[ Manipulation comes in many forms when one is Loki, he learned this when feathered and chained to a kind little boy and his bird-heart broke when it exploded into something bigger. Manipulation is a hand around the muscles of another, mind and tendon alike, a hook for invisible eyes like a burr falling into a basket of wool.
That's how it feels when the chaos of the 'Danger Rave' matches with the beat of his blood and picks him up, prompting him to dance, wilder and wilder in a crowd that all too easily becomes his. No Big Red Button, this isn't the terror of using too much intentional power, it's drugged minds bowing to the strength of a concept: he wants to dance and so, they do too. All twenty of the bodies around Loki pulsate and thrash like the waves around the eye of a storm, extensions of sentiment. He doesn't feel bad about it, not when they all want to feel lost for a while. Under his thrall is just another version of that.
The air is dizzying in its ozone-sharp scent around the mob as magic pervades bared skin not only from drugs. It's not hypnosis, not really; just suggestion, like in a primal Midgardian offering to the gods.
Or just one god tonight, covered in gold glittery powder. ]
