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

[metalmenace]

Unfortunately, they tend to get in my way and it's not as if I can deal with them in the way that I normally would.

[aka toss them around and kill them for interrupting his weird little crusade against evil]

[ikols]

... The last time SHIELD tried to imprison me, I ensured the agent in question was stripped and locked in the cell they constructed for me. I'm afraid they best advice I can give is, 'avoid them'.

[ It's not as if Loki is going to suggest working alongside those hypocrites. ]

[metalmenace]

Sound advice as always, Loki. [Ignore that his tone is very dry when he says that.] I'll make sure to remember that on the off chance I return home.

[Because clearly he doesn't already do this or anything of the sort.]

Do you have any other bits of advice that you would like to share or is that it?

[ikols]

You don't plan on returning to Earth-616?

[ Hey now, mAYBE YOU SHOULD. And leave Loki his new home, free of people who know his worst deeds in a former life. ]

What if all of Latveria burns to the ground because you're gallivanting around a stray moon? Irresponsible of you.

[ Yeah, those are Loki's true concerns. ]

[metalmenace]

I don't believe it can be considered that anymore, but I don't plan on returning any time soon.

[Let me play this tiny violin for you since you're stuck with people who know all sorts of terrible things here.]

That is already the state of Latveria, as I abdicated the throne and a civil war decided to happen.

[He made sure there were provisions in place for a peaceful transfer from a monarchy, but nooooo, Bendis gonna Bendis.]

[ikols]

Everything happens so much! Each time I die, you all fuck it up! [ Can you even believe this!! He is so exasperated. ] What do you mean, it can't be considered ... what, exactly?

[metalmenace]

[He'll just not comment on that. Victor left his country because he felt he needed to and he doesn't want to have a discussion about it.]

Earth-616. It's not quite the way it was before, as it was destroyed and rebuilt.

[ikols]

[ ... Huh. ]

Right. [ The Avengers and co would take care of their own; Loki has one priority. ] And I'm suddenly reminded of your pledge to aid Verity. What of her?
