[tricksterofasgard]

[ Gold. Hopefully you like gold, because you will see a lot of it. Heavy golden walls behind a large golden throne. Comfortably seated within? A potentially new face, looking pleased and overall just friendly enough despite being clad in full armor, complete with large, horned helmet and holding a golden spear in his hand.

Can you possibly see through illusions? Then enjoy Loki occupying a regular living room while casually holding a broom. He's just here to deliver a show, really. The armor and helmet are real, however.

After permitting the image to settle for a moment, he finally speaks. Loki's initial words are measured carefully. ]

Mortals of this realm.

[ He raises from his throne and takes a step forward before settling into a meaningful pose. ]

You have earned yourself the protection of a god.

[ You get another moment to take this in. Or just enjoy looking at this god. Then, all of Loki's dignified behavior and display slips away in favor of a wide, open grin and his unoccupied hand gestures lightly. ]

They could have just asked, though. You know? Instead of just pulling me here and--

[ He lets that trail off with a dismissive wave of his hand. Let's not talk about that, okay? ]

I am Loki. Rightful King of Asgard.

[ That same hand that has just been gesturing dismissively is now placed over his own chest as Loki offers a bow to his audience. ]

And I look forward to serving you.


[ For his roommates at Nonah #004: Your living room is currently stuck under an illusion. You will find yourself stepping right into Asgard's throne room. It's painfully golden. Enjoy your new Asgardian pest. ]

[made_up_names]

So, uh. I’m pretty sure there’s two major problems with this. Two and a half.

[ He’s heard about timeline shenanigans happening, but this is his first time (presumably) seeing it in person. Wow. ]

Video

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Okay. Loki first blinks at that, then slightly tilts his head, then... sighs. Yes, he sure looks a tad disappointed. ]

You do not like the horns.

[ He makes this sound convinced, and even apologetic. There is a small nod of false understanding. ]

I get that a lot from humans.

Video

[helpdesk_hero]

[Cue a video of a disdainful looking young black man, with disapproval written in every line of his body.]

Really, Loki? Do you have to start out with such theatrics? Just go find an IHOP, get yourself a selection of breakfast meats, and dismiss your illusion.

[An illusion over the network? He can't see through it and see how ridiculous Loki looks holding a broom. But he knows better than to believe there is any chance that Loki actually as an Asgardian throne room in his back pocket.]

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Do you have to be that way? Not that Loki necessarily feels the need to take this personally, not right away. Besides, he has no idea what an IHOP is.

Though as for the general suggestion of getting rid of his illusion, he just shrugs softly, gesturing faintly with his hand again. ]

But it makes this place so much more bearable, you have to admit as much.

[ At least he’s not denying it. ]

[fireandhoney]

[Have a very unimpressed Dunmer, and his voice is just dripping with dry snark.]

Welcome, your highness.

[tricksterofasgard]

Why, thank you.

[ No, he doesn't miss the tone. But he can innocently play along. ]

Is something bothering you?

Video;

[usaf]

[ Oh this is a thing. Carol much prefers Thor to... Whatever this is. ]

You're a little late, your highness. You just missed Thor.

[tricksterofasgard]

[ And Loki prefers very much not to hear his brother’s name. Which is a message the grimace on his face clearly portrays. Though he doesn’t miss the important bit here. ]

By which you mean he is gone now.

[ His finger taps against broom!Gungnir in the mildest display of irritation. This is not the sort of information he had expected to receive, but.... Could he work with it? Somehow...?

Loki at least gathers himself back together and settled with a still slightly tense nod. ]

How unfortunate.

[Video]

[detectivedwloki]

Are you claiming to be the Norse god Loki?

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Hello, random human. Your question gets you a raised brow from this Asgardian. ]

Why, my people certainly used to inspire those tales. So in a way yes, I am. At least on the Midgard I am more familiar with than this one.

[Video]

[mysterioisthetruth]

That's quite an entrance...

[Beck looks amused but may be a bit jealous. He knows who Loki is, although they've never met. He's seen footage of the New York attack with the Avengers saving the day. Loki is notorious. It may be noted that this man has the same face as another, the one known as Detective Loki. It could be suspicious? But also odd may be the outfit this man is wearing. It's vaguely reminiscent of Asgardian armour, except flashier as it literally lights up at the chest and on the cape.]

video

[tricksterofasgard]

[ He notices the similar face, yet also the differences. ]

If you seek the attention of the people, all you have to do is give them what they want.

[ And clearly, he has drawn plenty of attention with this act. ]

[gigue]

Like - like the mythology?

