The Official Chronological Timeline of the Elysium'verse

This page is a concise and abridged bulletpoint list of every major event of the Elysium'verse RP world canon, which began "OoC/out-of-universe" in the year 2009 and has continued to this day.✧ Each event on this list is linked to its appropriate section found on relevant character's pages, for more detailed information about every event.

✧ Don't think too hard about the actual canonical, "In-Universe" year any events are taking place within; as canonically we had played through a "five-year-jump" ahead and so our timeline doesn't quite match up in one direction or another to the modern day? Real-time years are included here just for some sort of frame of reference.

And so, without further ado... please proceed to scroll this very, very long list.

The early events (Taci arc)

This section features step by step: Maci and Tory's relationship history, through the acts of villainy of Thanatos, Melinoe, and Hades, all the way up to their marriage; the entrance/introduction of several characters into the Elysium'verse, including some specific main characters (Hypnos and Pasi, Jesse, Laphi, Eury, Epi); concluding with the forcible reset of OrigiMel-Melinoe into Meli.

Content warnings: mentions of abuse, violence, rape, murder

  • Maci and Tory's meetcute takes place - OoC - circa. 2009, in-universe it's the year 2004. Maci, angsty gothy goddess, loitering in a mortal park setting bushes on fire with no one around. Tory, angsty gothy mortal with matching pyrokinetic powers, approaches her to quip. Phone numbers and a Deity-Summoning-Tutorial are exchanged.
  • Maci and Tory become codependent best friends (platonically - promise), and they begin to spend every minute together all the time. Eventually for funsies, Maci takes Tory to her home in the Underworld for the first time, where -
  • Tory and Maci accidentally run into Hypnos, but also Thanatos, villain extraordinaire - very awkward, and Thanatos is such a dick during this run-in, but Tory has no idea about Maci and Thanatos' full history. Thanatos sweetly promises not to rat them out to Maci's dad Hades.
  • After that whole extremely weird encounter ends, tour resumes and at the Phlegethon River Tory realizes for the first time that he's in love with Maci. Thinking she's way out of his league, Tory decides to keep it a secret from her. Maci is also completely in love with him by this point, but hasn't clued into her own emotions yet, let alone Tory's.
  • Unbeknownst to Maci and Tory, on his end Thanatos says nothing to Hades but beelines straight to Melinoe (her OrigiMel incarnation, AKA other villain extraordinare) and rats them out to her. OrigiMel devises a scheme to make Maci's life miserable, using Tory as a pawn.
  • Thanatos, at OrigiMel's direction, attacks Tory with glee. He tells Tory during the assault that this attack comes by order of Hades, "to keep Tory away from his daughter." This is a complete lie but Tory has no idea, and hides the event from Maci, lying by omission to her about how he received his injuries.
  • Reluctantly, Tory distances himself discreetly from Maci for her own protection, fearing her father could retaliate against her, though they continue to regularly talk by phone.
  • Tory is physically and sexually assaulted by this phantom wearing Seph's face. Though it vanishes after the attack, it leaves Tory half-dead and believing Maci's own mother had attacked him. Afraid of upsetting Maci by exposing the crimes of her parents to her, Tory instead calls his mortal friend Jesse for help.
  • After several days of Tory in bad shape refusing to talk to anyone, Jesse steals Tory’s phone to track down Maci, the only other friend he knew Tory had. Jesse tells her something horrible had happened and that he’s worried about Tory; concerned, Maci promptly teleports over just as Tory realizes who Jesse was talking to -
  • - and she arrives just in time for the tail-end of Tory's panicked rage, accidentally overhearing him reveal exactly what "Hades" and "Persephone" had done. The world stops. Everyone collapses. Tory breaks down and leaves, but Maci follows. She shares with him the seldom revealed truth of what Thanatos had done to her, heavily abridged.
  • Tory tearfully confesses that he's in love with Maci, after she tearfully asks him why he hadn't told her who had hurt him. Tory's confession causes it to finally, finally click for Maci that she loves him, too and always has.
  • Tory doesn't believe her when she says it - Not until they share their first kiss.
  • Maci and Tory officially become a couple.
  • Furious at the (alleged) actions of her parents, Maci refuses to return to the Underworld, dropping off the grid by staying at Tory's side in the mortal world for the next few months.
  • The ancient laws of the Greek pantheon and Chthonic world state eating the Food of the Dead binds you to the Land of the Dead - Maci, as Princess, of course has always been tethered there. Despite trying to stay with Tory in the upper world, as time goes on the distance makes her ill. Tory is adamant she return to the Underworld for her health, and when she refuses to leave him, he offers to come with her despite the fear of crossing paths with her parents.
