So how did I end up discovering the hysterical delights of Mythical Detective Loki? Here's how it went: I got an email form VUDU, which is an online movie rental place, sort of like Netflix, where Nin and I rent a lot of our movies. You can buy Thor: The Dark World from them TODAY!!!!! So, I'm tempted. It's not a hard copy, but TODAY!!!! And the tempting bit? Loki: The God of Mischief (VUDU exclusive) How can one resist? So I decide to do a websearch to see if it really is so exclusive, and one of the results I get back is, you guessed it, Mythical Detective Loki.
So, now the question: do I buy Thor TDW from VUDU all for Loki: The God of Mischief (VUDU exclusive) Stupid question, right? And I can watch now, I don't have to wait till the end of the month for the DVD to be released.

One thing lead to another, and much to Loki's horror, he ended up with the title of Mythical Detective which he absolutely HATES, but somehow can't change, and people keep going to him for help. Tony had the bright idea of setting up a business and start charging people for the services and in between running SI and coming up with new tech, he'd quite frequently pop by to take readings of said mythical shit cos damn it! Everything can be explained by science and he doesn't believe in all this magic voodoo mumbo jumbo shit much to Loki's amusement.... and my brain obviously has taken the bloody idea and ran with it.
I'll shut up now and go to bed.

But seriously though, I think I have a pretty good AU idea there, I just need to get someone to write it for me. It'll be a bit like Burn Notice in that Loki just keeps on getting dragged into helping people when he just don't want to and have shit of his own to deal with. His waek spot would be cases involving children cos hey, he's pretty much the patron saint of kids (pardon the mix religious comparison), with them being all chaotic and mischivious and all that, and he's also completely ruthless when it comes to dealing with enemies... BAMF!Loki detective to the rescue! And...and oh shit, more plot bunnies have emerged for IM1 movie AU in this verse! Noooo.......
Oh dear god, I need to stop! I'm typing this at work FFS!

Damn it, I need to be discouraged! I don't have time to work on an epic AU right now and this would be an epic AU! I have a job application to finish this weekend WHILE ATTENDING A CONVENTION! I'm not even sure how that's going to work out. I think locking myself in the room and ordering room service might be on the agenda for Saturday night while others party on... :/
