What have you done, Loki?

[What Loki wants, Loki gets. At midnight precisely, the world ripples and changes. In the mortal realms, Thor vanishes in the midst of whatever it was he was doing and finds himself in a cell in Asgard's prison. The guards taunt him mercilessly, their jeers cruel and wicked and painting him as a murderer of innocents. His hammer isn't with him, but no one seems to think he can wield it anyway. Reacquiring it wouldn't take much effort.

Loki has replaced his brother as king of Asgard, and the people adore him as they once adored Thor. He is resplendent and beloved - but also absent. While Thor finds himself in the dungeon, Loki finds himself trading places with his brother in a more physical sense. Loki will find himself, at midnight, in the Avenger's Tower.

Either the magic is imperfect, the wish-grantor untalented, or the hotel malicious. As the month progresses, the spell will fray around the edges, and those with the strongest minds will begin to question. Even so, the spell will remain in place until Loki chooses to revoke it, to whatever end.]

[The "mirror" appears in the rooms where Loki is staying, with no sign of how it came to be there. It can be removed from the wall, though doing so changes nothing and reveals nothing. There's a sense of power about it, though no sign of real, traceable magic or spells. The rectangular frame is wide all the way around, wider than the spread of a man's paired hands, and holds designs of intertwined runes that cannot be read. The center, instead of being polished to a reflective silver shine, is matte gold with only the hint of a figure within it. It hangs on a wall at eye-level, waiting.

On each side of the frame is the outline and indentation of a handprint, both large enough to belong to a man. Even so, they are different, the indentation on the left-hand side is long-fingered and narrow-palmed, while the one on the right is wider, thicker, more strength than grace. In the palm of each is a single rune, the same rune, a simple engraved "X" - gift.]

[Locked: Tony S]

Tony, hi, you might not know me. My name is Bobbi. I'm an Avenger, I lead the West Coast Avengers with Clint, codename Mockingbird. PhD in biology, all around nice lady.

Former SHIELD operative. Currently unemployed almost ready to start looking for a job. Almost.

I need a website, deep shadow conditions. Cupidclint.com any suggestions on where to get such a thing? And how to make it the best most heavily trafficked website ever?

[Steve R]

Steve, hi. I'm Bobbi Morse. Like I just said to Tony, because you might be together and then you'll know I'm copying and pasting things, which now I'm officially not. In any case. Hi. I'm Bobbi. I'm an Avenger. We're pals, we get along. If you do know me, then you also know that I know about the fifty bucks I owe you. Noted. But no one, and I mean NO ONE NOT ONE PERSON ALIVE could have seen that one coming. Okay? Okay. You are just....I don't know. Psychic.

If you don't know what I'm talking about. It's to do with Beyonce. Somehow. I don't know HOW. You woke up one day and called me up and said "Bobbi, I think Bey is up to something." I told you you were nuts and, then I called Carol who called Sharon and we all said you were nuts, and you bet us all fifty bucks. And then Beyonce just went ahead and dropped an album out of nowhere. That day. What even, Steve? What. Even. Three blondes almost killed you that day. None of us have paid you.

[Thor]

Where's my favorite God of Thunder at? Did you know there's going to be a Magic Mike 2? Are you in it?

[Clint B]

You are so going to kill me.

PS. We have no Kate. The hell am I supposed to without a mini-Hawkeye? Can we put her outfit on Lola? See what happens?

[Natasha R]

Did you make a wish?

[And then Public as anything - from Bobbi M - because she doesn't know who else is here]

So are we enjoying being the wish granTORS or the granTEES the most?

Do I get to take off the mask when this is all over because I am telling you what little new wish friend, I wanna see. Big time. I wanna see.

Also there is nothing on TV right now. What's in your netflix queues I need to check out?

OI! LITTLE CUPID! OLLY OLLY OXEN FREE! I'm ready.

I am curious how so many cultures managed to decide the proper way to venerate a martyred religious figure was with chocolate and lingerie. Is this common?

Does this hotel press its will upon us often? It is most [...] disagreeable.

[Public]

What the fuc hell? I get that I'm from warmer places and this is my first winter with snow, but this can't be fucking [That one slips out.] normal, right?