  • Their best efforts of sneaking in and out are to no avail, and Seph, the real one, innocently finds them anyway. She's shocked and confused at the eruptions of rage from Maci and Tory together, having literally no idea what they're accusing her of. Seph hears her alleged crime and swears a Styx oath that she had nothing to do with it.
  • Blindsided by Seph's innocence, the partially healed wound re-opens. Maci, Tory, and Seph together try to figure out who actually could have done it, retracing through the scene step by step. They realize OrigiMel-Melinoe was behind the attack.
  • Seph leaves to hunt OrigiMel down.
  • Shaken, Maci and Tory move to the first time to the Elysium palace for safety - and they never, ever leave. 💖
  • LOTS OF TIME PASSES! Things that happen during this duration:
  • Finally eventually! Seph does find OrigiMel and hauls her off to Tartartus, telling Hades she'd attacked a "random mortal" and framed her for it.
  • Thanatos innocently mentions to Hades that he'd seen Maci with that very random mortal long ago... huh, so weird.
  • Hades summons Maci to ask her more about it. Maci goes ballistic, accusing Hades of playing dumb in front of everyone, yelling at him that course they both knew Hades had sent Thanatos after Tory months ago just because he hated the thought of Maci dating a mortal.
  • RECORD SCRATCH “—You're WHAT?!” Oops! Maci realizes Thanatos is, as always, a fucking liar. The good news: Thanatos had never told Hades about Tory. The bad news: that meant Thanatos was after him himself; the worse news? Hades knew about Tory now. Hades... does not react well.
  • Filling Tory in on the catastrophic turn of events, Maci at last tells him the full, unabridged story about her past with Thanatos. Not just the assault she'd shared with Tory at the time of his - now, the three years of torture, the multiple violences, all that he had really done to her. In typical Maci fashion, she's brushing past it all, but Tory's not an idiot.
  • Maci talks Tory down from charging after Thanatos and strangling him then and there with his own two hands. The reality of Tory's mortality finally dawns on Maci and begins to haunt her.
  • Maci asks Tory to think about choosing to become a god for her, maybe even getting married. The answer is obviously duh yes; Tory returns topside to tie up some loose ends.
  • While Tory is topside, Hades finally finds Tory, drags him to hell and tries to kill him. Maci calls Seph first, gives up and goes after Hades herself - Seph interrupts and does save the day! Tory formally asks/agrees to marry Maci (literally with Hades and Seph arguing in the background).
  • Maci and Tory proceed to have THE MOST OBNOXIOUS, BIGGEST EVER WEDDING - and Tory becomes a god! - OoC - circa. 2010 - in universe it's 2005!
    • This marks an informal “end” to the Taci saga; everything else following from here on out starts to become events around Maci and Tory, as our cast grows.
  • Maci and Tory meet Laphi when Tory commissions him as gardener for the palace; then Eury and Epi are introduced, when Eury stumbles upon them and introduces them to his husband.
  • Thanatos, sore loser, fumes that OrigiMel's plans all failed and Tory is now immortal, of all things. He goes after Maci to target and fuck with Tory, and attacks her badly, leaving her in a three day coma.
  • Now a deity himself, Tory goes after Thanatos and finally beats the absolute shit out of him, including snapping his spine and limbs - retaliation for all that Thanatos has ever done. This act of revenge triggers Tory's rise to power as the God of Grudges & Blood Feuds. Maci gets her injuries supernaturally healed and adds the event to her endless compartmentalized backlog of un-dealt-with trauma.
  • OrigiMel walks straight out of Tartarus once she hears what Tory had done to Thanatos. She ascends to the mortal world and kills 1,001 mortals in a single night bloodbath, murdering each in the exact method of injury Tory had done to Thanatos. Tory confronts OrigiMel to stop her, leaving her plagued with Epi-brand nightmares and believing he'd won their face off.
  • A month later, OrigiMel escapes her own punishment. She arranges for Thanatos to be healed, and then resumes her act of revenge, now even angrier, going after one last mortal... Tory's own mother. Tricking and trapping Tory to be present as a witness, OrigiMel murders her directly in front of him.
  • Tory goes after OrigiMel. In a fit of rage and grief, he retaliates by physically tearing her heart out of her chest and leaving her imprisoned in a cage over the Phelegethon.
  • Maci and Epi locate and retrieve OrigiMel, erasing her memory to release her collection of shades and free the soul of Tory's mom. OrigiMel reverts to blank slate Melinoe, the evil half of her losing its hold at last.
  • Epi takes Melinoe home with him as his and Eury's adopted daughter in a split second decision at the banks of the Phelegethon.
  • Thanatos is forced into swearing a Styx oath to leave the palace alone by threat of having his own memories erased, pointing to the new wiped Melinoe as an example.
  • The blank slate Melinoe under Eury and Epi's care is overtaken at last by her good half. Melinoe officially becomes Meli, embracing Eury and Epi as her parents.

