PLANS
Mostly building a CR base. Reuniting with Billy Kaplan, possible adventures with Magneto, and building both of those relationships. He'll be possibly teaching some low-level sorcery to a few select students, depending on how the idea itself is received. Otherwise, he plans on traveling around to see some of the sights along Dorchadas (and further, depending). He'll be looking into the sorcery within the world, as well as various kinds of sorcerous explosives, and different kinds of poisons. He'll want to examine the political structure, myths and find out more of the details about the war itself. There may be some rebellions and messing-up-of-things included in this, possibly with anti-shardbearer sentiments.
SUMMARY OF KNOWN DETAILS
✖ Part-time adjunct professor of illusion at a mage uni. Spreading the general illusion bits around town. Gaining some very interesting information from said exploits.
✖ Saber's super super super secret R&D project. There will be trials and errors.
✖ Possible dabblings with the Midnight Court.
✖ Rin, Johnny, Magneto, Zuko, Sansa, Sam, Maleficent
QUESTS
✖ REDGATE | The Walking Dead
TIMELINE OF EVENTS
| SPRING IN 2,701 (Mar, Apr, May) |
- MARCH—Roc, the king of the birds, throws some awful snowstorms across drabwuld. Since Loki's a frost giant, he likely won't become a Lokisicle, but he'll try to find some creative ways to get people un-frozen.
- MARCH—Boons boons boons boons boons boons boons boons boons boons boons.
- APRIL—Histrionic Loki with a crazy emotionally-driving harp in his dreams. He'll find it and destroy it. This also might be an interesting time for his CR, since he'll be a little more sensitive and vulnerable.
- APRIL—Boons boons boons boons boons boons boons boons boons boons boons.
- MAY—Golden swans migrate, devouring and destroying. Loki will be capturing and collecting them to gain some wealth.
- MAY—Possibly beginning to find a place to settle after the monarchs leave. Teaching some low-level chaos magic to a few new faces that he's possibly bunking with.
|
| SUMMER IN 2,701 (Jun, Jul, Aug) |
- OVERVIEW—Refining his own abilities (depending on his boons) and continuing to foster the chaos magic abilities of those who may be around him during that time. Also helping Billy Kaplan with his finesse.
- JUNE—Checking on some of the Jabberwock sites that are affected with the rot. He can't do much in regards to healing, but it'll be a good opportunity to meet CR with the people who may have a better those abilities.
- JUNE—pOSSIBLE MAGICAL TOURNEY?? Using magic? Probably not, but he's very curious to see what other people in the world can do, so he may check it out for observational purposes, and to see if he can learn any new tricks.
- JULY—The sudden violence wrought by the anti-shardbearer demonstration hits a head, and Loki heads to investigate. Possible meetings with Magneto about this, as well as Acts of Vengeance 2: Electric Bugaloo, but with more good intentions.
- AUGUST—That sure is a bazaar, Sansa. Insert domestic bazaar stuff here.
- AUGUST—Leathann's Festival of Lights. SCREW THAT, WE'RE GOING TO THE FESTIVAL OF SHADOWS. Domestic festival stuff here.
|
| FALL IN 2,701 (Sept, Oct, Nov) |
- SEPTEMBER—The magic that allows everyone to understand Drabbish goes nuts. Loki has the All-Tongue and can translate. Who am I kidding? He's going to mistranslate everything for everyone. Enjoy your miscommunications.
- SEPTEMBER—Drunk.
- OCTOBER—Drunk.
- OCTOBER—Oh Black Shuck too.
- NOVEMBER—Rounding up some of the mages/sorcerers from the Leathann prison break—but he's more willing to make deals than he is to turn them in. He'll be looking to gain whatever he can experience-wise/magic-wise/knowledge-wise from the escaped criminals. He also isn't against rounding them up, depending.
|
| WINTER IN 2,701/2,702 (Dec, Jan, Feb) |
- DECEMBER—Drunk hunt.
- JANUARY—Heading back to Caer Scima to blow raspberries at the Seelie from a long ways away. IT'S REBUILT, TAKE THAT, SEELIE.
- FEBRUARY—Murder mystery at the children's festival.

And some aren't the truth, but between you and me, sometimes not even the gods can't tell anymore.
