video @L.Mills

[The video turns on to show a little girl wearing a jean jacket with some store bought brownies on a plate. She looks a little nervous, but it fades when she smiles at the camera.]

So...I was told there were other gods and demigods here. And if none of you are busy, I'd really like to talk to you? Cause...I only know of gods from history books and stories, but it would be nice to know what actually happened and what was really embellished--cause author's tend to do that.

[And then she remembers the brownies.]

I've got brownies too! So...your time's not wasted or anything.

[Hopefully Grandma Emma won't be upset about this...her granddaughter basically asking to talk to strangers...

But really, what's the harm?

...And hopefully the gods and demigods like chocolate.]

[Lucy thinks for a moment...and she doesn't have much of a choice to how these brownies will be delivered.]

I could leave the plate outside my door and you summon it to your place if you want. I promised my grandma I'd be careful.

[Cause not everyone can be trusted and she wouldn't run off with another god, and such and such.]

[ikols]

That sounds fair, much better than damp cake-letters.

[ Miss Mills is clearly the brains of this outfit! ]

Write a note with my name on it and leave that on top, then I'll know where it is.

[thestoriesarereal]

Have you actually had cake-letters? Or fan mail?

[There's a nod of her head.]

Hold on, give me one moment.

[And she'll go off screen to grab a piece of paper to write Loki's name on it, then she grabs the plate of brownies and leaves them outside the door. Of course she does leave the note with his name on it on the top of the stack.]

All done!

[ikols]

Totally. I have my own fan-club! [ Zealots. Like Magneto's. ] People create summoning circles from things I like, gifts to make me appear for them, and I get to keep it all. I've got a whole load of Starkphones, if you need one.

[ Casually, he reaches off-screen and takes a brownie; he has them! ]

Mmm, compliments to the chef.

[thestoriesarereal]

[She's grinning now, yay! She pleased a God!]

Well...I didn't make them..I bought them from the store. I don't think grandma would appreciate me using the oven without supervision.

[And now she goes to grab her little note pad and pen.]

So, you're pretty popular then. Not many people still worship the gods, at least back in my realm--and what's a Starkphone? Is it the same as a normal phone?

Also! What was the longest prank or joke you've ever done?

[ikols]

So many questions! Is this an interview? [ Holding back a chuckle. ] A Starkphone is like a super-mega-ultra expensive but awesome smartphone. Ah, now ... pranks ...

[ Give him a moment. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

Well...I do want to get know more about you, and I already spoke to one of you and I wanted to compare answers.

[Huh, sounds like one of those fancy smartphones back home with an apple on it.]

Never heard of them, but there are smartphones that are SUPER expensive.

[ikols]

Oh, which tales did he tell?

[thestoriesarereal]

That he turned Thor into a frog for a week. He also told me the tale of the musician of Trill.

[ikols]

Ah, I turned him into a frog too. Throg. What kind of stories do you like, Miss Mills?

[thestoriesarereal]

Throg... [She starts to giggle.] Did he get his own little costume or little cape to show he was a special frog?

You can call me Lucy! Though...should I call you Loki? Or, Mister Loki? Or...?

I would love to hear stories about you! Or, anything really.

[ikols]

He did! And a little hammer to hit things with, too. You can call me Loki, being as it's my name and all. [ With a wink. ] Um, stuff about me ... I like milkshakes and unicorns.

[ Very true. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

[And now she's grinning.]

Please tell me there's a photo or a drawing somewhere of that.

[She writes that down...]

Me too! What kind of milkshakes do you like? Chocolate, vanilla? Cookies and cream...?

And what else?

[ikols]

Ah, no, but I could do doodles ...

[ Suddenly, the Inquisition! ]

All milkshakes, cookies and cream especially. Strawberry is the best. Um. [ What would a small child find enchanting? ] There are entire forests made from candy in Alfheim, I rather enjoy nibbling on the twigs there. They taste like hard marzipan.

[thestoriesarereal]

Like stick figures?

[Lucy writes all this stuff down. Who knows when it might come in handy! However, her writing comes to a pause hearing there were entire forests made of candy.

Whoa...]

That's...incredible. Was there anything that tasted like cotton candy? Were there actual live gingerbread men? Or anything like that?