The baby boom era (Meli & Euriales arc)

This section features step by step: the birth of Maci and Tory's first child Neo, as well as Jesse and Laphi's first child Lenore; the discovery of Thanatos' child, Chal, leading to Neo's kidnapping and Thanatos' arrest; the death of Eury and Epi's child Melanie followed by the birth of Ty & Bel; concluding just before Loki's formal Elysium introduction.

Content warnings: mentions of violence, murder, gruesome child death, attempted suicide mention

  • Baby fever sparked by the quads plus watching Eury and Epi with Meli inspire Tory and Maci to try for a baby.
  • Laphi formally moves into the palace, and soon after he and Jesse announce they're officially dating.
  • Maci is pregnant with Neo! She, Tory, and company soon discover Neo is Fated to be the future Goddess of Death due to the awful side effects involved with that: specifically, Maci falling into a disturbing death-like unconsciousness every single time baby Neo is awake in-utero.
  • As part of baby-proofing the palace for the impending Death Godling, Jesse is immortalized into a god.
  • In the meantime now that Thanatos has been rendered harmless (they think), past victims Sophie, Amey, and Hess are found and healed. Through Lethe, each chooses to erase their memories of their time with Thanatos.
  • Maci's rough pregnancy becomes too much for her and Tory to bear as Neo's powers increase. With the help of childbirth goddess Ilythia, they magically accelerate her pregnancy to induce a much earlier due date.
  • Neo is born at the end of July! - OoC - circa. 2011 - BUT IN-UNIVERSE, it's the year 2006!
  • Laphi and Jesse are now trying for a baby - soon Jesse is pregnant with Lenore.
  • Thanatos snaps and really goes off the deep end once he learns that Maci and Tory's daughter is set to replace him. He talks Ker into having a child with him and secretly, Chal is born. They immediately artificially age him up to 11 years old and begin to train Chal as a puppet in acts of villainy.
  • Uncontrollably smug over his new secret weapon, Thanatos gloats to Hypnos about the existence of Chal. During this meeting he injures and threatens to further harm his son Icy (age 2 at the time) if Hypnos tells anyone that Chal exists. In desperation, after Thanatos leaves, Hypnos secretly curses Chal with eternal insomnia.
  • Meanwhile, obliviously, baby fever continues to spread and now reaches Eury and Epi. Epi soon becomes pregnant with Melanie.
  • Becoming sloppier as he slips further into cocky madness, Thanatos parades Chal to Nyx to gloat some more, used to his mother letting him get away with whatever. But this time after Thanatos leaves, Nyx calls Maci and Tory, and tells them about Chal’s existence.
  • Everyone is ALARMED. With Epi weakened by his pregnancy, Maci and Tory insist that he move his family out of their home in Tartarus and into Elysium. Maci fiddles with the Elysium barrier to get Epi in, and he, Eury and Meli move temporarily into the palace for safety.
  • Bracing this whole time for whatever Thanatos is planning with Chal, instead everyone is surprised when Thanatos resurfaces to attack Lethe as an act of revenge for assisting his former three victims. Arguing that this is a violation of his Styx oath, Tory and Maci send the Furies after Thanatos.
  • Realizing he’s running out of time, Thanatos makes a move and unleashes Chal, ordering him to kidnap baby Neo and bring her back to him. Babysitter Jesse is unlucky enough to stand off against Chal and Thanatos for the first time, losing this battle in a bloody mess - but discovering unwittingly in the aftermath once Neo's gone that his newly divine powers include the ability to heal himself, and his unborn daughter.
  • Infant Neo is kidnapped. Thanatos locks her in a cage in his Tartarus cave and… just waits, with Chal and Ker. On cue, Maci shows up to save her daughter. A standoff ensues that ends in Maci grabbing Thanatos’ scythe from him and hacking him to pieces.
  • Tory shows up with the Furies, peels Maci off of Thanatos, and they break Neo free. Thanatos (maimed) is arrested by the Furies and dragged off to a Tartarus cell. Ker holds Chal back from intervening with a claw straight through Chal's shoulder and they both disappear off the grid "forever" (or... do they?).
  • Epi, who had been twitchy inside Elysium this entire time, takes Eury and Meli and promptly moves back to their Tartarus home, now that Thanatos is gone and all seems safe again.
  • Jesse and Laphi’s daughter Lenore is born.
  • Tory finds an abandoned griffin kitten and takes it home to the palace with Maci. They name it Flint! ...I promise this is important, but not until the next section of timeline.
  • While everyone's guard is down, chaos goddess Eris ambushes Epi and Eury's household for shits and giggles, though also irked that her pal Thanatos had been arrested. She physically separates Meli's internal two beings into separate bodies for the first time - "eMel," the evil entity, and "gMel," the good one.
  • Immediately, eMel turns on Epi and kidnaps him, as his pregnancy is still affecting and weakening his powers. She and Eris together stash him in the Cronus pit while Eury and gMel flee back to the Elysium palace.
  • Tory, Maci and company search for Epi. Alena, Epi's long-time best friend, makes her first appearance in canon.
