The Story: Quick Back Story:
Loki grew up relatively wealthy, unaware he was actually adopted. His parents kept it covered in order to allow him to inherit the family name and everything that came with it as they couldn't produce an heir of their own. He totally has an older sister named Thora somewhere out there. When he shows up to class, his grades are stellar, however he has a tendency to skip out when he gets bored, yet passes every exam with perfect marks. The boy is bright, but lacking dedication, finding far more interest in causing trouble, living up to his name. He takes a strong interest in science and mythology, those being the few courses he actually doesn't skip.

His outgoing nature and overall innocent act may fool the teachers and those naive enough to buy into it, but those that know him better are well aware of his trickster nature. He takes to other intellectuals and mischief makers quickly.

Option A:
When Loki cut class, he usually had a reason. Whether his reason was something anyone else would agree with was yet another matter, but he wasn't asking their approval. His pranks were more or less harmless in most cases, but he could be pushed into something slightly more devious when given proper motive. Find him either in transit between classes or on his way out with no intention of participating today...

Option B:
Their class just couldn't decide and he could really care less. The Rest Area was to be their thing, so why not live up to its name? He was certainly going to rest in the area. Well, in the general vicinity of the area while keeping an eye out for anything or anyone interesting to watch. He could be crafty, but right now, he didn't mind if he was caught or seen. He was bored, plain and simple. When the green eyed teen was bored, nothing was safe.

Option C:
[Free For All! Find him wherever the heck you want!]

Option C- Someone needs to convince Billy to get his fortune read or Loki enables stalking

[actualwizard]

"This is the worst idea, I'm not going in there." Billy crossed his arms and gave Loki a glare. He was not going to let his friend talk him into doing something stupid....again. He didn't need to go get his fortune told by Teddy, really he didn't. Shared smiles as they passed in the hall was all the interaction Billy needed...really.

How about both? 8D

[mischiefandlies]

Loki just smirked and slipped an arm around Billy's shoulders, guiding him down the hall. Their destination? The Fortune Telling booths, though he wasn't going to let on that that's where they were going. Even if it should be obvious.

"It's the best idea, and you are going there, because you want to. He's hot. He's interested. What more could you ask for?" Well, he had better be interested. Loki would make sure of that, because it was so obvious that Billy was head over heels for the jock. Loki could be a little shit, but Billy was one of his few good friends and despite being a target of the trickster's pranks on a daily basis, he actually liked Billy. He wanted him to be happy (while simultaneously being slightly miserable with each of Loki's pranks). Think of it as a way to make up for his constant teasing.

Both is good

[actualwizard]

"He's interested? How do you know he's interested?" Billy asked skeptically. He wouldn't put it passed Loki to convince him Teddy liked him only for it to turn out Teddy already had a boyfriend or something like that.

Wonderful!

[mischiefandlies]

Loki sighed and rolled his eyes dramatically. "Because you're interesting. That's how I know he's interested. How could he not be?" Seriously, Billy. Stop making him say nice and honest things. He doesn't like that. He felt like some higher power would strike him down for telling the truth.

"Smile, ask him for your fortune or something incredibly cheesy like that, bat your eyelashes, and romance him." While Loki would be the type to pull such a stunt on anyone else, he actually had no intention of jeopardising his friendship with Billy of all people.

Re: Wonderful!

[actualwizard]

'Bat my eyelashes?" Billy laughed, "he'll think I have a twitch if I do something ridiculous like that. I'm supposed to charm him not convince him I need mental help."

Billy paused and then smirked. "Wait a minute, did you just compliment me? Voluntarily?" He made to turn around and head back towards their classroom. "I think I need to go mark this day down on my calendar."

B!

[dyskinesia]

Bruce looks like the very definition of Not Looking for Trouble, but his life doesn't always happen to agree with him. The main problem this time is he doesn't even look around as he makes his way down the hallway, his steps slow as he's reading a book at the same time, and he has his phones in his ears, so he doesn't hear much of what's happening around him either.

He doesn't see what room he's walking past, or even who is inside, lounging across some chairs, and so has no reason to pick up his pace and disappear down the flights of stairs before Loki spots him. Not that he minds him terribly, he's bright and they sometimes have the most challenging conversations - Bruce can appreciate that. It's just that when Loki's bored, he can be a lot more chaotic, and much less easy to keep up with.

