video || action available for his live performance in Nonah

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Is it risky to go on the network these days? Oh, it most certainly is. Does Loki find himself overly concerned about potential embarrassment? Not necessarily. In fact, he considers himself pretty save. After a brief serenade about his boots earlier this day and that short intermezzo involving dramatically disposing of an advertisement flyer in a trash can mere minutes ago, the Asgardian feels rather positive that whatever is going on is done with him at least for today.

So what could possibly go wrong?

He's currently crossing through Nonah's park when he decides to address the network. No helmet or armor this time, but dressed in his regular Asgardian clothes regardless. And he looks rather cheerful, even. ]

So who else is actually enjoying this? Has anyone sung a lullaby to their doorknob yet?

[ Spontaneous singing? Hey, whatever is causing this at least manages to lessen that dreadful boredom of being stuck on an alternate version of Midgard. It's harmless mischief at--

Wait. Those soft little notes tuning in? Are those the reason for that small frown appearing on Loki's face? A frown that deepens a little when the color fades away around him, his surroundings grow darker and a light rain sets in to create an adequately melancholic mood? Well, yes. ]

Oh, you have to be kidding.

[ So what do Asgardians sing about? Glorious battle? The halls of Valhalla? Eight-legged horses?

All wrong. ]

It's getting dark and I'm lost in the woods
I'd find a way out if I knew where to look
If I could, I'd rip this page out of my book
I'm confused and misguided and my faith is beside me.

I've got a hole in my soul where you used to be
There's a thorn in my heart and it's killing me
I wish I could go back and do it all differently
'Cause now there's a hole in my soul where you used to be.

[ Darn right. This is a slow one. No fancy effects, no action, just heaps of emotional baggage no one in their right mind wishes to deal with.

At least his voice is nice for someone allegedly part of a mighty warrior race? ]

A fire inside but my bloods turning cold
I'm walking alone down this desolate road
Yesterday feels like a life time ago
The memories are fading, my dreams are all changing.

I've got a hole in my soul where you used to be
There's a thorn in my heart and it's killing me
I wish I could go back and do it all differently
'Cause now there's a hole in my soul where you used to be.

There's a hole in my heart, in my life, in my way
And it's filled with regret and all I did, to push you away
If there's still a place in your life, in your heart for me
I would do anything, so don't ask me to leave.

[ And there's that instrumental bit where everyone, Loki included, hopes this is actually over. But! ]

I've got a hole in my soul where you used to be
You're the thorn in my heart and you're killing me
I wish I could go back and do it all differently
I wish that I'd treated you differently
'Cause now there's a hole in my soul where you used to be.

[ At last that soft music fades and color returns, the transition allowing Loki to gather his bearings. And while a small frown remains, he puts on a quick smile. ]

Just a little fun, right?

[ Which is precisely why he looks more bothered than intended while turning off the connection again. ]

[ Wooow. Well he gets a slow clap from Peter, at least. ]

Honestly? That's way better than what I was picturing.

[tricksterofasgard]

Please don't tell me you were willingly imagining me singing before this.

[ He's only mildly disturbed by that thought. But at least he's not arguing the quality of his performance. While unintended, he knows it was splendid. ]

[made_up_names]

Um.

Well - I never wrote any songfic, if that's what you're asking.

[ Growing up on the internet in a post-Avengers world was a wild time, let's just leave it at that. ]

[tricksterofasgard]

I will just pretend I understood what you just said.

[ He's working on it. ]

[hatestrashcans]

It's like this all the time.

[hatestrashcans]

You know what sucks about this 'singing' thing?

Nobody says anything.

Just wave a sign saying 'I have feelings', geez.

[ Marco... does not like/understand musicals. ]

[tricksterofasgard]

You don't seriously wish to talk about emotions, do you?

[ Loki doesn't. ]

[hatestrashcans]

Not particularly.

I was referring to whatever or whoever is doing this stupid singing thing.

Like if you want to deal with everybody's issues, just spike the water supply with truth serum and at least save everyone's ears.

[tricksterofasgard]

Just warn me ahead of time should you plan such a thing.

[ That would be too much truth for him to feel comfortable. ]

[privatepurchases]

At least mine ended on a positive note.

[Text]

[tricksterofasgard]

was that why you paid everyone to pretend it never happened?

[Text]

[privatepurchases]

...I paid everyone because they deserved compensation for being possessed.

[lieeeeeesss]

[Text]

[tricksterofasgard]

is that what you are telling yourself to sleep better at night?

Video

[drivesadesk]

Yeah, I know how that is. On the bright side, people can get pulled here from any time, so your person could end up here before anything ever happened. I mean, no guarantees, but hoping for that is always an option.

Video

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Augh.

There's a bit of a glare here. But he does force a thin-lipped smile quickly enough. ]

Oh, please don't worry about that. The content was... Hilariously unrelated to anything, I can assure you.

[ Lies? Lies. Though this is a lie he prefers to tell himself as well, thank you very much he certainly doesn't miss his family. ]

Video

[drivesadesk]

Yeah, I'm sure it is.

[He's not buying it in the least, but he's also not going to push that hard. If this guy doesn't want to admit his feelings even after just singing them, that's up to him.]

Video

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Just another random whim of whatever is going on. ]

This may not last. So we may as well enjoy it while it does.

[ Just leave him in his denial. ]

[bifroster]

[Jane ... is not sure how to react to this. She thinks that if Thor were here, he would know what to do. It might not be the right thing to do, but it would be something. He would be able to make a decision and then act upon it.

So, she is really hesitant. But.]

Yeah. Just a little fun.

video;

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Jane, no. You did not see this. Just forget you saw it if you did. Don't give him reason to try and get into your head to pull out or erase this memory. Because he might try.

For now he just tries very hard not to glare too obviously. ]

Nothing else.

[bifroster]

[Nope, she is completely forgetting this. Mind erasing not needed, she has brain bleach.]

Good to hear. Hope this ends soon.

[tricksterofasgard]

Of course you can not appreciate a little music.

[ He says this only partly to disagree with her. Partly he does enjoy this - when it's not embarrassing him. ]

video

[perfectlyhuman]

[ Well, not his type of music, but it's the whole ensemble of Loki, as a person, his outfit, and the dramatics of this whole song.

He does absolutely turn on the video to give him a bit of applause. ]

That was really good, actually.

video

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Oh, great. The kid saw it. Can they just pretend this didn't happen?

No? Damn. Just give him a moment to straighten his face. ]

Well... Of course it was.

[ He's going to play this casual. ]

Not my usual type of music, but nothing I can't handle.

Re: video

[perfectlyhuman]

[ Yes, Loki, the little boy is a witness. And there's nothing you can actually do about it. ]

Do you sing?

video

[tricksterofasgard]

[ Well, it can't be helped, huh? ]

I am capable of it. But it is not usually something I do while sober.

[ And since it's not actually a habit of his to get drunk... Well. ]
