Who: Loki + You
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes
When: Right here, right now.

[ video ]

[ Loki is sitting on a chair, decked in . . . a large fancy red robe. The background music is currently playing this song, something he heard on the planet and immediately stole for his own needs. He's sitting on the chair, legs slightly up in the air like he don't care because guess what — ]

It seems my request was approved and I am now the captain of the First Breath. Rest assured, I will treat my crew benevolently. Possibly with beer and movies.


[ i. knife play ]

[ Loki has never liked competitions.

Which seems like a paradox because Loki certainly likes to win. But he never had the acumen for Asgard's sports. He could barely lift their swords and axes, after all, constantly stumbling and falling into the dirt. A weakling. It was his mother, a shield-maiden of old who gifted him with his daggers, showed him the form he needed. And like the crack of a white, Loki's knife-throw was impeccable. He could cut down men twice his size meters away. So he found himself here, one of the Bright Birds (for now), flicking daggers at the bulls eye with ease, letting the applause wash over him.

It felt . . . good. That doesn't happen very often for Loki. Briefly, he wonders if this is how Thor feels all the time. He waves back briefly. ]

Why thank you. Please bring out a challenge, next time.

[ ii. poker ]

[ Money is not something Loki gives a lot of thought to. He has noticed the decent influx of money that comes to him via the Atroma and he is a little pleased. A twisted sense of appreciation in a way (something Loki has never been fully able to rebuke, even if he recognizes where it stems from). Either way, he's not going to complain about it as he moves the cash forward before leaning back with a lazy smirk. His opponent looks most disgruntled, folding his cards and leaving Loki with the winnings. As they leave Loki's table, some of Loki's cards vanish in a flicker of gold light. As the next person approaches, Loki smiles, sitting up straight. ]

Care for a game?

[ iii. thor merchandise ]

[ Eventually, the lure of competing (and winning easily, even if he is cheating half the time) gets old, so he takes up the lucrative job of marketing. Everyone who comes up to the stall gets a Thor button to pin on their shirts. Unfortunately, after a while, the button changes to "THOR SUCKS" because that's just how life is. However, when you come back for your refund, Loki is gone.

But for now, you can come up and get some authentic Thor merchandise! ]

[ wildcard your adventure! ]

[ Loki can be found at the fashion shows, checking out art galleries and the libraries. You can drop a PM for an idea/starter or ping me at captainkink ]

Comments

[hollystrike]

Oh, drat. You have far more style about this whole captain thing than I did. Maybe I should invest in a robe.

[She just applied for Captain to piss off one guy. But this whole announcement is hilarious.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ See? Legitimate reasons! ]

I can lend you mine. Or provide a suitable illusion.

[hollystrike]

Oh, a magical illusion robe! You can't go wrong with one of those.

[She's down for it. She likes you already.]

[dothelokimotion]

It is rather easy to conjure whatever clothing I need.

[hollystrike]

Really? Could you conjure a crown made of tin foil to go with it?

[She's not even mocking. She'd love a foil crown.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He squints. ]

Yes. Easily.

[hollystrike]

Lovely. [Illusion magic is the bomb. She's only got the most rudimentary stuff down.] I suppose people won't take me very seriously with a foil crown, but they've never taken me seriously at the best of times. It's a tragedy.

Oh, but congratulations on your captaincy. I should have said that first, I suppose.

[dothelokimotion]

Thank you.

I plan to make the most of it.

[hollystrike]

As you should. Do you have any other plans besides movies and beer?

[...actually.]

What movies?

[dothelokimotion]

Whatever is available.

Or we'll make our own.

[hollystrike]

Are you aware of the little theatre complex we have on the Iskaulit? You might find all manner of flawless movies tucked away in there.

[They're all B- to Z- grade, actually. With the possible exception of The Princess Bride.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Huh. ]

Are they not being used?

[hollystrike]

Certainly not all at once. Often not more than once.

[dothelokimotion]

Now I'm curious to try watching two at the same time.

[hollystrike]

Oh, that could be fun. I get bored very easily, I might as well mix it up a little.

[dothelokimotion]

I imagine it is difficult to gain a certain amount of entertainment here.

[hollystrike]

Oh, yes. Boredom for days. [She says it so breezily.] But you can find entertainment where you may, I'm sure. Being captain is certainly an interesting endeavour.

[dothelokimotion]

Are you one yourself?

[ He hasn't been keeping track. He didn't really care about the captaincy until he got it. ]

[hollystrike]

I've always been one in spirit. The Atroma decided to acknowledge it just today. [Grin.] Captain Katie McCoy, at your service.

...though I suppose that doesn't sound very inspiring. Perhaps I'll change it.

[dothelokimotion]

Well-met indeed.

What would you change it into?

[hollystrike]

Mm, perhaps something more piratical, like Mad Maggie Morgan. Or Lady Alixandra One-Eyed, Knight of Phlan.

[...Katie don't throw D&D characters at the God of Mischief]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He blinks. ]

Are those real people?

[hollystrike]

I'm sure they're real somewhere. Why, do you think they might complain?

[dothelokimotion]

That's hardly my concern. Though I would think those weighty names would prove difficult to get far.

[hollystrike]

True. They're both very long, too. What if someone needs to warn me to duck? Perhaps I'll just go by Kate. Or Bonny Kate.