[mischiefandlies]

Needless to say, when Loki spotted Bruce casually strolling past the door, he kicked his legs off the chair they'd been propped against and fluidly rolls to his feet with the momentum. He slips out the door and into Banner's path with that telltale grin set in place. He makes a motion with both hands mirroring eachother, pinching beside his ears and pulling outward to indicate the other should take out his headphones.

The countless number of things he could have done while Bruce had been deaf to the world around him had been far too easy, so he passed them up. Instead, he had another little idea...

[dyskinesia]

His eyes are on the book, but the movement right in front of him is enough for him to snap his head up, stopping abruptly just a couple of feet away from Loki. Even if it's far from the most explosive approaches from him, it still catches Bruce by surprise and leaves him feeling on edge.

But he does what he's asked anyway, and closing the book, he takes off his earphones one by one, nodding once at him. "... hi."

[mischiefandlies]

"Mm'hm. Hi." Loki looked so unimpressed. But then, he just smiled. "So, what project did your class get again?" He actually did enjoy Bruce's company on most days. Intellectually, the man was enough to keep Loki on the rails, and every few had that kind of intelligence that he'd seen. He could probably think of two others that he'd encountered, but Bruce was the only one with a personality that didn't tend to piss him off.

"Besides, don't you think it's a little dangerous to be walking around with two of your five senses obscured? I could have easily just saved your life. That would leave you indebted to me, wouldn't it?" Loki was obviously not in one of his intellectually curious moods today. He was in one of those far less redeeming ones.

A

[hulk_ling]

Teddy walked through the halls on an errand for one of the teachers when he spots Loki. He doesn't know the older student very well but he recognizes him as being in Billy's class and a friend of Billy's. He guesses that Loki is supposed to be in class and as he walks near him, he begins to wonder if Loki might know where Billy will be during the school festival. Maybe he could convince him to bring Billy by. It could be fun.

"Hey," he says, calling out to Loki. He's not sure if the older student will turn around so he doesn't say anything else until he's sure he has Loki's attention.

[mischiefandlies]

He certainly was supposed to be in class, but that has never stopped him before. However, the voice calling out did give him pause. The halls were pretty empty by now, so it was pretty obvious to whom the voice was speaking. He stopped and turned on his heel, looking the blonde up and down for a moment. He recognised him about as faintly as he had recognised Loki.

This was that younger kid that Billy had the hots for, wasn't it? He could see why. Loki gave a bit of a wave, indicating that he had, in fact, heard the blonde and that he has his attention. "Loki." He supplies his name in favour of being just referred to as 'hey'.

[hulk_ling]

"Yes, Loki," Teddy said, jogging a bit to catch up to where Loki was walking. He felt a little bit foolish addressing an older student so casually but he didn't worry about it too much. He was too preoccupied thinking about Billy than to worry about disrespect.

"You're friends with Billy, aren't you? You're in the class that is running the Rest Area during the festival."

And it's only then that his manners catch up with him and he gives a little bow. "Sorry, senpai, I'm Teddy. Teddy Altman. I should have introduced myself first."

[mischiefandlies]

"That would be me." His usual smirk returns to his features as he watches Teddy catch up with him and drill him for info of sorts. He honestly wasn't concerned with the lack of respect. It wasn't as if Loki showed any to most others. But he was impressed that Teddy already knew so much about Billy. Obviously, his dark haired friend needed to step up his game and do a bit more stalking of Teddy.

"I don't know if the task is actually worthy of being called 'running' the Rest Area, but yes." He tried not to look too knowingly at the blonde. "I'm not worried about formalities, Altman." He waves off Teddy's concerns with a flourish of one hand. "Your class got the fortune telling gig, right?"

[imperfect_science]

Carlos has a very good and valid reason to be outside the classroom just now- he has a slip and everything to prove it! The chemistry lab needed a box of equipment that had somehow ended up in the drama room for a modern-day retelling of Macbeth, and… yeah, someone had to go fetch it. He's hoping he won't get in trouble for the overabundance of glitter stuck to everything.

