[Event:Open] Who are you to tell me how

[possiblymad]

Who: Loki and Mirror!Loki + Open
Where: Both Real and Mirror sides
When: Duration of the event
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Loki testing tears and Mirror!Loki on both sides of the glass.
The Story:
[Loki: Start of the Event]
Loki can be found experimenting with the cracks in Wonderland. Testing where they lead and if he could close them, however the latter was having no success. It wasn't that he really cared, it was more curiosity. And he really didn't want anything dreadful to crawl through one of them... It wasn't his problem, but he would inevitably have to fight and that would be a hassle, he was sure.

[M!Loki: Beginning to Mid Event]
Mirror Loki can be found monitoring the tears on the Mirror side to protect any Reals that accidentally or deliberately cross over. Honestly, children, stay on your side of the glass where it's safer...

Later, he will be forced over to the Real side by his Real, however he will know the reason for this and not fight it. Then he can be found anywhere on the Real side looking after the Reals that remain and trying to protect them from any violent Mirrors that have crossed.

[Thor]
Loki had been experimenting with the tears, curious more than anything. He found a few that dropped him right in the Mirror Realm. After backing back out, he found a message left in his room by his mirror. There were few here who still knew and wrote Asgardian. Twice as many if you counted the mirrors, however he had no reason to believe it wasn't his mirror. It took him some time to decide before he finally sent a message to Thor in the form of a projected illusion as always:

"Brother, some of these tears send others to the Mirror realm. My own Mirror left me a message upon my investigating the Mirror realm. Their queen has suggested items of sentimental value as tribute to the Core in order to repair the cracks. I... perhaps have something of value to contribute if you are willing to accompany me." Loki didn't have hardly any personal effects with him, but he did have an item acquired in Wonderland that had some meaning to him.

[Billy]
A certain mirror with aid of a locator spell was able to find a certain magic user. Though, oddly enough, it sent up three pings on his radar. That was... something he would have to ask about. He gave pause before approaching the boy testing the tears. His demeanour is regal, rigid, but calm. He didn't smile, but his expression was still soft somehow.

"Perhaps you should consider remaining on your side of the glass, young Kaplan. It is far safer there."

Comments

[skrullprince]

"Respect," he snorted. "I'm sure a dog thinks a kind master treats him with respect as well. Doesn't mean he's not still a dog."

Poking buttons was what he was good at. He was vain and selfish, but when he saw an opportunity to hurt someone he went for it. "The fact you believe that you have any control over Wonderland in the first place is amusing. Do you think your side can survive without us? Or that you could tear this place apart without my Queen's interference? Not only are you a dog, you're a stupid one at that."

[possiblymad]

Loki was a creature full of rage and usually it was well contained. Usually. The nonsense about the Queen didn't bother him. They were petty insults that went easily ignored, but talk of being controlled by someone, even if it was Billy, was something he hated.

"You are trying my patience, child." He snarled, carefully enunciating every word. It took every ounce of restraint he had not to reach for the daggers in his coat. They didn't need to fight. Not here and not now. But oh was he itching to. Funny how that worked. However, he did know he could probably get away with killing this Hulkling and suffer no consequence from Billy or the Avengers. It would be long overdue stress relief.

[skrullprince]

He couldn't help himself. He laughed in Lokis face, the illusion unable to hide the satisfied smirk. Underneath he had already shifted to his Skrull body, his skin an impenetrable armor. "Is your temper so thin you'd let a child rile you? Or is it that on some level you know that I'm right?"

He stepped closer to Loki, the smirk never wavering. "Your anger is misplaced, fellow prince. You should be lashing out at the ones who have enslaved you. But you've grown soft in your bondage. I pity you."

[possiblymad]

"No, I'm quite certain my anger is levelled on the proper target." He deliberately dispelled the illusion, because if he was to stab this nuisance, he wanted his aim to be true, but the sight of the armour gave him pause. He flipped the dagger he'd retrieved from his coat back and forth in his hand, easing up just a bit from his rage.

"But you are neither worth my rage nor my blade. Fellow prince, perhaps, but your race is inferior. There is a reason we of Asgard rule the nine realms. You are goading a fight out of me and I will not give you the pleasure." At least, he wouldn't attack first.

[skrullprince]

"Inferior race - those are dangerous words spoken to a Skrull," Dorrek said, but he didn't make a move. The daggers might be of little consequence but magic was a different story. From his time with his Billy he knew he had little defense against magical manipulation.

"Say what you will but the only reason you hold back has nothing to do with my being inferior. Isn't that your thing? Don't you subjugate all of those who should kneel before you? Why, then, do you continue to play the fool and let the so called heroes run wild?"

[possiblymad]

"And yet there you stand idly by as I speak them. You know your place, it would seem. He has trained you well." Funny that he should mention magic, because those daggers of his are capable of channelling it. He would do tell not to underestimate them.

"They are my brother's pets. We have come to an understanding, and as long as he sees fit to play with them, they will remain. They run no more wild than any other domesticated animal. If you have an issue with them, take it up with him."

[skrullprince]

"I have an issue with you," Dorrek retorted, rolling his eyes. "I should have known you would have an answer for everything, even if the lies are blatantly obvious."

He grinned suddenly, shrugging his shoulders in an almost friendly manner. "You can deny the truth all you want. It doesn't really matter to me. It's not as if I'm going to suddenly stop you. You cause problems and I like that. So, keep up the good work."

[possiblymad]

"But I am Loki, the Liar. If you were ill prepared to handle that truth, then you are the fool here, Skrull." Loki retorted with a shrug.

"I am a creature of chaos. Madness and lies are my weapons and whatever truth you seem to believe in has no hold over me for that very reason. Believe what you will, child. It matters not to me as you..." he grins wickedly. "are nothing. A reflection. A flawed copy. You are here because Wonderland wishes it to be so. Theodore Altman is the truth here despite his most annoying attributes."
