02. [Video/Action/anything goes really]

[Loki appears in front of the screen while tapping his chin. He is thinking. After all, he has so much exciting things to announce.]

Direst news, fellow Asgardians and similar individuals! After this great feast of spring, flowers and similar jubilant subjects we must have reduced the amount of areas infected with the grey malady to a minimum, yes? After all, it is as Other Loki tells us, a healthy amount of joy can cure this!

Second of all, I have made an assessment of the refreshments during the feasts. I could not have done this without the kind maiden who told me about a Kinko's. Alas, there is no Kinko's here, please do pay attention to the screen now.

[Loki disappears for a moment and returns with two large pieces of paper. First he holds this one up for at least five minutes because he wants to makes ure you have seen it.]

Besides the poor quality of the pastries with meat I also have a small point of critique...

[Loki holds up a second sign for a obnoxiously long time.]

To conclude this very important message I would like to ask my fellow housemates a small favor. I seem to be in need of an occupation to acquire currency. I am sure some of you can help a fellow Loki out, right? Right!

"Other" Loki? How many are there? I'm guessing you're not meaning our housemates when you say that.

Three. Me, other Loki and other Loki's brother who is not named Loki. There used to be a fourth Loki but he seems to have receded from view.

As far as I know my housemates are not named Loki.

Four of them before, huh... No, I was sorted into the 'Loki' house as well, and I don't think that's my name.

Perhaps even five. Or six. But the information I do have at this point limits the amount of Loki's to four. Actually three.

And no, you do not look like a Loki.

What do Loki's look like, then?

That is an interesting question. What do Loki's look like? Depends on how the other Loki's look like, you see?

For instance, I have dark hair and green eyes, I am quite dashing. But perhaps the other Loki has been less fortunate when it comes to his appearance.

I am quite charmed by the green-ness of your hair.

I'm quite charmed by you, mister Loki. Now I know what I should look out for when spotting a real Loki.

I am quite charmed by the way you are quite charmed by me.

Aye, I think charming is the key word when it comes to encountering a Loki. Unless you encounter a Loki who is less charming.

That is a whole different 'can of worms', you see?

I see! So Lokis are either charming or not, huh?

I think that is the gist, yes!

[Loki grins broadly.]

And, fair maiden, now we have established that my name is, indeed, Loki, do you have a name as well?

I can't say that I'm even related to a Loki, but from what I hear, I might not mind being one.

But for now, my name is Shion.

Being Loki is similar to a making a fantastic journey beyond comprehension.

[Being Loki is also being despised, mistrusted combined with an interesting amount of assassination attempts, but well, Loki would be the last one to talk about such miserable facts.]

Shion. I am not sure if it beats the name Loki but it is a fascinating name indeed.

Exciting! [ She laughs. ] Shion's an okay name, though it's written in characters that mean dangerous things.

[Loki cocks his head to the side. A ]

Written in dangerous characters? Your name consists out of symbols?

That's how Japanese works. Some languages have letters, but mine has characters.

I see. The Japanese language is one of symbols. I have heard of this, but never really witnessed such a thing.

How would my name look in characters of the Japanese language?

One second.

[ she looks down for a moment, then holds up a piece of paper with ロキ written on it. she taps the characters with her index finger and smiles. ]

Like this!

[Loki looks at the paper.]

How are these characters dangerous? Do they hold another meaning as well?

Yours don't, since your name wasn't written to have a meaning in Japanese. Mine was — it shares the same characters as the ones that mean 'death' — the 'shi', and 'temple'.

A dead temple? But your name is Shion, right?

So Shi means dead and Ion means temple. Am I correct? Shion of the Dead Temple?

Too bad there's no Kinko's, but this seems like an agreeable substitute.

[ A small laugh. ] Did I not introduce myself? How shameful. My name is Rose.

Perhaps we should start a Kinko's for all our cloning and copying business and charge others for making copies.

We shall call it 'Kinko's for all your cloning needs' and if we would make these promotional moving pictures to promote our copying business I suggest you should wear swimgear that accentuate your feminine curves and the like. I will be wearing a suit and do a lot of talking. ...Yes?

My name is Loki. Loki Laufeyson of the House of Odin. But Loki will do fine.

We should! I'm sure there's the capability for it hidden somewhere in some combination of arcane magics. It's a simple matter of testing the idea until we reach a satisfying conclusion.

Let's leave out the swimsuit, but it sounds good otherwise.

Perhaps the rune magic. There has to be somekind of magic spell for the quick reproduction of items. Specifically paper.

[This idea excites him beyond excitement.]

Perhaps we can combine the spell with somekind of contraption. And we can charge currency for this.

[...wait...ah...]

You wish to appear in the nude?

That would be an excellent job. Maybe the library can help us.

