EARTH-11 ♔ JUST ISN'T HOW I ENVISIONED IT

WHO || Wanda, Malina, Caroline, Jordan, Alex, Loki, Jane, Darcy, YOU
WHAT || The Knights wake up after a mission in Saudi Arabia with the worst kind of hangover.
WHERE || Earth-11
WHEN || End of 2016
HOW || As you like it; mission in individual top-threads, actionspam.
It's hard to notice right away. For the most part, everything looks normal. The toilets flush in the right direction. The sky's still up. The buildings are still scraping the clouds. But something about it feels wrong, and the details come in waves.
The first wave is that no one is in the castle, or in England, or even in Saudi. It's hard to tell where they are, except it's close to the equator. Warm. Sunny. And a city. Maybe they're lucky. Maybe someone's there to greet them, if not in this bed that isn't theirs, then in this apartment that isn't theirs, or this house.
But out in the streets, things get stranger. Gone are the gleaming glass and metal frames of the skyscrapers, replaced with statuesque marble shaped into hellenic curves. Everything is bright colors and bronze. The metal coins people trade for currency have a wolf's head stamped on them, valid only in the Republic of Midgard.
The world is wrong. And no one but those in the room with Loki and Jordan seem to remember why.
[ ooc note; WHILE THE SAUDI ARABIA MISSION wraps up their encounter with Loki, everyone is invited to play in the whackadoodle AU that Loki created by making Jordan grant his wish to rule a world full of all the things Loki desires, where Thor is nowhere to be found. Consider this your dystopian/framework/everyone's dead AU event. Please note that only mission characters will remember the events of Earth-11, as they've only been transported to a parallel universe. Everything you play is for fun, not for character arc. ]

As she does, the sound of a fist fight breaking out between about ten humans on the opposite side of the arena from them. Something the guards should probably go investigate.
If that doesn't work, maybe they can con their way in, but this avoids them actually having to talk to people. Malina is not in the mood.]

The spell only lasts a minute or so, let's move quick.

but there's sure a shirtless thor toweling off. you're all welcome. ]

Finally, though, she calls out.]
Thor?
[Sure, it's probably not smart just to say it, but her wisdom check was horrific and, well, at least it'll tell them what they want to know right away?
Fingers crossed he recognizes her.]

Can I help you?
no subject
Yes. Actually, I think you're the only person who might be able to help us. Is there somewhere...private where we could all talk?
[Before someone catches them and kicks them out of here.]
no subject
[ there's not much in the way of privacy down here, but he leads them to a small alcove at least. ]
no subject
Hopefully Jane and Alex will be able to get through to him.]
no subject
Soooo ... first of all, I gotta ask, what are your thoughts and feelings about Loki?
no subject
no subject
[She seems less than impressed with him.]
The Douchebag in Chief.

[How are they even supposed to convince him.]
You don't even remember Asgard, do you?
no subject
no subject
Maybe we have. Or maybe we just think you have the potential to be more than King Douchebag's Prize Colosseum Monkey.

[She's felt more than that, but that was the crux of it.]
Loki is your brother. And he took everything away from you, he took our lives away from us, and he kept everything for himself. We need to set things right, but we can't do it by ourselves. He's too strong.
[Speaking of Diplomacy, nat 20 (23 total)]
Please, you have to believe me.
no subject
I don't understand what would drive anyone to invent such a tale. But what you say... how can it be true?
no subject
[As if that explains everything.]
He made a wish and made all of this possible. Everything, exactly as he wants it. I don't know why it didn't affect us, too.
