[ 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. ]

[ Jonas is getting better at English. At least, he sounds more confident now than he did before, speaking without the auto-translator, which means he has the accent of someone who studied British English while growing up in Germany. Though it will be a great relief if someone responds in German, he is trying to practice his English. ]

I wanted to ask about alternate universes. Or... alternate timelines. I have seen this mentioned a few times now, the "other" version of so-and-so. This one has the same face as that one, or this one is from a world where that thing never happened, and all that.

What I want to know is... How do you tell if this is really the case?

I guess I should explain. I have not met myself here, but in my own world, I met myself many times. From many times. And the presumption was that each one I met was from my own timeline, only from a different point. From my future.

But if there is such a thing as alternate worlds and alternate futures, how can it be discerned? I'm not saying that anyone who has met their other self or heard about them is telling a lie. But I do want to know - how are you so sure it's the truth? That this other you is truly another you, and not your future self, deceiving you or others?

[ Fuck, maybe he should have picked a simpler topic. Words are hard. ]
