Loki Laufeyson | Marvel 616 (Agent of Asgard flavour)

[realitywarped]

Network

[No preamble, no introduction, just a very important question in plain text. The most important, as far as Loki's concerned.

...It also obscures his identity, a little. At least it gives a range of Lokis it might be, except to the few people who might recognise his texting style.]

So, brave new world, tell me: where is the best place to find a bacon sandwich? :)

Library

[Give Loki access to a library and his first choice is always to see what people have to say about him. Which is why it's a little frustrating that although there's a section for nearly every other mythology he's ever heard of, and a few he hasn't, the section under N remains firmly free of much at all. He frowns at the shelf, fingers brushing the spines of the book, but nope; of the ones he knows of, he can find the Mayans and the Olmecs, and nothing else familiar at all in between. He addresses the air, apparently half-smiling, although his lips are a little tight.]

If this is a practical joke, you should know I'm much better at them. We're much more interesting than a few petty and long-dead tinpot dictators with silly names.

[choosetruth]

[Georgia is a little too firmly based in facts to spend much time reading mythology, but she has found it useful to brush up on her Alice in Wonderland at least. Which is what she's doing right now, while taking extensive notes. Or would be, if some asshole wasn't mumbling to himself.

She looks up and glares through her sunglasses.]

You know, this is a library. That means keep the talking to a minimum? Some of us are trying to read.

[realitywarped]

If you cared about silence, find somewhere more private.

[Ordinarily, Loki would be in agreement, if anyone else was talking. But as he's having a little tiny bit of an identity crisis, and he's been kidnapped, and he can't get out... he's not in the best of moods. He sniffs, arms crossed, giving her the best unimpressed look he can summon.]

I'm surprised you can read at all. Sunglasses are for outside.

[choosetruth]

I have Retinal Kellis-Amberlee, fuckwit.

[She tilts her head up and scowls. She realizes that Kellis-Amberlee isn't a thing everywhere, but it's not like it's that hard to guess that if someone's wearing sunglasses inside, it's probably for a reason. But just in case that wasn't clear enough....]

It's a medical condition that makes my eyes extremely sensitive to light.

[realitywarped]

Did it also steal your understanding of manners?

[And perhaps the ability to not call him names. It wasn't even a terribly creative name, either. He forces his expression to blandness, tone to something more conversational. If he's going to be yelled at, he might as well be as irritating about it as possible.]

But I do apologise for having a private conversation with myself so unfortunately overheard.

[choosetruth]

I have a great understanding of manners. The rules of manners are like the rules of grammar. Anyone can break them, but you have to understand them thoroughly to break them effectively.

[His trick would work better on someone not so schooled in the art of the poker face herself. The sunglasses help, of course, but the rest of her expression is fairly unmoving.]

You're in a public place, you realize. Have you considered having your private conversation with yourself somewhere other people can't overhear? Like in your brain?

[realitywarped]

I don't think calling people a generic insult is usually considered terribly effective.

[He makes a slightly dismissive "you know" gesture, hand held palm up. He's actually starting to enjoy himself a little, but there's no point quitting just yet.]

Have you considered taking your highly important research somewhere less public? Then you might be less upset by other people also using the space.

[As she pointed out, it is a public place. He has as much right to be there as she does.]

[choosetruth]

I didn't find you worth the effort to come up with something more creative. [It's not like making fun of her sunglasses is unusual.]

Because my highly important research needs books, and libraries are quiet public spaces. Surely someone as manners-conscious as you knows that.

[She crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow behind her sunglasses.] What were you muttering about anyway? Singing the alphabet song under your breath to help you find something?

[realitywarped]

[He's crushed. Really.]

I was making far less noise than you are now. If you hadn't felt the need to engage, you'd have had your quiet much sooner.

[You know. He wasn't yelling at someone for one off-hand comment.]

I was attempting some research of my own, but this library appears to believe my topic of interest doesn't exist. Which is rather unusual, given that I clearly do.

[choosetruth]

[Well, you got her. She enjoys arguing as much as she enjoys research. But she doesn't need to acknowledge that when she can give him a disdainful look through her sunglasses and press him for more details. That's an interesting statement to make.]

You were researching yourself?

[realitywarped]

[He's noticing the lack of argument, though, trust him. He smiles back blandly at that look, eyelids slightly closed. He's had worse looks.]

Myself, my family- yes. Why, never met a myth before?

[choosetruth]

A myth. [Her tone is dry and skeptical. She's been in Wonderland for long enough that the possibility should be easy to accept by now. She's glad it isn't.]

I've met plenty who claimed they deserved that designation. All of them failed to impress.

[realitywarped]

I don't claim, and I don't see the need to prove it, either. I know who I am.

[He tilts his head, raising one eyebrow.]

Besides, I doubt anything much would impress someone already convinced otherwise, no matter how miraculous I made it.

[choosetruth]

Try me.

[She lowers her sunglasses down her nose so she can look out over them with her creepy, dead-looking eyes. The light stings, as it always does when it enters her permanently fully dilated pupils, but it's not bright enough to really burn, and it's worth it, sometimes, to make a point.]

I'm a skeptic, not an idiot. And you still haven't told me who you are, Mr. Myth.

[realitywarped]

[That's a little creepy, but hey, deal with the Disir and after that almost everyone looks normal. He just smirks, a sharp expression that maybe looks a little old for the rest of Loki.]

I didn't, but you didn't wait for introductions, either. Loki, Norse god of mischief, mostly.

[But not Evil, and he's pretty happy about that these days. Sadly, so many of his abilities aren't really for display purposes- and so many of the rest are indistinguishable from things mortal magicians do all the time to wow crowds. Besides, he tries not to use them for nothing.

He can shapeshift easily enough, though, and after a moment he does, still talking casually despite taking on the head of a fox.]

Alas, I seem to have left my ID in my other coat, and I've never had a birth certificate.

[choosetruth]

[She shoves her sunglasses back into place to hide her surprise. Well then. He's clearly got powers, though she's not sure she buys the god thing.]

Georgia Mason. Head of the Factual News division of After the End Times. [She puts a little more emphasis on the word factual than strictly necessary.] I've never been much of a mythology buff, but doesn't that make you also the god of lies?

[realitywarped]

Loki Lie-Smith, yes.

[Not that he likes that title particularly, but it's one of the few people have heard of. Still better than some of the other things he used to be called, too.]

Do you have an Non-factual News division, as well? I can't see a reason to specify the Factual part of your title otherwise.
