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.

It's terrible and the irony doesn't escape him but all he wanted in the first place was a choice. And he'd picked a very stupid one and now he had to figure out how to get out of it. So instead of addressing any of that, first thing's first.]
Jason's probably still really mad. I made the choice to go without him and he broke his knife. I haven't talked to him for over a month. [It's a little easier to see he's pouting a bit.] I thought this was the right thing. I think even the monarchs are a little scared of Shuck and I still think Morla would understand that if she were here and she knew, but...[A shrug.] I still think it's the right thing. I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing before I go back out there and that's part of why I'm here. Plus Nico agrees with me. He went ahead for a few weeks but he said he'd come get me when I'm ready to head back out.
no subject
[ Loki says with a puff, sounding a tad dubious. sorry about your plight, Hiro. he knows exactly how furious Jason was, and he doesn't exactly blame him, even if the fury itself was ... well, heated, would be a good word for it. a finger taps against his cheek as he muses over Hiro. ]
Oh, please, Hiro. If I hear another I or me come out of your mouth I may just puke. But you know that, don't you? Even while you justify it in terms of your own morality.
[ ironic that he's having to say this at all, as he's one of the shittiest friends he knows. he doesn't seem to be judging, but perhaps a touch amused by it. ]
Ironic, as I could justify a sheep into the lion's den if I wanted. Some lies are infinitely easier to tell yourself.
Tell me that you took heed in my advice and have taken discretion in your relationship with Nico.
no subject
Damn it.
The question about Nico earns him a raised eyebrow...before he ends up tipping over onto his side and burrowing his face into the mattress.]
Sort of...? I'm not sure how discrete somebody can be when they have to spend a lot of time with them.
no subject
Well, the Seelie haven't found you, as you're not dead, captured, or worse. And no one else is dead, tortured or otherwise obliterated. Small blessings.
[ he drags that hand down his face and rests his chin there. ]
no subject
[All said with his face in the mattress.] We've also been working in neutral territories only. At least until we can get our shards hidden.
no subject
[ Loki looks thoughtful. hiding his shard signature might at least cause confusion for anyone who has a gun pointed at his back. ]
Separately, of course.
[ any quest undertaken to get two items of the same cause would inevitably point back to the two of them. ]
no subject
no subject
People from the other side will know what your shard can do whether or not you learn to activate it. It has a signature, and it would be better to hide it now than later. You know, with all the trouble you've been getting into.
[ there's a pause and he waves his fingers. ]
How about this? Find something to cloak it, and then we'll talk activation.
no subject
You know how to activate them?
no subject
That depends on who's asking.
no subject
Not anybody I know. [That is to say Loki please teach him.] Whenever Morla comes back, that's the first thing I'm asking her for.
no subject
[ mission accomplished! ]
Now that we have our ducks in a row—what's the other part you wanted to tell me?
no subject
It's more personal. So...you have the choice to back out. Wanna back out?
no subject
no subject
no subject
Ah—so he noticed too.
no subject
What.]
Wait what?
no subject
Your affections.
[ and as if Billy can hear him: ]
Kudos, Billy. Your training's paying off.
no subject
[A beat.] And there are no affections involved.
no subject
[ he looks at his fingernails casually. ]
There's a river in Egypt that I've heard quite a lot about ...
[ he starts, as if Hiro can fill in the rest. ]
no subject
I have no idea what you're talking about. [Flatly. But...there's a sigh and he's just drawing the blanket over his head to burrow further away.] I can't have a crush on him. It doesn't make sense. You guys don't make sense. The other reason I'm telling you is to get it to make sense.
no subject
[ the words are said firmly, like there's weight behind them. ]
Because it doesn't make sense? That seems like a poor reason to reject affection. Say—oh—it is true, and you are crushing hopelessly on him, every moment that you deny yourself what you feel is another moment where you're grappling at a whole lot of nothing.
You can turn your head, cover your ears and stubborn yourself into loneliness if you'd like, or you can enjoy the prospect of being someone's companion.
no subject
I like the first option because there's less of a chance of everything getting destroyed. Besides, Jason was already freaking out because Nico was Seelie. Can we not imagine what he'd do if he ever thought there was more to it than that?
[Somehow, Jason always comes up.]
Anyway crushes are supposed to be girl-stuff. This is a little more complicated than that so yeah. First option. I know how to work by myself. I don't know how to companionize myself. [Hiro. Hiro that's not even a word.] Besides I already told you this once. I'm not interested in kissing people. Or dating people.
[Ergo...the problem.] I need to use all of the free time I have working on the R&D and figuring out how to accomplish Shuck's task anyway.
no subject
... a whole lot of excuses.
and Loki raises a brow dubiously, as if he's asking if he's supposed to believe that. he waves it away casually. ]
Casual misogyny aside, they are your feelings, whatever you decide to do with them. There aren't many things that survive in times of war, and that doesn't just include people.
no subject
So you think they'll go away on their own. [The entirely wrong assumption. He wriggles under that blanket, shifting enough so that Loki can see his eyes and the top of his hair and that's about it.]
That would be awesome...besides. Nico doesn't feel the same way so there's pretty much no point entertaining the idea. We're friends. I just got him to admit he trusts me in December. I'm not crazy enough to give him a reason not to. And anyway I came here to learn more from Redgate and see if I can pick up spare info to take back with me for Shuck's task anyway, not talk about the fact that I sometimes daydream about kissing my friends. Think you can help me with that?
