[ 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. ]

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

What do you believe in?

Science. Technology.

Primitive people don't have ways to describe the galaxy and how it works so instead of figuring it out scientifically, they go the easy route and worship the divine.

Sometimes you need more than science to entirely describe a galaxy.

[ Asgardian magitech, Hux. Just imagine what you could do with that. ]

Not in my experience. I've traveled from one end to the other, I don't need sorcery or magic to do so.

[Hux is literally the last person who should possess that.]

And yet you look as if you missed the good parts. Besides, there is more to the universe than just one galaxy.

How long have you been traveling yours?

[ And that's precisely the sort of person Loki would happily equip with it just to watch the carnage. ]

[Loki no.]

Over thirty years. I know that's a relatively short time but I have seen enough to know my own galaxy. And I've spent enough time on this backwater planet to understand it.

[ Loki yes! ]

Based on your own words, you use technology for your travels. No magic or ancient artifacts to aid you along?

We don't depend on magic or any kind of magical artifact for navigation or for moving through space. They aren't needed with given we have hyperspace navigation and hyperspace drives that make it possible to move through a galaxy in a matter of moments.

Your people have evolved farther then than the humans of I am familiar with. Still. A galaxy devoid of the arcane sounds... Boring.

I didn't say there aren't those who use magic but they are in the minority, thankfully, and aside from a few, have been wiped from the galaxy.

[And if the had his way, the last would be dealt with sooner rather than later.]

[ Huh. That's curious. ]

Do you fear the magic they possess?

[ Honestly? He's curious. ]

Hardly.

[Which was mostly true. He knew the power of the Force but it was nothing compared to what he could do with his technological terrors.]
