[ 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.

Quite a lot of it is, actually. Lots of food where it goes to waste and very little where it could be put to good use.

[ Huh. Loki makes a pointed sigh. ]

Midgard has certainly lost its former glory.

[aeturnus]

We had glory in the first place? When was the last time you stopped by?

[ It's wry, but Cain does get the point. It's the best time in the world and that bright light only casts deeper, darker shadows on all the evils. Maybe once he and Abel figure out how to stop people from continuing to break death and all that, he'll get some time to focus on all the more mundane issues. ]

Six years ago. Not that it had much to begin with.

[aeturnus]

Well, six years isn't much different from now, but there's the rub, too. Depends on when now is for you and for me.

Maybe I'll just work on making it glorious and presentable for the day we're inevitably visited by aliens. Why worry about internal stuff when we should look good to outsiders?

[ Jk, jk. Kinda? ]

Re: [ private ]

[dothelokimotion]

Well. Since you have nothing better to do.

[ private ]

[aeturnus]

Nothing better to do and a lot of time to do it. Although it will have to wait until I get back home.

[ He hums. ]

I doubt you are the only immortal in our midst.

[ private ]

[aeturnus]

... Huh. Guess if there's you, there could be others.

[ Gods. Immortals. Something living way longer than they probably should. ]

Maybe I'll put those feelers out.

Re: [ private ]

Immortals Anonymous. Very useful.

[ private ]

[aeturnus]

Could be. Who knows how much a place like this might need it.

Re: [ private ]

[dothelokimotion]

What would you even do with such information?

[ private ]

[aeturnus]

Gather the data, mostly. See what I can do with it. Maybe an amateur social study.

Re: [ private ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ This makes Loki's plans seem positively detailed and helpful in comparison. ]

Have fun.

[ private ]

[aeturnus]

[ You mean the plans he hasn't shared at all? ]

Oh, I will. You too.

Re: [ private ]

[ With that, Loki cuts the feed. ]
