..Friday...

"Getting adjusted to this life is a bit more...difficult...than I originally thought," Loki said. "Including video diaries."

Loki sighs.

"I have realized, after much thought and contemplation, that I was not able to do what I wanted to do with limited magic," Loki said. "I have no magic what so ever left to use. It seems what I had left was used to conduct a spell." Loki clears his throat. "I have seen the ruins of what remained of Los Angeles and places once full of life now left discarded, rusty, and full of death."

Loki slides his hands down the side of his face seemingly sick.

"I feel sick thinking back," Loki said. "Everyone seems to be adjusted to this change in life."

The screen sizzles.

"Loki, there's a man wanting to speak with you!"

Loki turns away.

"I am coming!" Loki calls back, then turns towards the camera. "John told me it would be much useful for me to bring this....little piece of gadgetry with me as I go along to help me become adjusted to this new era." Loki goes through his hair. "Well," A smile grows on his face. "Let's see who is inquiring me to come out."

Loki picks up the gadget that sizzles.

The view goes from side to side.

"Hahahaha!" O'Chase laughs, as Loki walks by.  "You are so unlucky."

"The Fish Watcher!" Frank Hollow said, with a laugh.

"Hi  Frank," Loki mutters.

Loki goes into a room where the screen stops moving staring right at a figure with a hammer in his hand.

"'Where have you been for the past 33 years?" Came Thor's first question.

"Time traveling," Loki said.

"Asgard needs you," Thor said.

"No, it does not need a Demigod!"  Loki said. "Asgard is  in the right hands."

"Father passed two days ago," Thor said. "I am not the one who should be crowned."

Loki sighs.

"Brother, don't lie to me like that," Loki said. "Father is well alive--"

"I am not lying," Thor said, flatly interrupting Loki.  "I have refused to be coronated."

"Thor, I am not the best condition to be crowned king of Asgard," Loki said. "Midgard needs help."

"What kind of help is more important than the realm you were raised on?" Thor asks.

"My future, my past, and Knight," Loki said. "I left a note regarding my absence."

The door opens behind Loki.

Loki turns towards the sound of the door opening making the camera jerk.

"Oh," Knight said. "You."

Loki turns towards Thor.

"Is there I am not aware of?" Loki asks, noticing the eyes of daggers towards Knight in Thor's eyes.

"Yes," Thor said. "You returned and she did not alert me. She made a word of promise to me that she will tell when you returned."

"Uh huh," Loki said.

"I have been busy," Knight said. "If you were any better I would have thought the god of thunder cared about mortals."

"Don't say that," Thor said.

"Say the truth?" Knight asks. "I cannot stand by and idly tell you when someone returned when you did nothing. Nothing after HK's were ,sent out, the T-600's roaming the streets, and the humans left behind put into camps!"

"....Is that true?" Loki asks.

"No," Thor lied.

Loki drops the camera and the camera lands on it's side. There is a commotion to which Knight gets into the middle of as we see her boots walk right past. From the tipped over camera we can see Loki is kept back from Thor by Knight  and Thor glaring down upon Loki.   The screen sizzles and the audio is not clear to understand but what had been a fight has been defused.

"You could have done something!" Loki said.

"Father wouldn't allow it," Thor said.

"You could have gone over his head," Loki said.

"But I didn't," Thor said.

"The Thor I knew wouldn't do that," Loki said. "I am not your brother and you know that!"

"But Lok--" Thor starts but Loki interrupts.

"I don't want to hear any buts about that," Loki said. "I am not going to be crowned king of a realm that wouldn't lift a finger to help a very important realm," Knight walks away. "In fact instead of dozing around being depressed about my situation I will be wedding Knight tomorrow." Her boots stop. "The oath of a king is to protect the nine realms not idly watch them fall!"

Knight resumes walking.

"This is why I want you to be the king of Asgard!" Thor said.

"I hereby disown the royal family," Loki said. "And I am not taking that back! You take the throne of your little uncaring civilization while I help this one rebuild!"

Loki turns away then goes out the door.
