[ 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.

[ 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.

[ 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.

[benhargreeves]

[ Hmm. Ben's not really sure Loki is as unbothered as he said, but he seems willing to put it behind them and work together and that's a start, anyway. Ben'll just have to prove over time he's not usually a jerk. ]

Will they work even if we're just carrying them in our pockets? Or do they have to be sewn or pinned on?

[dothelokimotion]

They have to be on your person. Whether it is sewn or carried makes no difference.
