lacksconviction[He takes his time before introducing himself, establishing the purpose of this place, the fact that his magic definitely was depleted and not coming back by any means known to him, and weighing up the odds of his escaping by the usual means, before deigning to make his first journal entry. He has taken off his ridiculous supervillain hat, for effect:]
My my, is this not an ambitious effort? Certainly, a more elaborate one than the last chamber in which I was imprisoned. To whose hospitality do I owe my gratitude, may I ask? Which one-eyed wolf has clamped these strange jaws around my throat?
[He smiles, but it's unconvincing. His eyes look strangely pained.]
Or perhaps I expect too much in assuming this a prison, rather than an arsenal of purloined weapons, or a vault to hold the spoils of war?
[A slight pause, before he decides he's giving away far too much, and clicks the communicator off.]

--And who was he fighting with over your imprisonment?
Private
Date: 2012-06-11 07:52 pm (UTC)I may have also neglected to ask nicely before I did so.
[He admits this with just a twinge of amusement in his voice. He's fine with her thinking he's a thief, after all, her ledger is dripping red, and admitting a small crime may let the large one slip past unseen.]
He was fighting the people of another world. They had taken me hostage as a child, and I had slipped from their grasp some time earlier. It's why I first passed through the gateway to your world. I sought... a new horizon, far from them.

Date: 2012-06-11 07:56 pm (UTC)What world? [A thief, an alien army, these will be just great things to report when she gets out of here.] Where did you hide it?
Private
Date: 2012-06-12 11:23 am (UTC)I hid the tesseract beneath the earth, where any failure in my safety measures would be far from human lives.
[Get on Mr. Technically not lying today.]
Private
Date: 2012-06-12 07:53 pm (UTC)And when were you intending to dig it up and hand it over?
Private
Date: 2012-06-13 10:40 pm (UTC)As soon as I knew it could be safely opened, of course! I had a mind to take it to Mr Stark at his great monument, actually, since he's so gifted in such matters...

Date: 2012-06-15 08:21 pm (UTC)It seemed a fitting place to return the tesseract...
[Complete innocence. He's not feeding an ego he's just talkin' about a big thing Tony Stark built it's not like he's buttering anyone up by praising members of their puny human race...]
Private
Date: 2012-06-15 09:13 pm (UTC)And how do you know Stark?
Private
Date: 2012-06-15 09:19 pm (UTC)I found him to be quite exhilarating company, really. I'll admit though, there were times when I envisioned myself hurling him bodily out of the window...

So, you are a warden here, I take it?

Date: 2012-06-15 10:27 pm (UTC)[Yes. Yes she can. :c]
Private - they are totes not pointed ones :c
Date: 2012-06-15 10:44 pm (UTC)[Enjoy a long, long pause, like he really doesn't want to answer.]
My Captivity was not in a sealed cell. I resisted. People who had no hand in my imprisonment beyond serving those who did... suffered, from my resistance.
[There's another short pause, and he looks away, suddenly. His eyes suddenly look watery and there's sincere distress in his expression.]
They were complicit. Our acquaintance-- the acquaintance that I have with you, who has for your own part forgotten me entirely, entitles you to no more than that.
Private - no not at all :c
Date: 2012-06-16 03:15 am (UTC)I'm sorry.
[It isn't overly emotional, just sympathetic to be believable. She's assuming he knows enough of her that being overly expressive would just be written off.] For what you went through. And that you're here. I'll leave you alone. [Lol no she won't. :|]
Private
Date: 2012-06-19 01:12 am (UTC)[He's curt. Still unhappy in his tone, because to relax again too quickly would make his deceit too obvious...
Christ, these two jerks.]
