DECEMBER 6TH | VIDEO | UN: LOKI

[selfimage]

[ While the jailbreak ends and everyone goes back to their lives as fugitives, three (four, including another one on another important mission) gods have put it upon themselves to have a kidnapping. There's the familiar face of Michel, placed unceremoniously upright on a stump, a paper bag over his head supporting a cheesy looking inked smiley. Loki, stepping back like she's adjusting a camera, waves a hand toward him in a long, lackadaisical motion. Let no one say that Loki didn't have a flair for dramatics. ]

We've got it in the bag, or so the mortals say. Ah—shall we do introductions?

Everyone! I present the leader of the Order of the Chimera himself, Mister Michel, straight from the slammer. With circumstances as they are, we thought it best that he didn't make a further mess of things. On the more unfortunate side, that makes all of us super double traitors, both to the crown and the Order ... [ jazz hands!!! ] To the least, the history books will name us resourceful ones. ... you know, if they don't erase of us entirely. It has to be something about the job description ...

[ She's not alone, both Thor and Ahad stand behind her, the darkly cloaked Thunderer with his arms folded and Ahad fingering a cigarillo. Loki straightens the lapels of her jacket and gives a long glance back at the two of them. ]

He's been kind of enough to answer a few of our questions, but it's been—ah, less than enlightening.

[ Which is when Thor move forward, arms loosening though his gaze remains hard on Michel. Or at least, his paper bag. ]

He speaks of his gods as if in conference with them. If they find the schism between peoples here unnatural then have them present a solution that is not blotting out the sun and throwing the realm under their care into chaos. [ A growl rumbles in the back of his throat as he paces to one side. ] He could not send a message, as he said, unless he were first a messenger. I would meet with these gods, if they live elsewhere than his excuses.

[ And likely demand they guide their people if things are so dire. Or introduce their faces to Mjolnir, at this rate, instead of letting one of a pair of brothers lapse into magic-fueled madness … not that Thor is personally touched by any of this, no. ]

[ Meanwhile, Ahad simply sighs, remaining in his position in the background. There's one further practical consideration, which he means to address. ]

If there are any useful questions from the rest of you, we can attempt to pose them.


NOTE | There's Thor, Ahad and Loki. If you want one specifically, please let us know. Also, feel free to have seen them at the jailbreak! They got in > got Michel > teleported out, but the three of them were there briefly. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me!! xoxox!

[ knowing Loki always comes with fun surprises, only half of them bitter betrayal!!! ]

Ah-ah-ah, careful. [ she shakes a finger. ] The bag is enchanted. Can't let any silly little spells pass through his lips when he's not answering a question.

[grunehexe]

[foiled- though admittedly, in a clever way, she can't fault such precautions]

I heard talk of a spell book... Does he claim the gods gifted that upon him?

[selfimage]

[ there's a light shrug from her. ]

A question to be asked. The magic does have to come from somewhere, hm? [ she quirks her head. ] Are you curious about that somewhere?

[grunehexe]

Of course. Who wouldn't be?

[Theories she had, but little good they'd do now.]

I'm equally concerned with his ability to explain the spell he used- unless he claims that too was the work of the gods through his earthly vessel.

[selfimage]

Always a possibility. The details of divinity differ depending on what corner of the multiverse you're trouncing in.

He claims that he has powers far greater than that, bringing something terrible along with him. Perhaps his own god is a fraud, as some have so much trouble believing, or perhaps not.

[grunehexe]

I know there was talk of finding a spell book with certain pages missing- perhaps examining that with as many magics represented would be helpful to understand his capabilities...

[Something about this seems like a bomb that could go off at any second, but...]

Have you encountered gods of goblins before in your own travels?

[selfimage]

I've encountered the gods of stranger.

[ Kree. Skrull. the Midgardians weren't the only ones with their own gods. there were also other gods, older gods, scarier gods and gods long forgotten. ]

Gods aren't so hard to come by. There are certain forces in the universe that see to that.

[grunehexe]

With the rumors that this one takes blood sacrifice...

[Were there ways to deal with those specifically? Sieglinde had avoided calling upon such in her world.]

I simply worry about possible methods to communicate with it.

[selfimage]

Well ...

[ there's a hand that Loki tosses backward toward Ahad and Thor. ]

Obviously no one's invited us to lunch yet.

[grunehexe]

Yet.

[Her brow is furrowed because SHE IS WORRIED ABOUT YOU]

[selfimage]

[ Loki points and mimics her tone. ]

Yet.

There's still time, and I won't say "no" to a good cheese sandwich—grilled, of course.

[grunehexe]

- what is a grilled cheese sandwich?

[as much as she'd love to help with that is this really the time, what is it anyway? Cheese on bread was usual fare for her but what are we doing to this cheese??]

[selfimage]

[ she almost cuts her off. ]

Ymir's frozen balls—you've never had a grilled cheese sandwich?

[ THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT MUST BE RECTIFIED PROBABLY NOW. ]

[grunehexe]

- no?

[Wait, was this even the time to be having this conversation? Why did Loki sound so distressed over such a silly thing???]

[selfimage]

[ this is the worst time to be having this conversation. ]

How have you lived?

[grunehexe]

[whispered as if Loki may have just lost his- her mind]

I am living at this moment.

[selfimage]

[ Loki holds up a finger and fiddles with the bracelet, leaving the camera down toward the ground so Sieglinde gets a good look at the grass and the gnarled roots of the trees.

sorry, lady. ]

[grunehexe]

[Ah, what is happening- her first thought is actually "oh no something about Michel???" But.

She doesn't hear anything, so she complies... And waits.]

[selfimage]

[ the view adjusts and Loki comes back into it. ]

Nope—no spell book. I mean he could be lying, but I doubt it. He was forthright about everything else.

[grunehexe]

[sigh of relief that it wasn't anything bad goes here]

Curious... I examined the spell book myself, and there were pages torn out. ... But perhaps it was not used by him, there may be no way to tell.

[selfimage]

[ dodged the bullet this time. ]

It could have been used by someone else; it seems that the goblins have an affinity toward sorcery.

[grunehexe]

That would explain the rumor I heard about the church going goblins who came out healed.
