[action / voice] backdated to the 16th
[Billy wakes up for the first time since the portal drama feeling nauseous, exhausted, and heartsick: sort of like waking from a long nightmare, only he can't recall dreaming at all. Instead of being at home in his own world and his own bed, he's still in Luceti, and what's worse is that he's alone. His magic doesn't seem to be working, either. Panic sets in, and... well...
After a bit of trouble-at-home, and a resolution that leaves him feeling even more weary, the reality of his (or rather, their) situation really sinks in: the portal didn't work. And while none of the people involved in the execution of said plan are in any great state of being today, he seems to be the only one who's up and talking and available to explain the situation to the general public (at least, to those who didn't witness what a spectacular disaster it was), and that leaves announcing it up to him.
Unfortunately.
He delays it as much as he feels that he can, perusing the journal in the desperate hope that someone else has done it for him, then wondering if it would be better to wait for someone more in-the-know to do it, until finally he steps up to the plate. Now or never.]
...Hey everyone. I'm sure a lot of you already heard, but for those that haven't, Tony and Jane's big escape portal didn't work. It kind of backfired yesterday, and...
[His voice trails off in the beginnings of a more distraught tone, so he pauses to compose himself.]
Nobody died? I mean, we've got that going for us. For what it's worth. But no one went home, either. The whole thing was a bust. No point in even keeping it a secret anymore.
One last thank you to everybody who gave up their mission points to get parts for it, though. I don't think it was a waste or anything - I mean, trying's better than sitting around and doing nothing, and something definitely happened, so we at least pushed a few of their buttons - but...
[Ugh, why did he think this was a good idea?]
...sorry it wasn't what we thought it would be. That's all.
[After that he really just wants to curl up in bed and pretend to be unconscious for the next several days, but that's not particularly responsible, so he'll have to settle for making it a few hours instead. It's the little things in life.]

[The tone of Loki's voice is an excited one. There is a long silence before sounds are audible of Loki gathering things. His voice sounds far away when he talks again]
Thor, I shall take your pillows as well! Please do not fret, I will return them before you are even able to miss them, yes?
Billy! Are you in need of this fizzy drink? It is sweet but it leaves a tingle on the tongue. It is not shaken milk. In fact, I would advise not to shake it at all.
[voice]
I'll never say no to fizz. Bring it over, I'll get some extra snacks.
[voice]--> [action]
Billy, I notice there is a severe lack of soft pillow-y objects inside this apartment. I will come to your apartment now to leave them there. Please inform Teddy about the fortress.
[After that he shuts the journal and within no time an fair amount of pillows will be stacked up in front of the door of Billy's apartment.]
[action]
...Loki? Oh my god, where did you get all of these.
[action]
[Loki plops a blanket on top of the pile.]
I am very excited about this social activity, Billy of New York.
[action]
Well, I'm happy you're happy. It's seriously been ages since I did this- not since I was back home with my little brothers.
[action]
[Loki admires the pile for a moment before he moves to help Billy with carrying everything inside his apartment.]
Then it is about time you should indulge yourself with a fortress of pillows again, Billy. I think it is a case of emergency.
[action]
[action]
Hmmm. Well, it is closer to the snacks.
[He puts his hands on his hips and drops the pillow again.]
Aye! Lets do this. And do invite Teddy Altering Man. He is able to change into me and I need to sit between you both.
[After that he picks up a couple of pillows and trots to the end of the hallway, where the kitchen is.]
[action]
Why do you keep calling him that, anyway? I mean, for a nickname it's technically accurate, but...
[action]
It is an accurate name...but... It is not accurate at all? Please explain.
[He thinks it is an excellent nickname for Teddy, actually.]
[action]
[action]
[After that he trots off to the kitchen to put the pillows down.]
[action]
[If Loki has no protests, he'll head back into the apartment after depositing his pillow pile, aiming for Teddy's room.]
[action]
Aye!
[He gives Billy a thumbs up before he starts sorting out the pillows with great dedication.]
[action]
Once he walks into the kitchen, he's carrying three pillows of his own with ease, and he seems to be murmuring quietly to Billy (something sweet, most likely, judging by the look he's giving him while he says so) before he lifts his head and inclines it to Loki in greeting.]
Hey! So, fort time?
[action]
Definitely fort time. But first I think Loki has a question for you.
[action]
Fort time indeed!
[He nods.]
Billy of New York, I always have questions. But apparently I have a question for you, Teddy Altering Man.
Have you brought the top for on your lap?
[action]
Top for... Oh! Yeah. [He drops his own pillows, letting the laptop that was under his upper arm slide down to his fingers instead.] Top for your lap, right here. And movies to last us the whole night.
[action]
[Billy takes the laptop from Teddy and goes to get it set up so Loki can chat it up with Mr. Altering-Man himself.]
[action]
[Loki has never heard of the title. But then again, some movies are still unknown to him.]
Teddy Altering Man, can you change into me again?
[action]
[The request, however, gets him to pause.]
... Why?
[action]
[Loki looks up.]
Because it was rather cool.