[No, some other Loki claiming to be a god. Vanya grimaces at herself, glancing down. Though with the show he's putting on, she keeps looking back.]

Did that place just...show up with you? [Is that a thing, can that happen, because there are some places from back home she would like to not appear here.]

[tricksterofasgard]

The very same.

[ Ah, people knowing of the myths, yes. And while Loki hasn't gotten around to read those himself, he is still aware that they exist. ]

My people inspired those tales back on the Midgard we used to visit centuries ago.

[ And this, for once, isn't much of a lie. ]

But no, it did not. This place was just... Terribly dull.

[ Human aesthetic doesn't exactly agree with him. ]

[killtime]

What, only the mortals?

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Now that's an interesting reaction. ]

Oh, I will make exceptions, of course.

You are immortal?

[hatestrashcans]

Well, that's tacky.

And I'm a teenager who came into a ton of money at 16.

You're nice-enough looking, you don't need all the gold. It's actually not really your color.

[ Yup, Marco's objectifying the god. ]

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Loki gives those words some consideration, even makes it a point to look thoughtful for a moment. ]

You think so? What color would you prefer, instead?

[ Not that he has any intention of stepping away from his green, gold and black. ]

( video )

[sathan]

( she looks very unimpressed by this )

And what are you protecting us from?

( she's not mortal but whatever. she also knows the 'danger's of this place but she wants to see what bullshit he'll stem )

( video )

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Oh, that's fine by him. His main goal was to draw attention, and he's got plenty of that.

And he shall gladly maintain that innocent guise, even offer a shrug. ]

Can we truly tell that ahead of time?

Action

[adultwonder]

[Dick blinks tiredly at the shiny gold living room. It’s so much, and he’s only just woken up. He runs a hand through his hair and yawns.]

I feel like this much redecorating needs a house meeting first. Or coffee. Lots of coffee.

Action

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Yes, Asgardian aesthetic may not be for everyone. And yet Loki isn't exactly one who cares much about the opinions of others. ]

You ought to thank me for improving your pathetic dwelling space.

[ It may just be an illusion, but he clearly sees it as improvement. ]

Video

[innerdragon]

[Wow. That sure is something.]

Can you fit through a door with that helmet?

Video

[tricksterofasgard]

[ That's an unusual thing to focus on for sure. But fine. He'll just be mildly befuddled. ]

Depending on the door, certainly.

[crypdick]

[ As if to be the complete opposite of Loki, the Outsider is currently in a back alley sitting on top of the lid of one of those big city garbage bins, surrounded by flies. There's a rat eating half a bun next to him.

The Outsider doesn't seem to care, his uncanny black eyes calm. ]

What kind of a god?

[tricksterofasgard]

[ An interesting counter display, for sure. Just not a setting Loki would choose for himself. Obviously. ]

The mortals of Midgard call me the God of Mischief.

[ Of course he could have lied, but what for? ]

video;

[therewillbeorder]

Only pathetic and primitive life forms believe in divine beings. So you may find some here who may believe your claim.

video;

[tricksterofasgard]

Then clearly you can tell me what the sophisticated beings believe in.

What do you believe in?

video;

[bifroster]

[Jane narrows her eyes at this, feeling her hackles rise for some reason. She already punched him for New York and apparently he died helping them prevent the destruction of the world (and more) at the hands of the Dark Elves. But this does not mean anything, not when he might be from a different timeline. Best not to reveal what she knows ... for now.]

You don't need to try so hard to impress us.

video;

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Oh, he knows you! Sort of. He hasn't met you, but he sure has done his best to get some information on you while he was on Earth.

Isn't it a good thing he met your friend Erik?

And yet he hasn't exactly expected to encounter you here. Well. He slowly inclines his head, intrigued. ]

Jane Foster, was it?

[ And this may well be the first time he actually says that name. ]

I had not known you are here.

[choosetruth]

[Georgia’s powers allow her to sense lies. She might not be able to see through the illusion, but all her instincts are still screaming bullshit. She scowls under her sunglasses.]

I’m an atheist.

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Hopefully she doesn't get a headache from his presence. ]

Is that what you wish to be called?

Video

[perfectlyhuman]

[ Is that a broom? ]

Cool helmet. [ Big. And horned? And golden. He likes the armor, though, it's actually pretty cool. ]

Are you really a god?

Video

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Don’t question the broom. ]

God of Mischief, that is what the mortals call me.

