[ The feed opens up to Loki, dressed in a white shirt and black tie and slacks. He seems to be in a facility somewhere in Riverview, one that might not be familiar to most. He taps a pencil on a clipboard, his bid to look professional. Even his hair is combed back, a few strands tied together with a silver clasp. ]

Greetings. I work at the Gramarye Research Facility for Magic and I was hoping to get some examples of magic taken place in Riverview. Any will do, even ones where your own magic has clashed with the rules of this reality. If you could make it short and precise, I would be most . . . grateful.

[ He's snickering just a tad. He can't help it with Gramarye Research Facility for Magic. ]

Next you'll be wanting live examples on us normals, huh?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Don't tempt him. But the odd use of the word normals catches his attention. ]

It would not hurt.

[aeturnus]

Isn't that what the tests would be for? You wouldn't know yet.

[ That's not what he meant, Cain, and you know it. ]

For what reason are you gathering this information?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Deadpan. ]

To pen a collection of popular young adult novels.

If you want people to be helpful with your research, it would not hurt to tell us the reasons why you want these examples.

( She does not appear at all impressed; her lips are pursed, and she looks upon him dubiously. )

For one thing, you failed utterly to introduce yourself. And secondly, you will not secure the co-operation of anyone unless you are personable.

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

[dothelokimotion]

I was not aware you saw yourself as a fly.

[ He continues smoothly. ]

Also I see you saw fit to give commentary without an introduction either. Perhaps manners are not simply dying with me.

You talk about magic so openly. It isn't feared here?

[dothelokimotion]

[ That is an odd question and he blinks in surprise. ]

Why would it be?

[soundsfishy]

There's a magic research facility? That's very interesting. What exactly counts as magic, though? Spells or anything that isn't human?

[dothelokimotion]

[ That . . . is a valid question and Loki takes time to consider. ]

Both definitions are acceptable.

[ikols]

[ Defining himself in ways that make him stand out as his own person, despite being one of a vast Multiverse of incredibly evil similar Lokis, today takes the form of a willing on-screen alliance between himself and Tony Stark ('He's going to hate this so much, just watch'). In the recent months both man and godling have reached a truce and the fruit of it is beautiful, such as rubbing the budding ease of their companionship in someone's face just to get a reaction.

(He misses Verity greatly.)

Recording with the Avenger from a decidedly unmagical workshop, Loki's brow arches. ]

Your success must be running rampant in this cause.

[amelioraate]

[ Don't you even, his workshop is the most magical thing, you cretin. Wow.

Still, Tony is smirking a little as he rolls his eyes at the godling as he imparts his oh-so-necessary sass to his other self. Tony can't lie, he does find it amusing, it was part of the reason he got along with the godling so well, well that and there were few people here that managed to be both insufferable and strangely brilliant in the same way as Loki.]

Not everyone is comfortable with testing on themselves, Lokes. [ He turns his attention to the Loki on screen, curious.] You think that, if I go through the right channels, I might get my hands on some of that data to help out with some defensive ideas I am working on? To ensure magic users are safe, of course.

I'm not magical myself, but I did stick my arm in a magic spring and had some pretty bad wounds heal up. Now everyone thinks I'm some great science project for it. [ Or at least, Michael does. Whatever, same difference. ]

[dothelokimotion]

We have a magical spring in Riverview?

[ He hadn't heard of such a thing. You'd think people would mention it. ]

[franciscoramon]

how are you defining magic?

promise i'm not trolling here i'm just wondering where you're drawing the line between 'not yet explained phenomenon' and 'yep that's definitely some magic'

[dothelokimotion]

A fair question. I suppose it depends on the origin of the phenomenon. Magic is often hailed as the unexplainable but an expert can usually tell the difference.

"Clashed with the rules of this reality" -- are you looking to create a breach?

( That's what it sounds like, and she's seen (and now travelled through) one of those too many for her to not immediately jump to that as her first conclusion. )

[dothelokimotion]

I am looking to find one. After all, I do not think we all plan to stay here for the rest of our lives.

[She leans forward, chin in her palm.]

What's your definition of magic? Innate talent, learned skill? [fingerquotes] 'Superpowers'?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Ugh, superpowers. ]

Magic is nature. A part of nature that you are capable of tapping into that defies the logics of science. Talent taps into your own being. Skill does the same.

Super powers are an aberration.

Godly.

You realize that explains nothing whatsoever.
