re: his mun's choices in entertainment

[agreatpatsy]

All these Agents of SHIELD crawling out of the woodwork now and you think Loki is the best guy to throw at them? I get that you're one of those really weird fangirls but what about me? I understand that they won't exactly be looking at me as a friend or ally, but at least I'm not an alien whackjob bent on creeping them the hell out.

Besides, you can always introduce them to that AU you never fully explored like you had said you wanted. I bet they'll go for that a lot better than his if you ever got up the nerve to reveal it.

Whatever. I know you'll just do what you want in the end.

Your mun has some... idiosyncratic ideas. I'm pretty sure you're used to it at this point.

[agreatpatsy]

Sure, but that doesn't make them any less odd.

[sonofcoul]

True, it doesn't. I'm sure you'll manage to persevere, though.

[agreatpatsy]

Not like I have any choice in the matter. I'll try to make the best of it. Training 101, right?

[sonofcoul]

Exactly. Three cheers for flexibility.

[skulland]

You want SHIELD as an ally?

[agreatpatsy]

Let's face it, the good guys always win even when outnumbered.

[skulland]

With an attitude like that, no shit.

[agreatpatsy]

You want an honest answer? No matter where my loyalties lie, I always end up dead. But at least when I'm with SHIELD I come off more like a hero than a bug on a grill.

[skulland]

And that's what matters to you? Not whether you're doing something you believe in, but what other people think when they look at you?

[agreatpatsy]

You're right. I unequivocally believed in Hydra's goals. It got me on the kill-list. That aside, it's just not what the player wants out of me. And it's not what the player saw in me all those years before.

So. I get to play good guy now. And there's just as many good things to believe in doing on that side. Plus, I get better friends than psychopaths.

[skulland]

If it doesn't turn you into collateral damage, let me know how that works out for you. Playing the hero this time around.

Word of advice? Keep your eyes on Fury. That guy is a psychopath. Just dresses it up better than Pierce did.

[agreatpatsy]

Sure, I'll let you know.

[anecdoting]

Why's it always SHIELD or HYDRA with you people? Used to be there was a third option, with money, and fewer consequences.

[agreatpatsy]

Once an agent, always an agent? [He shrugs.]

[anecdoting]

Yeah. So I see. Anyway, you're not the first to say it.

[agreatpatsy]

And won't be the last.

[wolfintheherd]

Bent alien whackjob?

[agreatpatsy]

[A slight frown.] That too if you prefer the short version.

[wolfintheherd]

[Ward is basically paying for every SHIELD agent that ever defected. Ever.

This hasn't escaped him]

What do you know? Or what do you think you know?

[And what by proxy does HYDRA know? He draws in a breath, trying to keep cool.] They won't trust an Asgardian but you...

[agreatpatsy]

What do I know about what? You're not exactly [making sense] saying much.

[wolfintheherd]

[Ward relaxes visibly. HYDRA didn't know about Garrett. Or Skye.] ...Nothing.

I'm sorry, I've spent too long in a box.

[agreatpatsy]

You do realize I was talking about Loki the entire time, right?

[And that he's not associated with Hydra anymore though that's more of a...he's dead and they killed him so even if he wasn't he'd be having to hide from them, probably, kind of deal.]

[wolfintheherd]

......Right.

[not skye. or phil. deep breath Ward. And come on, do people ever really really leave HYDRA?]

[tricksandmischief]

Did somebody mention my name?

[agreatpatsy]

Not to be mistaken for a summons or anything.

[tricksandmischief]

And yet, here I am.

[agreatpatsy]

Great.

[tricksandmischief]

Your enthusiasm is most overwhelming.

[agreatpatsy]

Oh, yeah. I love having psychopathic company. Kinda makes me feel at home, you know, considering all the psychos already in this headspace over here.

[tricksandmischief]

I should be insulted, calling me such names.

[agreatpatsy]

And yet we both know it's true.

[tricksandmischief]

[Loki narrows his eyes.]

I have purpose and reasons for what I do. I am not psychopathic.

[agreatpatsy]

All right, sociopathic. You still don't get along well with others and your purpose and reasons suck for everyone involved. [You're still a psychopath even if you're smart, Loki.]

[tricksandmischief]

What makes you think that you know me?

[agreatpatsy]

I don't. I know the type. I know what you've done in recent events. And none of it very fun for Earth.

[tricksandmischief]

One little incident...

[agreatpatsy]

That's how it goes.

[tricksandmischief]

And I am not a type. I am a god and I am unique and I am not like any other you have known or ever will know.

[agreatpatsy]

Yeah, you're pretty special all right.

[tricksandmischief]

I will take that as differently than how you mean it.

[agreatpatsy]

Good for you.
