[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. ]

Comments

[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.

[tricksterofasgard]

Jeopardy?

[ No need to mention that he has never been there. ]

I think I might want to take a look at that city.

[detectivedwloki]

It's in Nevada. I can wait by the Porter for you.

[tricksterofasgard]

Very well.

Any particular day you wish to meet?

[ Or plain right away. It's not like he has a lot to do. ]

[detectivedwloki]

I'm free now.

[tricksterofasgard]

Then we will see each other soon.

---> Action

[detectivedwloki]

I'll be waiting.

[And he'll be there. Nothing fancy about his appearance or attire, apart from a holstered gun on his belt and a police badge at the other hip. He's wearing them despite not yet being officially back on the force here. But he feels more comfortable that way.]

Action

[tricksterofasgard]

[ It may take the Asgardian a little longer than it would for someone more familiar with the cities and getting around, but eventually he shows up. Having since discarded armor and helmet, he is rather clad in his mostly black leather robes.

Though even without the massive horns on his head, the Asgardian is definitely on the taller side. He easily spots the man waiting for him and approaches without hesitation. Though he does tilt his head a little at the sight of the gun. ]

Please tell me you want to try that on me.

[detectivedwloki]

[The detective Loki is about six feet tall, so indeed a bit shorter than the god Loki. He shakes his head.]

Standard issue. I always carry it, just in case.

[He's clearly looking Loki over with undisguised interest. It's not every day you meet a god, particularly one with the same name.]

[tricksterofasgard]

You may require something more effective in this realm.

[ Loki points this out with a short shrug, maybe a little disappointed by the response. ]

Where shall we go from here, detective?
