[ 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.

Godly.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki is starting to wonder if the internet just brings out the worst in people. ]

You realize that explains nothing whatsoever.

[deathkid]

[ nico's lips quirk at the corners as he tilts his head. sorry loki 2.0. nico's got shitty people skills. ]

Yes it does. You asked about examples of magic, and I answered. Since I can use my powers here, godly magic is possible.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He restrains a huff. Godly magic indeed. More like Gods with foolish ideas when it came to mortals. ]

All of them?

[deathkid]

[ in nico's case, he's a strange combination of godly morals and true human emotion. finding the balance can be a bit hard sometimes, but on the whole, he tends to do well with other demigods. ]

Yes, all of them. My father is Hades, God of the Underworld. My powers come from him.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Ah, the Greek Gods. They did always enjoy sowing their wild oats. ]

That explains our last encounter.

[deathkid]

[ tell him about it. nico has lots and lots of cousins. though, fortunately, hades doesn't get around nearly as much as the other gods. which means nico is a little bit unique. ]

A little bit, anyway. Talking to ghosts is not something only children of Hades can do. Though I'm the only one who can control them completely.

[dothelokimotion]

Can you do so here?

[ Controlling the dead. What a magnificent power. Certainly one Loki would like for his own. ]

i am the slowest of slow

[deathkid]

Naturally. Among other things. Wherever there is death, wherever there are shadows, I have power.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Convenient death magic then. ]

Are you willing to let someone observe you use your power?

[deathkid]

[ death is everywhere, nico's powers thus work everywhere too. ]

That depends on what that person wants to see.

[dothelokimotion]

There is no "want". Simply curiosity on how it works and why.

[deathkid]

Okay, so you're curiosity. I think there's an American saying about cats and curiosity.

[dothelokimotion]

Was it? I thought it was used for far longer.

[ But Loki doesn't muse on it for long. ]

I have lived for a long time. Curiosity allows me to thrive.
