[ 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 [plurk.com profile] captainkink ]

(Dorian had intended to take notes of the transformation, and he's admittedly only distracted from that for a moment. He quickly starts jotting down observations in shorthand, trying to sense the flow of magic that went into this illusion, but it's strange and vacant, unwilling to respond to this prodding, illusive by design.)

Perhaps it's a trait of the magic used...?

(It was muttered under his breath, more to himself than to anyone else present.)

What... (finally he looked to Loki again.) What equations go into a casting like this?

Something you know by feel, but not numerical value.

(He nodded. Self-taught meant self-disciplined, after all.)

But you don't actually manifest anything, simply a trick of the mind?

(His olive eyes dart around at the illusion scene before looking back to Loki.)

And this conjuring, where do the items come from?

[personal profile] tevinteraltus 2018-03-22 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
(He was really starting to get annoyed with that response. He took a breath, setting down his notebook and pencil.)

Honestly? Things don't simply burst into being.

(He shook his head.)

I realize you identify as a god. Be that as it may, I find it highly unlikely if you are capable of the divine providence of spontaneous creation you would allow yourself to remain here.

(He pauses.)

That is, of course, unless you prefer the quarantine to being recognized and worshiped as a god.

(And he finds this highly unlikely.)
tevinteraltus: c: ?? (009)

[personal profile] tevinteraltus 2018-03-26 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ah!

(Now they were getting somewhere.)

So it isn't spontaneous creation, but a willful assembly of an item from its baser parts.

Indeed it would, but also easy to abuse.

[He frowns slightly.]

Some power is not meant to be wielded by anyone.

It isn't blame so much as right.

You are a god, you've claimed as much.

[He makes a motion, as though indicating his point.]

But did you create the universe?
tevinteraltus: {<user name="curled">} (017)

[personal profile] tevinteraltus 2018-04-06 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Why would a god create a universe?

[He pauses for a moment.]

Out of loneliness, I assume...or boredom. Possibly both.

[He rolled his shoulder in a shrug.]

Perhaps, though it is the belief of Andrastians in my own world that the Maker created all from nothing, but turned away from us when our arrogance proved too great.

[personal profile] tevinteraltus 2018-04-12 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
No?

[And he's genuinely curious.]

Is it not possible some all-dominating force in the universe set everything in motion and then, disgusted with the lot of you, vacated the premises eons ago? How would you know? From whence did you come? And for what purpose? Have you never wondered?
tevinteraltus: {<user name="anabiotic">} (062)

[personal profile] tevinteraltus 2018-04-13 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? You were?

[ Look, Loki. It's hard for him to fathom just talking to an immortal god, okay? Maybe a demi-god? Sure. ]

What was the beginning like, before there was light in the void?
tevinteraltus: {<user name="curled">} (017)

[personal profile] tevinteraltus 2018-04-18 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
And your father never spoke to you about the origin of things?

[ It's not accusatory, the question. He's simply curious. ]