  • While the palace searches for Epi, eMel terrorizes him. She tears the unborn Melanie from Epi's womb and murders her, as she had tragically not yet developed her divine immortality. When Melanie dies, eMel uses her powers as Goddess of Ghosts to physically rip apart her shade into scattered fragments, leaving almost nothing left of her. Epi shatters.
  • eMel resumes her old hobbies of terror as Epi suffers, like murdering mortals again in the upper world, even briefly meeting loose supervillain disaster Chal. Eris starts trying to brainwash Epi using stolen Lethe River water into reverting to his full daemon form, to use him as a weapon against the palace.
  • With Epi still missing, Tory, Jesse, Eury, the rest of the palace, begin experiencing vivid dreams and nightmares. They realize this is Epi trying to contact them through his realm and soon realize where they've been keeping him -
  • - but eMel discovers that Epi's been reaching out and moves them to a secondary location before the palace can catch up. Maci and Tory arrive at Cronus' pit. They don't find Epi. They do find Melanie's remains.
  • Maci and Tory return Melanie's ashes to Eury.
  • In an ambush set-up, Epi is finally located - but by this time his memory has been mostly erased by eMel and Eris, making him uncontrollably dangerous while trapped in his daemon form. As Tory and Alena fight and subdue him, gMel appears and defeats her other half, reabsorbing her back together. Epi is taken back to the Elysium palace and healed.
  • Blaming herself for the attacks, Meli disappears from the palace. Secretly, she also sets out to find the scraps of Melanie's lost shade.
  • Epi discovers he's pregnant again, though this time unintentionally. Meli returns with Melanie's shade, patched together; Epi allows the new unborn child to absorb Melanie's soul, reincarnating her... unaware that this time around, he's actually carrying twins Ty and Bel. Fearful of the threat of her other self, Meli tries to run away again to protect her unborn sibling(s), but Epi and Eury beg her to stay - they can't lose another child.
  • Meli agrees to stay. Epi, Meli, and Eury move permanently into Maci's palace.
  • During Epi's pregnancy, the palace discovers first that Epi's carrying twins; second, that Ty and Bel are telepathic, discovered on account of the twins poking around inside everyone's head from within Epi's womb.
  • Ty and Bel are born! Even as newborns, they are immediately able to communicate telepathically with their family while just a few days old.
  • Thanatos, from his cell in Tartarus, is filled in by Eris of the drama of the months past, the release and recapture of Melinoe and the trauma inflicted upon Epi. Learning that Epi and Eury now have vulnerable children of their own, and in his slipping insanity deciding that while post-partum, surely Epi is less of a threat to fuck with, Thanatos seeks out a different previous victim to terrorize - Eury. Eris hacks the Elysium barrier to shut it temporarily off, and breaks Thanatos out of his cell.
  • At Thanatos' orders, Chal reappears from wherever the hell he'd been, to break into the palace and kidnap Eury to drop at Thanatos' feet. While in the palace, at the guidance of Eris Chal also manages to slip a poison in Meli's vicinity for the purpose of later chaos. With Eury deposited into his grasp, Thanatos manages to attack him only briefly before Epi shows up, furious that Thanatos would dare harm his mate and challenge him so directly.
  • Epi is not any less of a threat post-partum.
  • Thanatos is re-imprisoned, much worse for the wear. Chal disappears off the grid again. Epi revisits for good measure, leaving Thanatos cursed with vivid insanity-inducing nightmares.
  • Laphi proposes to Jesse, they become engaged.
  • Meno makes his first canon appearance when summoned for tattoo purposes.
  • Meli finally accidentally drinks the lurking poison that Chal had planted. eMel escapes their physical body again, but when she beelines straight to harm the twins gMel rushes after her and they both vanish...
  • And when Melinoe soon after reappears, reunited together again as one... despite acting same as ever, this Melinoe is now being secretly puppeted by her evil half. This very temporary version, "MelE" puts on a weepy show of wanting to guard and protect the baby twins from harm especially given Thanatos' recent events. There is no visible reason not to trust her.
  • The second she's left unattended, MelE approaches the twins in their crib with malicious intent and tries to harm them. Before she can, the extremely powerful months-old-mindreaders Ty and Bel forcibly slam her back and yank the correct Meli back into consciousness, locking the evil half buried much deeper inside of her. Everyone is uhh, a little taken aback by how easily they managed to do that, but overall a happy ending is had.
  • Alena and Meno start to date each other on-off.
  • Meanwhile... though unbeknownst to most of the the residents of the palace, a commotion begins in the mortal world within one of their cities, as a deity from another realm stages a hostile takeover. Though the event resolves itself topside, it perks on Tory's radar due to the sheer weirdness of it all and the brief influx of shades; though there's always strange things happening in the mortal world, and no one thinks anything else of it.
  • Several realms above the mortal world, following the aforementioned hostile takeover event - rather than be taken to his home world humiliatingly as a prisoner, the god Loki decides he once again has nothing left to live for. He jumps for the second time.
  • This time, Loki lands further underground.

