[ the video opens to billy perched on his bed in what is decidedly not the hotel. he's dressed, unsurprisingly, in black, though when he reaches up to push a few curls back from his face, his nails are red. (gotta rep he and his mom's color.) ]

Hi. Soo.. I was thinking. [ a beat. ] Oh. Wait, uh, I'm Billy, by the way, for those of you that don't know me. I'm a witch, which-- [ heh. ] --is sort of what this is about? .. Right. [ wow, embarrassing. this is why he doesn't do public speaking. ]

Anyway, I was thinking about magic-- [ jazz hands. ] --and people that do magic here. Specifically those of us that, uh, came out of one of the Confluences? Though I guess if there are natives here that want to get in on this, that's probably fine, I don't know. Loki mentioned-- [ another beat. ] My Loki-- [ no. ] Young Avengers Loki? [ ugh. ] .. Whatever, a Loki mentioned magic club, and I don't know how serious he was.. [ leaning back and peering off-camera like he's expecting loki to pop up in the doorway (entirely possible). ] .. but I think it's a good idea?

[ he glances back at the camera again. ] Personally-speaking, it's nice to have other people to bounce ideas off of, test spells with, learn from.. that kind of thing. And who knows, maybe we could figure this Confluence thing out and get the hell out of here, though I'm not holding my breath yet.

[ a pause, and he rolls his eyes at himself, blowing a breath out. ] Which is all to say that if you have magic, are magic, come from a magic world and have a pretty strong understanding of it, or you're just really interested in magic and want to learn or.. whatever.. let's get brunch? What do you guys think?

[ he hesitates, then starts to sign off, then pauses. ] Also, I guess at some point in the future, possibly not even all that distant future, I probably have to create at least one new reality, maybe more? So if you have experience with that kind of thing, I'd really like to talk to you.

[ you're fucking welcome, little loki. ]

[ what an interesting choice of words put together. it tells him enough. ]

Then you have no way of proving my intentions, do you?

[wordiness]

Hence why I said it's a feeling. You are the god of mischief, right?

[dothelokimotion]

Mischief does not preclude manners.

[wordiness]

Is polite mischief as enjoyable?

[dothelokimotion]

If done well.

[wordiness]

I'll take your word for it, then. Are you going to meet up with us if we get this thing going?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he shakes his head slowly. ]

You have more than enough Lokis on hand. I think that's enough for now.

[wordiness]

.. You know you're welcome, right? I mean, just because there are several Lokis here doesn't mean you're not all individuals. [ if.. that's what he's worried about. ] I don't want you to feel pressured or anything, just..

[dothelokimotion]

Am I?

[ loki looks amused, as if the very idea of individuality hadn't even crossed his mind. and in a way, it hadn't. he knew what pitfalls would await him if he wasn't careful.]

[wordiness]

[ is this a trick question? ] Yyyeah? Unless you want to be uninvited, I guess.. or.. you want to be a copy? [ what is he asking about.. ]

[dothelokimotion]

A very generous offer, but I've never been one for clubs. It might be a little out of my age range.

[wordiness]

[ he shrugs. ] Your loss, I guess, but I'm just saying, I make a really good bloody mary.

[dothelokimotion]

[ yeah, this sounds like someone's loss but not his. ]

I think I can bear it.