[Thor]

[Locked to him, but she forgets to keep it anon. Thank you, pregnancy brain.]

Not even the blanket is enough to deal with all this snow.


[Seven]

Devi and Bean and I have decided that snow is fucking stupid.


[Liam]

[Okay, maybe this one is a bad idea, but...]

How're you holding up with the snow?

[Thor]

So. Have you been around long enough to know what Valentine's Day is?

WHO: Jane and Thor
WHAT: Reconnecting
WHERE: Stark Tower
WHEN: Way, way, back. Shhh.
WARNINGS: None!

( Often he’d been called a fool, but he would have truly been one if he had missed the tension that had seemed to plague their conversations as of late. )

Who: Loki and Thor
What: Off to see the wizard! Loki takes Thor on a mystery journey to his Christmas present.
Where: Asgard (Marvel)
When: Today
Warnings/Rating: None.

( There would be no time for genial rides in the woods soon, if all went according to plan.  )

Wait. Hold on.

Should I be more worried that I woke up back in Gotham, or more worried that I have an earring I didn't have yesterday?

Oh my God is it the gay ear? Which one is the gay ear? Quick. Someone. Gay ear. Go.

Neil? Louis? Thor? SAMMY?

[Locked to Avengers + (separately to) Jane]

Loki wishes for me to meet with him. I am going, though I suspect that Loki means to trap me.

[Locked to "Fierce and Fret"]

Mjolnir, the Bifrost, and the Nine Realms are correct.

[mcuAvengers - Tony, Steve, Natasha, Thor, Clint (because he thinks they're all there)]
[After Tony's transportation returns him to New York. Somewhat pleased to find his Tower section is mostly the same.]

Hello.


[Jason Todd]

I'm still not entirely sure how this is supposed to work. But I was told to reach out to you and I'm attempting to go with the flow. [...] Hi.

[thor]

Your present wouldn't fit in a stocking, I'm afraid.

[public]

Three hundred and sixty five days. Do you celebrate because you know there are so few years left in short lives? Or to mourn what's gone? Happy holidays.

[Seven M]
[Pointing him toward Liam's comments.]

???


[Thor]
[Posted as "fierce and fret" anon from the Halloween Party.]

Hey. It's Marta the girl from Halloween. Am I allowed to check in on you?


[Ella D]
[After a little hesitation.]

Hey, Ella.

[Public as Steve R; beneath this sketch.]

Is it 2014? No ice this time around. That's someth

[Filtered to Thor, Tony S, Bruce B, Steve R]

I've made a decision. I'm going to continue to be an Avenger, and I intend on getting to know the Avengers from the other dimension better so that I can work with them as a team.

I'd like to know which of you also intend to continue to be a part of the team. I think the time has come where it needs to be stated - and acted upon. Because if anything, the last year has proved that as a group we only appear to be able to act as a team when emergencies arise, but other than that? We're not a team. We're not what the Avengers should be. Yes, we're what Fury meant to create, but I don't believe that is how we should continue.

What I've learned from the others is that a team should be more than a group of people who work together to get things done. They should be friends. A family. And we're not.

But we could be. If we want. So I'm asking if any of you do.

[ETA: Filtered to Lady Avengers + Clint B]
I'm curious - is the Avengers Mansion locked or is there a secret knock?

[Bucky B]
How do you feel about the Balkans?

[Locked to all Avengers, past, present, future, divergent timeline, and Bucky B and Sharon C]
Happy [um] Cyber Monday. Apologies for the radio silence. Hope everyone's holidays are swell so far.

[Locked to Avengers and friends (broad filter)]

Hey everyone! Thanksgiving is coming up on Thursday, and we usually have a big dinner at the mansion. We plan on doing it this year too, so everyone is invited. Bring guests if you want. If you can give up a head's up on whether you want to come so we make sure to have enough, that would be great. And any dietary considerations. If you don't know until day of, just stop by, I'm sure we'll scrounge up enough. It's okay if you already have plans, of course.

[After this thing. Probably en route to or from Malibu.]

Hi.
I electrocuted your brother off my roof. Just thought you should know.
Love,
Tony
