[ voice | daemon: sabellad ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ The voice that comes out is low and rich, disguised as a gentleman. ]

So we are all here to "save the world". I don't suppose anyone has any idea on how to do that? Or better yet, how far along we are in terms of saving it? 30%? Though I imagine I am being generous with that number.

Alternatively, what do you do all day, bereft of a home?

[dothelokimotion]

[ A beat. ]

Yes. I imagine they do.

[ And he's not going to inquire further into that. ]

Playing nice entails what, precisely?

[hasitsthorns]

[ Probably a wise decision. ]

Exactly what it sounds like, dude. Making friends that you can hold hands and sing Kumbaya with. Or something more than friends, if you're so inclined.

[dothelokimotion]

That might actually be my worst nightmare.

[ Well. Close enough. ]

[hasitsthorns]

Bummer. Sucks to be you.

[ Okay, more seriously- ]

No one said saving the world was gonna' be easy, I guess.

[dothelokimotion]

I am still not sold on the principle. Does it not seem too . . . tame?

[ But everyone seems to affirm this. It may not be true, but it may have some truth. ]

[hasitsthorns]

I lived in a place before this - Eudio - that ran on cuddle power too. That was tame.

[ Rose hadn't actually realized how much, honestly, until coming here and having the opportunity for adventure and excitement again. ]

But we recently went on an expedition to an island shown to us by a magic map. Seems a lot of people dealt with some stuff there was a bit more serious.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki mouths the words "cuddle power" to himself before pinching his nose. But the mention of magic has his ears perked in interest. ]

A magic map? What kind of magic?

[hasitsthorns]

You can ask Vanyel for the details, probably, but he won some ink at the fair we had a month or so ago. Whenever he tried to use for anything, it just made a map of an island a little ways from where we are.

So I guess the ink is more magic than the map, maybe? I don't know if it does anything else.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki makes a mental note of the name. ]

Liquid can be imbued with the properties of magic. I suppose I must see it for myself to know.

[hasitsthorns]

Well, then, you're welcome to come over to our place any time you like.

Vanyel will probably to have someone to nerd about magic with.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki blinks. He hadn't expected any overtures, even casual ones and the very offer has him frozen. ]

. . . Just like that?

[hasitsthorns]

Just like that, [ she repeats and he can probably hear the smile in her voice as she does. ]

I'll double check with him, of course, but... Like I said, I doubt he'll mind.

[dothelokimotion]

[ A long pause before Loki replies. ]

Very well. Inform me when I may arrive.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Hm. She takes note of that pause. It's intersting. ]

Anytime, really! One of us is usually around.

[dothelokimotion]

Nevertheless, I will wait for a proper invitation.

[ Since it might get rescinded once his reputation spreads. ]

[hasitsthorns]

You got it, dude.

Are you a dog person? They're pretty friendly so don't wear anything you'd mind getting fur on.

[dothelokimotion]

I have no issues with animals. But I will take your warning under advisement.

[ It would be pointless to be that way. ]

[hasitsthorns]

The cat will probably be all up on you, too. He acts like he's starved for attention around new people.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Is this normal for mortals?? Loki has no discernible idea. ]

I can manage.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Rose wouldn't actually know, considering she is not a mortal and is about as bad at pretending to be one as can be. ]

Alright, cool. My name's Rose, by the way.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He hesitates briefly. ]

Loki.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Ah. She thought the voice was a little familiar. While she'd never been overly familiar with either Loki in Eudio, ]

Like the god?

[ She has to ask and wonders if she'll get a similar answer to then. If the different versions of the same peoeple are really all that different after all. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ A wry chuckle. ]

As in the God, yes.

[hasitsthorns]

The god, dang.

That's a cool title to have.

[dothelokimotion]

Yes, I am rather fond of it myself.
