[ out in the Unseelie courtyard, surrounded by inky black thorn bushes (how appropriate,) Loki sits on the ground, rustling through the plants as delicately as possible. he seems amused enough, a small bundle of the plants already gathered in a cloth in his lap. ]

Atropa belladonna. Once known to be an effective anesthetic and even as a beauty aid, but now more commonly used as a deadly poison, able to render even the most mighty of warriors powerless. A useless, hallucinating, drooling pile on the ground.

Oft considered one of the primary tools of the witch. [ he laughs a little to himself. ] How fitting.



Tell me about yourselves, my new friends. Your worlds, your myths, your folklore. Your legends and your mysteries. I will share my own, in return.

Where I come from, there are nine known, documented realms. Nine worlds. The realms of the gods, the giants, the dying, and the dead among them. I have seen most all of them myself, and I must say, they hardly compare to the remarkable land I find myself in now. Very quaint.

I am sure there are others among you who agree, no? I can't be the only one who feels so very at home here.

Comments

[hexuality]

Then there are the ones who can actually do it.

[liugan]

It's hardly as much fun when you know all the secrets to it, isn't it?

[hexuality]

I wouldn't say I know all the secrets, I just know what goes on back home. Mostly.

[liugan]

Of course. Different tactics from one universe to the next. Some use broomsticks, some have their own wings. Some hurl a hammer into the air.

[hexuality]

A hammer.

[liugan]

You would believe it if you saw it.

[hexuality]

I'm sure I would. So much about magic falls under the whole "seeing is believing" thing. But even then, you can't always. It's tricky like that.

[liugan]

One always does tend to look for the wires and mirrors, I suppose.

[hexuality]

What, is that what you use?

[liugan]

Figure of speech.

[hexuality]

Right. Because you said you come from a place like this one.

[liugan]

Similarly enough, yes. Magic is not so unfamiliar, but there are far more tricks up my sleeves than the simple sleight of hand variety.

[hexuality]

Mine as well. [ Well, she's got... a wand up her sleeve. ] Does everyone know about magic, where you come from?

[liugan]

It's not uncommon, but few wield it as I can.

[hexuality]

How do you do it, then? Spells?

[liugan]

Spells, incantations, enchantments, totems, gems. There are countless ways.

[hexuality]

So you're a wizard.

[liugan]

In a manner of speaking.
