yaaaayyyy canon update

[mistruths]

WHAT in person
WHERE Heavenly Grounds (or, you know, wherever everyone else when this happens)
WHEN ...119??
NOTES Infinity War update, so expect spoilers if you click in

[ It's some time in the day when Heavenly Grounds is normally closed, so that's not a surprise. But then, the earth suddenly seems to heave beneath your feet. It's an brief, sudden, earthquake-like thing with HG as the epicenter?! For the magically inclined, it'll be clear there was some sort of magical shockwave, and for the non-magically inclined... Well. I mean, it's hard to miss the way the earth suddenly moved.

Also, there's a sudden thunderstorm. A really, really big one. Again.

Heavenly Grounds looks...normal? from the outside? But if you walk inside, the entire seating area of the cafe has been destroyed and in one corner is a gigantic pile of quilts and furs and pillows...??? ]


(( for the cast, it's up to you if you want the update to be when you were hit by his magic or when you cross the threshold or if you just want to wait IDK DO WHATEVER YOU WANT this is for aaall of us ))

[mistruths]

[ loki's essentially forced himself into the corner, practically hyperventilating as he struggles to control his breathing. despite clearly having dressed neatly for the day (AS HE DOES) he looks like a wreck, his hair messy and his face sallow ]


(( gonna turn off notifs so just hmu here or link me if you want loki! ))

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[he can hear Thor rushing around, thunder blaring. Yelling]

Loki! LOKI, where are you?!

[coldhand]

[Um. Well.

Bucky shows up here because it seemed like a likely place to find someone who knows what the hell this is all about. Tony and Loki have a lot of intel on this place...

What she finds almost keeps her outside.

Almost.]

Bad time...?

[She's holding together, but there's something shaken behind her eyes.]

[divasterous]

[I heard someone say clear source of magic bullshit]

Loki!?

[selfidentitytheft]

[sticking his head around the door of the shop, skittering in place without quite actually entering. that sure is a giant thunderstorm out there.]

Loki— sir!? Are you okay?

[dranksforthememories]

[Brunnhilde shows up right on Thor's heels, honestly—and stops awkwardly in the doorway.

They deserve this moment.

Instead of heading in she goes back outside, stomps to the corner, and rips the nearest stop sign out of the ground. It respawns immediately, but now she has a convenient polearm to shove people back with if they try to interrupt her princes. She won't stay out there forever, but she's going to at least give them a minute.]

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

[im going to FIGHT your dumb stop-sign wielding bodyguard and get CRUSHED if someone doesn't let me in!!]

Loki!

[starspangledman]

[so EVENTUALLY Steve is making his way over to Loki, a little cautious but mostly Tired]

So Thor and Bruce told me.

[appliedscience]

[ SOME TIME HAS PASSED, and Tony walks into the shop, drenched from rain and looking like he doesn't particularly care. He drags a chair up to sit where Loki has made 800 mochas ]

I don't think I need to ask.

[aahiyaaaaaa_ah]

[THUNDER STORM, SORRY EVERYONE!!! if you want to search out the source of the SUDDEN ABSOLUTE MAELSTROM... Hes on his knees underground in his half built club]

[coldhand]

[Bucky was looking for someone who knows what's going on. She's not sure she found that, but... does seem like she's not the only one affected.

She approaches carefully.]

We all okay in here?

[anoceanaway]

[this is familiar, but also, still not great]

Ah!?

[starspangledman]

[Steve will eventually make his way there, quiet and subdued]

Thor . . .

[dranksforthememories]

[she was on her way to the club when the wave of magic reached her, and she had to stop and catch herself on the wall for a minute while thunder raged around, but now she is absolutely booking it the rest of the way down there. running down the stairs takes far too much time, she just vaults them, racing to Thor, stumbling, skidding to a stop at his side]

Your Majesty—

[coldhand]

[Bucky's in the apartment she shares with Steve when the magic hits. Like a force that half lifts her off the ground.

And then, just for an instant, something strange Like she can feel herself physically both there and not there, real and unreal, in a manner disturbingly similar to what HYDRA had done to her mind at times. Not painful, just... not.

Then it passes, and with it, memories. And confusion. She calms down the dog before heading out, looking for anyone who might know what's going on.]

[starspangledman]

[Steve somehow misses her in the apartment, but he comes chasing after a while later, probably finding her in Heavenly Grounds]

Bucky . . .

[thatsoundsfakebutokay]

...are you all right?

[starspangledman]

[as soon as the shockwave hits Steve he starts to...blur almost, both there and not there. He stabilizes, looking different, stricken, before he abruptly takes off running back towards his apartment]

[divasterous]

[whoops, there he go?]

[is just heading home as well, when—wait. wait, is that.]

S-Steve—?

[dranksforthememories]

[they almost collide]

Rogers! Have you seen Thor? Or Banner— what's on your face?

[dranksforthememories]

[the Valkyrie catches herself against the wall when the wave hits, but moments later she's off running full tilt]

[sclash]

[ He loses his footing and lands on his ass with a groan ]

What the hell was that?

[mistruths]

[ LATER the brothers are still pretty wrapped up in each other, but he remembers!! that she had something. so now he has thor with him and they have Found Her! ]

There you are.

[appliedscience]

[ Dont mind Tony, who has suddenly dropped where he was standing on the patio of Heavenly Grounds and is now crouched and having what appears to be a panic attack.

It's fine. ]

[coldhand]

[Yeah, that's kind of the feeling, isn't it?

Bucky stops short of touching him. They're not really on touching terms.]

You too...?
