Mini Plot: Loki's Miracle Cure

[falsehoods]

Going into Stage Two of the Epidemic, Loki will take advantage of the growing disturbance and offer a miracle cure! After all, who better to perform a miracle than a god?

He'll make a rare appearance in the city and lay his hands upon sick individuals, magically cleansing their bodies of the disease...for a while, anyway. Loki is not much of a healing god, he's more the other thing. After a few days the disease will return as if it has never been purged.

What was Loki doing, then? Well, when he lays his hands on someone he'll put a spell on them by planting a small bit of his power in the back of their minds. At a later date, Loki will awaken this spell and these people will suddenly be under his direct control. This is a plot I did one on one in another game and it was pretty fun, so this one is opened up to anyone who would like to take part.

Some things of note:

•Sleeper agents of Loki's will NOT be activated during this plot!
• There is no saying when he'll choose to awaken the spell, but when he does the person/people will be under his control for no longer than a few hours.
• If you change your mind about this when Loki does decide to activate the spell (since it won't be for some time) that is perfectly fine. The IC explanation will be the spell simply didn't take to your character.
• Having a small piece of latent Trickster in the brain can have an effect on your character but only if you want it to. They might be slightly more temperamental, they might have strange nightmares, act out more, whatever you feel is appropriate.

Loki will make a post about this and you can assume he cast his spell on your character if you want (let me know here) or play it out in action then if you'd prefer. Keep in mind that Loki won't be chasing anyone down, he'll offer the cure and lay his hands on anyone who accepts it.

man this is neat and i'd love to be involved but tony would inherently almost vehemently distrust anything that came from loki because lol "canon" interaction so i can't have him involved at all in the fun respects. nothing really aside from call 'bullshit' whenever/if loki makes an ic announcement to the 'miracle' fact over the network.

although that will be fun too, don't get me wrong.

[highfrequency]

Cue Loki wringing his hands and woe-ing that people don't trust him because of something a different Loki did. Injustice!

[fe_male]

yeah tony doesn't even care about loki and his dramatics ok he's just that world weary

and also distrusting sry bro

[needsteaplz]

Wow this does sound like fun! This would be a great revenge shot for Loki at Saori for what happened in April.

Unfortunately, she's not going to be severely sick but she's just going to be coughing a lot. He's still welcome put that spell on her somehow.

[highfrequency]

He's letting people come to him for this, actually!

[needsteaplz]

Then Saori's going to take off from taking care of her roommates to stop him. She's going to fail miserably because she's sick but it won't stop her from trying.

[pixieboots]

oh gosh I love this plan.

Dick won't be all that sick so if he's going for dramatics alone it might not work but if you think he would bother with him he can totes use him for this purpose!

[highfrequency]

Loki is letting his victims come to him! Do you think Dick would ask him for help after he makes the offer?

[pixieboots]

Actually I think that would work! He's been legitimately healed with magic here before so he'd okay with the process in theory and he doesn't want to get sicker man he has sleeper agents to hunt down.

[highfrequency]

Then Loki will heal your Dick. For a few days anyway.

Oh man. ...You know what? Sign me up for this. By the eighth time Nathan's died of this disease he won't much care about how suspicious this miracle cure is.

[falsehoods]

Sure thing. Want to handwave it or play it out? I can do either!

[grannyfucker]

We can play it out! I'm planning on putting up a thread in the hospital tomorrow and I'll probably make a network post soon too once he's died a few times and is getting agitated.

oh or i could tag that post you made, that works too

Ella might as well be the only immune transport I think? But she'll totally clash with him and just be a chatty brat. It might be interesting to have them talk, at least?

[falsehoods]

Totally! Loki's pretty prickly/meddlesome with other god-types so if I step on toes let me know.

[koufukuriron]

I'm still wondering how she's going to keep this conversation without saying too much lol, but we'll see how it goes XD

/too lazy to change journals

[falsehoods]

We can retcon it so that Loki does NOT sense her aura if that would make things easier.

[koufukuriron]

Nonono! I like that fact. She can't keep all her little things wrapped up like that >:3

[pride_of_amarcia]

Have an idiot falling right for this plan.
