[ when it finally clicks, nico refrains from rolling his eyes — how did he end up in the position of needing to be saved? ( sadly, it's a trend that follows those who try to single-handedly and stupidly win a fight, such as nico himself. )

still, he doesn't do anything that might deter the other's plan and brings the shadows around him to shroud himself in darkness. he sure hopes this works because he's not sure how much of a speedy getaway he can make when there's nowhere to go outside this ship.

as the second alien rounds the corner, but doesn't immediately follow into the footsteps of his fellow alien, nico realizes that maybe it'll need a kind of push after all. he disappears into the shadows surrounding him and reappears a little further down the hall that loki had been trying to trick them into running. ]


Looking for me?

[ hopefully, when the second alien starts charging, all he'll have to do is shadow travel back in time. ]

[luckily for them, what Loki's pursuers have in brute strength they lack in brains. it doesn't take much aside from a wet snort before the alien takes the bait and head down the corridor at full speed after Nico.

Loki, who's taken quiet residence in the rafters, is quickly formulating plan C if this doesn't work. (as plan B, plan C was more of the "think on your feet and hope you don't get bludgeoned" plan.) it takes him just a moment to recover from "ah, he can teleport?" to "ah, he can teleport."

(in all reality, it was a simple spell that Loki could most likely learn himself, and that would be all the more useful in these situations. Leah had a few choice insults for him whenever he showed the lack of knowledge for a simple spell. he could learn it if he wanted, he had the abilities and makings of a great sorcery it was more ... well, the whole Loki thing got complicated.)

his eyes go from the alien charging and back to Nico and he crouches up just in case he's needed for another reckless stunt to save the person that ... saved him?

yes, that.

[ there is an alien charging at him. there is an alien charging at him really fast. luckily, nico's instincts kick in faster than his brain does and there's already shadows starting to emerge around him to whisk him away to safety. just before they can though, he can't help but stick his leg out to trip said incoming brute. just as the alien decides to have a nice little fall, nico disappears —

only to reappear in the rafters where loki's been dwelling this whole time. he manages to catch himself just as he's about to lose his balance, but luckily, the alien's got no clue as to where either of them have gone. after a few seconds of confusion, it decides to keep going the way loki had tried to bait it towards. it's only then that nico lets out a soft breath and takes a look at the strangely dressed kid. ]


I don't think it's the last we'll see of them.

[ WHOOP he looks a little startled before letting out the breath he was unaware he was holding. there's a very weak voice that accompanies his words. ]

Don't do that ...

[ but he recovers quickly, sitting up cross-legged. he is ... clad rather strangely, all the way from his tights to the circlet on his head. he's pulling down his hood and looking thoughtful as he closes an eye. ]

Undoubtedly, but we've created a diversion for now. More brawn then brains I'd wager, we've enough time to lickity-split before they realize what's come to pass.

You have my thanks. Your heroics saved me from the most unpleasant pastime of Loki football.

...Sorry.

[ right. of course those outside the demigods weren't used to seeing him pop out of the shadows — and he was pretty sure it made them uncomfortable too. nico looks a bit sheepish, at least, and out of the battle element, it's easy to see he's nothing more than a scrawny teen who really looks like he needs more sleep. ]

We should probably get moving before they decide for round two.

[ he shifts awkwardly, sticking his sword back at his side and shoving his hands in the pockets of his aviator jacket afterwards. nico raises an eyebrow at loki's attire, but it's something else that's more of a pressing question at the moment. ]

You're pretty calm about this.

[ like, didn't mortals usually freak out at the slightest thing ]

Yes, well ...

Being chased by extra-terrestrial brutes certainly beats an undead bloody-mouthed soul-devouring valkyrior, a Hel-hound, and a megalomanic fire giant. There was also that demonic fellow that lacked a shirt. All and all, I suppose I'm doing rather good today. But it is a little depressing when you think about it.

[ he says, like this happens all the time. he shrugs his shoulders, rolls back on his rear before sliding down from the rafters and hitting the floor with a soft thunk. he has to adjust his hood again. ]

But perhaps we should count our blessings before anything of the like decides to show up.

[ he waits for Nico to join him before making magic fingers. ]

In space!

[ he pauses. ]

Where would the fine fellow with the sword be going?

[ woah hold on there tiger ]

You can see hellhounds?

[ suspicion levels are totally levelling up. also he doesn't quite pick up on the difference there, but hey, give it time.

nico follows suit after a moment, jumping down from the rafters and into a roll to cushion his landing. once he's done brushing his jeans off, he's back to regarding loki with some manner of wariness. he's also not going to answer that question until he gets a response to one of his now. ( it's whichever he finds first ftr, he's not picky as long as he starts getting some answers and some progress. ) ]


Who are you anyways?

[personal profile] badnewsboy 2014-07-06 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ wait! people can't see Hel-hounds?

depending how much attention is paid to him, there are a few details that are off. aside from his weird clothing, there's something that's a bit heavier about him. he has a presence that normal mortals don't usually have.

there's a mere moment of hesitation, because, well, this is awkward.
]

Ah—yes. Introductions would be appropriate.

[ Od's blood. ]

I'm Loki of Asgard. Well-met, nice to meet you, and all other appropriate pleasantries extended. Perhaps better circumstances could be had, but meeting an Aesir in battle is good enough of one. Or, my brother would say so ...

[ the reference to loki’s godhood slips by nico, since lol he’s mainly used to dealing with the greek and roman side of things. sadly, neither the name nor the reference to asgard rings a bell either. ]

Nico di Angelo. [ because he is, if anything, polite. even if his guard is still 100% up. ]

And you know that doesn’t really explain anything, right?

Interesting surname.

[ not that he couldn't say the same. ]

We're in space in the middle of a space battle. My identity is the least thing that needs explanation at the moment. The pressing and important matter of this staying alive business and saving the day should take precedence.

We can catch up for a friendly chat over coffee as soon as our safety is assured. We can't let anyone die, eh? That would be terribly unfortunate.

[ he sounds sincere about it. if there's something Loki doesn't really like, it's people dying. ]

Fine.

[ he hates to admit it, but loki does make a good point. it wasn't as if the other boy had proven untrustworthy so far — had helped him even — and whoever he was, whatever kind of mortal or non-mortal he was could be figured out later. ( that coffee chat is definitely being held onto. ) ]

I'm going to head towards whichever place is closer.

[ Loki tugs on his hood a bit absently, taking a quick look down the corridors closest to make sure their pursuers weren't returning. ]

I'm heading toward the Deck of Observation—it seemed of some importance on the part of our sudden announcement. A little something something left in static, eh? I would rather like to see what it was.

[ his curiosity is compelling him, here. ]

To be pulled from the fray and into the fire. Now, if only we had the customary mortal celebratory bacon.
