[ the feed appears with loki facing the feed. on the table, there are silver buttons. ]

Greetings. I am Loki, God of Mischief, circa . . . when humans lived in mud huts, I suppose. I hear the security breach is concerning and I have a possible solution.

These badges — [ and he daintily picks one up. ] — will hide you from these, ah, "cameras". They work against infra-red, heat signatures, etc. I believe the only thing they may falter against are soul-forges or . . . quantum field generators, I believe is the more technical term.

You do have to meet me personally to pick these up as I would have to tweak them to your unique signature. But it would offer you privacy against most, if not all, devices.

[abheirrant]

What kind of self-respecting god bothers with making trinkets for mortals? And especially ones that are not entirely infallible?

no worries <3

[dothelokimotion]

If you do not want one, you can simply say so.

[abheirrant]

I find it hard to believe anyone would want something from a self-proclaimed god of mischief, a title that reeks of trouble in the making. That is asking for problems.

[dothelokimotion]

It is unwise to conflate mischief with evil.

But this is a choice. Nothing more.

[abheirrant]

I did not say you were evil. I said trusting someone claiming to be a god, and of mischief at that, is unwise.

You'll have to excuse me If I don't take the word of mythology's most notorious liar. What do you get out of this deal, exactly?

[ Also he doesn't want people circumventing security measures on principle? And doing it via magic just adds insult to injury. ]

[dothelokimotion]

You're excused.

And what makes you think anyone here has anything to offer me? just prefer cutting to the chase.

[superposition]

Don't play dumb, it doesn't suit you. You're a god of mischief, aren't you? What better offering than amusement?

[dothelokimotion]

I do not need to.

I have yet to see anyone amusing or worth my time. I do have standards.

[itsnotaonesie]

That's actually really cool of you.

Do you mind if I take a look at one? I mean if there's a ton of magic behind it I might not understand it, but scientific curiosity, y'know?

[dothelokimotion]

Certainly. It does not bother me if people wish to tinker.

[itsnotaonesie]

Awesome, thanks. Just let me know when a good time to meet up would be.

I feel like we might have gotten off to kind of an awkward start? Which is entirely my fault. I'm probably the most awkward person here, anyone can tell you that. But anyway, I was wondering if maybe you'd be interested in collaborating on like, things like his maybe? I mean you have a completely different set of skills than I do and it would bring a whole new perspective to pretty much everything going on here, and I think that would be good for all of us, know what I mean?

[dothelokimotion]

It's fine. I am used to it.

And I do not mind, but I do not know how much I'd be able to share.

Could you explain a little more how the badges work? For example, does the effect just cover the person, or would it extend to objects that the person is holding?



[ Hey, she's curious. And she remove cameras and ask questions at the same time.]

[dothelokimotion]

In my vernacular, I call them illusions. To use more scientific-based language, it is a field that disrupts signals. And they should work on all, based on that understanding.

But you cannot transfer a badge onto a device. I will put the working in, but the working will not shift without my help.

[queenofthegirlscouts]

Mm, good to know. Wasn't planning on making objects technologically invisible, but good to know. Cloaking devices where I'm from can have a-a shimmer to them, do these have any such effect or tell?

[dothelokimotion]

[ that is a valid question. ]

They shouldn't if they're disrupting signals. A proper illusion would have that effect when touched.

[ Much later in the day, like several hours later when he's not quite so mid-meltdown. ]

So... am I disqualified from getting one of those badges if I was kind of a dick to you earlier today?

[ He doesn't know what the hell is up with the whole God of Mischief bit.... but the idea of cameras still being around in public places has been making him itch since he found out they were there and Peter told him to leave them up. And by itch I definitely mean he's been intensely distressed and coping with it very badly. ]

Okay, not 'kind of'. I was definitely, majorly a complete dick. Sorry about that.
There're reasons but that still doesn't excuse how I talked to you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki briefly entertains the idea of grudge. he is not so reformed that he wasn't annoyed by what happened, especially since he hadn't intended a heavy handed criticism. but loki did take the advice so it would ill-fitting to throw a fuss now. ]

You're not the first. I am unbothered. You're welcome to one.

[benhargreeves]

Okay. Thanks.
Seriously. I know it doesn't mean much but I promise I'm not that much of a raging asshole most of the time.

Just lemme know the best time to meet so you can do whatever you gotta do to make the badge work.

[dothelokimotion]

Any time will do. I sleep less than mortals do.

[kaballin]

Wow that doesn't sound like a scam or a trick at all.

[The sarcasm is strong with this one.]

I'll take one. Gotta live dangerously.

[dothelokimotion]

Obviously the trick is it'll force you to grow body-hair.

But help yourself.

[kaballin]

Gosh, I can't wait.

What is the catch here? I'm gonna take one anyway, but it'd be nice to know.

[dothelokimotion]

The catch is that I despise being watched and will do what it takes to make sure no one else can be watched as well.
