what: prompts taken from the july tdm
when: post-july 20th
where: all over
warnings: tba
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. ]
no subject
[ Instead of delving into a discussion about gods and theology, he fishes some mints from a pocket and knocks one back himself just for something to do. ]
no subject
Thanks. For the Mint and the help.
[She thinks about it for a moment or two.]
I guess this means I owe you something in return.
[She's trying to think of a skill she can use but nothing comes to mind.]
When I start working, I can offer you a free drink. I got a job at Lucifer's bar. Lux, I believe.
no subject
[ He'll take whatever recompense comes his way. ]
How'd you get a job there? Must have been an interesting interview if you were toting his dad's merch around your neck then, too.
no subject
What do you mean? He hadn't mentioned anything.
[Lucifer had left out the fact that he is the actual devil and at the time Kate hadn't thought to ask. Now that Loki's mentioned something it doesn't take her long to connect the dots.]
Wait, he's that Lucifer? The fallen angel who was once the left hand of god?
no subject
[ Loki shrugs, amused at her surprise. Lucifer was entirely upfront about his identity to Loki, two sides of the same coin, although perhaps that was why. ]
How many people do you know called Lucifer? The name wasn't at all a hint?
no subject
[That's what she assumes anyway.]
It makes sense. [Maybe she should be more surprised than she looks.] Maybe I didn't want to ask. I'm not really sure at this point.
no subject
[ Loki cocks his head, leading them under the magical shield to the entrance of the communal housing. The tone he uses is light and observational, looking ahead through the hissing rain. ]
Sounds like you're afraid of him.
no subject
I'm not afraid of anyone. [It's spoken with more force than she meant to. She's tired of everyone assuming that she's afraid or needs protection. It's true that Loki is helping her through the rain but she doesn't consider herself helpless.]
I wasn't used to things here then. I thought it was just a name.
[There is defiance in her tone, despite the fact that she'd thought wrong.]
