Open Post
Settling in. Open to All
Living Quarters--room 042. Loki was...less than pleased by the items he'd been given, or that he had only a single room. It was better than the dormitories though, and he had made do with far less before. Still, the house robes...Red and Black, while nice, were not his colors.
His mind was already turning with the beginnings of plans. First priority was to learn the magic of this world. Apparently it was more effective than his own, and that annoyed him greatly. So learn this world's magic, get the lay of the land so to speak. Learn more about the major powers. Survive.
Find him in the common hall of the living Quarters, the Library checking books, or checking out Makerion Keep--since he is "House Ka". Feel free to mistake him for a different house with his green, gold, and black outfit however.
Personal Business--closed to Roisin Murphy
While settling in, Loki had not forgotten he'd agreed to help someone here. Roisin had managed to find most of the loopholes, while bargaining with him, and he was pleased. It was always more fun to work with clever people. Besides which, he truly did want to help her for now. Learning more about her unwilling passenger was necessary for his own purposes. Could the demon be friend or foe? How much of a threat was he?
The first step to doing all of this, would be learning more about how the demon was bound. Which meant taking a look at her tattoos. Sketching them, analyzing the way the magic wove through them--he could tell the general pattern, but not the details of the weaving yet. If the spells were 'clothes' she wore, he could tell the clothing was meant to protect and contain, like a coat-keeping body heat in. But the 'how' it kept the body heat in was what he was missing.
So he'll be looking for Rosh, while also learning his way around the campus.

"It's jus' hard dealin' with this shit. I mean. I ain't tryin' tae belittle anythin' ye went through." She knew he'd been through Stuff, whether he wanted to talk about it or not. Rosh wouldn't assume, but...some of the signs were there. That was all.
"But ye probably know. It ain't you. It's me. An' I know that's cheap, but I really dunno how else ta put it." Not that she was going to try to get out of it. It wasn't just anyone who offered to try to help, after all.

Nor was he actively looking for any kind of relationship either, beyond what they had already. That of his helping her with her problem of Haage. He was teasing because it was fun, and she had left herself open to it.
no subject
No. No. Just no.
She grumbled a bit, but Rosh did seem mollified as Loki poked her shoulder. "I oughtta get used to bein' knocked down like a set o' pins if I set myself up fer it. Just ain't used to being teased." Father Ildie had always been a bit more gentle. But hey, maybe that was because of his age. She hadn't thought of that. Sure, Loki was centuries older, but that wasn't old for a god.
Right?

"Couldn't replicate the ink used, but I had 'em put holy water an' herbs an' some Easter palm ash in the newest ones. Figured I could use all the help I could get."
no subject
Another If.
"Think about it. I won't until I understand more about what's been done already. But I could." Loki was confident he could. "For now though, I plan to be the most diligent student. And find out how much this teacher tolerates questions." Mischief was back in blue-green eyes and that hint of smirk. "After classes, come to my room. It's less of a walk for you I think."
no subject
That was the hard part.
Still, there'd be a knock on his door a little while after classes were done for the day. And while Rosh looks a bit ill at ease, she's going to see all this through.
Though at least part of it will necessitate going to town and looking at apothecary shops. She can't guarantee anything that exists here will duplicate what she'd used in her tattoo ink, after all.

The bed was draped in soft golds and browns, but neatly made. It showed off the sheen of the wood nicely. Likewise, the desk and accompanying chair looked polished to a shine, with a sumptuous cushion in a flattering dark green. The 'lamp' had most definitely been 'magicked' differently. Now it was a golden pillar with an open bowl of flame flickering in it. The wardrobe was darker wood than the other furniture, but likewise glowed warmly. Books were already stacked in small piles, along with sheaves of paper and quills.
Last, on the bed itself was a 3' long dark green snake. Coiled as if in naptime, it raised its head and regarded the newcomer with dark eyes. Tongue flickering out twice to scent the air.
Likewise, Loki himself looked more casual. Gone was the lightly-armored leather overcoat, in favor of a greenish-black high-necked tunic and black trousers with his boots. "Take the chair for now."
no subject
"Gimme a mo', makin' the acquaintance of yer familiar. I left EnEx ta roam, 'e's probably happier doin' that. Even if I might have ta fish him from a canal before I get back tae my room."
Not that she hadn't taken in Loki's quarters with wide eyes. Fancy. It was super fancy, and she was now glad that she hadn't brought him down to her own rooms. Rosh wouldn't be much more than ashamed.
no subject
Einar slithered slightly closer, tongue flicking at the offered hand. Dark reptilian eyes looked to hold her gaze, before the snake drew back and up. But not in a striking motion. Instead Einar inclined his head lower, almost in imitation of a bow, as best he could.
"That's Einar. We are....getting used to one another." Loki informed, while Einar turned just enough, to flick his tongue out at the demigod.
no subject
Really, she figured EnEx would be less help than harm, here. Holy water or no. Likely she didn't need that type of help. Not yet.
"I suspect ye're gonna need less time tae get used to each other than I am gonna need tae get used ta that turtle," she admitted--half to the snake, half to Loki.
"So what kind o' questions d'ye need me tae answer, then?"

Though Father Ildie had held his own against Haagenti in the past. It'd definitely impressed Rosh, when he'd done so. The friar was rather unassuming, not much taller than she was and somewhat wizened, after all.
"Probably not very likely here, either. He doesnae seem too afraid of ye, yet, but that jus' makes me think he's ne'er had a run-in with one of yer ilk."
no subject
He had some ability himself to influence the mind, even without the chitauri-scepter and its mind-stone. Given the bargain he had with Rosh though, as he'd pointed out--she was somewhat under his protection too. And since it was also in his interest for Haage to not be let out, it might be worth teaching Rosh how to do certain things properly, when it came to mental manipulation. For her own good.
