[ the feed starts with loki, primly dressed in a suit and his hair slicked back. he even has his crown of horns on, to signify his prestige. all in all, he looks impeccable. a perfect facade. loki then clears his throat, hands folded on top of the desk. ]

Greetings. I am Loki of Asgard, new Mayor of Sunset Falls. I have been sworn into the position and intend to uphold it, despite the fact that this position seems to have . . . curious additional problems attached to it. Such as maintaining a hellmouth and fostering peace between supernatural clans. I don't understand why this is my job and not the Sorcerer Supreme but who am I to complain? I do wonder if it means that I'm require to add a Supreme as well, since I'll be taking on Stephen Strange's duties.

Oh, and I'm supposed to make a pact with a Greek God or I'll die a gruesome death. Which isn't really all that appalling, I have those every five years. But I suppose I must, though I don't grasp why they need to be Greek. The lowest of all pantheons. Which one would you recommend?

And lastly, I hear there has been issues of drugs in the community. I don't really understand the mortal desire for hallucinogens and the like, but I have created a Public Service Annoucement to guide you on the right path.







That is all.

[ Have a grumpy 16-year-old. Incidentally, in Nico’s universe, a god of another pantheon will see an aura around him identifying him as a Greek demigod. Loki may be able to tell. ]

They’re not the lowest pantheon, and why do you have to make a deal with them?

[dothelokimotion]

[ hmm. ]

Yes, they are. I've met Zeus. He's the worst. And I knew Odin personally.

Apparently it's needed to avoid death.

Whichever one is easiest to kill.

Just in case.

[dothelokimotion]

While you have a valid point, I think that would make the pact difficult to navigate.

Can we get free ice creams in Sunset Falls now?

[dothelokimotion]

[ bluntly. ]

No.

What?? That job comes with a hellmouth?

Lucky!

( if this sounds angrily jealous, it's because it is. )

[dothelokimotion]

I could sell it to you if you want. Probably.

Congratulations.

[dothelokimotion]

Thank you. Though such an outcome was to be expected.

[From her feed, Mayuko is in City Hall as well. There are the sounds of refurbishment in the room because it has been a loooooong time since anyone ran with or against West and subsequently became the backup mayor. But she has the camera on her to let people work.]

I don't think it HAS to be Greek deities; those two are just already in Sunset Falls.

Also as the runner-up, I'm your deputy mayor. Also got the big book of rituals, also bound and cursed to become demon chow unless a pact is made with a deity. Exciting times.

[dothelokimotion]

Their paperwork is abysmal. And perhaps the deities here require more research.

if I was gonna do drugs, President Cap telling me not to do drugs wouldn't fucking stop me. Captain America is a narc.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes, but spandex works on him and mortals are highly susceptible to looks.

[ Angela stops by the mayor's office sometime after Loki's PSA, a small gift box in hand. ]

Congratulations. I had faith you would win.

Here, a gift.

[ She holds out the wrapped box for him to take. Inside is a nice executive pen for his desk. But of course, no gift from Angela comes without a price. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ his expression softens. she really does care, which is a balm right now, when he feels like no one else does. but the office will help with that. he doesn't need to think about his feelings. ]

Thank you. It's lovely.

So much of what you said sounds completely made up.

[But everyone else is apparently taking this seriously, so ???]

Where the fuck do I start? What's a hellmouth?

[dothelokimotion]

It's a dimension to Hell, obviously.

Why would I make this up?

[beatscissors]

[He's waving!!]

I knew you could do it, Loki! I voted for you!

And I recommend Ninny of the Nonny.

[Wait.]

I don't think he's Greek. Maybe I could ask him to be?

[dothelokimotion]

The Kronan God? I'm not sure if choosing him would work.

[atypical_echo]

Grats boss! Though I feel like that PSA guy looks like a bit of a ponce.

Anyway... On the greek god thing, could it be a 'lesser' god? Like, maybe would one of the Muses count? Because that seems up your alley.

Finally, should we be looking into an assistant manager for the Opherium with you having new serious duties? I can start preparing a few posts noting we'll be accepting applications if you need.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't think lesser Gods have that sort of power.

[ muses, certainly not. ]

And yes, that is on my agenda. We'll need support there.

[Several days after the post has gone up...]

I would prefer you didn't die again.

[dothelokimotion]

[ text. loki anxiously twists the ring on his finger. ]

It's fine. I have a few months before it becomes a reality.

[Video]

[daybroken]

Maybe just wait and see if one of the gods reaches out? I mean, if you have to make this pact at all, surely that means someone's got their eye on you.

[dothelokimotion]

Not necessarily. They may be aware of what's happening but that doesn't necessarily motivate them to get involved.
