[ video + action ] in this world now I am undying ( iw update )

[dothelokimotion]

Who: Loki + You
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: SS First Breath
When: Right now!

( feed: action )

[ the feed turns on and you're not sure why. all is quiet on the ship front. there doesn't seem to be much activity on the first breath, even this late. all is silent. until you hear a crackle. suddenly ice speeds its way over the walls, ceilings and floors of the ship, instantly freezing everything along its path. everything is coated in silvery, sharp ice, cold to the touch.

and for a moment, a shrill scream echoes throughout the ship before going quiet with the feed. ]

( much later: video )

[ loki turns the feed on. he looks queasy and ready to drop off right then and there, but he clears his throat, coughing as it hurts. ]

My apologies. It seems I lost control of my magic. I will immediately see to any repairs. But perhaps people coming by should mind their step in the meantime.

[ he looks like he has more to say, but he ducks his head, turning off the feed. ]

[abracafcku]

Sure - says the one cursed with being complex.

[The tentative smile is a victory for him, so he's going to ride that wave as long as he can.]

But you could be cursed with banality - and isn't that worse? Like, I cannot see you working a 9 to 5 at a collar and tie sort of joint.

[dothelokimotion]

I have worn similar sort of clothes before.

[ but yeah loki would die at an office job. ]

But you're not wrong. I ruled a kingdom for some time. It was tedious.

[abracafcku]

See? That sort of--

[Wait. What? Taako stops and blinks.]

For real? You were a king? Fuck that's cool. Or, I guess not, since you say it was tedious. Sounds cool on the ol' resume though.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he forgets that people don't know their lineage. ]

It is. Thor is king now.

[abracafcku]

Honestly? No offense or nothing, but I can't really see him being king either. He's got the more "I'm gonna smash it with my fists until it stops" vibe than the "going to administrate the yearly crop yield" one.

[He sips his drink and laughs dryly.]

Yeah okay, I can see why it was tedious as fuck for you, too. You don't strike me as the administrative type.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki merely shrugs in agreement. ]

I am not. I managed it well enough for a time, but it is unlikely I will ever take on such a thing again.

[abracafcku]

Probably better for you. [He snorts indelicately, eying Loki over the rim of his glass.]

Lord Smoulder sounds a lot better than King Smoulder. That sounds like you're trying to be some sort of pro-wrestler and absolutely beefin' it into fire demon territory.

Or like. A pornstar name.

[dothelokimotion]

[ what even is a pro-wrestler. ]

I'm quite sure I can do better for a "pornstar" name.

[abracafcku]

Yeah? And if you had one, what'd it be?

[Because color him curious but he's pretty sure the "street you lived on" and "your first pet's name" rule won't apply to gods.]

[dothelokimotion]

Hmm.

What is the criteria for such a name?

[abracafcku]

Kinda depends on who you ask. What kinda porn do the gods enjoy, huh? Some of 'em are puns, some are classy, some are dumb as hell but surprisingly good.

[dothelokimotion]

Gods are generally . . . very open in their tastes.

[ they're not limited in what they enjoy or willing to try out. ]

[abracafcku]

Guess it could be anything then - if you had an alter ego made for sexy fun, what would you call yourself?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki taps his chin with a hum. ]

Silvertongue would work best, I think. That is an official title.

[abracafcku]

[Taako gapes for a moment, then claps his hands together in delight.]

It's perfect. It's more than perfect. Holy shit, it's like it was made for this.

[dothelokimotion]

[ a disturbing thought. ]

I hope not.

[abracafcku]

Nothing wrong with having a versatile naming convention.

[Taako snickers and then immediately regrets it, feeling the stitches pull on his side.]

Silvertongue though, huh? Official title like me being Flip Wizard or is it like "Prince of Asgard" levels of official?

[dothelokimotion]

Official enough that my worshippers and people on Asgard used it.

[ aka "not official official" but enough to leave its mark on history. ]

[abracafcku]

Yeah, so official enough. [He snickers a little and sips his drink a little more.]

A little of Column A and a little of Column B. But considering how we got around to me learning that name? Miiiight have to stick to Lord Smoulder, m'dude.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki purses his lips. ]

I'm not sure I smoulder all that often.

[abracafcku]

[Taako winks at Loki over his glass with a grin that spreads easily across his face.]

Well, you're pretty smokin' so I dunno about that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki huffs, a slow smirk appearing on his lips. ]

Why, thank you.

[abracafcku]

Just callin' it like I see it, m'dude. No matter what, Taako's always got an eye out for the hotties.
