Jesus.
So…how many of you are here?
And are you all from the same… is it universe? Timeline? Both?

[thecoolerloki]

It's Loki, actually. Son of a different all powerful Father. XD

There are three of us currently, one being from a completely separate universe/timeline deal. The other one and I are from the same whatever we're calling this, but he's further along than I am.

[forasecond]

How do you know for sure that the two of you are from the same universe?

[thecoolerloki]

We know. We were briefly alive at the same time.

[forasecond]

I see.

[Five can recognize a 'I don't want to talk about it' when he sees one, and as he wouldn't want someone pressing those particular topics for him, he'll let this lie here, too.]

[thecoolerloki]

You should try attending school with me one day. I do so under a codename, so we could think of one for you as well.

It couldn't be more boring than whatever else you're doing to occupy your time.

[forasecond]

Hard pass. I have no interest in going to school.

And I don't find what I'm doing boring.

[thecoolerloki]

What ARE you doing then?

[forasecond]

Trying to rework my temporal equations into something that might work in a more… multidimensional capacity.

[thecoolerloki]

And do you intend to actually do anything with these equations?

[forasecond]

I'm going to find a way home.

[thecoolerloki]

LOL good luck
You should get a hobby tho

[forasecond]

I'm good.

[He isn't the first one to doubt Five's lofty goals, but it doesn't bother him anyway. If he had given up when all hope seemed lost in the Apocalypse, he never would have made it back to his family. He's a man of a great wealth of patience.]

[thecoolerloki]

I assume you’ve reached out to my elder self, Stephen, and Stark? They laid quite a bit of groundwork when everyone was first arriving.

[forasecond]

I'm talking to your older self. I haven't spoken to the other two, though, no.

[He knows of Stephen, at least. Stark isn't even a name he recognizes-- honestly, if it hasn't been inside the incredibly small sphere of his house, the coffee shop down the street, or wherever Harry has dragged him here and there, Five hasn't seen or noticed anyone-or-anything. He really went full-scale tunnel vision on this project and has only just recently started paying attention to much of anything else. Whoops.]

[thecoolerloki]

Surprisingly other people have had the same idea as you. It might help to speak with them.

This is why I suggest hobbies, BTW.

[forasecond]

It was just particularly tiring being told repeatedly it wouldn't work, the last time I tried to talk to people about it. Easier to keep the work to myself.

What if this is my hobby?

[thecoolerloki]

These ones will only tell you that it hasn't worked so far, which is an important distinction. I personally do not feel the need to assist so long as another Loki is already on it.

I have at least ten hobbies.

[forasecond]

Good to know.

Why do you need so many hobbies?

[thecoolerloki]

Because my old hobby was world domination.

[forasecond]

What the hell are the hobbies you're using to replace that impulse?

[thecoolerloki]

Currently?
I'm fond of creative writing, computer programming, tabletop roleplaying, sorcery, video games, painting miniatures, and things of that nature.

[forasecond]

I wouldn't have the patience for painting small things, kudos.

[thecoolerloki]

I simply cast a spell to make it larger while I'm painting. But as you can imagine, it's in everyone's best interest that I don't become bored.

[forasecond]

So far, I haven't had to stop an Apocalypse in this world, I'd definitely like that trend to continue, so...thanks.