... Anyway, Carlos is diligently on his way back to chemistry when he spots a figure that looks like it is on its way out of the building. In the middle of the day. Unaccompanied. Which is surely a mistake, right?

“E-excuse me! You can’t leave without a pass!”

[mischiefandlies]

Certainly that hesitant voice wasn't talking to him, right? Loki stopped, turned on his heel, and faced the younger student from down the hall. He smiled brightly and closed the distance between them so neither had to raise their voices to be heard. He was ever so pleasant as he stopped a few feet from the lowerclassmen.

"Right! Silly me! What was I thinking? But, you see, my homework is sitting on my desk in my dorm. After going through all this trouble, I would hate to fail now. A bright, young student like you can understand, can't you? I'll be quick. No one will even notice my absence."

The truth was a tricky thing. There wasn't a single lie in the mix, but the picture painted by his words in the assumed context was a falsehood. His homework is sitting on his dorm desk but it hasn't been touched. He would hate to fail in his plans after going through all the trouble of sneaking out. He will be quick and no one will notice his absence, but that didn't mean he would return.

[imperfect_science]

Carlos does his best not to shrink back as the older, more confident young man strides up to him. A part of him is seriously regretting saying anything at all now. He doesn’t recognize Loki, but he knows his type. Because every good scientist should be adept at categorizing.

Personable, talkative, smooth- this guy is probably popular, used to getting his way. And if he doesn’t, he’s the kind to retaliate. Or have his buff and brawny friends retaliate. Carlos looks Loki over warily from behind a set of glasses that have already been repaired with tape in a couple of places because of the sorts of ‘friends’ he’s sure Loki keeps in tow.

But there’s a reason he has that much tape. He squares his shoulders, and his voice might only shake a little when he responds. “I don’t think you mean that.” This younger version of Carlos is more easily intimidated than his adult counterpart, but he’s just as sharp. “You don’t care about failing. You just want to sneak out. You…” He has to stop and swallow, his mouth gone dry. “Y-you should go back to class.”

[mischiefandlies]

Oh, the poor dear. He seems to think his authoritative tone has any bearing on Loki whatsoever. The green eyed trickster just smiled unwaveringly back as Carlos called his bluff and issued more demands. Well, really, it was more like an attempt at a forceful suggestion.

"Oh, but I do. You see, I meant every word. But words can have so many different meanings, especially when their context is so vague. Just as colours can trick the eye depending on their neighbouring colours. A light grey tile can appear darker than it seems when surrounded by dark tiles as opposed to lighter tiles. The colour hasn't changed, but our mind thinks it has."

Loki took yet another step closer. In reality, he wouldn't hurt Carlos, but he was giving off all the signs of a bully. In that situation, with the other so easily intimidated, it was the same as the colours and his words. In this context, he would appear to be the type to put yet another crack in those glasses. But he wouldn't. He was just having a bit of fun.

"What I should or shouldn't do is really none of your concern. But given the state of your glasses, I'd be willing to bet you don't learn to keep your nose out of other peoples' business."

And just as quickly as the intimidation had appeared, it vanished. He rocked back on his heels and the smile returned with a less sinister gleam. "Go back to class before you run into someone with a hotter temper than mine." In other words, 'I don't hit you; you stop barking orders. Truce?'

option a and IT'S WORTH IT

[digophelia]

By the time Alice is done with one remotely interesting class, art, she's on her way to be the strange recluse that she is. There is a perfect spot for this, however, her favorite corner of the study hall that's usually left mostly unoccupied, aside from the stragglers like herself. She's kept a pretty good distance from most of her classmates.

She hasn't uttered a word, not once today, and remains the creepy, quiet girl as others refer her to. As soon as she gets to her favorite spot, Alice seems to flinch, stopping in her tracks.

"Oh, for goodness sakes, this is too much!" Heaving a great sigh, Alice works her way around the corner to see where to begin to dismantle it. Really, a part of her could admire this on a better day.

PFH! OMG!

[mischiefandlies]

There was no telling how long Loki had been standing behind her as she tried to figure out just how to take the entire Nick Cage Shrine apart. There was a certain elegance to this whole thing and he rather appreciated the shots of her seemingly 'worshipping' the shrine with the camera in his phone. After another moment, he stepped into view, grinning and slipped the mobile back into his pocket.

