[Just one scientist, getting a record for future reference and analysis.]
Perhaps I like your older self more than I thought. He seems complicated.
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.

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.

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.

It must have been. Change is important for Lokis.
The horns are good. Did he use them for an Asgardian version of jǐao dǐ?

I do not think I want to know what he actually did with those horns, to be honest. He had some odd predilections , I am told.
Change is important, I agree with that. And without his need for it- my need for it- I'd not be here like this.

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

My doing, entirely, tricky little thing.
But how did you know-

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

[Luke is laughing a lot, though he can't be seen.]
Oh, but that only makes me want to know more.
Then it's good he did something about it.

If he ever arrives, ask him. You might wish you had not.
Yes. Lokis do as they please and now I am here and all is well.
Yes. Lokis do as they please and now I am here and all is well.
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?

Oh, you noticed my hair, hm? [Just the biggest grin.]
Ah, well, I am not sure. I think you already like me as we are and you had no qualms about sticking your pointy knee in delicate, tender places. Were you any more infatuated, I might fear for my life.

I was rather unsubtle, wasn't I? As for the you I have now.... well, perhaps it's best not to reveal too much about the future. Besides, what of the mortal girl here? Molly? Cindy? Do not think I was blind to your affections for her.
Are you jealous, Leah? Ooh. I rather think I like that. [He is a terrible little thing.]
So. You are older and trapped here for however long. Let's do something fun.

I rarely regret asking. If it's really gruesome, I'll feel obliged to tell you.
All is better. We did establish you were the best of the two.

I was once. Much time has passed.
What did you have in mind?
What did you have in mind?
In detail? With hand gestures?
Yes. We did. Pity the other isn't here, we, together, might have convinced him that chaos is better than what he was up to.

Much time and my fairly moving the nine for your sake, hm? Because if you are older, that means you lived and one of the twisted plans I'm considering actually worked.
Good. There is no point in a world without you in it.
I am not entirely sure, but there is a lot to do.

That's not Leah. That's my evil former self.
Magpies are just sort of a ... theme.

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