[ 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. ]

Pretty sure the Porter and whatever powers it doesn't really care what we need or not.

[There are several people that are perfect examples to prove that statement.]

Me? Will Solace, Son of Apollo--Greek god of....a lot of stuff actually.

[tricksterofasgard]

If there are sentient decisions behind our presence here, I certainly would like to meet whoever makes them.

[ And preferably kill that being. Take their place. Their power... Long term goals. ]

For now it is good to meet you, Will Solace.

[pocketfulof]

Get in line. We all want to have a word with whomever or whatever brought us here.

I uh, guess it's good to meet you? [Hesitant demigod is hesitant.] I mean I don't exactly know you well enough to say otherwise.

[tricksterofasgard]

[ He simply shrugs again. There are a lot of secrets here, that much hasn't been difficult to learn. ]

Trust your instinct on that matter? [ A suggestion. ] And maybe that I did not decide to greet you bearing and slaughtering a living sacrifice.

[pocketfulof]

My instinct isn't all that fond of me taking you at your word. Just saying.

And uh, you think we're supposed to be thankful you didn't waltz in here with a living sacrifice? That's like the bare minimum of not coming across as a maniac.

[tricksterofasgard]

On some planets that is expected of you if you wish to keep the natives from sacrificing you to their deity.

[ Which he may or may not be making up. ]

Though personally I am quite comfortable without such requirements.

[pocketfulof]

I wouldn't know about any of that. I've never been off-world. Most cultures here don't really see sacrifices as a "thing" to do...anymore.

[tricksterofasgard]

Cultures vary. I have seen far more worlds than I desperately needed to.

[ And probably ended up causing war to erupt on half of them. ]

At some point it is inevitable to learn to adapt.

[pocketfulof]

Sacrifices are just pretty...old hat to most people. Ancient Rome? Greece? Happened all the time--favor changed, and it was done away with.

Guess that was an adaptation in a way.
