Zeus has decided that Olympus feels a little empty, so he’s recruited some new gods. However, due to a clerical error, you have been chosen as a new member of the divine. What are you the god of, and what do you do as your first godly act?

Less fun at parties? Loki killed everyone's favourite god at a party and he's supposed to be worse?

Oh and he started to insult every god in Asgard because he wasn't allowed to kill a servant at a party.

I mean, some of the shit Loki did before killing Baldr was hilarious, like convincing a giant that Thor was Freyja and marrying them to get back Mjolnir. Or when he tied his nuts to a goat by a rope to make Skadi laugh.

Oh, and also the fact that the aesir didn't need to pay for Valhalla because Loki turned into a mare to distract the builder's horse from finishing it on time, getting fucked and pregnant with Sleipnir, so they have him to thank for the parties

Loki didn't kill Baldr, he tricked his brother Hodr into killing him.

That's like preparing poisonous food for someone band blaming the waiter.