The supervillain rehab sessions (Loki arc)

This section features step by step: the entrance/introduction of Loki into Elysium, and his slow come-around; the introduction of Vali and Nari, and nymph Evanthe; Loki's first Elysium pregnancy, disappearance, and birth of Fjöer; Fjöer's subsequent kidnapping and Loki's relapse; concluding with Loki overtaking the Underworld's magic, just prior to our in-universe "five year jump ahead."

Content warnings: mentions of attempted suicide, child abuse, murder, gruesome child death, violence

(Return to top)

  • OoC it's May 2012 - but in-universe, welcome to the Alternate Reality of the Elysium'verse where the events of the Avengers took place in 2007. Shh!
  • Epi meets Loki, wandering lost and angry in the Underworld shortly after an off-screen crashlanding. Sweetly leading him straight to the guard dog Cerberus, Epi reports back to Maci and Tory that a mortal has broken into the Underworld once again.
  • Reappearing (to save Maci's puppy what the hell), Epi leads them to where Loki is now causing a scene, but Tory immediately recognizes this "mortal" for who he is, having just seen the chaos on the news. Tory immediately throws Loki in Tartarus for safekeeping. He starts the process of contacting the... [stares directly at the camera] team who had previously neutralized him a few days ago.
  • Maci calls time-out.
  • Loki is too pretty to rot in Tartarus forever, she says; and maybe there's a way to show him the error of his ways, if only they could take him home. Plus, again... he's really, really pretty. A brief argument ensues.
  • ...which Maci wins. Batting his eyelashes, Loki goes along with this as his ticket to manipulated freedom and allows himself to be extracted out of Tartarus and brought to the Elysium palace. All plans of escape fizzle as Loki discovers by the time they arrive in the palace that his brother has already been summoned to meet them there.
  • Tory consults with the Fates for advice. In their cryptic way, they confirm loosely that Loki's not beyond saving - that "cleaning up the mess, finding all the keys" would unlock the door to healing him. Tory instructs the rest of the palace to give Loki space. Maci propositions Loki formally. He laughs in her face.
  • Loki is given an ultimatum in order to stay in Elysium: option one, refuse to comply and be sent back to Asgard as a prisoner (no); option two, remain here and either openly discuss his feelings in words with the palace (NO!!!), or through option three, consent to allowing Tory & co. to view his trauma directly through his memories in order to figure out how to help. Cornered, Loki cynically agrees to "try" the third option.
  • By commissioning sleep god Hypnos along with nightmare god Epi himself, this is Elysium's first canon instance of Memory Dream Theater - an audience (begrudgingly) invited into accessing someone's own head through the dreamscape world, Loki in this case, to view his past like an immersive video. Epi insists that Tory specifically be present to witness these memories.
  • A mental spelunking team made up of Epi, Tory, Thor, and relaxation goddess Pasi begin these sessions of flashback Memory Theater with a deeply damaged Loki. Together (and in increasing horror), these four begin regular gatherings to witness and learn all of the beats of Loki's history from his POV prior to the attack on New York. Loki, holding on by a thread to the mask of rage that's been fueling him, immediately and finally shatters outwards into pieces once these sessions begin.
  • Dream Theater, First Sessions: delving into Loki's childhood, which includes several somewhat horrible stories from common myth; his dynamic with his horrible parents, life in his brother's shadow, friends (lack thereof) and ostracization. Feeling overexposed and UPSET, Loki pauses the sessions. Outside of the dream, Loki furiously admits that both jumps from the Bifrost were indeed attempts to take his own life. Tory resonates heavily with everything he's seen so far, thinking of his own traumatic childhood and realizing why Epi'd insisted he be there. MEANWHILE:
