Now, I'm sure we've done something like this before sometime ago, but you know how it is; people come, people go, and we get new faces all the time. So it's a little hard to keep track of y'all sometimes.

But here we are, and I've god a question.

There's a good lot of us that got magic in us before ALASTAIR made, ah, any offerings as such. Maybe even got some magic in your world, sure.

Suffice it to say, I got some interest in what kind there is -- and what magic is like where you're from. How it works. The variety, the limits.

Always good to know about the trade elsewhere, as it were.

A man's future is his own to determine.

[Suffice it to say, he hasn't felt like doing any of his old ways in a long time.]

I'm definitely interested in your illusions, but I figure you got more tricks up your sleeve than that. If you're willin' to share.

[mistruths]

How could I not, after all you'd shown me? Though it would be difficult to show you how I fight with magic when we are--here. The library, after all, isn't quite the appropriate place to demonstrate combat abilities and mine are a little more difficult to explain. As for my illusions... They are, the most of them, simple simulacrums that disappear at a touch. I am also capable of changing one being into another--though I suspect you would not welcome a demonstration of that without warning.

[fateality]

I doubt anythin' you turned into would be too alarming for me. [Certainly nothing personal that could get to him. Loki may know his skills, but nothing beyond that.]

Might be hard for a good offensive demonstration, then. Suppose I'll just have to try to keep an eye on you during a fight or somethin'. [Which he can do so, from afar. If need be.]

[mistruths]

[ Loki laughs, dipping his head in a slight nod of agreement. And between one blink and the next, his form has changed to be a perfect replication of Twisted Fate himself. ]

I did mean that I could change your form to appear as though you were another.

[ Even his voice sounds the same. ]

[fateality]

[Oh. That's good. He debates on using his Trickster's Glass to do the same, but he refrains; that's not his magic. Just a tool. There's no reason to reveal that hand. This is Loki's skill alone.]

That ain't half bad, Loki.

So it is shapeshifting, or just like a mask to the eye?

[mistruths]

It is neither, and both. [ He tips the hat with a rakish grin before allowing it to fade away along with Twisted Fate's skin, once more revealing Loki as he actually is. ] Some of my illusions will vanish at a disturbance; others are as real as anything else until I dissolve them.

[fateality]

Is there a way you can explain how you do it? Somethin' like that would make it pretty hard for someone to find you, I'll bet.

[mistruths]

[ drums his fingers briefly against the tabletop before he gives a brief explanation. IT PROBABLY DOESN'T MAKE MUCH SENSE??? idk man the movies don't give me much to work with here shhh ]

It is indeed rather effective for distraction and disorientation.

[fateality]

[i getchu i getchu]

Hmm.

Not sure I could pull somethin' like that off, but I'll have to give it some thought.

In any case, this was a nice eye-opener. Thanks, Loki.

[mistruths]

And my gratitude as well, Twisted Fate, for your willingness to speak of your own craft and past. Not all, after all, would share their knowledge.
