I can't fly up to the dais. I'm sure I can't. Luckily, I don't have to. The dais floats over and the steps crank down, lowering until they are within easy reach. Grabbing Daji's hand, I feel like I float up the steps. Everyone follows in a mad rush. Fortunately, the dais is big enough for several 787s to land on it, and Fuxi comes damn close to a 787. Our entire board can easily fit on the dais.
Loki beckons us with a smile. "I am a member of the Wendigo executive board, so I am doing double duty as host and honoree tonight. For those of you who say that is unfair, you can just kiss my Asgard."
Ripples of laughter. Everyone is used to Loki's outrageous, flamboyant style. I'm convinced Loki is the original troll. Either that or Kokopelli is.
