1. RESCUES IN THE ACIDIC RAIN.

[ Whenever Loki ventures out into the foul weather he conjures a green magical shield, the same he last used when Leah's construct was attempting to sever his head in Mother's dimension. Droplets that spatter all over it flash a pale lime-gold so that it appears he may be walking around in a glittery bubble, but the fact remains he only dons the protective enchantment to get from Point A to Point B; reaching outside of it is an unpleasant experience even for him.

That's how it starts, anyway.

He eventually finds himself an inadvertent taxi service for anyone caught in the downpour. Whether it's a person hunched down against an abandoned vendor's cart, someone shrieking in a panic as their tenth umbrella of the day turns to tatters, or reluctantly agreeing to ferry food from one household to another (no good deed is too menial for him this week) the God of Mischief is obliging to those in need.

But he doesn't decline any rewards for services rendered, either. ]

2. FIREFLY AT 2AM.

[ The magical shield also happens to glow in the dark, making it a point of interest for anyone with eyes who happens to spot Loki moving around the Quarantine like a mobile nightlight, along the streets and up the glassy walls of skyscrapers. Green orbs swish overhead and light his way as though streetlamps are bobbing along at his request.

If anyone wants one, they are free to shout him over from their hidey-hole. There's not much else to see out there that wanders around so casually in a corrosive downpour, let your curiosity take over. ]

3. A REAL BOAR OF A TIME.

[ With his spellcraft invulnerable to something as ordinarily challenging as acid rain for everyone else, one way or another word gets out about what Loki can do and he feels compelled to help some of the teams ranging out into the jungle intent on setting up their scientific dohickies. The most important turn of events, he feels, is that with his full-body bubbleshield there is no need for a fugly bodysuit, while on the flipside his permanent shimmer in the drab conditions mean that Loki is often requested to head up the front of a party.

When boars attack, the green glow of his shield is joined by the crimson glimmer of his ancestral blade Laevateinn, slashing down their beastly opponents in two or three nimble strikes. Curious why it doesn't take much more effort than that? Loki himself will shrug and tell you, ]

The blade cuts through any hide.

[ It can be intensely handy sometimes when people can bear to have such a dangerous thing around, much like Loki himself. Additionally, he provides marshmallows for those hard at work in the jungle. ]

4. DRAINED.

[ A near daily, constant use of sorcery has Loki on edge during rare moments, rubbing his head as he takes refuge in shops and under eaves of buildings when his headache worsens. He can be found with his feet up on overcast veranda benches, taking a break from supporting his own shield and the magical orbs loaned out across the city, tired-eyed and usually nibbling at a snack for an energy boost. Not that he needs to eat anything, it's more a comfort thing. Mental rousing.

Anyone who spots him will find he doesn't leave in a hurry when approached and those who depend on his magical orbs are free to call him up and find out why their rooms have suddenly gone dark. ]

Comments

... Hmm.

[ Cosied up with his arms around Jason, it's a minute of dozing before Loki relents and sits up, brushing his clean knuckles down the side of Jason's face. Sated and relaxed, his smile is easy and open. ]

I'm gonna find us some milkshakes from around the corner. [ That should help cancel out Loki's breath, anyway. ] You pick out some clean clothes and I'll be right back, yeah?

[ Starting to reluctantly slide off a very comfortable lap. ]

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Jason had stayed still to, just to let the trickster rest. He couldn't help the lopsided grin on his features. Namely, at that brush of knuckles. ]

A milkshake, to? Your spoiling me.

[ Once Loki was off his lap he pushed himself to sit up more, tugging his shirt carefully off to not get any of the mess in his hair or on his face. ]

Yeah, I'll just be a minute or so.

[ikols]

You're worth spoiling.

[ Zipping himself up, he salutes him with two fingers before sashaying his way out of the shop on lazy hips. He heads to an ice cream parlour, opening it with a flick of his hand so that the weak locks turn to air and evaporate, and sets about making them two over-topped sundaes with cream and cherries and enough sauces to instantly give them diabetes.

All the while Loki hums to himself. One Direction? Maybe. It's the same smile he wears when he returns to the biker shop, holding up his prizes; one green mint, the other raspberry red. ]

I return from the war with riches!

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ Jason couldn't help the smile that crossed his face at Loki's come back. He pushed himself up pulling up his new pants and zipped them back up the messy shirt balled up and tossed aside for now. Another black shirt grabbed off a hanger, one the buttoned up with pin strips. He pulled it on, only buttoning a few buttons before tugging his jacket back on. He tossed a few things into the pile he had been building until Loki returned.

He turned when Loki returned his eyes widening like a child at a candy store. ]

Fuck that looks good. [ Seeing an opportunity he couldn't let it slide by once the words popped in his head.] But the shake looks pretty good too.

[ikols]

[ A wink is Jason's reward for his smart mouth, along with a peck on the lips in passing as Loki sets the desserts down on the shop's counter. ]

And you're looking just as delectable as before, I see. That may cause us so many problems, Jason.

[ Not that Loki can possibly guess at what they might be, sucking innocently on a spoonful of ice cream. ]

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ A thought questioning if Loki had rinsed his mouth out at least passed his mind, but he didn't voice it. Pushing that concern down in exchange for a light grin, and taking the red raspberry and takes a spoonful himself. ]

Why thank you, and for the record. I don't see a problem there.

[ The suitcase was half full. along with the pants Loki had chosen tossed in. He would be gentlemenly and carry them once he closed it. For now he took a second bite.]

Want anything else from here, or should we move on? Finish playing models.

[ikols]

[ Jason needn't worry; some fizzy soda has since scoured Loki's lips at the parlour. ]

Can we hit up the hardware store? There's a gift I want to get.

[hititwithacrowbar]

[ He nodded at the question, lifting the case with ease, his jacket draped over it as he motioned for Loki to lead while he worked in the ice cream treat.]

Let's head that way then. I haven't been here much so you'll have to show me the way. We can go anywhere you want.