  • In the midst of the current hectic events, on the side Seph ask-tells Tory and Maci to make a room in the palace for one of her topside nymphs, Evanthe. She's a Flower nymph who was sent by Demeter to spy in the Underworld and immediately abandoned her mission out of guilt. Seph has taken pity on her, but there's no space with her and Hades, so: refuge in the Elysian palace it is, pretty please.
  • Evanthe moves into the palace and keeps to herself; she's terrified of Maci, there sure is a lot of frightening chaos and thunder going on in here, and the Underworld is so intimidating! Epi and Eury befriend her, and she spends much of her time in the palace library.
  • Loki and Thor have not stopped fighting since they came to the palace. When Thor accuses Tory of "planting memories" in Loki's head, as surely their youth couldn't have been as bad as he just saw, Tory blows a gasket and knocks Thor down several pegs when he defends Loki in flames. He threatens to kick Thor from the palace for interfering with his therapy, unless what he really wants is for Loki to try to kill himself again, is that it?? Shaken, Thor backs down.
  • Loki, having secretly witnessed this confrontation, approaches Tory with hesitant gratitude and... begins to unwind, a little bit. Tory shows him Flint the griffin kitten (remember?), who immediately becomes extremely attached to Loki... Loki becomes extremely attached to this little scraggly creature in turn.
  • The two of them start to bond over their mutual fucked up pasts and terrible parents and Loki starts to tentatively settle into the palace. He studies up on his Greek mythology and eyeballs the rest of the palace, who are still giving him space.
  • Dream Theater, Second, Third, Fourth Sessions: All back-to-back-to-back. It's all about Loki's children. First, Sleipnir - The Norse myth is less fun from the perspective of Loki, Sleipnir's mother, who was forbidden from keeping him. Then, his next three eldest children: Hela, then Fenris, then Jörmundgandr. The viewing palace watches Loki meet Sigyn, and watches her embrace his three children as they begin a relationship. Distressed, Loki pauses the sessions again, knowing what comes next.
  • Loki returns to having a breakdown. Given the option of stopping all this and just discussing his emotions and the events along with it, he again refuses, but they give him a break before returning to the sessions. Loki uses Flint as an emotional support animal. Tory tries and tries and tries to get him to open up.
  • Loki meets Meli, and withdraws further - she reminds him of his daughter, Hela, which spirals him again, but he soon returns to slowly and tentatively bonding with Tory, even managing to have real, vague, conversations with him about traumatic beats still to come.
  • Loki returns to tentatively crawling out of his shell. Thor tries to bond with Loki the way Tory has been, but is refused. Maci hits on him again and they butt heads, though Loki's decided he's fond enough of Tory now to not, like, kill her.
  • Loki attempts to weasel his way out of continuing any sort of therapy further because he's totally fine now you guys, trust me. Epi and Tory do not fall for this.
  • Dream Theater, Fifth Sessions: the contents of these sessions begin with: Loki living happily ever after with Sigyn, hidden far away from Asgard with his three children, their makeshift family, until eventually Odin discovers their whereabouts and orders Loki to surrender them to his custody. When Loki refuses, they are forcibly taken. Then, before he can lose his mind, he becomes pregnant with Vali and Nari, sons of Sigyn - they move all back to Asgard's palace and integrate the boys, though they're received poorly. In Loki's absence at the time, he had been "replaced" by another shining star, the god Balder. Spiraling at the loss of four children and seething at the way his two youngest are being treated, Loki and Sigyn leave again, but Loki of this past begins to plot - Loki pauses the sessions again.
