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.

[Between the hail, and the other noises that came with a busy school and students, it wasn't so bad. The dull thudding noise however, was too rhythmic to be hail... Which meant Loki headed to a window first to see if he could determine what was going on. Most likely some sport, probably.]

[Essentially this is what he would see.

There towering over the masses was a gigantic walking stick that wasn't doing the best at blending into it's surroundings. There weren't exactly any 100 ft trees in the area for it to shimmy up so it was now leaning against the castle. In fact one of it's dome shaped eyes was remarkably close to the window Loki decided to peer out.

A bubble of laughter came from the direction of the bug's back, and there lounging lazily on the creature was a girl with fox ears, and a tail enjoying all the silly reactions of her classmates.]

[Well that's something you don't see every day. Loki blinked, and turned to follow the laughter. Interesting...this, was someone he wanted to meet. If only to compliment them on their amusing disruption.

Gauging the distance from the window, to the bug's arms or neck, and how feasible jumping might be. Hmmm---not if the bug decided to move.]

EXCUSE ME!

[Called out to the girl lounging on the back of the carapace.]

CAN YOU ASK YOUR FRIEND TO HOLD STILL FOR A MOMENT?

[That was something Marisol was counting on as the influx of new and returning students flooded in to the space. The first time her familiar had grown to this height, it had caught her offguard and embarrassed her, this time she was totally in on the joke.

Her ears flicked briefly as she thought she picked up on a voice that was higher up than it should be. Sitting upright, she looked to the building and didn't immediately see him. The second call did the trick. She was dubious of his motivations, but sure. Let's see what he wanted.]

Jenghis, you heard him. One more coming aboard.

[The obedient creature minded. After she tested the angle, Marisol stood up and cupped her hands around her mouth]

I TOLD HIM, YOU'RE ALL SET!

[Perfect. Loki climbed into the window, balancing carefully. He was not a typical Asgardian warrior, who tried to power through things with muscle often. He was a trickster, which often required being nimble and clever.

Coiled and crouched in the window, one hand against the sill, Loki narrowed his eyes. Then jumped--launching himself out the window in an calculated arc. Not aiming for too high, but just enough to carry him further and to land against the creature's neck.

Landing carefully, moving it into a roll as his hands went out to both grip and balance him. Before he half climbed and half slid down the creature to come and sit by the other. On the giant bug's carapace.]

Thank you.
