VIDEO. UN: LOKI.
Hello there.
[ Loki's standing on the porch of the ashen saloon, black bones against a dusky horizon. ]
Another day saved, another mission over ... [ he says it in an "all in a day's work" sort of tone. a finger twists and he gestures outward. ]
As the story continues! [ the drawl comes from his lips slowly, as if for dramatic effect. ]
We've met our arch-foes, saved a part of the fractured multiverse from apparent destruction and preserved the integrity of the timeline—erm, hopefully on the last two, anyway. In light of current events, and while we all cool down, I thought we'd play with a little fun hypothetical to stimulate conversation. Call it something that's been on my mind. So, riddle me this, Audentes ...
If saving a world meant destroying it—you know, kind of like a hard reset—what would you do? Would you do it, let it die and get coffee instead, or would you fight with tooth and axe for its survival, despite all odds? All methods in between, of course, feel free to be creative.
[ sometimes, some things remind him all too much of Ragnarok. ]

...
I'll preface this with a reminder that B&E is one of my favorite pastimes. The more difficult it is to get into something, the better. My old man has a penchant for ... creative concealment. I like to break it.
Most of the time it works. Enchantments, locks, curses—whatever, I've done it.
[ a pause. ]
Mm, but this ... no one needed to be there to know, to inflict punishment. I was given a warning.
[ in the color of dyed red hands—at least someone had a sense of humor out there. ]

What did you try to break into?
[challenge??? accepted???]

[ there's a dramatic pause. ]
The Mechanical Room.

"The Mechanical Room"?

...
Yes, that.

Sounds like it's asking to be broken into.

It just needs a little gentle coaxing.
