[eyesofthebifrost]

[Something gold glinted in the sun near one of the many lakes on the Eastern quarter. Kneeling at the water's edge, a giant in gilded armor removed a glove to dip a cupped hand into the cold water. His horned helm was already off, set to the side where he could reach it easily. With it was the small, hand-held, flat-screen computer that he had found upon arrival. His sword however remained in it's sheath at the warrior's back.]

[Bringing it up to his face he smelled, then slurped the water from his hand. A branch snapped nearby and the giant's eyes slid around to the side toward the noise. Rising up to his feet, he turned toward the sound. He didn't reach for his weapon, not yet at least.]

[But he was ready to.]

Hello?

[ACTION]

[mercury_gaze]

[The little girl that peeks at him is very glad he's not yet pulled his weapon.]

Hello...

[eyesofthebifrost]

[He blinks down at girl-child, then searches the area behind her. Is she what she appears? And if so, what is a child doing out here without someone to watch over her?]

[She is so small, he makes the decision to drop back down upon one knee to see and speak to her a bit easier.]

There you are. I thought I'd heard something. [His head tilts as he regards her closely.] Are you out here alone, little one?

[mercury_gaze]

[Giants don't frighten her...her "uncles" are giant robots, so the simple act of going back down on one knee is enough to have her relax and give him a little smile.]

Yes. Did you just get here?

[eyesofthebifrost]

[His head nods slowly and he gives her the start of a smile in return for her own].

Indeed I did. Do you know this area well?

[mercury_gaze]

[She nods.] You're in Nautilus, the East part of the city.

[tricksterofasgard]

[ The one stepping into view may not exactly be who Heimdall has expected to see. Not here. Probably nowhere at all. Especially not now. Loki's eyes briefly linger on the branch he has used quite intently to catch the gatekeeper's attention, but he looks up from the dead piece of wood and towards the other Asgardian, meeting his eyes in a cautious, calculating way. ]

Greetings, Heimdall.

[ The words are spoken in a controlled manner and Loki slowly steps further forward, his hands yet by his sides. Though the way he slowly clenches them into fists and opens them again is a telling one: Loki isn't too pleased to see the other here.

When he speaks again, fine traces of venom are laced into his words. Heimdall... Remains one he isn't too eager to forgive. ]

I see you heeded Nautilus' Call.

[eyesofthebifrost]

[Ah, of course. For a moment Heimdall gives thought that it was Loki's power that concealed a world from his vision - but no, that idea is dismissed almost as soon as it appears in his mind. Rather that something on the world has taught Loki to conceal himself. It is a premise that makes more sense. And it is something that Heimdall shall think long and hard about in time to come.]

Ah, Loki. [The gold eyes glitter, although Heimdall's tone remains casually controlled. Always controlled.]

I see that the reports of your demise are exaggerated yet again.

[And this is a good time to put his glove back on. Prelude to drawing his sword, of course. The last time they spoke it was not amicable, to say the least.]

[tricksterofasgard]

[ That never disturbed calm and Heimdall's endless control are easy ways to rile Loki up in ways he has almost forgotten about. There is the briefest frown on his face, giving further emphasis to the tension between his brows for about a moment. ]

Actually-

[ He idly notices that the glove comes back on and understands the meaning of this action. ]

-I have not yet died where I am from. Or when I am from, if that makes any sense to you.

[eyesofthebifrost]

Actually -

[And there he goes, bending to lift up his helm and then slide it down over his close-cropped hair]

No it doesn't. Care to explain it to me? I am not quite sure of what you mean.

[tricksterofasgard]

[ The helm being put back in place earns Heimdall a small grimace, but that is about it. ]

Nautilus has called me from a different point in time.

[ He lightly raises a brow as he goes on. ]

Where I come from, I am neither dead, nor have I been locked up in the dungeons yet. Though I have been told of these future events to await me shall I return.

[ace_of_hearts]

Hello!

[Bows.]

My name is Portgas D. Ace. Or just Ace. How can I help you?

[WEIRDEST RANDOM DRIVE-BY TOUR GUIDE EVER.]

[eyesofthebifrost]

[The bow is returned, though slowly as if the one making the bow is unsure as to how low to go]

Greetings, Portgas Ace. I am Heimdall of Asgard and I, [No, no he is not going to say lost.] I find myself in a place I have never been before. Is there perhaps a central location here? Someplace safe, and somewhere I could perhaps find a astronomical map?

[He knew the stars. If he could see a map, he could perhaps correlate where he was in relation to them.]