  • Loki again tries to talk his way out of continuing any of this, but staunchly refuses to actually discuss any of what happens next or how it had affected his psyche. He warns them all that they'll regret watching the next events.
  • Dream Theater, Sixth Sessions: picks up where Loki, Sigyn, Vali and Nari are living on Asgard's outskirts happily ever after, but Loki is consumed with thoughts of revenge, of the loss of Hela, Fen, and Jor. Though Sigyn catches on and warns him that acting out would put their family in danger, Loki is past rational thought, and orchestrates the murder of Balder anyway, per mythological story. No one knows his death was caused by him, except for Sigyn, who fights with him about it afterwards... and Odin, All-Seeing. When Loki and Sigyn return home they open their door to the murdered pieces of their little twins age 10-
  • Epi stops the session.
  • Horrified, and seeing the echoes of their own children reflected in the horrible deaths, Tory, Epi, and Pasi try not to have a collective panic attack (and fail) with Loki already at that point and Thor in absolute shocked horror. Maci whisks Tory away straight to baby Neo once Thor offers to stay with Loki for that night. Privately after, Loki elects to tell Tory, simply outloud and in words, the aftermath following - how he'd enchanted their remains to discover Odin's part in their deaths; how Sigyn turned his back on him to leave; how he'd returned to Asgard numb and with nothing.
  • Loki is a wreck again and shutters himself away in his palace bedroom. Maci and Tory convene with Epi and Eury to brainstorm how to fix any of this in desperation.
  • No one can figure out a way to free Sleipnir, Fen, Jor, or Hela, and Loki urges them not to try and risk decimating the palace here. Though visibly distraught around this timeframe, Loki meets Jesse, and is introduced finally to baby Neo.
  • Maci and Tory decide to try to transfer the shade-ghosts of Vali and Nari from one Underworld to another. Meli, ultra powerful Goddess of Ghosts, figures out the way to do it, she reaches across universes and to petition Loki's daughter Hela to release their ghosts from Niflheim. For her mother's sake, Hela agrees and releases them, but declines an invitation to the palace.
  • Tory returns the shades of Nari and Vali to Loki.
  • Shocked and overcome with gratitude, Loki reunites with them. It is a marked turning point, where it finally clicks that the Elysium palace is a real home for him.
  • Vali and Nari start to integrate into this palace, and Memory Theater sessions pause as Loki cares for them. Loki introduces them to Tory's pet griffin he's become so fond of, and with them also enamored with it, Tory gifts Flint formally to Loki. Meli introduces herself to the twins and they immediately become inseparable friends. The twins meet Alena, who gifts them electronics and shows them how to watch SpongeBob on a laptop.
  • With Loki's mood improving, he and Thor finally, finally, finally make amends.
  • After an incident where Loki kisses Tory solely to annoy Maci, who has been annoying him by still constantly flirting, Loki learns that the rest of the palace has been asked to "give him space." Nonsense! He reconnects with new palace acquaintance Jesse and meets his husband, Laphi - and the three of them quickly fall into bed together, the very first couple to win the honor of hooking up with Loki in the palace.
  • Loki meets Alena and Meno; then, later, finally meets Epi's husband Eury and their freaky mindreading twin infants.
