[ooc: JiM panels, Loki meets the shadow of his evil older self and turns him into a magpie. Some of these are weirdly cropped. Sorry.]

Perhaps I like your older self more than I thought. He seems complicated.

private/text;

[doeswhathewants]

He was overly dramatic and erred on the side of chaotic evil.

But. He was complicated. Though you ought to like me better than him, or you'll put me in a pique.

private/text;

[infernoandhearth]

Of course I like you better than him. Making one choice, evil and good, is always much more dull than doing whatever is most interesting. Besides, I know you, don't I?

I did notice the dramatic thing. I think it's funny.

private/text;

[doeswhathewants]

Most interesting and most fun, even if it contradicts what one wanted merely moments before. I think that is why he stagnated. Got in a rut. Worked out for me, though.

I admit to liking the horns.

private/text;

[infernoandhearth]

It must have been. Change is important for Lokis.

The horns are good. Did he use them for an Asgardian version of jǐao dǐ?

[savedfromstory]

Is that how the old bird came to be. I had wondered...

[ Leah's still disoriented at having appeared back in the City. ]

My doing, entirely, tricky little thing.

But how did you know-

[doeswhathewants]

Leah?

Leah.

You. Well, you certainly age well.

[savedfromstory]

Yes, little Loki, it is me. Not sure how I came to be back here. And why are you yet so little?

[doeswhathewants]

Because you are from the future. And by the future, I mean the weird weekend where people age or regress or change genders, etc, at the whim of the City Gods.

But while we are on the subject... do I have an awesome outfit when I am older? Do you ... find me attractive?

[savedfromstory]

Ah yes. Such as the time you were older when I was a bird.

[ She outright laughs. ] Your clothes are much the same. Green, black, and gold. You no longer wear that silly hood which messes up your hair underneath.

...Why? Do you wish me to find you attractive?

[studmuffin]

Leah makes one creepy dude.

[doeswhathewants]

That's not Leah. That's my evil former self.

Magpies are just sort of a ... theme.

[studmuffin]

Do you guys go around picking up anything shiny? Not that I'm going to judge or anything. But the bird thing? Kinda weird.

[doeswhathewants]

Shiny artifacts of power? Yes. You could say that.

More weird than anything else you've seen here? [Skeptical.]

[studmuffin]

[ His best friend turns into a werewolf every time something mildly stressful happens and yet, birds? Still weird. ]

What kind of shiny artifacts?

[harrydresden]

At least I'm not the only one having a weird day. He's not wrong about the power thing.

[doeswhathewants]

I have no intentions of his power. Everything I get, I intend to gain on my own.

[harrydresden]

With him whispering in your ear?

You don't think he got the power on his own?

[doeswhathewants]

He's a magpie now. He doesn't whisper so much as ... squawks.

I think he did not have the things I have that I intend to protect.

I always knew reading and punctuation had their uses.

[doeswhathewants]

Then you are two steps ahead of my brother.

Private

[worldofourown]

Is he mentally impaired?

Private

[doeswhathewants]

He solves most problems with his fists.
