I suppose you're welcome for my encouraging you to drink?

Do I get to hear the rest of your powers?

[helpdesk_hero]

No. I thank you for showing me back to someone I care for quite deeply.

Do I get to ask you questions?

[thecoolerloki]

Yes. But I'd prefer if we avoided questions involving the circumstances of my death or Leah for the time being.

[helpdesk_hero]

That's fair. I tend to avoid questions about my death and Tommy for the time being.

I'm technopathic now. Basically, I can control machines with my mind. Talk to them even. Was hilarious, I think I made Ikol flinch at one point because I was taking a bath after he rescued me, and I wanted to talk, so I used my glasses to access his wifi so I could override his Alexa.

[thecoolerloki]

:O
Did you videotape this particularly poggers prank!

[helpdesk_hero]

Sadly no camera in there, so I couldn't. But I'm just saying, machines and I get on in new ways now. It's very nice.

Now here is my question for you. Are you going to be joining the education system here?

I ask this not to harry you into doing it. I ask this because if you do choose to do so, I would really appreciate to know what this place teaches. What is taught is insight into the ways of thinking of the people around you. And that's important.

[thecoolerloki]

You must have access to many more memes than I do. It's an impressive skill.

I have yet to decide. In some ways it seems like a waste of my time, but it might be useful to gather intelligence as you suggest. As opposed to the sort of intelligence they expect be to me gaining. XD

[helpdesk_hero]

ACcess to, and given the fact that I can make up photo editing with my mind, I can make them too.

Doesn't mean I'm a meme person. I'm more snark and sarcasm.

You're smart enough as is. But if you do decide, I'm sure I can find some way of paying you back for the intel.

[thecoolerloki]

Saying you're not a meme person is like saying you're not a joke person. Memes are merely the method of delivery, the content itself can be snarky and sarcastic.

I'd like to know more about this payment before I potentially waste my time twice over.

[helpdesk_hero]

It's not a joke transmission method I prefer.

Cooking. My thanks is often given in the form of food.

[it's also how he shows affection. THe kid doesn't need that knowledge.]

[thecoolerloki]

Unfortunately I cannot offer my services then.

[helpdesk_hero]

What would you prefer in exchange, were you to go about the exchange?

[thecoolerloki]

Money, information, something actually useful.

[helpdesk_hero]

I suppose money could be given, once my job starts. And information, of course. If you chose to do this.

[thecoolerloki]

That would be acceptable.
I believe there's one power left remaining?

[helpdesk_hero]

There is. It's easier to see than anything else. But I can create psychic energy projections.

[thecoolerloki]

Similar to my magical energy projections, I presume?

[helpdesk_hero]

Perhaps. But it's only close to me, and size limited. And it has mass. I can use it as a shield or a weapon.

[thecoolerloki]

Cool.

Concerning my possible assignment of information gathering: would you prefer I do so as an ordinary student or as Loki?

[Congrats, David. You got him excited about school.]

[helpdesk_hero]

[Take that kid. Who's easily manipulated now?]

I need more practice with it, but it's refreshing to have an active combat power.

I suppose it would depend on what sort of school it is. If it's just normal students, you probably should go as ordinary, and then if people give you issues you can deal with them subtly and no one will know it's you that did it. Or maybe can't confirm it. If it's something were you're surrounded by powered people, probably better to just be you, because you aren't someone to be messed with.

[thecoolerloki]

It also depends on what sort of information you'd prefer, in either case.

[helpdesk_hero]

Like I said, I'm interested in knowing what they think you should know.

[thecoolerloki]

But which school interests you more?

[helpdesk_hero]

I don't know if there is more than one. But given how little I trust these meta-organizations, one indoctrinating young metas is interesting.

[thecoolerloki]

I wonder how they'd deal with one who's already chosen their alignment, though.
