Loki finds his sticky fingers grabbing onto a bright blue stone set in the center of an intricate silver charm. It's small, but it feels big. Commanding, something special. When he holds it to inspect it closer, he'll feel a sharp pain pricking the center of his palm. There is no blood, but he will find a small blue circle at the base of his palm where it meets his wrist. It doesn't feel bad, and Loki may find himself quickly forgetting it's there entirely. Or maybe it's always been there. Maybe it's an old scar. . .
Regardless, as he continues through his week he'll discover more and more onlookers beginning to trail after him, telling him how much they adore him. Possibly a little too much. Within the next several days, he'll notice others around him wearing homemade replicas of his horned helm, long green coats, with their fingernails painted black. Not only are they doing their best to look as close to him as possible, but they're also getting up to their own brands of mischief. Stores are broken into, all kinds of odd baubles stolen off shelves, such as scented candles (usually some sort of overbearing fruit scent), decorative pillows, and other homegoods. It escalates over a period of a few days: first, a few stores. Loki's garbage will be ransacked and his new followers will steal everything from his discarded coffee cups to nail clippings. Then a bank. Loki's favored coffee shop. Finally: the museum. They'll fight off everyone trying to get in who isn't one of them, barricading doorways and having a few of them with their own metahuman abilities guarding any potential entrance.
Through research, Loki may discover two ways to break the curse: soak the stone in salt water and sage for three days. Not just any old sage either, the real deal. Have fun finding fresh, wild sage, Loki. Once the water turns a soft green, add in nasturtium flower heads, and cover them in the water. Remove the flowers, and feed the petals directly to those affected.
Alternatively, smash the stone (while also getting hit with a hefty fine for stealing and breaking it) and knock out everyone affected. Once they come to, they will have no memory of what had transpired but will have an instinctive dislike of Loki.
