[ 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.

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

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. ]

no worries <3

[dothelokimotion]

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

[dothelokimotion]

You're excused.

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

[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.

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?

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]

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

[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.

[abheirrant]

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

[dothelokimotion]

My name is well-documented. Most humans, if not all, know me. You're welcome to verify that much with them.

Oh, I'm sure it is patently unwise. But at least it's never dull.

[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?

[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.

[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.

[abheirrant]

Excitement is never a good excuse for poor decision-making.

[superposition]

Well, there's one thing we can agree on.

How very reassuring.

[dothelokimotion]

Never gotten drunk? Never pulled a prank?

It sounds like a very dull, but sensible life you lead.

[dothelokimotion]

Who are you again?

[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?

[superposition]

[ Yeeeah he's not gonna dignify that. ]

[abheirrant]

One may imbibe for reasons other than excitement.

[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]

Yes. That's called depression.
