4. [video/written]

[When Loki turns the feed on it is really, really, really early in the morning. As in ridiculous-o-clock. And he knows it is ridiculously early and that is why he talks really loud. So that everyone who is in the process of waking up can hear him loud and clear. After all, everything Loki has to tell is very important and everyone should hear it.]

Attention denizens of Luceti!!

[A pause...]

I have everyone’s attention, yes? Good, very good.

From one user of magic to another, I have a question for all of those who practice the art of magic or sorcery. Are there some of you where this is a talent that is hidden within one’s genes or is it mere talent? Or is it something one generates from spells out of books? Or are there some who utilize magic wands or some other magic artifact?

This is meant to start an interesting discussion about the usage of magic, you see? To create a bond between magic users... A magical bond!

[Oh, the pun!

No way in hel Loki is going to announce that he is not quite able to do magic on his own and that most of his efforts end up in giant headaches and maybe one or two floating objects. And no way he will leave it to just one question. Loki likes asking questions.

He leans a bit closer to the screen of his journal.]

May I ask who is pranking my older self? Because to burden him with such an interesting hair do is mischief of a very advanced kind. As the god of mischief I wish to bestow great compliments upon him on her.

Maybe even an award.

[ According to the list Panda provided he has to brighten Nojiko’s Christmas with an amazing gift, and since Loki really wants to give a ~~trolling~~ good present to a maiden who seems to have purple hair he will filters this message so that she cannot catch on to this, yet, he will not mention her name either, after all, no one should be trusted with such information. ]

What does one give to a maiden with an interesting hair color? Something matching with her hair color? A brush to comb that hair? Or a ribbon?

Or maybe something so she can indulge herself into the act of shopping and try on different outfits? After all, that is what most maidens are very, very fond of.

Ikki, I have chosen a date of birth. I think the fifteenth of January will be fitting. Please announce it, I require cake and presents.

Your life will end when you run out of chakra...but usually one will lose consciousness well before that happens. There are a few forbidden techniques that can do amazing things at the cost of one's life.

[She pauses at the elemental discussion.]

Each element has its strengths and weaknesses...the important thing is how well it's used, though. Getting hit head-on with one will hurt no matter what the element.

[Bending? Oh, that's right. Airbending is what Aang does.]

...close, but I wouldn't call myself a bender.

So it is one's life force? I was right. So in a sense it is performing magic at the cost of one's life force.

[A smug little grin appears before Loki nods at the second statement. Sounds logic.]

What are you then?

More or less, but the life force can be recovered with rest and food - just like when one expends effort running or fighting and recovers.

[How long it took depended on how much chakra was depleted.]

I am a ninja.

That is an interesting matter, Konan.

A ninja? You do not really look like a ninja either.

[Did that other guy told him about some weapons earlier. What were they again...?]

Do you carry shuriken with you?

Edited 2012-12-29 15:40 (UTC)

[That makes her smile a little.]

Part of being a ninja is not obviously looking like one.

[With a quick wave of her hand, several sheets of paper form into shuriken.]

I make my own shuriken.

Oh, you are a casual ninja? One that is able to blend in with large crowds by looking so average that even average people do not notice how average you look.

[Loki shakes his head.]

But those are paper ones. Even though I do know of paper cuts I hardly believe that those can bring harm to someone.

[It's an assumption a lot of people mistakenly make that works in her favour.]

I can use my chakra to make them as durable and sharp as steel. I've cut through steel with them before, in fact.

Prove it, dear maiden.

You will have to meet me in the Battle Dome for that, Loki.

[She's not going to throw those around just anywhere, after all.]

But I feel particulary slothful today. Why don't you slice a sandwich with your paper shuriken weapon, Konan?

I would definitely be convinced, you see?

[He nods to emphasize that.]

[Konan looks mildly amused.]

Unfortunately, I'm not that determined to convince anyone of what I can do. Either you believe me, or you do not.

Have a bit of faith in yourself. Please demonstrate.

[He presses his nose against the screen, smiling broadly.]

I beg of you, you see?

[Konan smiles back.]

Overcome your slothfulness and meet me at the Battle Dome, then.

[Loki raises his eyebrows.]

I hope it is a good demonstration.

It will be one of my training sequences. I recommend staying near me during the simulation.

[And that's about the most she'll say on a public network as far as her fighting ability.]

You wish me to come over right away?

Come whenever you would like. I can program a training sequence while I wait.

[It's a test, of sorts. Anything she programs for herself alone will be more dangerous than what she programs with Loki in there with her. She wants to see if he'll realize that and hurry, and also how interested he really is in observing her ability with paper.]

[Loki contemplates that for a moment and nods.]

Alas, I do have to run some errands first before I am able to accept your offer. We meet at the Battle Arena in an hour, yes?

I will see you in an hour, yes.

[She does have to wonder if he'll show up earlier or not. Either way, she'll have a paper butterfly watching out from the ceiling by the entrance of the Battle Dome.]

Aye!

[Loki closes his journal and goes on his errands first. Food for Thori, some snacks, warm socks, the usual items. After that he heads for the battle dome.

He smiles slightly when he notices the butterfly watching out as he enters.]

I have arrived! Now let us commence in great battles and such.

[She's mildly surprised that he didn't try to show up earlier, but one part of her is relieved as well. Her earlier training sequence was challenging enough that it would have made protecting young Loki difficult. The one she's programmed this time is more an exercise than a test of her limits.]

Have you had combat training?

[Loki approaches her casually and smiles broadly at her question.]

Absolutely not.

Asgard has plenty strong warriors who specialize in combat

Alas, I am not one of them.

[Konan nods and mentally notes that she'll have to be watchful over him, then.]

In that case, stay close.

[She has a few papers fluttering around her, looking quite harmless. When the attacks begin, that quickly changes. The papers do indeed become shuriken, and they slice through the simulation's attackers' weapons.]

[Loki does as he is told and stays very close to her, watching her proving him wrong. These kind of techniques are completely new for him, after all, he comes from Asgard. Asgard values the sword and bravery and courage. Things he kind of...wasn't too great at.]

You enhance this paper with your chakra, yes. It is called 'chakra', right?

Correct.

[A paper shuriken slices through another enemy's weapon as if it's butter.]

There are simpler techniques, but enhancing and controlling paper with my chakra is my specialty.
