I will take your word for it.

[ And that's not something Loki does lightly. ]

[spellslots]

[Taako snaps his fingers, as if arriving at a thought.]

It's like that real bad erotica you were reading at the expo. It's funny cause it's just so awful, you know? Like a bunch of humans in real bad make up pretending to be aliens.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His expression clears up at that. ]

Do they do that often?

[spellslots]

A lot, sometimes on purpose, but sometimes I think it's a money thing. Which like, I guess I can admire the dedication to make a movie when you can't even afford a decent eyeliner, but the results are kinda tragic.

[dothelokimotion]

You've stirred my curiosity.

[ He's never taken the time to truly peruse the media. ]

What would you recommend?

[spellslots]

[Taako considers the question over another sip of his drink, trying to come up with a few good ideas.]

Snakes on a Plane is pretty fucking hilarious, Birdemic, Tremors. There's this one called Troll 2 that's fucking amazing, I loved it.

[Honestly, he kind of likes horror movies, B-grade or not, which is how Birdemic and Tremors end up on the list.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Okay but. ]

Birdemic?

[spellslots]

It's pretty much what it says on the tin. Birds turn evil and start attacking people, really bad uh, shit. Special effects? I think that's the word. The birds spit acid and burst into flames.

[It's amazing, it's beautiful.]

[dothelokimotion]

I would not mind having a bird like that.

[ Loki, you're missing the point. ]

[spellslots]

Only if you can control it, otherwise you're gonna end up with a real fucking mess.

[Also not the point, Taako.]

[dothelokimotion]

I could muster something. Magically.

Now I'm tempted to see if we can find these exploding birds.

[spellslots]

Pretty sure they're fake as shit, but hey, if you can make sure I don't fucking die, I can turn into a bird. We can terrorize some dipshits.

[Please don't explode him tho]

[dothelokimotion]

I can cloak you in an illusion so it may seem like you exploded and died. Would that suffice?

[spellslots]

Fucking perfect, exploding and dying is one of the least fun ways to go.

[Ugh, Refuge.]

[dothelokimotion]

Yes, let us . . . avoid that particular pitfall.

[ Loki has had explosions lobbed at him. It's not fun. ]

[spellslots]

Then you've got a deal. How's a blood hawk sound, just for the drama of it?

[There's only a handful of birds he can do, and a blood hawk is one of the cooler ones.]

[dothelokimotion]

That seems manageable.