[ace_of_hearts]

Yup! Both! Well, not really the star map, but let me see...

[Pulls out the map and guide.]

But if you're like my friend and get lost easily, I can help you find your way anywhere you want to go here.

[eyesofthebifrost]

[He accepts the map with a nod, and begins to glance to one side and the other, lining himself up with the points on the map that look familiar. And then there is something on the map, something that makes his brow furrow, and his eyes look up.]

There is a 'Little Asgard' here? [His finger points to the place, somewhere north of where they are standing.]

What place is this?

[ace_of_hearts]

Yeah. Loki's place. [LINE FACE.] But his Mom is there too. You just want directions or help getting there?

[curiousasadog]

[The noise is coming from multiple directions as several wolf-like creatures approach. They move towards each other once they hear Heimdall's call.]

Hei, stranger!

[A single human voice, seemingly coming from the group.]

I did not startle you, did I? I was not trying to sneak up on you.

[eyesofthebifrost]

[Startle him? No, of course not. That's why his glove is back on, and his helm has been swept up and placed back on his head. However he has not reached for his sword, not yet. He is standing ready to however.]

[At least until he hears words, not barks or snarls, actual words coming to him from the group of wild wolves.]

[He stands silent for several seconds, thinking. Coming to a decision the warrior's stance changes slightly. Easing his guard.]

In fact, you did. I am used to hearing the approach of others from much further off. And - are you several, with one to speak? Or are you one with several bodies?

[curiousasadog]

[The wolves grin- not in a menacing way, but pleased, if Heimdall can tell.]

One person with several bodies! All members are part of my voice, or else it would not be as good as it is.

[He cocks his heads.] Do you normally have supernatural hearing levels? That might be why you did not hear me. Nautilus removes your powers when you arrive.

[eyesofthebifrost]

[Heimdall can well see the advantages to having several bodies, several pairs of eyes to see and ears to hear. Though he has never thought of the necessity for such things before.]

Hearing and sight. Once I could see...

[he goes silent, his eyes rising up to the sky. There are stars up there. And planets beyond them. And more stars even further on. At one time he could see them as easily as he could see his hand. At one time he could hear the sap move in the trees. Now he can not even hear several beings until they were well within battle range. Heimdall not only feels lost in this place, he feels blind and deaf as well.]

[No time to think of his losses now, he can do that later. Later when he has found someplace safe to think on this, this Nautilus. The big man shakes his head, returning to the conversation.]

Once I could see and hear much more than now. Do you have a name, or something I may call you? I myself am Heimdall, of Asgard.

[curiousasadog]

[Having several bodies and being able to see things from multiple angles at once is a blessing. On the other hand, hands. He has none, only mouths and paws.]

Your sight and hearing have not vanished completely, have they? Only the heightened versions? You can get them back with Bending. I have not had to restore any abilities, but I do not believe it is difficult when you want them back.

[Back to grins!]

Yes! I am known as Scrupilo, and my species is called Tines. You are Asgardian? You are not the only Asgardian here! Loki has even made a recreation of Asgardian buildings!

[fruitless]

[Oh, wow. This guy is big. Really big - even for the people here! Not as big as some of the robots, Charlie guesses, but definitely big!

He must have really good eyes and ears, too, because Charlie is only a few centimeters tall. Most of the people around here barely notice him enough not to step on him, so this guy must be really paying attention.]

...Hello.

[God, he hopes this guy doesn't want to fight.]

[eyesofthebifrost]

[And now Heimdall is kneeling back down, peering at the ground.]

Hello. Are you native to this place? Can you help me find my way to shelter?

[fruitless]

A native? Me? [ Honestly, Charlie had been sort of hoping that this guy was one of the natives.]

No, I can't even breathe the air here. Sorry pal.

[He taps on his adorable little fish-bowl helmet for emphasis. As stylish as it is, he doesn't wear this spacesuit for fun.]

So I guess you're not a native either, then? I'm Captain Charlie, of the S.S. Drake.

[Without really thinking, he offers his hand forward for a handshake. Smooth, Charlie.]

[eyesofthebifrost]

[Down on his hands and knees, it's easier to see the rather miniscule being in his unusual garb and clear, round helm.]

No, I'm newly arrived here, Captain. I am Heimdall of Asgard. [Is he, is he really trying to shake Heimdall's hand? The larger man raises an eyebrow, looking from the little man to his hand and back again. Cautiously, slowly he stretched out his hand, palm out. The Captain can slap it or not as he chooses

Have you been here long?
