Good morning. I've recently arrived in Riverview - my name is Mordred.

Suggestions are both welcome and encouraged as I learn my way around this lovely city. So is advice. [Although that could be such a bad idea. It's fine. He's accepted his choices.] In the meantime, I'll be fulfilling a position with Gramarye Magic Research.

Those of you that use magic yourselves, I sincerely hope our paths will cross while I'm here.

[And boy does he ever mean it.]

i work for trixie as a bouncer
it's a bar/club run by loki of asguard

[eternalmagic]

[A club run by a trickster god. Good lord, show him to the velvet rope. However, it occurs to him--]

Is this the same Loki that works for Gramarye?

[Because he's already gathered that different versions of the same entity exist across these dimensions, so he might as well check.]

[deathkid]

different one, as far as i know.
this loki looks younger and sometimes changes into a woman

[eternalmagic]

And are there any special requirements to get into this particular club?

[deathkid]

not really.
it's just a dance club/bar

don't cause trouble, and you'll be fine
otherwise you'll have to deal with me.

[eternalmagic]

Consider me warned. Who are you?

[deathkid]

nico di angelo
i'll be the one with the sword
outside the door.
it'll be my minions inside keeping an eye on people

[eternalmagic]

That's ominous.

[deathkid]

nothing to be afraid of
unless you don't like walking skeletons

[eternalmagic]

[There is a somewhat prolonged silence, and not out of any sense of alarm.]

I take it you're a necromancer, then?

[deathkid]

that's part of what i can do

[ because as a demigod, he has a very wide range of powers. ]

[eternalmagic]

[Poor Nico. You could not possibly appreciate the significance of what you've just said and to who.]

I would genuinely love to know the other parts.

[deathkid]

[ there's a pause as he debates explaining all the things he can do, but decides against it. he doesn't know this guy. but he can explain a few things... ]

i can raise the dead as spirits of zombies
animate skeletons
manipulate shadows and darkness
manipulate bones
manipulate dreams
manipulate stone and earth
basically, if it has to do with death or the underworld
i can do it

[eternalmagic]

That's very impressive. [He's not lying, of course.] What about the other direction? Death magic tends to go both ways.

[deathkid]

what do you mean?

[eternalmagic]

[Right about here is where Mordred catches himself.]

Never mind. I apologize for all the questions. For what it's worth, walking skeletons don't bother me, but admittedly I wouldn't want them getting handsy.

[deathkid]

[ a little skeptical about this, nico hesitates before responding. this guy is one he'll have to keep an eye on. ]

don't worry, they won't.
only if rules are broken.

[eternalmagic]

I'll be on my very best behavior.

[deathkid]

that's all that can be asked
have fun
if you want to stop and talk, i'll be there

[eternalmagic]

You can count on it, Nico.

[deathkid]

see you there
