[sorcerous]

I require supplies.

Hand-forged iron. Bones that have seen the stars. Filaments that cast shadow instead of light. A tesseract.

And energy.

I am willing to bargain.

What would it mean, to have been seen by stars?

And do you need a few or a whole set?

[So curious about these weird requirements.]

[The urge to point out the Doctor to him is strong. But then the Doctor might in turn point out that he, Narvin, is also an alien.]

Sorry, I can't help you with that.

[Switches to a locked channel after he hears Loki's conversation with Sif.]

A tesseract, however, that I can do.

My price is simple. If you manage to find a way off this rock, take me with you.

[ Good. Someone with advanced enough science to produce one. Loki was not eager to build one himself. Teleportation through the next dimension was difficult enough. ]

And if you cannot survive, where I go?

[sorcerous]

Either ones that have soaked in starlight or ones that have, literally, lived under other suns. I would prefer the latter, but given a place so simple...

[eternaliyah]

Species requirements?

[sorcerous]

None in particular. The higher the species, the greater the power. The lower, the more I need.

[ But, really, Loki considers everyone low compared to him. ]

[eternaliyah]

Higher in the Aristotelian sense, I suppose?

[sorcerous]

Higher in the sense of thought, faculty, understanding. Higher and better.

[original_fine]

Pretty tall order. The parts I actually understand, anyway.

[sorcerous]

It is a difficult spell.

So you're not making some fancy distillery, then? That's a shame.

[Starbuck's just teasing since she's been paying attention to the open channels and it's easier to be flippant after everything that's been going on.]

[audio]

[sorcerous]

Haven't you already?

[ An odd pang, in his center. He wonders if she will want to go. ]

[Wing...has no idea what half of those are. Much less how they go together.]

What sort of energy?

[Wasn't he just mentioning this to someone? He is, after all, a mechanical being.]

[video]

[sorcerous]

The useable kind.

[video]

[knightoflight]

Electrical?

[audio]

[buckingauthority]

I've got the parts I think I need. Not so hot on the design, though. And I've still gotta sweet talk that Fox guy into doing some welding for me.

[A pause.]

So, you think you've found a way off of this rock?

[finnick_odair]

What kind of bones?

Really...what is any of this for?

[audio]

[sorcerous]

I have always had a way.

[ His voice now is tight, a tremor in it -- like a string drawn too tense. ]

I have found a need.

[video]

[sorcerous]

It would suffice.

[sorcerous]

A spell.

[video]

[knightoflight]

You can use me.

[video]

[sorcerous]

Do you generate it? Does your life depend on it?

[finnick_odair]

A what?

[sorcerous]

A working. A magical working.

[video]

[knightoflight]

...yes?

[Is that a problem?]

You can take a great deal before the spark itself is drained, though.
