This is M. I'm most likely out punching someone. Don't worry, they deserve it.

Probably.

I'll call you back later.

[heliophilic]

Do I not look like a diva to you?

[Hard not to be confident when you know how everything is going to end.]

Seems like you can't swing a stick without hitting someone with super strength in a world with superheroes.

[mischiefsmith]

Like an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race.

[Probably not a reference he would get, but the inferences are there. You're a Queen M.]

It's the go-to super power, I was stripped of mine when I got here, stripped of many abilities actually. I suppose I'm alright with not being a cliche.

[heliophilic]

[What can he say? He knows how to work it.]

I've heard of the porter giving people powers, but not taking them away.

[mischiefsmith]

It could be a malfunction on my part, but I doubt it.

[He's just that confident.]

I had a number of abilities and strengths before arriving, but I've been reduced to illusions and astral projection. [His invisibility coat is still his secret.] I could lift 50 tons, I had superdense tissue which made me very heavy and very durable, a had a healing factor so sublime I could reattach severed limbs--my own head at one point, I could exert myself at peak limitations for up to a day without tiring, I could shape-shift, and my sorcery could bend reality...I turned all of the cars in New York to ice cream. Ah, but the shape-shifting was fun and funny, if you can picture this body with the head of a fox. Then there's my seven league boots and my Sword of Truth, ah, my wonderful, magically imbued gifts to myself...

...I figure that it's too convenient to be mere coincidence.

[heliophilic]

[He leans forward as Loki lists off his abilities, listening intently.]

Probably not. Something tells me that whoever brought us here wanted your mischief to be more.. manageable.

[mischiefsmith]

Now why would anyone want to curtail my mischief? Do they not understand that this world would be a better place if I'm not inhibited? What is this world hunger? We have perfectly good cars just waiting to be turned into ice cream. So many problems could be easily solved by turning fools into frogs.

Perhaps they do understand these things and they have no wish to have their problems solved, I would be such a benevolent overlord. [You've quite possibly hit the nail on the head though, Loki.] Well, alright, I suppose I can see the point.

[heliophilic]

That's the pity about some people.

[M leans back.]

They have no imagination.

[mischiefsmith]

[It's Loki's turn to lean forward.]

Oh? What scenarios are playing out in your imagination? Not frogs and ice cream cars I suspect.

[heliophilic]

Oh no, nothing fun like that.

[...WEll, okay, it's kind of fun for him. But "millions of ways to kill you and anyone else I make eye contact with" doesn't seem to be appropriate dinner conversation.]

I'm afraid I'm not one for imagination either.
