[Video, shortly after midnight]

[professorwolf]

[What begins as merely trying to catch a meteor on record for his own personal interest and for various friends rather quickly became something else entirely. And Lyall spent a few minutes afterwards figuring out how to upload what he caught on his device onto the network.

So everyone gets a nice video of the second two thirds of that falling object's trajectory, and a couple seconds of the beginnings of a warm glow on the horizon. Then they get Lyall coming on the screen right after. He's out in the more local woods, dressed only in his coat, and looking a little bit rumpled, for once. His voice, however, is a bit deadpan as he speaks to the practical and pointedly doesn't mention the bit about the thing from space.]

I believe there may be a fire starting in the western forest. If there are still Authorities monitoring this channel, someone may wish to be dispatched to contain it, unless there isn't much risk of it spreading too far.

Aye, fire shouldn't bother him overmuch, either. I'll send him along.

[And then he'll have an in to finding out what's afoot. Bwahaha, etc.]

[professorwolf]

Very good. I suppose if anyone needs anything, they can ask me, but I'm not likely to be organizing any trips myself.

[attention_wenches]

If my brother goes along, such things fall to me if I want to keep him in some kind of order. You needn't worry.

[professorwolf]

You seem very young for taking all that on your shoulders. Thank you.

[And Lyall sounds approving about it, too. Here, Loki, have an older gentleman who thinks, despite your lack of an introduction, that you're apparently doing the right thing anyway. Even if the organization may or may not go through, since y'know, teenager.]

[attention_wenches]

[At this age and knowing what he does of the possible future, Loki operates as a natural beta. No wonder.]

I suspect there'll be at least some general interest for such an event, but at least I can arrange for Thor.

[professorwolf]

It's a start, at least. Good luck with it-- ah, I don't believe I caught your name?

[Well, he knows who it is, given he knows the name of Thor's brother, but he's a proper gentleman. He wants to be introduced, even if Loki is forced to do it himself.]

[attention_wenches]

Loki.

[He still hasn't decided what ought to be done with his patronymic, but he figures an outsider won't notice.]

Thank you.

[professorwolf]

Quite welcome. Do let me know what you all find, if it isn't to much trouble?

[Someone else probably will, too, but he's curious of Loki here will, anyway.]

[attention_wenches]

I'll try and take notes as best I can, but I wouldn't be surprised if I were kept a bit busy.

[Why would he ever miss a chance to be pedantic?]

[professorwolf]

[Neither would Lyall, so you're in good company, Loki.]

Whatever you can manage will be fine, I'm sure. I'd best be heading back to the city, if I want to get there before dawn. I'm sure I'll see you about, Loki.

[attention_wenches]

In all likelihood. If you're having trouble, I'm usually lurking about the library in my spare time.

[professorwolf]

And I make a visit there at least once in a weekend, so that will be simple, indeed.

Good night, then, Loki.

[He tips his head, in place of his missing hat, then disconnects so he can see about getting changed back to wolf form for the run home.]
