[eternalmagic]

Good morning. I've recently arrived in Riverview - my name is Mordred.

Suggestions are both welcome and encouraged as I learn my way around this lovely city. So is advice. [Although that could be such a bad idea. It's fine. He's accepted his choices.] In the meantime, I'll be fulfilling a position with Gramarye Magic Research.

Those of you that use magic yourselves, I sincerely hope our paths will cross while I'm here.

[And boy does he ever mean it.]

[dothelokimotion]

Ah, so you are our new arrival.

[eternalmagic]

One of a number, I'm sure. I take it you're a veteran.

[dothelokimotion]

I was the first arrival to Gramarye. Though I would not call myself the founder.

[eternalmagic]

The first? [That is a fascinating concept.] Did you come alone?

[dothelokimotion]

I did not. A few others joined me soon enough.

[eternalmagic]

I see.

[Preferable, certainly. But then again, it always depends.]

How long have you lived in the city?

[dothelokimotion]

A few months, by the reckoning of the mortal calendar. Why?

[eternalmagic]

I apologize -- unfamiliar circumstances make me nosy.

[And he gathers, from that turn of phrase, that he's holding a conversation with an immortal, which is... always a reason to be on one's guard.]

Would you happen to know the founder? Again, for curiosity's sake.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Hmm. ]

I do not. I assume it came to be when there was need for it.

[eternalmagic]

[That is honestly an acceptable answer.] Fair enough.

Your position there, then?

And your name, if you're so inclined. I'd love to know my future coworkers.

[dothelokimotion]

I am one of the researchers and adviser.

I am Loki.

[eternalmagic]

[Oh. Loki.]

I see. It's a pleasure, then. I look forward to working with you -- and being advised, when appropriate.

[dothelokimotion]

Are you afraid I might be inappropriate?

[eternalmagic]

[For some reason he finds this very funny.]

I hope I won't REQUIRE it that often.

[dothelokimotion]

What do you require then?

[eternalmagic]

Well, I am a bit hungry at the moment.

[dothelokimotion]

Conjure up your meal then.

[eternalmagic]

But then I'd miss an opportunity to make myself at home in this lovely city. So if you have any alternative suggestions?

[dothelokimotion]

I am not particularly invested in the necessities.

[ Loki does them because he has to. It's still an uphill climb to want beyond that when all his ambitions are dust. Still . . . he is curious and Loki is willing to venture out for the sake of curiosity. ]

But there are a few decent shops that serve food and coffee, I believe.

[eternalmagic]

I'll settle for decent.

Should you manage to summon up a scrap of investment, I'd be honored to have the god of mischief join me. You could even call it orientation.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Honoured. A strange concept. ]

Very well. Where should we meet?

[eternalmagic]

[A moment or two, while he gives it some thought. He's still quite new, after all.]

I noticed a coffee house not far from the communal tower, in fact. [They were advertising cinnamon sugar-flavored coffee. He will not admit that this is relevant.] Any objections?

[dothelokimotion]

None. I shall see you there.

[eternalmagic]

[ooc: Switch to action, y/n? I can do it here or a top-post elsewhere. No pressure!]

[dothelokimotion]

[ y! here or top level works for me ]
