[Today on your screen is everybody's favorite shitty wizard, who's currently sitting in a park somewhere and using mage hand to make sure the camera is at a good angle.

What's up, my dudes? It's ya boy Taako, here to make a super important announcement to save anyone getting their panties in a twist about this shit.

[He's already nailing this whole polite and informative announcement thing.]

Soooo, the people here aren't evil. [Taako shrugs.] It's a fucking revelation, I know, but listen, they're not lying about the whole portal thing and we're not here to be turned into people soup or whatever the hell folks are worried about. I mean, there's for sure some dicks in the bunch so totally not my fault if you get mugged, but uh, the people overall? Have good intentions.

[There's a shrug there, just to finish off his very well-constructed explanation.

Although he should probably also say how he knows this:]

The spirit of some real old and powerful witch told me this shit, bee-tee-dubs, and yeah, before you ask, I know she was telling the truth. That's how the spell works.

[Just take his word for it, folks!

He looks like he's about to hang up, before pausing.]

Uh, right, there's a whole new load of us idiots, isn't there? Hi, I'm Taako, in case you missed it when I said it thirty seconds ago, and that's T-double-A-K-O, not like the food. Sorry to start you off on such a fucking boring note, but here we are. Welcome to Riverview Quarantine or whatever.

[ok bye]

[Taako isn't exactly the most patient either, shocking no one.]

I'll be honest, a brochure crossed my mind about the whole magic thing, let's just add this to it.

[He doesn't blame people for being suspicious, but it's all a bit too dramatic even for him.]

How clever of you! What a wonderful idea, [ nudging it along post-tantrum from Stark, ] a file that we can all link to would be perfect. Might you petition the perimeter guard and police force to add their own sections? Their respectability would only bolster your own amongst the science-minded community.

[Wait a second.]

This is starting to sound like a whole lot of fucking work. [He's still figuring out his way around computers, even if he's mostly got it down by now.] I mean, the level of shits I give might not be that high enough.

[ikols]

Ah ... you seemed so capable for a moment there. So confident.

[ Attractively so, says the dismissive look Loki gives him over the video, sighing with a final shrug. It's a cheap brand of manipulation but the easiest to work with. ]

Maybe someone else will step in.

[spellslots]

[Loki you look way too young for that to work.]

If you're so keen on it you're more than welcome to do the legwork.

[ Weh. This guy must be into dudes, or women, with wrinkles and grey hair. ]

Alas, I've a full schedule.
