Or a warning.

[ Loki always liked challenge, better. ]

[steler]

I'm not very good at listening to those.

[selfimage]

It seems that you may not be good at listening in general.

[ but the way he says it almost sounds like a compliment rather than an insult. ]

Do you know what I'm the god of?

[steler]

I have the distinct feeling you're about to tell me.

[selfimage]

You don't have to kill the buzz.

[ take that, Kaz. ]

Lies. Mischief. Trickery. Chaos. All those traits that go with it that are required and yet looked down upon.

[steler]

[ too bad it's not video, otherwise loki might get to see kaz smile. imagine it in your mind's eye i guess ]

Inej will be glad to hear I've found a deity worth praying to.

[selfimage]

I'm not generally the type of divinity that people pray to.

[ not now, anyway. thousands of years ago, perhaps, but not now. ]

But you could say that every little scheme, every dirty trick and slight of hand is like a little prayer to me. That almost sounds poetic, doesn't it?

[steler]

Almost.

[ but kaz has never had use for gods, not really. it's a nice sentiment all the same. ]

And yet even a god of trickery can't figure out his way until the room.

[selfimage]

...


No.

[ there's a sort of wistful resignation to the word; he's not entirely that fond of his own failure. ]

Not even divinity can break through that door. [ he weights his words there, if he thought Ahad had a chance, then he would've already taken his opportunity. ] Well, possibly. It'll take more than a few enchanted lockpicks.

[steler]

So it remains an on-going project.

[selfimage]

The next time I do it, I won't fail.

[steler]

Bring me with you, next time.

[selfimage]

Ah, even among the reality-bending and the sorcery, you intend to make yourself useful?

[steler]

Of course. Even where there is magic, there is place for skill.

[he could beat a fabrikator at lockpicking any day. just because they can bend metal doesn't mean they're better.

and true, loki is talking about abilities that lend themselves directly to this but kaz knows his own abilities. he knows he can be useful, and some talk about possible deities isn't going to change that]

[selfimage]

As you will, then.

[ he's not gonna doubt it, but he needed a little test. ]

Do your best not to get transferred.
