There is an owl. In the library. Who think it has some sort of authority to decide who will be reading books.

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

[That makes Billy scowl immediately. Right.]

Yeah, I saw that. I'm not surprised, but I'm not happy, either.

[He wonders how Wang Shi Tong would feel if he knew he's a TV show character, just ink and paper himself. That'd be a fun story to trade, heh.]

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

I will not stand for it.

If he wants to occupy the library, I care not. But he shall not have the books.

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

[That doesn't surprise Billy, either. This is Loki, after all.]

You're not going to... you know...

[He draws a finger across his neck, brow lifting. He doubts it - Loki knows better than to come to him for help with that - but, you know. Just in case.]

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

I am keeping to the bargain. If he is fool enough to attack me, then I shall defend myself. But that is something I would avoid now.

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

Okay. So what's the plan?

[And how can I help? he doesn't ask- in part because he figures Loki will tell him, but also because he's thinking he won't particularly like his role in it, even without killing involved.]

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

I can craft a spell that will allow me to fold all of the books into the other dimensional space where I tend to keep my things. And hold them there temporarily. But what I lack is enough sheer power.

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

[...Yep. Definitely not liking where this is going.]

Um. You do remember I'm not using magic right now, right...?

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

[He raises an eyebrow.]

I'll be the one using the magic, Billy. You'll be merely lending it to me.

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

...Yeah, but I'd still be... you know... involved. I'm six months out of practice here, and...

[The dangers of this is pretty damn obvious to him, why can't Loki see it? Why can't anyone see it?]

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

[Dryly:] I have confidence in your ability to play the part of battery, Billy. Even if you do not.

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

[He fidgets awkwardly. It's all well and good to have Loki believe in him, but...]

My magic is powered by how much I believe in it. No offense, but it's not your confidence that matters here.

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

Well, do you believe that something needs to be done about the owl in the library?

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

...Um. Sure, yeah, but...

[Is that really going to be enough?]

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

[He gives Billy an evil smile.] And do you believe that a prank would be better than me, say, baking the owl into a pie?

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

[WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY]

O-of course I do! Geez!

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

[He pats Billy on the shoulder.]

Well, then I need your help.

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

[Arrrgh, he was totally just talked into a corner.]

...Isn't there someone else? Someone reliable?

[Luceti has plenty of powerhouses, there has to be a decent mage available to help.]

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

[FINISH HIM]

No one else that I trust as I trust you.

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

[.......

god

damn

it

Sometimes he hates you, Loki.]

...Fine. I'll try...

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

[FATALITY]

[Loki gives Billy that big brother asshole smile and grips his shoulder in that special Asgardian way, if toned down to an unbruising level.]

I know you'll do better than simply try.

Re: [April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

Whatever you say, Yoda.

[He feels totally swindled.]

I'll ask Teddy to come with us. If you're casting a big spell and I'm getting my magic drained, we'll need someone to watch out backs.

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

That would be very helpful indeed. That number of books is sure to be heavy.

[April 23, action]

[selfhelp]

Heavy?

[Wait, that sounds bad. There's a lot of books.]

I thought they were gonna be in, uh, dimensional space or whatever. Are you still going to feel it?

Re: [April 23, action]

[complicatedliar]

Heavy is perhaps not the right word. But it is a lot of objects, a lot of mass, a great many atoms to keep from being lost in uncoordinated otherspace.
