the price will be thus: you must ask better questions
if it is a more permanent sort of portal, it likely could be summoned into existence again. think of an empty doorway with no physical door, you could always place a door in it, yes? but there are more flippant portal types too, the kind you create and destroy on a whim. my magic is akin to this, and i can create a portal to nearly anywhere in this realm. but i would need to know WHERE i am going
as for tracking, it may be possible so long as you have remnants of the dragon. scales, blood, i know there were a few scavengers who scurried after its remains. we could perhaps place a tracking spell on a future beast before it is reduced to such pitiful leftovers, but that's not my speciality nor my interest.
[Loki could portal to this hypothetical Beast Hammerspace but needs the location. They can get a location tracking a future beast (if there is one), if he finds someone who actually does tracking spells. Okay, the dots, he's connecting them.
Kind of sad that his questions are being judged, but oh well. That's the price for skipping Introduction to Magic in the library.]
no one ever asks about me :( it's always "loki how does basic teleportation work" and never "loki what's your astrological sign" "loki how do i charge a phone" and not "loki what is the best way to utterly destroy someone emotionally" "loki if you were in the trolley problem what would you do"
[Loki that's because the two people currently in your inbox hate personal questions and also love pretending they have no friends. I'm so sorry.]
That may be a side effect of you declaring yourself god and liaison on the first day.
Loki, have you made any friends? Do you want myself and maybe Checkmate, though we are quite friendless ourselves, to spend a day trying to net some of that for you?
Alternatively, are you interested in wrestling in the nude? Someone in my life is looking for sparring partners.
for the record, you're making it worse i have plenty of friends and do not require your help in that matter! unlike you two i am quite sociable and very fun!
i only mean to point out that yes i am a god and a liaison, but i am not google
everyone's plans and theories are also the most extremely basic hero shit you need to think outside of the box, think of what the fae may not have accounted for because they surely have accounted for the plots anyone would think of
rather than wait for another boss battle, why not create our own? transform someone into a dragon and see where they end up!
[Damn. Rejection hurts, but he decides that if he's not interesting enough for Loki right now he's not going to try and force it. It would be pandering, at best, and because he doesn't have a good idea what Loki likes it would probably also be bad pandering.]
I'll look into the dragon idea.
[He's stopped being chatty, so Loki is free to either follow up or simply leave the conversation as it is.]
well i've never really had a proper one! fortune tellings sure, but a horoscope requires an astrological sign and my birth was long before humans had agreed on a calendar system
i think it sounds rather fun though, a bunch of vague statements that could be applied to anyone but that feel special and important when applied to you
[There's some delay between replies, as Laurent does in fact take a whack at becoming a dragon. It's actually possible to become a small dragon, but at his level Laurent is just becoming some kind of dog-sized lizard and dropping the phone.]

Ignore the above, was transformed
Isn't it based on the position of the stars? I suppose it doesn't much matter.
Thoughts on picking one? It could be by chance or some other metric, if you can't calculate a birth date equivalent to one of the calendars.
it's based on the position of the stars above midgard, surprisingly enough my parents in jotunheim didn't think to go and check another realm for their runt of a son's astrological sign. they were much too busy being disappointed with my size after all!
i think if i picked one... perhaps sagittarius or aquarius? or gemini for obvious reasons

I don't know any children here.
What would be a better question?
no subject
it's always "loki how does basic teleportation work" and never "loki what's your astrological sign"
"loki how do i charge a phone" and not "loki what is the best way to utterly destroy someone emotionally"
"loki if you were in the trolley problem what would you do"
really i would welcome anything beyond magic 101

Did you have any bigger siblings to be around for you?
no subject
my siblings do not matter in this part of the story, but i will inform you that my father was maybe ten times my size.
no subject
Is size a reflection of anything, then? What was your father a god of?
no subject
[And Loki frowns, realizing now why these questions are continuing.]
this wasn't what i meant when i said i enjoyed talking about myself. this truly is obvious flattery as you said
