[ the video feed begins with loki in front of his office desk, pretending to shuffle some papers. he clears his throat, folding his hands in front of him. ]

Just some quick announcements to catch everyone up.

1. Sunset Falls is having its Autumn Festival. In perpetuam. I recommend it if you feel the need to fill the repeating days with something to do. They do have pumpkin spice drinks and faire, though apparently it has no real pumpkin whatsoever. We truly live in a society.

Oh, though if you are one of the youth, I recommend staying home. For the feasible month.

2. Stephen Strange is gone. In honour of his memory, I've put piñatas at the festival. Some are filled with candy, some are filled with salt and pepper shakers. No, I will not divulge which piñata has what.

3. There has been a cry for help in the past. If you are going, please ensure you do not do irreparable damage to the timeline. Or step on butterflies. Apparently, that is a cause for concern.

4. We are looking for new management in maintaining the Hellmouth. This is a straightforward salaried job with decent working hours. Contact me if you'd like a job.

[ loki pauses, ticking his fingers off as he runs through this list. finally, satisfied, he turns into steve rogers, giving a beatific smile. ]

"Don't do drugs, kids. And God bless America".

[ now he's done. ]

( ... we're ignoring a lot of this. so much of this. at least for now. it's been a rough few weeks and she's not ready to say anything yet about it, especially not to him. but... )

In honor of his memory? ( it's not like strange is dead. right? )

[dothelokimotion]

No, but he left. And since I'm not returning to Earth, he's all but dead to me.

[redhourglass]

Doesn't feel like we have much of a choice.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps not, but I don't particularly care for the logistics of it.

Not that he was of much use here to begin with.

[redhourglass]

So, what? We're here to be useful for you?

( ok, now she might just be picking a fight. )

[ Looking deeply unamused: ] You ever hear of a swear jar?

[dothelokimotion]

No. Should I have?

[shield]

No, I'd be surprised if you had.

It's meant to discourage swearing. Any time someone swears, they have to put money in the swear jar.

Since I know you're not gonna stop wearing my face, the least you could do is throw a couple bucks in a jar for charity when you can't help yourself.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki shrugs. ]

I'll consider it.

[ Storm believes in accessibility, so she sends a text file of her queries as she sends the video. ]

1. Has there been any news on the missing residents? Is there any way we can assist?

2. Are the contents of these piñatas - whether sweet, salty or pepper - enchanted in any way?

4. What is the Hellmouth?

5. A passable impression of the Captain. I would rate it perhaps a 7 over 10.

[dothelokimotion]

1. Unless you know how to break a timeloop, I'm not entirely sure how.

2. No. They are magic free.

3. It is a portal to Hell. It requires feeding so that its eldritch energies do not overwhelm the world.

5. Thank you.

[agoddessonce]

1. I do not, unfortunately. I would still like to assist; if there are any developments, please do share them.

2. That is the likely the most surprising thing I have learned today.

3. Why do you keep a portal to Hell?Do your residents use it often?

[dothelokimotion]

1. Certainly.

2. Why is that?

3. It is part of Sunset Falls. I cannot destroy it without doing irreparable damage to the town.

Our residents use it from time to time to get rid of unnecessary objects.

[dothelokimotion]

The Hellmouth?

What would you like to know?

[fightcoded]

is it a literal portal to hell
or is it a goth bar that needs a new accountant
paint me a picture here

[dothelokimotion]

It's a portal to hell. Why would it be a bar?

un: T, text—

[voicelog]

the hellmouth will be taken care of, so there isn't a need for new management

[ especially since he is the unfortunate new landlord of the mansion where it resides now. ]

[dothelokimotion]

That is a surprise.

[voicelog]

trust me, it was a surprise for me too

[ who knew that his gift to stephen would be returned so soon? ]

i'll keep the hellmouth happy and you won't even have to pay me for it

[dothelokimotion]

I'll hold you to that, Stark.

[threeisapattern]

what is a hellmouth and why are pinatas filled with salt and pepper a Thing

[dothelokimotion]

I feel a hellmouth is self-explanatory.

And I don't explain jokes.

[threeisapattern]

ok so like does it have teeth or

[dothelokimotion]

It's possible, though I haven't seen any myself.
