[Loki, carrying a cute stuffed goat under each arm, is walking down the street. His Stark phone is filming as he broadcasts, it must be floating in front of him somehow. He smiles winsomely.]

Rather like ants in a farm, isn't it? All of you trapped in this city, crawling over each other in fear and panic. Grasping for contact with others just to connect. To try and find some semblance of control in a situation you have no power to save yourself from.

[He stops and turns around, placing the stuffed goats on the sidewalk, each one, then turning to face the camera.]

The thing about ant farms, someone's always out there to give them a shake and see what happens. [A gleam in those green eyes, the glitter of horns on his crown instead of feathers.

In a breath, a heartbeat, those stuffed goats are alive, growing, grown. Larger than tanks with sharp hooves, breaking and churning the concrete in rageful pawing. Red eyes. Sharp teeth. Loki just smiles.]

Start scrambling.

[OOC: Joint log with Luke to go up later if anyone wants to be confronted by Gods on Goats.]

[Luke's grin is all teeth. He's much nearer Loki's age than usual, maybe only a visible year older.]

Oh, what very nice goats. [He lifts one hand, already engulfed in flame.] I thought I might add a magnifying glass.

[doeswhathewants]

Ah! I do enjoy an extended metaphor.

One of the goats is yours for the taking should you choose to ride with me. We can have some real fun.

[infernoandhearth]

[Bow. Sort of. The device dips with him so it just goes oddly angled for a moment. After which he straightens, and goes right back into his fierce glee.]

Oh good, I feel as if I've been holding myself back forever. Thor never lets me near his goats, you know. It would be funnier if he were here. Will you kindle a flame? I'll find you faster.

[indecent_butterfly]

Ants do tend to swarm when annoyed too far and bite the hand before them.

[doeswhathewants]

And yet ants they remain. Insignificant and easily damaged.

[indecent_butterfly]

So very true. As long as you plan on damaging them enough to make it worthwhile. Do you?

[asofwar]

[What universe has she just walked into that little Loki is riding a large - let's not call it giant yet, Sif's seen giant beasts and this one is just moderately upsetting - stuffed animal?

One where, as usual in the company of any Loki, her headaches never end.]

How do goats relate into your metaphor, exactly?

[doeswhathewants]

If you have to ask, Sif, then you'll never know.

I only like them. They remind me of just how gullible even a god can be.

[asofwar]

I will never know, or you have no idea yourself?

[Slightly confusing looking goat stuffed toys aside, this is. Rather cute. Worth keeping an eye on! But...endearing.

(She's grown soft.)] I imagine the stuffed rabbits would not have as...terrifying an effect.

[itsjustafruit]

Isn't that just precocious.

[doeswhathewants]

Yes, a child's game. Nothing more.

[itsjustafruit]

I see that. You... have fun with that or something. I'll just watch and eat barbecue in your honor.

[helsmaiden]

[ Well this seems more interesting than simply setting people on fire, which is what Leah was about to do. She'll just teleport to wherever Loki is and follow along. ]

Action

[doeswhathewants]

If you intend to share my goat, you're riding in front.

Unless you would prefer...[He casts a glance about, gaze settling on some stone lions outside of a tall building.] Something cattier.

Action

[infernoandhearth]

[Thrilled.]

You ought to do that ANYWAY.

[harrydresden]

[Someone's getting Gruff flashbacks.]

Seriously? You know, most kids get bored and have a squirt gun fight.

[doeswhathewants]

[And no donuts this time.]

Mortal children, perhaps. This isn't boredom, Harry. This is comeuppance.

Private;

[worldofourown]

How absolutely precious.

Private;

[doeswhathewants]

Just at that age, I suppose.

[tangledintower]

[This is Rapunzel, giving an exasperated sigh. Oh, Loki, you are so weird.]

Are those goats going to go back to normal later?

[She is impressed how big they are. Albeit a little freaked out because GOATS SHOULD NOT EAT CONCRETE.]

[doeswhathewants]

If I so choose. Fear not, Rapunzel. You have shown me proper deference, I'll not seek harm against you.

[shortcut]

Haaaah. Don't know a ton about ants, do you.

Try again.

[doeswhathewants]

Spoken like one.

[fe_male]

Most people tend to have the sense not to shake up the masses while they're stuck in there with them.

[doeswhathewants]

Oh no, Man of Iron, I am not stuck here with you. You are stuck here with us. And I do not use the royal we.
