Post-Shift Apologies and Things [Video] - open

[searches_forhim]

[Jane takes a deep breath and presses the button to start the broadcast.]

Hello everyone, Jane Foster here. [She takes another deep breath and clears her throat.]

First, I want to apologize for my behavior during the shift. I was, obviously, not myself. If I damaged any property, or feelings for that matter, I'm going to do everything I can to make up for it, I promise. And I really hope that you don't think I'm like that normally. I'm very friendly and I love helping people and making friends.

[If she doesn't stop herself she'll ramble on with profuse apologies, so she pauses and moves on.]

Secondly, if anyone has any spare electronics they don't need or want any more, I'd be happy to take them off of your hands. Working or not, it doesn't matter. That includes extension cords and cables too. Just drop them off at my place in the Flame Building. There will be a box outside my door you can leave them in if I'm not home. I'm trying to put something together that I think everyone in Luceti would enjoy. I'll post another message if I manage to pull it off. Thank you!

[She gives a wave as a way of signing off, then the screen goes dark.]

Are you sure about that? I've kinda gotten the impression they're all-knowing and all-seeing. If there's any chance I'd get myself or anyone else in trouble I'd rather just focus my efforts somewhere else. Between the time that Thor first came to Earth and when he came to me in London, I was working with SHIELD trying to recreate the way the Bifrost works. I even created a machine that could partially recreate the bridge, but I could never get it to work fully. My first idea was, if I could get it to work here, I might be able to get all of us back home where we belong.

[There's a pause as his words sink in. Mere projections and not reality? That's beyond disappointing.]

Well, if that's true, and they're not real... that changes my plans considerably.

They had no idea last time until it was too late.

[He'll just leave that one hanging for a moment.]

If I remember correctly, the stars are projected by the barrier.

[Voice]

[searches_forhim]

Yeah, I... wait, what? Last time? What last time?

Re: [Voice]

[complicatedliar]

When you were here before.

I assure you, you were not knitting socks.

[Voice]

[searches_forhim]

When the other me was here.

[She's purposely not asked about that time. She gets the feeling she would end up feeling jealous of herself and that just ties her mind and stomach into knots.]

Was I trying to find a way to go home? Because that's what I was thinking of doing at first.

[Voice]

[complicatedliar]

Yes.

And yes.

[And the not asking about it is why he hadn't mentioned it.]

[Voice]

[searches_forhim]

Care to elaborate on that? What happened?

Re: [Voice]

[complicatedliar]

I'd thought you were rather incurious, since you never seemed inclined to ask me about it before.

[Disappointing.]

[Voice]

[searches_forhim]

I didn't realize there was anything to find out about other than personal stuff. I didn't want to know about how much everyone loved her or misses her.

[And by everyone she means Thor, of course.]

Did she leave work stuff behind that I can see?

[Voice]

[complicatedliar]

[Of course. Only Thor counts. :P] One never knows until one asks.

I have all of the notes that you, I and Tony Stark worked on, as a matter of fact. Somewhere.

[Voice]

[searches_forhim]

That's true. My curiosity tends to get me in trouble, though, so I've been trying to reign it in.

[Unsuccessfully for the most part, but that's not important.]

Can I come over and look at them? Were you close to an end product?

[Voice]

[complicatedliar]

That sounds a most boring way to live. Why would you want to do a thing like that?

[Hrm.]

Yes, you may look at them. We had an end product of a sort.

[Voice]

[searches_forhim]

Probably for the same reason Thor needed to rein in his adversarial nature.

[Because it can get you in trouble.]

Is now a good time? I can come over.

Re: [Voice]

[complicatedliar]

[Life without trouble is boring and pointless.]

Because he tried to destroy planets every time someone insulted his manhood?

I think your manhood is doing just fine, Jane.

[Voice]

[searches_forhim]

I... Thanks?

[It is possible to have an ego and not associate it with being a man, is it not? She's sensing some sort of sexist argument brewing in the back of her mind.]

[Voice]

[complicatedliar]

You are most welcome.

[Ehehehe.]

[Voice]

[searches_forhim]

And on that note I'll go before this turns weird.

See you later, Loki.
