۞ Like What's Up Neighbour

WHO: Stephen Strange and MF #005 roomies/you?
WHERE: Maurtia Falls and around
WHEN: November, before the world ends
WHAT: Stephen, getting settled in
WARNINGS: Nothing so far.

Closed to Maurtia Falls #005

For most people, arriving somewhere at the end of the world would be a pretty bad day, all in all. But Stephen's seen a lot of stuff lately that there's something almost refreshing about appearing in another world's End Game. At least he's in the right mindset for it.

What is evident to Stephen is that he needs to get to work. There's a lot of ground to cover in a very short space of linear real-time.

When he arrives at the apartment he's been delegated, Stephen (and his cloak) take a brief glance around just to get a general sense of the layout, but after that Stephen makes short work of settling himself on the floor, cross-legged with his device and Time Stone, to get to work, creating a steady loop of time to enable him to go through the network in 15 minute bursts of reading. It's jolting work and each time it takes him longer to get back to the point he started reading from.

Anyone wandering in while he's in the middle of his work is likely to catch him looking a bit like a two frame looping gif, very slight twitching every fraction of a second.

Finally, Stephen doesn't have enough time in his loop to catch up to his mental network bookmark and breaks the effect, slumping with a deep sigh as he rubs his eyes. Some decent headway has been made, but he'll need to start the loop over.

Oh. There's someone there.

"Hi," he offers mildly, dropping his hand to look up, "Guess you'd be one of my roomies, huh?"

Wildcard.
[Come at me with something random, or hit me up on my OOC intro / [plurk.com profile] Kralkatorrik if there's a specific place you'd like to meet Stephen and we can hash out some ideas for a starter :) ]

“Fanfiction.” Loki confirms, a sense of victory settling in at the successful detour he has managed to set Stephen’s mind on.

“Tales written about famous figures by their admirers and published for the world to read.” He gives a brief explanation before adding a little detail “Peter admitted to have written those in past years. Mostly about Stark.” Here, he pauses a moment “And myself.”

Truth be told, if the internet on this world would be the same than the one back on the Earth familiar to them, Loki would have looked those stories up. As it is, he can only attempt to draw parallels from the stories he can unearth here and paint a mental picture from that. Though for the most part he entertains himself by causing further unrest in the ongoing shipping wars.
