[ open ] you are boundless in beauty, with fright in your face
who: Loki + You
what: TDM + Monthly Prompts
when: The month of February
where: All over Riverview
warnings: Will add if ratings change
[ i. Crystal caves ]
[ Of course, the minute Loki heard about the crystal caves, he was there. But he picked a time late at night when visitors had trickled down to nothing and he couldn’t be interrupted. With a small knapsack, Loki collects a few shards and geodes of crystals, turning them over in his hands with a secret grin. He holds one or two up, reaching out with his magic and watching them glow with the faintest traces of glee. After a while, he tidies them up and rests his back against a large oddly cut prism as he watches the lights cast threads of colour over the ceiling.
Loki would have go home eventually. Back to his empty apartment. Every time he thought about it, he hated it more and more. When did being alone become so hard? His eyes droop slightly, letting the strange light-magic of the caves wash over him. ]
[ ii. Dream-sharing ]
[ Loki’s dreams are chaotic things by nature. To reflect his own, obviously. He’s had happy, vainful dreams. Draped in royal colours, amidst the crowds calling his name. Bowing, reveling in his presence. The king. Other times, the dreams are dark and cold, covered in the dust of hollow moons and the strangeness of monsters, alien fingers brushing against his temple. Cold, always cold. Loki manufactures the sensation for his dreams. This time, the dream is simple. Straightforward. There is a crater on the ground and in the center, stands Mjolnir. Loki merely stands beside it, his hands clenched at his sides.
He does not reach for it. ]
[ iii. Clearing the Air ]
[ Once the mist made contact, Loki fled. He has always been a mass of seething resentments and bottled up anger issues and the mist had conflated them in his mind, making him see red everywhere. And Loki, who has quite the temper already could also foresee the danger of being in a city full of people when all he wanted to do was lash out at everyone closest to him. Minor infractions felt like grievous wounds and well . . . Loki generally treated those with a reverence that was probably bad for his mental health to begin with.
( they’re not all imagined slights, they’re not, they’re not, they’re not )
So he finds himself a fair distance away from Riverview, closer to the Abandoned City. Empty. Alone. And he sends out a jet of magic towards the trees, watching them crunch and collapse, splinters flying everywhere. This would be easier, better with someone to fight against, to expend that kind of energy, but the danger of losing control was too great. Pursing his lips, he sends another wave, watching it rip apart more of the forest when he hears approaching footsteps. The red haze fills his gaze. ]
You had best leave. Promptly.
[ v. Wildcard ]
[ Loki can be found at Gramarye, checking out the various stalls for the festival and even sitting down besides a bonfire, deep in thought. If you have a scenario in mind, you’re welcome to PM me or ping me at

I believe I know where that is.
no subject
[She isn't going to take up his time if he is, but it's always more helpful to go with a guide, she's found.]
no subject
[ He likes her and that is not a feeling Loki recognizes often. ]
Just follow me.
no subject
[She follows Loki down the corridor, still taking note of signs along the way.]
I'm just about ready to begin my work in earnest, now that I'm done catching up on the procedures.
no subject
What is your focus?
no subject
[Her answer is immediate.]
There are a few locations listed in earlier notes about locations with some potential. I intend to head out there with Link soon and try to find one of them.
no subject
[ Mostly because Loki didn't care and he wasn't sure what kind of answers the ruins could pose. Still, he can't say it's a boring study because it isn't. Just not one he is invested in. ]
What kind of potential?

[She glances to the signs along the corridor, taking note of where they're heading.]
What kind of work do you do here?
no subject
At times, I am called to help implement magics at the monthly festivals they employ here. I also give lectures and do consultation work.
no subject
[If the two festivals she's seen already are any indication, they vary quite a bit.]
Maybe I'll attend one of your lectures. I wouldn't say I'm an expert on magic, so it would be good to learn more about it.
no subject
[ He's not sure how much it helps and it gets very technical, but Loki loves his magic dearly. ]
And no, each festival is quite different. Though all in the spirit of . . . integrating yourself with others.
no subject
Are they? Though I suppose most festivals would have a similar spirit in the end, no matter their purpose. Because they are meant to be celebrated together, rather than in the home or in a temple.

Thankfully, they leave it open to all. Foreknowledge is unnecessary. Simply a desire to connect paves the way.
no subject
[One still can, really, but even a few measures against it is welcome.]
I'm not against it either. I like getting to know new people.
no subject
I have no doubt you'll make the most of things here.
