to concern her.] And you managed to avoid the raptors there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The raptors, yes. Mostly. [there were one or two close-ish calls] (Reply to this) (Parent)
