[Loki appears in front of the journal, making sure that its recording.]

Land of Luceti! I have an urgent question for you.

Why isn't this device of communication smaller? Just imagine your garments have pockets and you want to go out and take your device with you.

It will not fit. Because it is shaped like a book. Allow me to demonstrate this.

[Loki stands up.]

Just imagine that I have pockets. Right?

Right!
[And while the journal is recording Loki is proving who ever is watching that one does not simply carry a book in non-existant pockets]

[Patty watches as the journal fails to be carried around in non-existant pockets.]

Hmmm...~ But couldn't you just get bigger pockets? The bigger the fish, the bigger the net you need to capture it!

[Loki shakes his head.]

It is most useless.

What if one is stuck in the forest and requires someone's aid? I am very sure that the horrible creature from the swamp has already eaten you before you can even open this large contraption.

I know this. I have seen this in a Midgardian film.

[Okay, not with journals, but there were definitely swampmonsters involved.]

[ps3pirate]

Swamp creatures are no match for me, ya know!

[ps3pirate]

But... I guess you have a point. Not everyone's a fighter like me. There's plenty of little kids in this village who'd get gobbled up by a swamp creature just like that.

Re: [Video] 2/2

[not_a_troll]

Exactly! Getting this journal to shrink serves a bigger purpose. We shall save all the little children in the land of Luceti!

[Loki has got this all figured out.]

I am always right, you see.

[Video]

[ps3pirate]

[And now Patty is just plain amused.] Are you now?~ Never made a single mistake?

Re: [Video]

[not_a_troll]

[Well, Loki doesn't have the cleanest sheet there... But up to now he is pretty positive he hasn't made any mistake. That, and he's an excellent liar.]

Not one single mistake.

[Video]

[ps3pirate]

My, my! That sure is something! So if you say the books need to be smaller, it must be true! And if you're always right, that must mean you already know the perfect way to make it happen, ya know!

Re: [Video]

[not_a_troll]

[Of course! Loki has got this thing covered.]

It is! It is like the film about the Impossible Mission. But the mission is not that impossible.

And neither is this one.

[Video]

[ps3pirate]

Aye, nothing is impossible! So is it a secret mission, or are you going to explain how it works?

Re: [Video]

[not_a_troll]

First of all we need to take it back to its manufacturer.

[Loki leans closer to his screen as if he is telling a great secret.]

I figure a fighter like yourself could easily clear the entrance. After that I shall use my expert knowledge of sorcery to advance into the building.

[Not that he has any magic or anything...]

[Video]

[ps3pirate]

[Hm... It makes sense, and yet it doesn't.]

I think there's one big obstacle that's going to stop us before we even get to the Malnosso's hideyhole... But seeing as you're always right, I'm sure you already know all about the barrier, eh?

Re: [Video]

[not_a_troll]

[Loki is amazingly good at that, shh.]

Aye!

You should remember, if one can get in, there has to be a way out as well.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune watches the demonstration, and then, with complete seriousness, holds up her simple cloth purse.]

Well, you could find a nice bag to put it in. Then it would be much easier to carry.

[not_a_troll]

I appreciate your effort but a bag would not solve the problem.

[Loki points at the screen.]

When out in the forests, looking fancy would be the last of my priorities.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, don't you think it would work?

[This one is...not exactly Luceti's brightest, sorry to say.]

[not_a_troll]

[This maiden had to be extremely dense.]

Of course bags work. But do they work when you are under attack in the forests? Or when you have to run for your life?

[lostinmyway]

[You have no idea, Loki.]

Why would you be under attack? The woods are very nice.

[not_a_troll]

Why would one not be under attack while exploring the forests? It can happen at any moment.

[lostinmyway]

Can it?

[But she's never had any problems with being attacked at all. Mostly.]

[not_a_troll]

One is particulary dense, maiden.

[Loki pulls a face.]

Maybe, in your case, the journal should be bigger instead.

[lostinmyway]

[Luckily for her, most insults go whistling far above Grune's head. This is no exception.]

Oh, no, that's all right. I like my journal just the way it is!

[not_a_troll]

Did your mother dropped you on your head when you were a mere infant?

[lostinmyway]

[Without changing tone--but seemingly without being aware of what she's saying--she replies:] Oh, no. I've never been little.

[not_a_troll]

But you still got dropped on the head, right?

[lostinmyway]

[Grune blinks--and the moment is gone. There goes all hope of getting any sense out of her whatsoever. Whoops.]

Oh, no, my head is just fine.

[not_a_troll]

[Loki is quite amazed at this maiden's stupidity.]

Are you sure? One's head cannot be fine when there is nothing inside of it.

Maybe a cobweb. Right?

[lostinmyway]

[And it's about now that Grune gets the idea this young man is saying some things that are not very good. She always assumes the best of people, but...it's getting to be rather difficult to do so at this point.]

My head is just fine. That's not a very nice thing to say.

[not_a_troll]

[Loki has a hard time not to snicker but keeps his composure. This maiden absolutely has no brains.]

...I am truly sorry.

[...only partially.]

[lostinmyway]

[Just like that, she smiles again.]

It's all right. I'm sure you didn't know any better, that's all.

[not_a_troll]

[Loki smiles back.]

Of course not.

I should think before I speak, right?

[lostinmyway]

Yes, that's right. And then you won't have to worry about hurting anyone's feelings by mistake.

[not_a_troll]

[Well...hurting, isn't this maiden aware of the fact she isn't the brightest one of the bunch? It would only be polite to point out that her head is empty, it might even motivate her to become smarter!

Still, Loki decides not to go into that.]

Aye! I wouldn't want to do that.

[lostinmyway]

[And now she beams. What a nice boy.]

That's right. It's much better to make someone smile.