[ And the helmet appreciation is secretly appreciated. ]

Who would you be?

video;

[goodtobebad]

[ This is after he's stopped laughing. ]

I'll take a bacon sandwich.

video;

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Crowley, that’s a terrible idea. The chance that Loki has never made a sandwich are incredibly high. He may have never even eaten one. Asgardians in general may be better kept out of any kitchen. For everyone’s sake.

But hey. It would be rude not to respond. Even if he does so with mild irritation. ]

And then what?

Action

[lonered]

Huh.

[That's the sound Keith makes upon opening the door and seeing the, erm, redecorating. Okay.]

You must be the new guy.

[Rightful king of WHERE THE HELL IS THEIR COUCH? Then he'll spend a moment wondering if this is stranger than Dick's visiting circus animals or not.

Nope. Can't decide. So he'll just... skirt the edge of the very gold room.]

I'm Keith. ...good to meet you? [Maybe?]

Action

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Don't worry, the couch still exists. It only looks like a freakishly golden throne and is occupied by a by now somewhat pensive space viking who just broke your broom. Sorry. But someone told him his home planet blew up and... He's chewing on that.

Hence, Loki doesn't react right away as Keith shows up but spends another moment or two simply brooding before turning his attention towards the young man. ]

Loki.

[ A much simpler introduction than the one he broadcasted. Getting up from his seat to properly face Keith, Loki finally dismisses his illusion, reverting the room to what it used to look like and getting rid of the faux Asgardian aesthetic. ]

The pleasure is mine. I assume we are to share this living space for the time being.

[pocketfulof]

You have to be fucking kidding me.

[This is a kid that Does. Not. Curse. But uh. Gods can make you do that when you're a demigod. He's had Enough (tm) of that, thank you.]

No offense, but we kind of already have some around here. Gods, I mean. And their kids. We're good.

[tricksterofasgard]

Apparently, you are not. Or I would not have been brought here.

[ Against his will. He doesn't say that, but there is a rather clear undertone of it. Sorry, you may be stuck with this one. ]

And who would you be?

video;

[justaddh2o]

[ Color her a little suspicious of the aesthetics, if only because she's assuming that if he's new, he is in government housing just like she is. The rest, well... That just sounds like Zane on crack. Her Aussie accent is a little drawling as she looks back at the new guy through her camera. ]

Do you? It looks a bit more like you're more interested in impressing us. Where are you even filming, mate? If that's what your flat looks like, I'm mad at the house I ended up in, yeah?

[ A plain looking bedroom is behind her; she's sitting at a desk in her room.

By no means does he appear as any sort of threat to her, but an arrogant storyteller? That sounds more accurate based on what little she knows. She's entirely too familiar with that type. ]

video;

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Oh, he sure tells stories. A lot of them if you give him the chance. Right now though he's much more interested in finding out what reactions he might gain himself with his little display.

The Asgardian settles with a mild smile. ]

The setting as it was had very little appeal to it. And I think it would be expected of me to properly introduce myself.

video;

[ambasciatore]

Why?

[ On one hand, this just gets to his heart a little because he misses Alex so much and the fact she's Loki's daughter just...reminds him of Fauxhalla. Shit. ]

Asgard doesn't exist here. None of the Nine Realms do except technically Midgard I guess.

video;

[tricksterofasgard]

Asgard may not exist here, but undoubtedly you can see that I do.

[ And not by his own choice. If he has to suffer being here, you get to suffer him being here. ]

Had you rather I hide my presence?

Video

[devilishly_handsome]

Oh, well that's interesting. The Porter managed to catch a god. What's your alignment?

Video

[tricksterofasgard]

Alignment?

[ What sort of question is that supposed to be? ]

I align with none but myself.

voice

[besainted]

Oh, you're a god! I'd heard there were some around, but I didn't realize that meant here. Mind if I ask you a few questions?

voice

[tricksterofasgard]

You already asked one, did you not?

Maybe you can tell me who you are, first.

Action

[spaceforged]

No.

[He stares at the seemingly redecorated living room with a neutral expression on his face but his voice is flat.]

First, no. If you changed it, fix it.

[With that established, he stirs his spoon in his coffee and takes a sip of it.] Second, that’s not how this process works. As much as we know, there might be a goddess involved but we’re not chosen by people in this reality. They are not to blame for this.

Action

[tricksterofasgard]

I take it yu are no friend of Asgardian architecture.

[ Will he simply accept being ordered around, though? That doesn't sound like a lot of fun.

And right now? Loki still rather enjoys his throne. ]

And I was told that we were picked at... Random. Yes. Curious how the mortals of this realm possess technology with such power, yet hold no power over it. As if the Bifrost went out of control.
