[The first thing that people notice is that people are walking of their own accord again. Six months to the day of Loki’s hostile takeover and everyone currently under the thrall of Team Loki will begin walking from wherever they are, heading over the Golden Gate Bridge to the mountains. If someone happens to catch sight of them, or try and stop them …

… well, it’s probably for the best you don’t.

This also includes the ones who have newly arrived back in the city. Shortly after the arrival process is complete, a transmission gets broadcast across the bracelets. Loki is sitting on the throne of the Royal Palace, sprawled lazily across the Charming and Snow White’s thrones, looking almost bored were it not for the fact that he is never as harmless as he seems.]

Well. May was certainly an interesting month, wasn’t it? The May flowers were in full bloom.

[But does he sound happy about that? No. No he does not.]

However, these little games you all are playing, thinking you can get one over on Loki, they’re going to stop. Now. This is my realm now, and if you all want to stay here, peacefully, we’re going to make some … accommodations.

I want the half-demon, and the Sea Witch. I want them to be delivered to me, at this castle, within thirty days. They’re not part of you, so there should really be no issues with regards to turning them over. Especially when ones that are are on the line.

[He shifts in his seat to put himself in position more befitting of a monarch before continuing on.]

I’ve collected my acolytes – both willing and not – and have brought them all the stay in this castle. They will remain here until my demands have been met. If they’re not, you will never see any of them again.

[There’s a very thin smile, before leaning back in his seat.]

The clock is ticking.

[And with that, the feed cuts out.

What will you do, Indebted?]
