video, un: LOKIOFASGARD

[ He misses Stephen. One of his best friends (if he could consider himself as having them) for months, a backbone to lean on and firm supporter of the Loki Isn't A Total Shitbag club, is gone, and while the Sanctum actually is larger on the inside than the out, it feels somehow emptier. He smashed several priceless artefacts with no repercussions, no sorcerer appeared to put him in time-out or ask with strained patience what he was doing, which is how he knows Stephen really has returned through the portal. That, and Loki's private alarm went off as Stephen left the dimension; his finger pricked with blood on its own, a warning.

So he sits in Stephen's main study in a theatrically winged armchair because this house is nothing if not extra, dust motes floating through lazy afternoon golden light. He does so with arms folded, frowning, ignoring the giant green viper with its head resting over the back of the chair upon his shoulder (Freyja is sad too). He takes a breath. ]

Stephen Strange from Earth-616 has returned home, albeit leaving his actual house here. The Sanctum Sanctorum is hereby officially all mine until he returns, fight me for it, etcetera. [ The unnaturally large serpent boops his cheek with her huge nose, supporting and prompting him to continue as he scratches under her chin. ] Er, I guess Avengers are still welcome if you ever visited Stephen in the first place, whatever. Come by if you have any magical problems, I ...

[ He pauses (maybe for effect!!) and pulls the Cloak of Levitation into shot, draping it around his shoulders. What is more impressive is the cloak lets him.

(It has instructions to babysit a certain godling, not that Loki knows that.)

He sets his jaw, sitting up straight. ]

It happens in our future anyway, he said. I suppose I'm this realm's new Sorcerer Supreme, for now.

What exactly is a sorcerer supreme?

[ And also because it bears saying: ] Sorry about your friend, by the way.

What if a challenger to the title appears?

( would he? nah. but stephen leaving is hard on a lot of people he imagines, billy may as well try and. not be too noticeably depressed over it. though he is moving to slip on shoes, head out to the sanctum. . )

Really? That's... lame.

[He never got to meet Stephen, but he knows he was important to Billy and Loki. Plus, it's Doctor Strange. Always a good guy to have around.]

Sorry. But it's cool you have the Sanctum still.

[Sort of anyway? Provided there's not a door that leads to a hell dimension they don't know about or something.]

[Sam, on the other hand, knew - one last rushed conversation, and goddamn, he's not sure if that makes it hurt more or less. But it's telling that he opts for text, at least for the moment.]

I'll assume you won't tell the wards to shut me out.

[Surprisingly to Stephen, there's a lot to digest from Loki's announcement. Firstly, there's another Loki, which shouldn't come that much of a surprise, since there is, or was another him in this verse. It's hard not to be wary of this God of Mischief, considering what Loki has done in the past in his universe, but the fact that this Loki mentions becoming the Sorcerer Supreme down the line in their world. Gods help them all if that comes to pass in his verse as well.

There's almost a pang of deception upon hearing the departure of the other Strange. And maybe a bit of regret, as Stephen mildly wishes he hadn't been too...proud o get in touch with the other master of the mystic arts, if only to compare magic and stories.

His own Cloak perks up at the sight of its counterpart, and it bristles as the other one settles on the godling's shoulders. Even if the Ancient One had called it a 'fickle thing', it seems that its sense of loyalty is set in stone.

The face on the feed might look familiar to Loki, and it shows Stephen raising an eyebrow with an unimpressed expression:]

Is that how it works in your world? You pick up the Cloak and you're suddenly the Sorcerer Supreme?

[No, he's not going to fight the Asgardian for the title. It's just that, a title, and Stephen is mature enough to concede that he's not ready for it. Not that he'll ever admit it out loud.]

For what it's worth, you did a pretty good job. Although attacking Dormammu with ghost squirrels may not work twice.

I'm sorry that you've lost him.

[Losing someone sucks and she knows it, so there's sympathy in her voice. But not enough sympathy not to ask:]

What is a Sorcerer Supreme?
