[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.

Oh! That's a great day, Loki! Do you want to have a party?? I'm sure we could have one! I'll start planning for it even!

[Well Rei's been having an interesting discussion about this sort of thing with quite a few people lately. May as well bring one more into the fold.]

Magic comes in many forms. Some have a gift in their blood, others study hard, and others still channel it through artifacts, scrolls, or other such things.

I...myself perform magic in several different ways.

[Possessing an innate inclination for it helps, but talent is also a large factor in making the learning process simpler, he imagines, After all, while Dracula had a number of sorcerers in his army, only two among them had been capable of devil forging.]

'twould depend both on the magic and the sorcerer, my dear Loki. [He considers the filial spirits.]

[BIRTHDAY, EH. Billy catches this entry before the stuff with Ben goes down, so he's at least slightly chipper when he responds. Magic is always a good way to ping his interest.]

Usually a complimentary colour's the way to go with hair.

As for magic, I've tried spell books before, but they never got me anywhere. Too many weird ingredients and too much Latin.

Why the curiosity regarding magics, younger self? I don't think I've ever seen you use any. I thought you weren't interested.

Of course I want a giant feast. That is the sole purpose of a day of birth. To celebrate it and have a large pie.

Will the pie have the flavor of shaken milk?

That depends! Is the flavor of shaken milk like vanilla cake?? Also does this mean instead of cake you want pie?

[Loki does not recognize this female voice and he raises his eyebrows for a moment.]

You apply different methods? As in a combination of...lets say...artifacts and spellbooks?

[Loki is aware of that so that leaves him with one very important question...]

You are being most obvious right now. Is it possible you are Captain Obvious?

Her hair is purple, not many colors compliment such a tint.

I have used spell books before but they were mostly written in the Old Tongue. Not Latin. And for the ingredients, well...they are not that weird if you know where you can find him, you see?

The incantations can be rather powerful when used right.

There are so much things you do not know about me, older self. :-)

Thought about begging the native spirits for a bit of help?

It tastes like strawberries with milk. And most of the time there is a cherry on top.

Cake is pie. And if they are not I want a cake and a pie. Maybe a cake on top of a pie. It should be the pinnacle of fancy pastries.

Your words are full of poison today, older self.

Is it because of your hair? ~~Or more...'the hair that once was there'.~~

Or because I have praised such a mischievous prank?

The hair has proven to be quite popular with the fairer sex.

I find your choice of allies and the words you've spread quite curious, all told.

Then I have good news for you. Hair has the ability to grow back on one's head, I am very sure you will be able to woo the maidens within no-time!

I am quite aware of that.

I think I may keep it short, actually, since it has caused so much affection.

You are quite free with your words about me. Since we are so relaxed, perhaps I shall be with mine about you.

Change is good, I am glad you realize this as well, older self. :-))

... These ellipses express the mixture of wariness, distress and a very small bit of annoyance I am experiencing right now.

Have I said something that displeases you?

Edited (wehwuh) 2012-12-13 21:08 (UTC)

Such emotion to place in a few little dots.

There is no need for such concern if all your words have been gentle and circumspect, I should think.

My, so very ungrateful. My apologies for not having offered you the answer you desired.

Oh... Hey, other Loki! I already told you about bending. It's kinda like magic in some ways! Also, I think a really pretty ribbon sounds like a good gift choice.

More than that. I've...learned new forms of magic here. More than Filial magic, but spells from other people's worlds. And I was born with spiritual talents of my own.

So strawberry and vanilla cake with strawberry on top?

No, they're different things!!!

On the planet Melfes, the ability to use magic is an inborn trait. While the Ferines--the people of the water--have long been able to use magic, in recent times, the Orerines--the people of the land--have also started being able to do so as well.

[...Yes, Loki, it really is that incredibly dense maiden talking to you like this. She's recently had her memories returned to her, and, well, this is the result. Not only is her vocabulary different, but even her tone is different than usual. Have fun talking to her while she actually makes sense!]

...Uh. Pink, maybe? It's a classic match.

[Purple really is a tough one to compliment. And purple hair... that's unusual.]

Yeah, I know. I don't think they'd work with my magic, so more power to you if they'll work with yours.
