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.

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?
no subject
he holds up a hand to him, and then points a thumb backward. ]
That's not what I said.
no subject
Then...what? Those are the only things that won't be destroyed? People change and feelings change. Why can't I force mine to?
no subject
I meant that it's good for there to be a little love in war.
[ there's a little "heh" that accompanies that. ]
There's an immense amount of destruction bearing down on us, banking on the actions of Seelie versus Unseelie that there doesn't seem like there's a lot of space in between for much else.
Do you really want to ignore a little spark of hope, even if nothing comes from it?
no subject
I don't know. If we're already facing a bunch of destruction why risk destroying something else? That's my question. [...and...] The other being why are you so calm about this?
no subject
[ sorry Hiro. Loki tips his head and gives a shrug. ]
You have a little crush. It's not surprising. Seelie or not, it's generally what begins to happen when you grow hair down there.
no subject
Also if he thought there'd be any reaction to the idea of somebody else talking about puberty besides annoyed whining then Loki was sorely mistaken and will find a pillow being flung at his head] Dude! I already heard the puberty lecture from Baymax, please don't make me hear it twice.
[Theres a lingering pause.] ...pretty sure "developing romantic feelings for you friends" isn't exactly what begins to happen. But it's not like my life's been normal up to this point anyway. [Further burrowing until all that's available to see is the top of his hair.]
So...maybe I like him. A lot. Maybe. Hypothetically. It's still a moot point and...what? I tell him, wait to freak him out and make things awkward? Thanks, but no thanks. I know gods do things differently but for normal people this isn't really a good idea. And anyway don't you guys usually tell me to think things through? I am this time.
no subject
[ and that's it. Loki shrugs his shoulders up and eyes the tuff of hair that's now the only recognizable bit of Hiro from above the covers. ]
It's difficult to make-out with yourself, which is preferably how these incidents would end. Well, I was about to say something a little more scandalous, but young ears. Regardless of how the affection is expressed, it's yours.
As much as this may surprise you, you can't out think your own emotions. They'll be there whether or not you make sense of them. You can think out what you'll do with them, but anything else is moot.
no subject
[Loki if you ever mention this again he's going to burn you to the ground s2g. There's a loud sigh as he rolls to peer out with one eye again.]
And that's where you're wrong. I've been out-thinking my emotions since I got here. [He's also been completely ruining everything because of it.] ...don't you remember what you told me in November? About how I might be the one to get him killed? I'm not doing it.
Anyway I thought affection was supposed to be a good thing, not...you know. [Hurt. A lot.] But since we're here? Let's just say that part of this break is just to get away for a little bit and get everything back under control while benefitting from the city of Redgate and maybe asking a certain professor for access to certain buildings?
no subject
A different approach for a different result. You can't keep banging your forehead against the same wall and not expect a welt.
But if you'd like to ignore everything and tuck it away.
[ he eyes him suspiciously. he's all up for mischief. ]
What are you proposing?
no subject
[He finally crawls out from under the blanket, hair sticking up more than usual but with a slightly hopeful and faux-innocent grin on his face.]
I might just be proposing a field trip to a wealth of knowledge? [He lifts an eyebrow.] You guys gotta have a killer library here, right? I wanna go.
no subject
We do.
[ he's already utilized it for more than his university lesson plans. ]
You came all this way for a library.
[ despite himself: ] ... Nerd.
no subject
Not the only reason, but...yeah. [Part of it also was just to see Loki himself but he's not going to actually admit that part. He doesn't need to talk about missing familiarity right now.] I need to see if there's anything there that can help me with what Nico and I are doing.
no subject
How goes the good fight, anyway? Come face to face with any ghouls, ghosties, phantoms, etcetera?
[ he's a bit curious has to how this is going. ]
Or have you just be prepping yourself up for the occasion?
no subject
The question causes him to pause, thoughtful for a moment as he thinks of how to address it. They've come across quite a few and they've scared him shitless, but it's a job. They have to keep going, don't they? And he's getting better at it.]
A couple, yeah. Nico's actually doing most of the dirty work while he's training me. [He looks slightly perturbed, but also slightly awed.] He's been kicking my ass in training. [He shouldn't be cursing, but hanging out with certain people in the Drabwurld makes him think about it much less. He's free from the blankets now, turning so that he's sideways and rolling up the bottom hem of his t-shirt to show off some scrapes and bruises on his back and the side of his ribs. And then, in a rather dry tone:] Demigods don't train like mortals, apparently.
[But he seems to be happy about it anyway despite apparently falling and failing to block a few times.] I'm really, really good with my dagger now though. And Nico's been teaching me some wards to protect myself while we keep doing this.
