Over the next few days, Loki pondered how to make use of his knowledge. He knew his goal was to make as many people happy as possible. How do I do that though? he thought as he paced his hotel room, How to reach as many people as possible? When his eyes fell on the television, he found his answer. He had examined it on his first day and discovered that it magically brought moving pictures to its viewer, like a scrying device. He remembered how the two happiest people he had met both had connections to it. The clerk had been watching a device like the television in the clothing shop, and the 'Sherlock' girl had mentioned her favorite show, which Loki learned was distributed through the television. Fame... Loki thought, Fame is how I can impact people, and I can use this device to reach them.

He fashioned himself a new identity, a new appearance. He changed his sleek, black hair to the complete opposite: blonde curls. He changed his eye color from green to blue. Just for good measure, he added some stubble to his chin. Now he just needed a name. He learned that it was common on Midgard for people to have three names. The first he took from a book, the second from the old man in the park, and the third from the local newspaper.

Thomas. William. Hiddleston.


And that, boys and girls, is why Tom Hiddleston is the perfect bastard that he is today!
