It has come to my attention that rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated, so before I disappear into the ether again, is there anything anyone wants of me while I'm here to answer your questions? Form an orderly e-queue.

we're quite neat, yes
you want me to find a way to extract him from one of the bubbles? i won't walk into magic like that lest i too become trapped

[atypical_echo]

Yeah, that's fair. I can't exactly go in solo myself. I'm not really useful except as backup most of the time.

Is there, like, any sort of magic you can do to figure out what the source of the bubble is? Is that something that magic gods can do?

[ikols]

i can't fix everything with magic, imagine how simple life would be if you constantly battered a big red button labelled MAGIC and sorted out all your problems by setting each one on proverbial fire
everyone in the bubbles is under a spell, that loki is now part of the spell itself: he is in a denser prison than anyone else, made of magic himself if he is anything like me

even if i make something to knock some sense into him so he leaves the bubble of his own accord, how would you get it to him?

[atypical_echo]

Huh, that's a really good point. The only thing in my world that is really 'magic' is alchemy apparently, so I'm not used to it. And I didn't think about how he could be even more tangled than most people.

Sorry. That was unfair of me to ask this much of you.

I guess... I guess I'd probably go to Sunset Falls and try and find him. And show him proof that this isn't real.

[Show him pictures of the playhouse, of the things Loki had made, that Mark thought had made him happy.]

[ikols]

you want my advice, here it is:

everyone in those bubbles is living a nightmare, there is no halting the magic until it fades of its own accord
they will be traumatised when they leave and require a great deal of support and understanding
do not go into the bubble for any reason

[atypical_echo]

[Support and understanding he could do, even if it wasn't what he wanted to do.]

A nightmare? How so?

[ikols]

getting what you want all at once? sounds unbearable to lose

[atypical_echo]

Wouldn't know. Getting what I want is pretty rare. But I'll do my best.

Thank you, for talking to me.

[He might still not listen to the advice, because if people can be gotten out he'd want to help.]

But I'm glad you're not going in. If people who are magic have that much trouble. I'm glad you're going to be safe.

[ikols]

someone has to be here to help them when they emerge
they will benefit from your concern too, echo

[atypical_echo]

Oh trust me, I'm super concerned. Being held against your will, no matter how 'good intentioned' or 'good for you' that it's supposed to be, it leaves a mark on you.

[ikols]

that it does, echo echo

[atypical_echo]

[Okay, yeah, he's laughing at that.]

I didn't choose the branding, and not everyone has as lofty a name as a god does.

[ikols]

why echo? who chose it?

[atypical_echo]

Guild. They feel it's 'appropriate' to what I do.

[ikols]

tell me

[atypical_echo]

See, people normally buy me at least a coffee before I share that.

[ikols]

i am poor :'(

[atypical_echo]

Let me guess. But you've got this really nice watch you could sell me?

[ikols]

you really don't wanna tell me this info, do you? :0 MYSTERIOUS

[atypical_echo]

You really wouldn't be impressed, and this IS a public forum. And not to mention you're the Loki I don't know much about, so maybe you'd be weird with it? Not that I think that gods would be impressed.

[ikols]

that's a lot of assumptions, you needn't tell me about yourself if you feel you can't trust me
i understand ;)

[atypical_echo]

Ouch, you're not wrong. Sorry. That said, I don't know you and this is public. And I don't even know why you'd want to know what I can do.

[ikols]

i mean, i'm nosy
so there's that!

[atypical_echo]

I had a friend once who called that 'genuinely interested in other people'

[ikols]

nahhhhhh just nosy :)
