[ 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.

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.

[itsnotaonesie]

OK good, I'll still try to work on it though.

You know what that's fine, I figure we can tackle stuff like that if or when it comes up.

[dothelokimotion]

I wonder.

Apparently I already have someone who disagrees. These people are tiring. They complain when I do nothing and they deride when I do.

[itsnotaonesie]

Yeah

yeah I've noticed

I'm gonna try to get everybody on the same page, this in-fighting argumentative crap isn't going to do any of us any good.

[Peter says while straight up starting an argument with Qubit. SIGH.]

[dothelokimotion]

Good luck. I don't expect to go far.

[ thankfully, loki isn't terribly annoyed. yet. it's all the old stuff. oh no god of mischief!! ]

[itsnotaonesie]

It's fine, I've got a little pull around here. I'm pretty sure I can get people to chill out.

[He's not sure about that at all, but he'll definitely give it his best shot!!]

[dothelokimotion]

Are you the de-facto leader here?

[itsnotaonesie]

It's nothing like that, I just know everybody and people tend to like me. I'm one of the youngest people here, I doubt they'd want me in any sort of leadership position. I definitely don't want to be.

[dothelokimotion]

It might benefit to have one. At least to refer to.

[itsnotaonesie]

I don't know. Maybe. So far we're doing fine with everyone just cooperating with one another. I guess it wouldn't hurt to maybe hold some sort of meeting with everyone over the matter or something.

[dothelokimotion]

That may not last, when we have other forces at play here.

Perhaps.

[itsnotaonesie]

I know, there's too much weird stuff going on. I'm just playing it by ear, man. I don't exactly have training for this kind of thing.

Or anything, really.

[dothelokimotion]

No, but that's on par with. Well. Humans. They seem to prefer that.

[itsnotaonesie]

I mean I personally would prefer if we all had a coherent plan to work from, but my whole life hasn't been coherent for a few years now, so I just take what I can get at this point.

[dothelokimotion]

Human life tends to be messy.

Whether it is for heroes or otherwise.

[itsnotaonesie]

Yeah I definitely can't argue with that, but you can't sit there and tell me yours hasn't been messy too.

[dothelokimotion]

Not all of it was by my design.

[itsnotaonesie]

Right, right, and I didn't ask for any of the weird crap that's happened to me to happen to me. I feel that.

[dothelokimotion]

"Weird crap"?

[itsnotaonesie]

The thing with the spider, and the dying thing, and then getting stuck in Hadriel and getting stuck here. All weird crap. There's probably a lot more than that.

[dothelokimotion]

Hadriel?

[itsnotaonesie]

The place I was stuck before I got stuck here. It was run by these guys that called themselves gods? But they needed to leech off our emotions in order to get power so I dunno. It was weird and I kind of hated it. I ended up there right after I died so it was like double confusing.