[ he crosses his leg at the knee, leaning back on his palm thoughtfully. ]
But people believe lies all the time. Some are good, some are bad—occasionally truths aren't always in the best interest. But the truth isn't really a good weapon in my arsenal. [ and he sounds sincere when he says that. he doesn't use the truth, but there are other ways he knows how to approach things. lies for the better are still lies, but the better is always for the better. ]
Kind of like how all of Drabwurld is magic. [ he challenges. ]
no subject
You mean like white lies. Lies that are meant to protect people and lies that are meant to make sure things go according to plan. [Give him a second.] Like…lying about secret identities? [It's how he can connect the lesson, really. His superhero status involves lying about what they've done. The Big Hero 6 (so far) has been under the radar and he certainly hasn't told anyone what he's up to.]
And kind of like how all of us are capable of using that magic to our full advantage. Some of us are just better than others. [Fuck Jason. Fuck Jason for telling him he sucks at magic, he can totally be good at magic. Or at least fake it well enough.] The Drabwurld's probably like a playground for you, huh? So many little holes in the world that you can pick and choose what you want to string together.
no subject
there's a loose shrug on Loki's behalf. ]
My abilities are also limited. [ just like everyone's are, but that's not so surprising. just how much, well, those are other details. ] Or so you've seen. A playground, perhaps, but cleverness in small spells with get you further than being dull with the fireworks. If you get my drift.
no subject
Please tell me you're not trying to tell me my magic's useless, too. [Fire. Fireworks. Same thing.] Why? Because the small spells are much less noticeable than the bigger ones?
no subject
Think of a small illusion versus a big one—a small lie is more manageable than a larger one. Why expend yourself when you can let your own cleverness do the talking.
[ and get so much satisfaction out of being smart.
hm! ]
Someone told you that your magic's useless?
no subject
[But it is. It's a lot harder than he thought, but breaking it down piece by piece is helping. At the question he makes a face, rolling his eyes.]
Not exactly. Jason just told me I suck at it. [And it's obvious that he's still really bothered about that.]
no subject
Well, you may have to up the ante.
[ he says smoothly, looking a little satisfied by Hiro's reaction. ]
He caught on right away.
[ Loki says it like it's nothing, waving his fingers as if Jason being good at illusion is just something that happened. ]
no subject
...what.
[...what??? Dude come on! That--that is so very not cool and he suddenly looks frazzled, not to mention a little pissed off. How could Jason get this stuff down right away and he couldn't? What the hell? What the hell? That's completely unfair. Oh man. Oh man was Jason right? Did he actually suck at this? No way, he can't suck at this. It's just learning and applying right? Right?
Uggggh. He falls silent, stewing in his own annoyance and glaring at the floor in front of them for a good solid minute before he responds.]
Maybe I'm not catching on right away, but I'm going to make better illusions faster.
[And normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but it's Jason and he has a point to prove. Good job Loki you actually accomplished something.]
no subject
with Loki it was always about challenge and victory. for Hiro, he doubted it was far from that, either. ]
That's the spirit. We'll start with that lie.
[ with a satisfied smile, he stands, brushing off his coat and straightening the labels. ]
As soon as you tell me a convincing lie, I'll teach you the next step.
no subject
Dude I don't know how to tell you a convincing lie because you're the god of lies! Even lies have to be based on some facts otherwise the whole thing's going to fall apart anyway! It's not like I can just say that it's going to start snowing in my room again and it magically happens because it doesn't work like that!
[...nope. Still stuck on logic. Sorry Loki. He just buries his head in his hands again.]
I hate you. [Even that's not convincing.] This entire room's a giant lie. This spire's gonna collapse really soon because it's not even real.
no subject
well, maybe it was for the better. he looks over his shoulder at him, unaffected by the outburst. the words settle heavily in the air, the tension seeming to hang over everything but Loki. he takes it all in stride. ]
Please.
[ he's been inflicted with worse insults. ]
Whiny McWhinerson, you're acting like you've never jumped a hurdle before.
no subject
goddamnit I just laughed out loud reading that.Hiro usually can just deal with challenges but sometimes he spins out of control and just has to explode for a little while.The interesting thing about it, however, is Loki's reaction. He actually feels all of his anger dissipate as he stares at him and it's funny to him how this is so, so similar.
'Nothing! No ideas! Useless! Empty! Brain!'
'Wow. Washed up at 14.'
Possibly to Loki's surprise (or maybe not…seriously, is this guy surprised by anything Hiro does? Probably not), he actually has to fight back a grin as he shifts to sit more upright.]
I'm too short to jump most hurdles. I've gotten used to crawling under them. [That is to say that he's used to finding other ways around his challenges and this? This one he's not coming up with a good alternative and that's a huge part of what's pissing him off.]
…show me another example?
