3rd Journey [video]

[reginagloriae]

I...um, hi.

[Nervous looking redhead finally makes a video broadcast and she's fidgeting about it. She prefers audio better, but she wants people to know her current predicament as a subtle call for help. Youko's sitting on her bed with something. Something heavy and mostly invisible aside of the back green spots, flaming pink mohawk, matching colored paws and collar.

A hellhound. Loki's.]

Has anyone seen Loki? He's not answering my messages since this afternoon. The prank stopped being funny after Darkness fell. I need... [She freezes while the hellhound snuffling her lap in melancholy.] to know if he's ok.

[She swallows her own insecurity and reaches out apprehensively to pat the invisible pup's head to console her.]

Huh. This was going to be a broadcast to ask for a job. [Funny how her plans are derailed like that.] If he doesn't answer, I need to ask tips to know how to take care of a hellhound.

[She pales slightly when she utters that aloud. She bows her head and mutters softly.]

Sorry about the bother. If anyone has seen him, please send me a message.

[Wanda's using voice because that seemed to be Youko's medium of choice in the past.]

Hi, Youko. It's Wanda. I doubt this is a prank. I got the impression Loki actually respects you too much for that. [Supportive smile that can be heard if not seen.] Don't apologize. It's not your fault.

[Wanda is a little freaked. She's yet to personally 'meet' Thora, having purposefully avoided her. But now Youko is stuck taking care of the hellhound all by herself. Afraid or not, Wanda's having none of that.]

Are you all right? Tell me Thora is behaving herself. [She seems to be, but she's also obviously making Youko uncomfortable with her very existence.]

Can you handle her or would you like some help? I don't have any tips, but I won't leave you alone with Thora if she frightens you!

[Voice she feels safer in this option. Less forced smiles and attempts to relax.]

Huh. Hello, miss Wanda. [She doesn't see her, but Youko's nodding.] Makes me concerned. What if AGI captured him?

[He always got into trouble.]

[voice]

[reginagloriae]

Ahh. She's heartbroken because she misses her owner. [And makes the youma inside of her reckless. Loki knew she had a killing instinct against beings like Thora.] She doesn't frighten me. Honestly... I'm worried that I'll hurt her.

[AGI can capture a god?! Ugh, this place just keeps getting weirder.]

I'm sure Loki will be fine. He always manages to come back. [No matter how hard life--or Thor--tries to keep him down.]

It's obvious how much you care for him and want to do right by Thora. Trust yourself. You can do this.

[HE'S JUST A KID. And they are corrupted corporations.]

I guess he does. He usually tells me where he is after the Darkness falls.

[Which makes her worried]

Y...You're right. I can do it. [The pressure to live up expectations fuel her]
