[ 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. ]

Do you? Seek to start a war?

( She's asking because he isn't explicitly saying that he isn't. In the statement prior about the past, he specifies misunderstandings and she's curious whether he meant for it to extend as an umbrella over his entire response or if it's specific to the past.

Also, she's kind of a shit like that. )

[tricksterofasgard]

Here?

[ He chuckles. ]

What would I have to earn from doing so?

[justaddh2o]

No, I meant back there.

( She sees what you did there, tricky tricky. )

You said they believed that you meant to start a war. Did you?

[tricksterofasgard]

Not necessarily. I merely was sent to pick something up.

[ And then try to conquer the planet.

But... Details. ]

Humans do have a habit to misinterpret simple actions.

[justaddh2o]

( That seems like a pretty gross overreaction if what he's saying is true, so she has her doubts, but she'll give him the benefit of the doubt, as she has no reason not to, at the moment. )

Do your kind not make mistakes like that, then?

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Oh, he chuckles. ]

Ah, worry not. We do! My brother started a war with another realm out of sheer hotheadedness. Believe me, that was a mess to clear back up.

[justaddh2o]

But not you?

( She lifts an eyebrow and looks pretty proud of herself for that. )

Just your brother?

[tricksterofasgard]

He dragged us all along, but the battle itself was started by him alone.

I had to make sure we got out of there alive.

[ It's at least remotely true. ]

[justaddh2o]

Oh, I meant the mistakes. I'm just being shit, sorry. I'm assuming you both got out alive if you're telling the story?

[tricksterofasgard]

Oh, we all make mistakes. Just the scales vary greatly.

[ He still considers it his greatest mistake to have believed his family was real. ]

[justaddh2o]

I suppose that's fair enough. Right, well, I won't keep you. I'm sure you'll want to settle in. Welcome, I suppose, and thanks, I guess? If you really meant that about protecting us all.

( She's not sure she buys that. Not that she thinks he won't, but that she's not sure she believes that he's a god. )

[tricksterofasgard]

Worry not, I would never lie about a matter like that.

[ Only that he would. Just as he would lie about pretty much anything. ]

It was a pleasure to meet you

[justaddh2o]

Likewise, Loki. See you 'round.

( Her video feed clicks off at that. )
