[Out at the edge of Camp, near where the the Barrier effect starts these days, there's a god and a picnic blanket and some cupcakes.]

So... Where is it thou shalt be in five years time?

[Join him, if you like.]

((OOC: 5 Years of Camp + Thor. Just wanted to get this up while it was still the day of, for me. Edit: Out for the night, but will

Hello, brother.

(( EPIC PLACEHOLDER while I fly home but I couldn't resist ))

[say_thee_nay]

Hello, Loki.

[say_thee_nay]

--!

[say_thee_nay]

Loki...?!

How-- That is, by what mad sorcery--

... thou'rt a child!

1/2

[broguery]

Well, of course, you're the one who-

[...waaaaaait a minute.]

[broguery]

...You've been here for five years?

[say_thee_nay]

[Grabs him by the collar and hauls him up to eye level.]

Do not toy with me, impostor... Time might flow differently within the encampment than without, but e'en so--its course doth not run backward.

My brother is many things, sorcerer and trick-shape among them, but he is no imp. Why hast thou assumed this form, of him as a youth?

Speak quickly!

[broguery]

[flailing. why does this keep happening to me]

Wait, Thor! Why would anyone want to impersonate me? Think about it! I can explain almost everything, but not if you strangle me first!

[say_thee_nay]

[... that certainly sounds like something the Loki I know would say...]

Begin, then.

[broguery]

[deeeeeep breath]

Okay, listen, you just said time works differently in this place, right? The fact that you don't know why I'm in this form must mean that I came from a point that is still in your future, assuming you haven't simply forgotten. I know that doesn't make sense looking at me-none of this makes any sense- but... trust me?

I'm no impostor, I swear to you!

[say_thee_nay]

[... why does your story have to be so disconcertingly plausible?]

... trust thee? E'en if thou were my brother, imp, that is scarcely a reason to trust thee--much the opposite, in fact.

[broguery]

Fair enough, but let's revisit what I said before. Who would want to pretend to be me? What benefit could that possibly have? Why not pretend to be someone a little more popular?

[say_thee_nay]

This encampment hath meddled with perceptions before... How better to strike at me than through family?

[broguery]

[sigh]

Look, beyond what you just told me, I don't know anything about this place. I don't know what the circumstances were the last time you saw me, either, but much has changed since then, I can assure you. Laughable as it may be to hear it from me, this is no trick. I am not quite the same Loki that you remember, but I am Loki.

...And, to tell the truth, my current state leaves me greatly in your debt. I have no reason to strike at you.

[say_thee_nay]

...

[Sets him down.]

I have heard stranger tales... Mayhaps there is truth to thine.

[broguery]

[brushing himself off, sheeeeeesh.]

I realize this probably makes no sense to you, but neither does this. [glancing around at the environment]
