[ open to all ] rest in the silhouettes our fathers and mothers laid before
who: Loki + You
what: Monthly Prompts + Daily Stuff
when: May
where: All around the city
warnings: N/A, will update if necessary
[ i. floating lanterns]
[ Loki remembers.
It almost feels like another lifetime ago. He had come here just after he snatched the throne (or had it been a few years? Time still slips through his fingers) along with Thor. Their conversations had been rough, abrupt. Loki had taken a lantern and hidden himself in the night, a testament to his weakness. A testament to his mother. That wound may never fully heal. But Loki has many wounds like that one and they have eventually lost their power over him. Or their power remained, but they no longer scatter his head with doubts and recriminations. So, he doesnât hide himself this time, though he may linger at the back. One lantern for one person Loki has not taken the time to mourn. He draws a black crown of thorns with a steady hand. When itâs done, he pulls back, turning it over with his fingers before igniting it with a small globe of light which he conjures in his palm. Both of these combined, Loki lets it bob briefly before lifting it into the air with a murmur. ]
Goodbye, sister. You died a glorious death.
[ ii. sharing life ( and magic ) ]
[ In many ways, Loki was easy. He doesnât like to admit it, but a little flattery, smiling, buttering him up can go a long way. Of course, not everyone can pull it off. There are only a scant few whose opinions truly matter to Loki and even then, he wavers. It is a dangerous thing, trying to earn a personâs regard. Loki only had to look at his own father to know that it is a treacherous path. But he has also been softened in time, the edges going a little blunt. Laura had asked for a magic show and Lucy wanted to know more stories. Both of which Loki is more than happy to combine. On the steps of his theatre, he holds a tiny street play.
With puppets. Yes, puppets.
Though heâs not moving them with his hands. There are small bursts of gold sparkles and sometimes, the puppets change size, voice and colour. The children clap in delight as Loki hangs back, letting the show play out. ]
[ iii. a boy and hislying cat ]
[ Recently, Thor had gifted him with this . . . animal which meant Loki was partly saddled with it. He says partly because for the most part, the creature itself doesnât seem to need more attention. It mostly spends its time, slinking around Lokiâs legs, yawning and —
— and mocking everything Loki says with a low drawl, constantly uttering Lying at him. What was he even lying about? And it was worse in public when he is talking to someone and almost immediately — ]
Lying.
[ Loki lets out a hiss, turning away from whoever he was speaking to, to address the cat. ]
I will strangle you.
[ The cat blinks, licking his paws, not the least bit perturbed. ]
[ closed - to alex ]
[ True to his word, Loki does make an appearance at the coffee shop. It is fascinating how many life-changing or important moments have taken place here, he muses briefly. Here, he started talking to Steve as an equal. Where he slowly forged an (uneasy) connection with Tony Stark. For this, he dressed in his black suit, waiting at a table politely, his hands folded on his lap as he watches the people pass by. For once, he doesnât feel quite so . . . apart.
Was that wrong? These people would be gone. He could close his eyes and forget they ever existed. But Loki struggles with wrongness and his ability to tell such things apart has long eroded away. ]
[ wildcard ]
[ Loki mostly spends his time at Gramarye, working his magic or answering queries. The Odin's Odeon is also a location where Loki spends most of his time, so if anyone is interested in hosting an event/play/the arts, Loki will support it.

Yeah, they take cold brew and add nitrogen to it. Sort of like guiness, I guess? It has little bubbles and takes smoother and sweeter and more rich.
no subject
I'm not sure that is a good idea.
no subject
[And the important bit:]
It has more caffeine than normal cold brew.
no subject
I suppose I'm not opposed to trying it.
no subject
no subject
That seems fair.
no subject
Good, because you would not believe some of the weird flavored things people turn into alcohol.

[Honestly, she hopes it's something really cool and random, because well, Loki of Lokiness.]

[Alex looks impressed and slightly dazed by that, and gives him a silly grin.]
That sounds amazing as hell.
no subject
There are many worlds out there. I've visited quite a few.
no subject
[She means look where they are already. It can't be that hard.]
no subject
Riverview is a pocket dimension of sorts. The portal is the only means in and out. I do not think it has the ability to expand in that way.

[ It's not something Loki considers. He's always been cognizant of stars and space, after all.]
I thought Earth could not make it very far in terms of space travel.
no subject
[As long as she doesn't end the world before that.]
But that's what I met by miles away: way more advanced than anything beyond science fiction.
no subject
I suppose.
no subject
Humans always want to see beyond the stars, right?
no subject
You don't even know what you're looking for.
no subject
[Alex doesn't sound the slightest bit offended at the words and just rolled her shoulders for a minute, before looking up to the ceiling with a grin.]
But that's what humans do, right?
no subject
I suppose it is.
no subject
We are complete weirdos.
