riverview | [ video | un: trickster ]

[ In Riverview, a new building has appeared! It is large, opulent with statues standing at the roofs, representing the royal family of Asgard (sans Thor, Thor doesn’t get a statue, sorry. Maybe he’ll get a child’s rendition of a painting inside the halls. Later). There is a choir of children standing on the steps, dressed in white robes. Who immediately burst into this song ]

Prince Loki, handsome is he, Loki Odinson
That physique! How can I speak, weak at the knees
Well get on out in that square
Adjust your helm and prepare
To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Loki

[ When the song reaches its crescendo, the choir parts at the middle as Loki descends from the steps, dressed in black leathers and a golden horned helm, waving at the choir with a beatific smile. He stops at the end of the steps as the song finishes. ]

Thank you. This little ceremony is to show that Odin’s Odeon, named so after my dearly very much departed father. May he rest in . . . peace. This theatre is open to the public and people are more than welcome to submit any kind of works they wish to present. Plays, performances, you name it and most likely we will allow it. Our upcoming performance is The Tragedie of Loki of Asgard and the casting call is open to all. We will also be having an open house party hosted by Taako and myself. I hope to see you all there.

[ Loki pauses, pleased at the wrap up before glancing at the expectant children behind him. With a faint sigh, he snaps his fingers and there are sweets falling from the sky and children screeching in delight before the feed ends. ]

Isn't there some bullshit about pride coming before a fall?

[said in the tone of this is never going to happen to them]

[ Yeah, sounds fake. ]

Never heard of him.

Cause your ego has never gotten in the way.

[Don't be rude, Taako.]

[ He cocks an eyebrow at him. ]

Is this a conversation we want to embark on?

I'm not scared of you, darling.

[He's dead inside and has nothing to lose.]

Fear has nothing to do with it.

Oh, well, if we're talking common sense we know I've got bundles of that.

[sounds fake]

[ This is the fakest convo. ]

How big are these bundles? For future reference.

[So are all their public conversations.]

I'm worried for our future if we're gonna need to know exactly how much common sense I've got.

Well then. Best to simply deal with it, a day at a time.

[ Which also sounds fake, but whatever, mortal people. ]

It's worked for us so far, definitely never had any problems with that.

Certainly none worth mentioning.

You know what, I was gonna say there are no problems worth mentioning but uh, you wrote a play about your death so...

[why is loki Like That]

Deaths.

[ Something like that, anyway. Loki brushes some of his hair away, adjusting the helm. ]

Besides, it's not as though Asgard ever actually knew anything about me. I don't think I got a funeral the first time I died.

Well, hey, if you die here I'll make sure you get the best fucking funeral.

[true friendship]

[ He appreciates it. ]

Which song would you use?

That's a cruel question to ask when I've had no prep.

[And yet he still sends a video]

Nonsense. You are always prepared.

[ He approves. ]

For like, club bathroom hooks up and situations that need emergency tequila, not whipping a fucking funeral march outta nowhere.

[these are all lies

well maybe not the tequila thing]

It is still better than ours.

[ Though he may still be a bit bitter. Not just for the lack of his own (because he's still alive, but it was still rude) but for missing his mother's. ]
