[ 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.

A few seconds of death is sufficient, apparently.

[harageous]

. . .

It's a little disappointing, isn't it?

[dothelokimotion]

Personally, I find human sacrifice rather boring. It's always the same thing.

[harageous]

That's exactly the problem! It's gotten humdrum and boring.

Back in the day, we used to make quite the show out of it. It was entertainment!

[dothelokimotion]

It was more of a spectacle in the past.

[harageous]

Right!

There's just no respect for the sacrifice, for the ceremony, for the pageantry! If I've got to sacrifice someone, even for a couple seconds, I'm going to make it an event!

[dothelokimotion]

No one appreciates pageantry anyway. It's disappointing.

[harageous]

You heard that human expression? Pearls before pigs?

( because that's exactly what it is. )

[dothelokimotion]

I vaguely recall it, though I never learned the context.

[harageous]

I've got a human apprentice who explained it to me.

Pearls before pigs is like. Pigs are too stupid to appreciate the value of the pearl.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose that is true, though in my experience, pigs will eat about anything, regardless of value.

[harageous]

That's probably the point.

( is it? )

Don't you worry. You won't have to suffer in silence anymore. I'm no pig.

( someone with good taste is finally reporting in. )

[dothelokimotion]

I'm flattered. I think.

[harageous]

You should be.

I decided we're friends.

( abruptly?

no, she'd already decided. experience a whole alternate universe with someone and it makes you soft for 'em. )

[dothelokimotion]

[ he chuckles. ]

That was quick.

[harageous]

Was it?

Feels like I've already known you for years. And if I liked you then, I'll still like you now.

[dothelokimotion]

[ ah. ]

It wasn't really me. Not in my totality. You may regret it.

OPEN→PRIVATE DM

[harageous]

Wasn't really any of us. Definitely wasn't me.

( maybe in a better life. but that wasn't the cards eda got dealt.

then she chooses to directly message him. any kind of feelings talk wasn't going to be on a public forum if she had any say over it. )

But that life was a little too heartbreakingly good, wasn't it? Missing a lot of the warts of the real one. Means something that that good life for me included you too. I'd regret it more if I didn't acknowledge that.

[dothelokimotion]

. . . I suppose there is some logic in that.

[ he wonders if sephiroth feels the same way. but it hurts too much to think about. ]

mouth, hole. same thing.

[harageous]

Of course there is. I wouldn't be the Owl Lady if I wasn't wise.

( as if that's why she is called the owl lady. )

Nice to meet you again. The name's still Eda Clawthorne.

Your new Hole Wrangler.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he inclines his head with a smirk. ]

Loki Odinson, God of Mischief.

Welcome to the office.

/2

[harageous]

God of Mischief!

( incredulous.

what a turn of event. )

. . . Actually, somehow that kind of seems right.

[harageous]

( but then there's a thought. because she did actually listen to the whole thing. )

Hold up. And you still have to make a pact with another god?

That seems sketchy.

[dothelokimotion]

[ dryly. ]

That's what I said.