[ 8| ] Let's stick with clothes for now. I'm sure we can find many more attractive ladies to pose for our ads.

The library is a good starting place, yes!

Loki is actually quite enthusiastic about this entire idea. His own shop! First steps into entrepreneurship.]

After that we need to acquire a location for our business as well. And yes, oodles of attractive maidens.

[A small pause...]

Rose, you are into this, yes?

After we decide our mystical processes, we'll have to look for something relatively small for the onset. We might also need to acquire some sort of licence to practice business in the town..but that shouldn't be hard to find.

[ Rose is also excited, though she's pretty good at restraining her excited faces. However, she provides a small glimpse of it with a smile. ]

I'm extremely into this. We'll be the best shop in Asgard.

[Loki claps his hands a couple of times in the most excited way.]

Aye! To both. First important thing is to devise spells to make the cloning happen since we probably will not be able to get access to Midgardian copying devices, yes?

[He grabs a small piece of paper and starts to scribble on it.]

Still, are these licences mandatory? Aren't licences only mandatory for driving Midgardian vehicles? This information is unbeknownst to me, Rose.

We will! I shall ask Equius of the Black and Blue if he is willing to do business with us. He is already most excited about the advertisements I am going to make for him.

By Odin's beard! I am most excited!

I knew it was only a matter of time before you took up begging.

A good day to you as well, Leah!

I think you confuse a request for help with begging. But since I am a most generous godling I will forgive you.

I was already looking into this before you even thought to complain about it.

[Meaning, she's been looking for a job, knowing he'd start whining about not having any money.}

You have found a job?

I unfortunately had to come to the conclusion that, since I had not received any orders to leave your side, I should continue to assist you. And that my life would be easier if I did, rather than subject myself to your whining.

You underestimate me in a most painful way, Leah. First of all, I do not whine. Second of all, the maiden Rose and I will start an Asgardian Kinko's, specialized in cloning texts on papers. Third of all, I never engage in the act of whining. Fourth of all, absolutely never.

You might stand a better chance of convincing someone if you don't do the thing you are lying about while lying about it.

What is "shaken milk" and why is it so important?

Do you accept a written answer?

Ah, I don't see why not?

What is Shaken Milk and Why is it So Important? A Written Essay by L. Laufeyson.

Shaken milk is an icy substance consisting out of milk they have shaken and fruit. One can say that it is a perfect balance between coolness, milky creaminess and the sweet tinge of fruit. It all comes together in a glass topped with whipped cream and a cherry. In some cases this cherry can also be a strawberry. It highly depends on where you get your shaken milk.

The main reason for its importance is that I am most fond of shaken milk. Therefore I deem it important, even though I definitely believe that it is important to the rest of the world as well. After all, try to imagine the establishment of 'world peace' through shaken milk!

Perhaps its importance also lies in the fact that it is available in a vast variety of flavors. From strawberry to blueberry, from banana to chocolate. I am still wondering if there would be bacon and ketchup shaken milk, if not, it must be the invention of a decade!

Did you know Midgard invented certain contraptions to produce shaken milk? Perhaps that is also one of those perfect exemplifications why shaken milk is so very important.

Well, it sounds quite... delicious. Enough to garnish world peace, even.

Of course it is delicious. If it would not have been utterly delicious world peace cannot be achieved.

Period.

And you're quite sure that they don't have your "shaken milk", as you say, here?

Oh they have. But it proves to be difficult to obtain without any currency. That is why I am in dire need of an occupation, a career, so to speak.

So I can purchase shaken milk, you see. Other Loki already is kind enough to give me a roof above my head.

[If not he kind of finds a way to obtain his favorite drink in a more...well, unfair manner.]

Impressive chicken scrawl handwriting.

I hear the bank will offer you a loan if you're interested in starting up your own little business. I wouldn't suggest getting into anything creative...

Impressive deduction. Consider me amazed.

A loan... That is quite a Midgardian thing to do. Borrow currency, buy an interesting variety of useless items from said currency and never pay it back, yes?

Why not? We're coloring the city and all that jazz. I think we're entitled to a little something something.

[ Damon here has yet to bother to look for a job. He's never had to work a day in his life since he turned vampire back in 1864. Why in the world would he start now?

.... Okay. There's the whole inability to compel people in order to get what he wants, but he'll just have to figure something out. Later. ]

A something something. I think you might have a point. I should get myself oodles of something somethings.

[He chuckles at the term 'coloring the city'. It is quite a cheesy concept but a good metaphor for ther task of countering the grey ailment that is going around this Other Asgard.]

As a reward for us bringing a multitude of colors... Has this paid off for you? After all, Other Loki has granted some of us the power to persuade others to give us something somethings, right? The magnificent art of manipulation.
