A god burns. (They always do.)
With her burns the world. (It was too small, too tight, and what better than the great cosmic reset button to address that?)
(With her burns her chains.)
A child opens her eyes.

A child opens her eyes.
A local crow seems interested in what they're doing, following them at a short distance, hopping around them, eyeing their supplies.
"Hey crow!" Silv calls, before making a few odd croaking noises, shifting his throat to do so. (He's offering a bit of food. It's good to be friends with crows, after all.)
"Guess that's a no. C'mon, let's get this stuff to the hideout..." Which involves cutting near the outer fence, for the most secret route.
The crow follows.
And, when they're close to the fence -
Takes off, cawing loudly, fluttering towards the fence.
"What - !" "- Damn bird!" "Hey, that's mine - " a few voices - teenagers, vaguely familiar perhaps, exclaim.
"Shut the fuck up, guys," someone says, lowly.
Someone quite familiar to Loki -
Quentin, or Kid Omega.
Loki goes very, very still.
Don't notice us, we're whispers on the wind, children holding their breath and never being seen - walk away, walk along, don't look back - (she whispers, to Quentin, to the universe - )
(It's a neat, tidy little story, the mischievous child hiding from the plot they stumbled upon. An easy little lie for the universe to believe, just long enough...)
And the teenagers continue through the fence - clearly sneaking out, but not noticing the shadows listening to them.
"It's not safe," Loki says, hesitantly, even as she chafes at the idea of fear holding her back.
Still, she knows she's not ready, not to face a pissed off Kid Omega with just her friend to protect.
"And they're probably just going out to do drugs or something dumb, and we've still got our stuff to hide."
Mal thinks they should center it around enhancing technology, though technology can do so much it'll be hard figuring out something only magically enhanced tech can do...
Loki has any knowledge of how Asgardians blended technology with magic! Hopefully that'll be enough to show off...
Still, Raine seems tense around Loki - pretty much the entire time, answering her a bit more shortly than normal, usually directing comments to Mal...
"Oh. That." She waves a hand. "No big deal, just some personal stuff. School stress, mostly."
"Well - if you need anything, help or just someone to vent to, you can let me know, alright?"
