[ i - for your au needs ]

[ A Loki that fell to Earth is a Loki that still enjoying living. Earth gave him opportunities to step away from Thor's shadow and be his own person. True, he wasn't much of a prince or a god as he drifts among mere mortals without a blink of an eye, but it is preferable to the treatment of the Nine Realms. When he awoke, changed by the chalice, Loki was smart enough not to panic even as the doubts crept in. Instead, he devoted himself to the work. He weaved in and out of the Gramayre Institute, the Communal Housing and wanders around Riverview. His manner is polite if not a little distant. His clothes range towards more casual shirts and slacks, and his hair is much shorter.

You might also spot him sitting near the fountain, casting small illusions for the group of children nearby, of green dragons and golden heroes or at the market, eyeing their selection of jeweled daggers. ]

[ ii - can you feel the love tonight? ]

[ Loki can deflect magic and bullets with ease. His physical prowess is nothing to scoff at, despite his slighter frame. So when the repellent drifts over, Loki was certainly not prepared to fight the very air itself. By the time he realized what had happened, it was too late. He had inhaled it too sharply and felt his limbs loosen. The tension that's always hung over him like a heavy aura has all but dissipated and Loki is all twinkling smiles and calm demeanor. You might have bumped into him accidentally as he stands there and he turns, contrite. ]

My apologies.

[ Loki nods in understanding. ]

Second hand knowledge from the enemy makes it hard to tell what is real and what isn't. But I do not think they are all natural-born liars.

[ That's just Loki. ]

[spellslots]

We did a tit for tat kinda trade, which I'm still not fucking pleased about, since it fucked us over, but maybe what we found out will be useful at some point.

[Over half a century later and he hasn't gotten over how much info Merle gave away.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Ah. Loki makes a noncommittal sound at that, showing his sympathy. There's still a wideness to his eyes, an openness that Loki doesn't display normally. He presses his palms against his thighs, smoothing the fabric over. ]

Knowing the enemy can always prove useful. I've always found the who more valuable than the what.

[spellslots]

You know what, if that's the case, I think Merle did a half-decent job.

[He managed to almost humanize John, as much as a horror terror entity can be humanised.]

I'd still be happier if we knew how to just blow it up, though. That'd be way more satisfying.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He shrugs. The same could be said for him. ]

Of course. Defeating the monster at the end of the story is always an accomplishment. A happy ending.

[spellslots]

Does it ever really work like that?

[Maybe on the small scale, in the day to day, but Taako isn't sure if the universe really works like that.]

[dothelokimotion]

I have yet to see otherwise.

[ His smile is faint. ] Evil can only take you so far.

[spellslots]

Is that coming from experience?

[It... doesn't really occur to him that this might be unfair, asking questions of this different version of Loki, because while he seems a little more open, Taako doesn't expect there to be huge difference.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He shrugs loosely. ]

I suppose. I come from a race of monsters and was raised to believe otherwise. Sometimes, nature is intrinsic.

[spellslots]

[If Taako came from a more traditional D&D world, he might find that easier to believe, but he doesn't.]

Nothing sentient is born a monster.

[dothelokimotion]

There's always the first. After all, your "monster" is different from the rest, is he not?

[spellslots]

He was a human dude with delusions of grandeur, that doesn't mean all humans are monsters.

[He even likes some humans!]

[dothelokimotion]

You left out that detail.

[ A human. Who knew they possessed that power. ]

[spellslots]

It didn't seem important?

[The person that John was before he was the Hunger isn't that interesting to Taako. But it also comes back to what they already discussed, about sources of information.]

But that's also what he told us, so who the fuck knows.

[dothelokimotion]

I would say it is very interesting.

[ He drums his fingers lightly against the table. ]

You cannot wholly change and shed all weaknesses. Being human is a weakness in itself. One that can be utilized.

[spellslots]

[A little harsh, maybe, but Taako can see the logic because humans can die, like most things.]

If we ever find the guy in all the horror-terror bullshit, I'll be sure to remember that. It'd be real satisfying to kill him.

[dothelokimotion]

Perhaps your friend knew what he was doing after all. He cannot strip away all sentiment. It is not in their nature.

[spellslots]

[Taako makes such a face.]

I am literally never going to tell him that, he'd be insufferable. I'd rather just let the apocalypse.

[dothelokimotion]

[ His aloof expression cracks slightly at that. It's such a . . . Loki thing to say. ]

Thankfully, he does not need to know now, does he?

[spellslots]

I'm not gonna spill, and I will totally kill you if Merle ever shows up and you tell him.

[He is fully aware of the ridiculousness of saying that to Loki.]

[dothelokimotion]

I wouldn't dream to spoil a secret.

[ Read: he totally would, but it depends. ]

[spellslots]

[Taako can't help but raise an eyebrow; Loki is way too much like him for that to be true.]

Not unless it'd be fun to, right?

[dothelokimotion]

What can I say? I have my weaknesses too.

[spellslots]

[That earns a chuckle.]

Hey, everyone's gotta get their kicks somehow, right?

[dothelokimotion]

I fail to see how kicking is involved but I assume the answer is yes.
