[ 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. ]

[detectivedwloki]

Like I told the other guy, I'm not changing my name.

[tricksterofasgard]

I think I will settle with Detective.

[ Titles tend to work. ]

[detectivedwloki]

That's for the best.

Do I just call you Loki?

[tricksterofasgard]

Preferably.

[ No surname, no titles, just his name. ]

I believe we have found an agreement.

[detectivedwloki]

You're very reasonable, Loki.

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Okay, he doesn't hear that often. Way to flatter this Asgardian. ]

Not what you would expect of the God of Mischief?

[detectivedwloki]

Not from the warnings I was given.

They seem to expect you'll always be up to some mischief.

[tricksterofasgard]

Only when I am bored.

[ Which, admittedly, he is often. ]

[detectivedwloki]

So you use mischief to... spice up your life?

[tricksterofasgard]

Should I not?

[detectivedwloki]

As long as you're not hurting anyone.

[He doesn't know this Loki's history.]

[tricksterofasgard]

Worry not. I harbor no such plans.

[ At the moment. ]

[detectivedwloki]

That's good. I wouldn't want to have to arrest my namesake.

Bad enough I have to keep an eye on the man who also has my face.

[tricksterofasgard]

You truly believe you could arrest an Asgardian?

[ Okay, that's cute. ]

[detectivedwloki]

You'd resist?

[tricksterofasgard]

Is resistance not to be expected from one that has earned an arrest?

[ He'd totally fight you over giving up his freedom. ]

[detectivedwloki]

Some co-operate more than others.

[tricksterofasgard]

You speak of humans. Those of Asgard have a... Different mentality.

[detectivedwloki]

How do they handle criminals?

[tricksterofasgard]

The King of Asgard, ruler of the nine realms, decides their fate.

[ So according to his own previous words, that would be him. ]

[detectivedwloki]

And what happens when the King is the one committing the crime?

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Well, see? He laughs at this. ]

Are you implying I am committing a crime?

[detectivedwloki]

No. I'm honestly interested in learning more about your culture.

Being a detective, I'm especially interested in how law and order is handled.

[tricksterofasgard]

Then maybe we ought to meet in person at some point rather than [ He gestures towards his phone. ] This.

[detectivedwloki]

I'm based in Jeopardy but I can also come to you.