"Looks like someone has a little crush. Or an obsession."

it's better in RL, trust me. also http://www.boredpanda.com/pranks-april-fools-day/

[digophelia]

As quick as she is to temper sometimes and can be completely violatile, not at the moment. After a while, she'll admire the handy work. Right now, not so much. On the other hand, Alice glances at it.

And back to him.

"Yes," She says flatly squeezing underneath the table to see if there's a better way to start. Alice. She replies dryly, "Really, I don't see it, Loki, I would have pegged you fancying someone without such a high hairline."

That link was brilliant!

[mischiefandlies]

Loki's grin didn't fall, in fact, it probably grew. He then knitted his brows, pursing his lips just a bit in a soft 'ooh' sound as she quipped right back at him. He was endlessly amused by her.

"Clever girl. I knew there was a reason I tend to enjoy your presence." He chuckled and leaned right up against the nearest surface able to support his weight, crossing his arms as he watched her. "If you want help, you need only ask, you know." He brought a hand up, examining his painted black nails, as if inspecting the manicure, because he had all the time in the world. "Or, you could just continue crawling around on the ground, hoping to get lucky. It's entirely up to you, Miss Liddell."

A!

[skjalf]

Leave it to her lab partner to be the biggest slacker ever. Elizabeth didn't know whether she was amused or annoyed by it, because she certainly did appreciate the humour provided by his pranks. Just as usual, when the bell rang, she found him right where she figured she would: not in a class room.

Her mouth twitched up into a small, tolerant smirk, caught between amusement and exasperation.

"Before you ask: no, I didn't copy my notes for you." That was that, and she wasn't going to linger on the fact. Instead, she tilted her head, peering at him with a hint of mischief sparking in her gaze.

"All right, I give. What are you up to?" It better have been worth missing that lecture! The idea of charging him for notes was swiftly becoming an alluring proposition.

[mischiefandlies]

He could read her tone with ease, because despite the tolerant smirk, he knew he tended to irritate her with his inability to show up. Loki couldn't blame her one bit, but he still wasn't sure why she bothered to try. He wasn't sure why anyone bothered to try when it came to him. He just smiled when she denied copying her notes for him and turned to face her.

The trickster didn't answer, but he did take note of the sudden mischievous hint that overtook her features after a moment. That only drew his smile wider and he raised his shoulders in a non-committal shrug.

"What's the answer worth to you?" He asked deviously, looking expectantly at her. Because Elizabeth should already know the answer to that. He'll tell her what she wants to know if she offers up a copy of her notes. He isn't even out of school yet, and he was already a well-practised businessman.

[skjalf]

"We'll see." Little did he know that today was a lab session and not a lecture. Elizabeth was trying to pull one over on him, and she was actually a bit proud about it.

A little smirk curved her mouth upward, and she crossed her arms over her chest. She had stopped being annoyed with his habit of skipping ages back, mainly because it was exhausting. And now she was curious as to what it was exactly that be bothered showing up for at all to begin with.

He was still in the building, after all and not elsewhere goofing off. There had to be a reason, and she wanted to know what it was.

"How good is it?"

[mischiefandlies]

Loki just smirked, throwing her a glance that just screamed mischief. He really was a prankster through and through, but he preferred to overcomplicate things as a show of his wits over the rush of getting caught. He didn't mind being caught, because often it just gave him an audience. So long as he wasn't caught by the victim. Those instances were rare, but when they did happen, he usually played it off well.

"Oh, you're no fun sometimes, Liz!" He laughed, spinning to face her fully with a wide grin. "Second year's linguistics teacher--can't think of her name right now--is planning a pop quiz. I managed to... procure the quizzes last night and rewrote the test. The students'll get a kick. The teacher... not so much." He flashed a copy of the new test at her, printed off to the exact style of the original. The only difference is the questions. "I just finished replacing the teacher's copies in her desk with mine. Hey, I was even kind enough to include an answer key for her."

"Oh, and I replaced the face of her clock. But that's just for my own personal amusement."
