[When Thor switches the camera on, it's momentarily engulfed by his face before he sits himself back. Now that the frame isn't obscured, it's apparent that he's not the only one there. Both Lokis, Angela and Sif sit either side of him, all situated around a booth at some sort of diner.

Thor, naturally, is the first to start talking.]

It has come to light in one way or another that we could be considered Gods. [He's keeping it vague on purpose.] It is true, in a sense, that we are are not unlike higher beings. We are not mortals and we have powers and abilities beyond what many would be considered normal. The myths and the legends, however, are not precisely true.

[He just wanted to clear that up.] As such, we thought it would be prudent to offer our services in times of need. For missions or protections, we can be of use in many situations. You need only ask.

[He says we, but he largely means I.

Angela, for her part, doesn't look as opposed to the idea as she probably could.]

I will add that I will require payment for my services, but that can be negotiated at a later time.

[ She glances around the table at her siblings as if daring them to counter her.

The younger Loki leans into shot, finger raised. ]

Should you require an actual god, we come in that flavour too.

Comments

[scholiast]

Yes, it's quite interesting. Where do you know him from?

[dothelokimotion]

We met over a magical incident. After that, we simply kept spending time with each other.

[ It suddenly hits him what a natural event it was. It was real, in a way many things in Loki's life were not. ]

[scholiast]

How touching.

(Well, at least he's making friends. She's glad to know it.)

If you're looking for somebody to trick, he'd be your best bet, I think.

[dothelokimotion]

Most likely. But I have a few contenders from time to time.

[ There's always an opportunity, though Loki is careful about the nature of his tricks. ]

[scholiast]

Oh, I suppose if you're a god of tricks you must have quite a lot of irons in the fire.

(She's being a bit facetious, now.)

[dothelokimotion]

[ He smiles despite himself. Loki rather likes Lucretia. She has a thirst for knowledge, but she also has backbone. Loki can appreciate both. ]

I try. I also try not to boast.

[scholiast]

(She likes him too! You can tell by the gentle snark. He's very witty, which she appreciates.)

Oh, but it must be so hard not to.

[dothelokimotion]

It is the curse I must bear and bear alone.

[scholiast]

An arduous task. Remember to take some time for yourself every so often, Most Puissant and Excellent Prince.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He bows slightly, his hair falling over his shoulders. ]

I shall endeavor to do my best.

[scholiast]

I will leave you to it, then.

Good luck.

[dothelokimotion]

Luck be with you as well.
