It's been made clear that I'm not the only one who enjoys a good game here. Tell me, darlings, what sorts of games do you play best?

[ What sorts of games she's even talking about is questionable. Political games? Board games? Video games? She won't specify but she will take all answers. After all, it's good to find out just what sorts of things people are up to.

What sorts of games she prefers are clearly the ones she wins, if the fact that she's dressed in a bathing suit and appears to be leaning over the edge of a.. jacuzzi... with a glass of wine set next to it... has anything to say about that... ]

[ Of course it didn't. ]

You already know of my affinity for literature. Work in the library was only appropriate. I suspect you will stay keen to ulterior methods?

[ She's sure there are a number of ulterior motives for working in the library. For one thing, it'd have information access. You'd be able to keep track of what sorts of things everyone else was interested in, possibly what they might be up to if they're clearly trying to learn a specific skill. Meet a lot of people, make connections, have easy access to certain records to get rid of them if you've got the right skill set. ]

I can think of a number of them off the top of my head.

[ At least Loki can do that then. It takes her a while to read anything anymore without getting a bad headache. She suspects once she's gotten used to this it'll be a little better at least, but..

Well, Loki doesn't have to know that she's been having troubles reading. Or that she has to practice at night to make sure she can manage her depth perception so she doesn't run into the door frames during the day. ]

[ As usual, the Queen was correct in her estimations. Loki did love to read, but passion couldn't be the only reason for a man to take a job. ]

You are nothing if not resourceful.

[ He said that with a smile, of course. He wasn't entirely keen on being bitchslapped again.

Do be a darling and share with the class if you find anything interesting. I get something I can use you may get something back.

[ Maybe. It depends on her mood at the time and just how much she needs or wants what information he has. ]

That could certainly be arranged should the circumstance arise.

[ He paused before giving her a curious look. ]

Are you implying that you may have something that would be of interest to me?

I have a number of things that may be of interest to a number of people. What matters is whether or not they have something of interest to offer me.

[ It was undeniable that the Queen was likely in possession of a great bit of information, though he did wonder how much of it would be of any real benefit to him. ]

And just what would interest you, I wonder?

A girl by the name of Babydoll recently arrived.

[ And Second has one hell of an interest in her. ]

Keep an eye on her and give me anything you have. I'm sure something will come through that grapevine of yours that might be useful.

[ And there it was. Something he could work with.

If only everyone were so cooperative. ]

Consider it done.

[ He smiled, raising his wine glass to seal their deal. ]

[ If she wanted something she went after it. No sense in assuming people could read her mind. ]

With immediate updates if anything peculiar happens, darling.

Naturally. It would be improper to keep royalty waiting.

[ Such a flattering lil shit. ]

Just what is it that you desire, Loki? I have many things I can offer, but it wouldn't do to show my cards so easily.

[ Flattery gets you far in life. ]

I think we are all more than just a bit curious about how this prison really works.

[ That wasn't all that interested him, but he was never one willing to reveal his full intent. ]

About how it works? Darling, you're going to have to be a little more specific than that.

[ That's a hell of a lot of information for watching one girl, and Anastasia doesn't have all of the parts to that answer either. ]

Shall we start with how they bring the dead back to life, perhaps?

[ Hey, she asked what he wanted, not what was obtainable. ]

I'll see what I can do.

[ He's going to have to settle if she can't get that answer, but she's not going to give up without at least trying to get it out of Second. ]

I trust you won't disappoint.

[ Come now, your Majesty. You should know better than most that neither of them were people keen on settling for anything. ]

[ Of course not. If she doesn't, she can always play it off that until she gets what she wants exactly he doesn't get shitdick. That tends to work for her. ]

That is one crime I would never be convicted for.

[ Okay Ana you're clearly in charge. ]

I have no doubt of that.

[ He absently swirled the wine around in its glass. ]

Is there anything in particular I should know about this girl that you want me to keep such a close eye on?

[ Ana hasn't actually taken a sip yet, she's more just holding her own glass. ]

Nothing I can divulge at the moment, but for your own benefit I would avoid letting harm fall upon her.

[ Loki wasn't particularly interested in the wine either, though he did sip at it on occasion. It would be poor form to be offered a drink and not partake in it. ]

You needn't worry. I will protect her with my life if necessary.

Don't go that far, darling.

[ It's a favor for Second, not a mission impossible. ] My business with her isn't that concerning.

I think I sense a touch of concern.

[ But being dramatic was so much fun. ]

Your usefulness to me is more apt alive, that's all.

[ Putting too much import on Babydoll puts the girl in danger from attention. That was part of this little task as well. ]

The evidence is beginning to topple in my favor, your Majesty. Before this is over you might even willingly admit to liking me.

[ Shh. Loki knew how to be discreet. ]
