[He recognizes this place for what it is, at least: a lab. Between the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier and the temporary facility that had been built up around Mjolnir in New Mexico, he's seen enough of sterile environments like these to know what they are and what they're for, though he's mildly confused about the contents of this particular lab. The camera is jostled as he fumbles with the device bearing it, giving a blurry and crooked shot of the plans, both foreign and familiar, that fill the hydroponics lab.]

These runes...

[The camera is pointed at the floor as he leans in to examine one of the nearest plantbeds, where Nordic runes have been etched. It's held steady long enough to give the viewer a clear shot of his boots.]

Health and prosperity. Someone has cared for these.

[His voice is low, uncertain; the familiar etchings aren't enough to assuage the anger he feels at being dropped, somehow, into some unknown facility against his will. No mortal prison has ever been able to contain him for long, and this, he is certain, will be no different.

He turns the camera back on himself, but clearly lacks understanding of exactly how it works, as it's not only upside-down, but also zoomed in so close that all it projects is an extreme close-up of his right eye.]

I wish to know who dares to toy with me! Whatever game is being played here, I do not find it to be funny.

I have been told as much already.

[And he doesn't seem to be terribly happy about it, at that.]

An odd prison, this place. I do not understand it.

[No one's really happy about it, she can't say she blames him.]

Yeah, neither do I. I have no idea how they're keeping us inside. And apparently even if you manage to get out and into the forest, you get looped back around so escape is impossible.

[She shakes her head, her own frustration quite clear.]

I don't know that it's even meant to make sense.

It reeks of sorcery most foul.

[Something he has a fair amount of experience with, much to his chagrin.]

That will be difficult to combat, but we must rise against it.

[Sorcery. Right, that's a thing that's actually possible here.]

So far it doesn't seem like there's any way to do that. Not from what I've heard and what I've tried myself. [But then, she doesn't have any magic or anything, so...] But if you can find a way, I think everyone here would want to help.

And what have you tried?

[Curiosity, rather than skepticism. Better to know and avoid traveling the same paths rather than spending their time looking for new solutions.]

I will be certain to let everyone know what I find, should I be successful. Can you tell me how many are here?
