There's a barrier of some sorts in the prison dampening magic. Would you be able to learn anything more about it if you were to investigate?
[She's aware enough of variations in magic, and different branches. Maybe this is too much of a long shot.]

[ to herself: ] Well, that's troubling.
I could try. Magic all comes from the same root, but that doesn't mean that it's coded all the same.
[ there's a resigned sigh. ]
More importantly, just where did they get their hands on something like that? For a world that was skeptical of such forces, they sure made haste in finding a way to nullify it.

That I don't know. [Her voice is clearly frustrated, though none of it's directed towards Loki.] As far as I'm aware, the only ones capable of even performing magic are those with goblin blood running through them.
[So either they kidnapped a powerful goblin with enough talent to pull this off, or a goblin willingly defected to the side of the king. Either way, it's not great.]

Hey, Loki? Are you there? I know this probably sounds odd coming from me, but I could really use a favor.
Yeah, I get the ris --
...er, is it just me, or do you sound considerably less... "guyish?"

...Are we really doing this right now, or can I get on with the point of my contacting?
[Honestly, considering some of the stuff this guy got up to in the mythology, changing his voice is probably the LAST thing I should be weirded out by.]

[Yes, and believe me, I wish I hadn't.]
So you've heard all the info we've got about the Queen's assassination, right? Am I the only one who thinks the King was spinning a line to Riza and Kida considering all the other information we've got?

[Why yes, I am in fact capable of basic math. Thank you, oh kind mistress, for noticing.]
Anyway, I'm thinking we need to find a way to shake out the full story. But with most of the attention on the Order of the Chimera and the goblins, it's going to be hard to get that.
Unless we, I don't know... start spreading a little doubt in the population about the King?

[She doesn't believe in gods (sorry, Loki).]
I don't suppose these texts went into further detail?

[He has a point. Or she. Or is it still he?]
You're the God of Lies, though. Can't you, I don't know, find a way to kind of leak it in? Like, a really subtle thing that kind of weasels into your head.

[Poor Loki.]
Was there a specific branch of magic this Ydite focused on? I'm not very well-versed in the religious beliefs of this place.

[That's not very clear but alright.]
I'll take your word for it. [But back to the original topic at hand:] Do you think you'd be able to sense anything useful about the barrier surrounding the prison?

You want me to write a jaunty tune about the King's indiscretions and sell it to the first bard? What do they call that? Oh, yes—earworm.
[ not a bad way to go about it, but anyone that sang ill of the king may have some retribution in store for them. ]

[Wow, way to use my own words against me.]
W-well, I wasn't thinking of anything that blunt. The song's more of a unity thing. But, I mean, like...
[He stops, and thinks.]
What if there was something people already had doubts about? Something which just asking a question would cause people to try and fill in gaps themselves?
