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.]

I've never met the admiral, but I'd somehow assumed he had the normal compliment of eyes.

Ultimately your captor is the Admiral. He rarely speaks and is not seen.

Date: 2012-06-11 05:11 pm (UTC)Yes, it should be quite an interesting one, at that.
[Thrawn's red eyes are glittering at you Loki. That's a lovely way of viewing this.]
As others have explained, and shall no doubt continue to explain, I shall skip the basics.
Welcome to the Barge, I am Thrawn.

Date: 2012-06-11 05:23 pm (UTC)I was on earth, with two worlds ready to lay claim to me as I fell. I mean to know which conspired to entrap me here?

[There's a short pause and then a few exploratory clicks, and then...]

[...and then the pink of his flesh frosts over into blue, and his own red eyes stare back at Thrawn.]
I am Loki, Slayer of Laufrey, and Prince of Asgard.
[Yes he's expecting this to mean something to you, since you're clearly a frost giant.]

Date: 2012-06-11 05:29 pm (UTC)I've long accepted that his notion of order doesn't match Jurisdiction Fleet, so what he means the rank to be I couldn't say.
Chief Stildyne, by the by, which isn't any kind of real rank aboard. Warden, rehabilitative duties, unassigned.

Date: 2012-06-11 05:33 pm (UTC)And that's a feeling of power. All the same.]
How can I tell you you're not being held by the same people again?
[Don't match wits with Loki Hoffman. Only bad will come of this.]

[Loki has Thrawn's complete attention.]

Date: 2012-06-11 05:46 pm (UTC)Who is the Admiral? What cause does he serve?
no subject
Date: 2012-06-11 05:52 pm (UTC)[He's quiet for a moment, processing this.]
So, you are one of our keepers here? Then you can tell me by what authority I am imprisoned.
no subject
Date: 2012-06-11 05:56 pm (UTC)If you don't know the answer from what I've said already, then you're beneath my concern, either way.
[He don't trust you bro. Oh no he don't.]

Date: 2012-06-11 06:02 pm (UTC)I see. So Fury won, when they drew lots for my containment. Are you here in hopes of me baring some strange truth again, Ms Romanov?
no subject
Date: 2012-06-11 06:03 pm (UTC)So much for that. His hands fold.]
If it has not been answered, then you're being held by the admiral, an otherworldly being who grabs people from different places to give them a second chance.

no subject
Date: 2012-06-11 06:05 pm (UTC)I'm not your keeper. Unless I'm assigned you particularly, my authority extends as far as my safety or the barge's at large.

Date: 2012-06-11 06:08 pm (UTC)Uh, you're losing me. Are we talking about angry one-eyed wolves, now? And my name is Reese, Nicole Reese.
[Private]
[But he still knows Fury's name, and hers, and that's enough to convince her she can't just play dumb.]
Who are you?
[Private]
Date: 2012-06-11 06:10 pm (UTC)Relax, apart from maybe three people here these guys are cocksuckers and ants. Worthless.
