[If you recognize those horns, you might begin to grasp that you're in a wee bit of trouble.]

Oh, but I remember this place. Only let us put away childish things, City, I am as I will ever be, Loki. If, for some, the name rings sour, that is hardly my own fault and I would object to being judged on the failings of others.

I shall wait the required day or so to ensure this is no passing fancy of the City's to see me pay visit and then commence with a far more coherent showing of how to strike down false gods, should this brief visit become an unwelcome invitation to remain longer.

And I am Hela, she whom I was created to serve, thanks to you.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

You are ever welcome.

[friggmagnet]

...

Fuck.

[doeswhathewants]

Such a greeting, Odin. Are you not well pleased to meet me again?

[friggmagnet]

[Lokis talking vaguely militaristic rhetoric he doesn't full understand has never worked out well for Axl.]


You seem on edge, bro.

[doeswhathewants]

I've lost the youthful joy of being taken places I've not myself willed to go.

[He still has a vague fondness for you, Axl.]

[friggmagnet]

I'm not such a fan of it either, man. Just like, wait til you come down or whatever.

[doeswhathewants]

Wait until I come down from where? [Nope. Still doesn't grasp your Kiwi slang.]

[friggmagnet]

Never mind. I just think you might be kind of on edge, bro.

[doeswhathewants]

Whatever makes you say that?

[yourbestguysgun]

You again?

[doeswhathewants]

The chains of fate still bind you to this place? Tsk. No moving forward, how ...stagnant.

[infernoandhearth]

Clever hat. Do you fight for dominance with it? How do you make the other person wear a similar hat?

[doeswhathewants]

Luke. No need to suffer from horn envy.

Permavideo

[yourbestguysgun]

Well, it sure likes bringing you back.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

That is one thing this City has going for it; good taste.

[infernoandhearth]

If I were suffering, I'd grow myself a pair.

[doeswhathewants]

There's a joke in there, I hope you realize. American slang. I would tell you but it's much funnier this way.

Has this place reclaimed you as well?

[infernoandhearth]

I haven't really the inclination to lock horns with you, Loki. I'm sure the dual meaning would apply, had I felt the need.

I never left.

So. Did evil come with age? All I can see that came with age is age, but I suppose you might have a different take.

I suppose in a way, you were my father after all, in that you set in motion my creation.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Ugh. Leah. Gross. I in no way think of you as a daughter.

[doeswhathewants]

Not at all? How stagnant. I imagine you dislike the inability to come and go as you please?

Oh Luke, you and I both know there is no good and evil, only shades of gray. I am not evil, I am not good, I am Loki.

[infernoandhearth]

I don't mind it particularly. I might mind if the City had begun to bore me, but a little respite from my relations is nothing to scoff at.

Of course I know. You weren't sure, when you were younger.

Permavideo

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah, sure.

[ A hum. ] You're usually the kid, ain't you? There's two of you.

Re: Permavideo

And I in No way think of you as anything but an annoying prat.
