entranceway | 06. [action/voice/text]

[Since his brother isn't answering all the messages he is sending him Loki finally gets out of his bed to go to him. It is not that he is able to avoid the conversation he needs to have with him. He walks through the hallway and stops in front of Thor's quarters, knocking the door a couple of times.]

Brother? Are you inside? We need to speak.

[When there is no answer he contemplates to walk back to his own room but instead he opens the door to take a look inside.

It is empty, except for a closet and a bed. As if this room has never belonged to Thor in the first place.]

Brother...?

[Eventually Loki leans against the doorway and stares into the room, arms crossed. He knows very well its useless to start a frantic search. Or ask any other denizen of Wonderland for help.

He lets out a long sigh and turns around to walk off. But that walk turns into a run and eventually he is racing through the hallway, finding his way to the attic and up to the roof. He should not cry, Loki did not cry, but this might be one of those exceptions because once the tears start rolling he is not able to stop them anymore.

He runs to that far end where you can sit and look out over the forests, leaving his communicator a couple of feet away from him. It is on, but the only sound others can hear is the wind and very soft sobbing in the distance.

His brother killed him and left without a word.]

[[OOC: Feel free to encounter him in the hallways/the roof or laugh at the gross sobbing he's doing. He got himself killed during the event when Thor slammed him into a wall and Loki kind of broke his neck there.]]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Loki replies, only eight minutes later.]

Hello

[Jeeez Loki, Karkat had just finished typing out a long-winded message and now he has to delete it because you actually answered.]

YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE DYING.
WHAT HAPPENED?

[Loki takes his time with messages, he's busy rubbing his eyes and trying to stop all the crying he's doing.]

I have been. Not anymore.

[Two minutes later a second message arrives.]

I am alive now.

GOOD.
DYING SUCKS.
WHAT HAPPENED?

It seems Thor has left.

[That took him 6 minutes. He contemplates to tell Karkat the truth but, well, in cases like this it is definitely better to just don't say anything at all.]

WHO IS THOR?

My brother. He is gone.

[There's a couple minute pause while Karkat tries to come up with a response that doesn't make him sound like a total douchebag or a total tool.]

THAT'S PRETTY TOUGH.

[It takes a really long time before Karkat receives a new message.]

It is.

[After all, telling the truth takes a while.]

ARE YOU GOING TO BE ALRIGHT? DO I NEED TO COME FIND YOU?

No. On both questions.

[OOC: if Karkat wants to seek Loki out he can do so c:]

I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH A BULLSHIT ANSWER.

[It takes long before Loki answers that message. Loki has returned to his own room again and spent an hour writing in a notebook. Now he's lying on his bed.]

It is not. I do not lie.

IT'S A LITTLE UNREALISTIC FOR A GOD OF MISCHIEF TO NEVER LIE, ISN'T IT?

Lies and mischief are two seperate things, Karkat. The only way to connect them is to lie after performing the act of mischief. I have not done so.

[A couple of minutes later a second message arrives.]

To prove I am not lying I shall tell you the truth. And the truth is that I am not well.

And I despise wailing, yet I cannot stop doing it.

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH NORMAL ISN'T IT? BEING UPSET ABOUT SHIT LIKE THAT?

I would rather not be upset.

[Loki sighs and finally throws the communicator next to his bed.]

IF I KNEW WHAT TO SAY, I'D SAY IT.
ANYTHING I COULD SAY IS LIABLE TO PISS YOU OFF, THOUGH.
I GUESS I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IT'LL GET EASIER, AND THAT IF YOU WANT TO TALK
YOU KNOW
I CAN SHUT UP AND LISTEN IF I TRY.

[Loki stares at the message for a really long time after he picks up the device again, debating what he should do with it.

It hits him that there is one big important difference between Wonderland and Asgard. Despite the fact his brother is gone, despite the mixture of anger, sadness and disappointment going through him, he made friends. At least, he thinks so. Not just one b.f.f., but multiple ones.

Maybe, he could allow himself to relish in that feeling of not being alone or being a pariah.

Its a careful message, and he writes it when the dawn starts setting in.]

I am in my room.

Edited (dat sentence was cray) 2012-09-23 12:20 (UTC)

WHICH ROOM IS THAT?

[Karkat fortunately never sleeps, apparently, but he's not going to wander around at random looking for Loki even so.]

Tenth floor. 252.

[After sending that message he moves from the bed and walks to the bathroom to wash his face.]

Karkat's only a couple floors away, so it doesn't take him more than five or ten minutes to get up to Loki's room. He knocks and then shoves his hands in his pockets, waiting.]

Edited (html derp) 2012-09-23 23:47 (UTC)

[Loki looks up at the sound of a soft knock on his door. There had been a part of him that did not expect that Karkat would actually come by.

He notices he appreciates it. He genuinely appreciates this.

Slowly he walks to the door and opens it.]

Come in, Karkat.

[His voice sounds a bit hoarse, the look on his face blank.]

[Karkat was expecting about that kind of reception, so he doesn't comment, just coming in and looking around.]

Why'd you pick a room way up here?

[Loki shrugs at that question.]

It was close to my brother's room.

[He clenches his hands to fists for a moment.]

I believe I should offer you a drink, right?
