Greetings, residents of Sunset Falls. You may know me, Loki. Odinson. Proprietor of the Opherium, spreader of culture and the arts. Throws the best parties. Bringer of a good time. But I'm here now, as a candidate as a mayor for Sunset Falls.

Tired of the same old? Looking for a little chaos that is fun and not strange people turning up and curses running amok? Tired of the same old heroes running around like the own the place and never being accountable?

Vote for me as mayor and I'll be sure to focus on your needs. Needs for magical education, giving our artists and creative youths a voice in these times and making Sunset Falls the memorable place on the planet.

[ smart. ]

Why thank you.

Is it difficult to run against your own brother? I've never had siblings so... I don't know anything about sibling rivalry.

[dothelokimotion]

We're not typical siblings. We've spent centuries together.

This isn't much of a disagreement or rivalry compared to other instances.

[makeanentrance]

I couldn't imagine it. Sometimes there are benefits to being an only child.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps.

But I imagine being an only child is quite lonely. I was never alone.

[makeanentrance]

I was a shy kid. I liked my solitude. I had my imagination to keep me company.

[dothelokimotion]

And you were never lonely?

[makeanentrance]

I wouldn't say never but sometimes it's more lonely in a crowd.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose it can be.

[makeanentrance]

You never felt lonely with your brother around?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he dwells on that. so many of his memories are not what he remembers them to be, so remaining objective is an uphill climb. he's shed many of the resentments of the past, but who is to say what lies in wait? ]

I did, at times. Some of my brother's friends were irritating and it was easy to feel small. But no, I don't think I felt lonely with Thor around.

[makeanentrance]

You seem to be very social, so I expect you have not been lonely very often.

[dothelokimotion]

I was. But I was trained as a prince. Having those skills were essential.

[makeanentrance]

They must have expected a lot of you, in that position.

[dothelokimotion]

There were certain expectations involved, yes. I was a second prince, so I was not chosen to hold a throne.

[makeanentrance]

So you had to seek other worlds to conquer?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki frowns. he's not wrong, but that wasn't quite right either. ]

The situation was complicated at the time.

[makeanentrance]

[It's just what he expects from many of those in a villainous role.]

Is the situation better here?

[dothelokimotion]

It is a vast improvement.

[makeanentrance]

What if you lose the election?

[dothelokimotion]

It's not the end of the world if I do. Besides, it would simply mean I have other avenues to chase.

[makeanentrance]

Expanding the theatre?

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps.
