When was the last time he powered up?
Loke squinted as he perched on a rooftop, legs dangling over the edge. January... 2017? Maybe? Ish? He wasn't even sure anymore. Sometime around then. Months, years, would often go by between his uses of the pen that haphazardly sat on his dresser. Most of the time, it was covered by clothes or papers. Sometimes it got moved to the side table by his bed. Sometimes he actually carried it with him for a few days.
It'd been a random thought when he picked it up that evening, just a let's see what happens and boom there he was. He wasn't looking that much different in the uniform, he figured, and it took him a little while to get used to the feel of it again. But he was up there, leaping along rooftops and jumping alleyways without too much fear.
He just didn't know what was going on anymore. He... considered looking for some of the mirror spots he used to know, using the compact mirror he kept in a pouch on his hip to maybe contact Rem. Or... uh. Who else did he know?
That's what had the Dark Mirror Senshi seated and squinting at the lights of the city. Mjolnir was another he'd met. Who else? Andronicus, but she was a knight. Varuna. He winced a little as he thought of her. He'd been s**t at trying to keep in contact. It required effort to power up and do that. He'd... not made the effort. Cuz he was a jackass.
But the more he thought on it, the more he groaned and even laughed somewhat at himself. He didn't have people to contact.
Not that he was surprised by this.
The longer he lingered though, the more he became surprised that he sensed another of the court. It drifted along the edges of his senses, and he perked up, brows furrowed and momentarily debating but... what else was he going to do? It wasn't strong enough to maybe be Rem. Had to be a ******** of other senshi that'd awakened since he vanished, right?
Pushing himself up onto his feet, he chased after it, curious and... for the moment, actually had a purpose to remain as Loke instead of drifting away as Devlin.
