Mun just finished Agent of Asgard [possibly AoA spoilers in comments]

[tricksandmischief]

Well...

That was... something.

[afterlaborday]

What's wrong? You get nerfed?

[tricksandmischief]

It was not my story.

Not technically, anyway. I have many different lives floating around the multiverse, as this well proved.

[afterlaborday]

[tares at his amused mun.... Ignores her]

Then why the unamused look before?

[tricksandmischief]

Perhaps I do take it a little personally... Especially when these other versions have accused me of certain acts of villainy in the past - some on this very community.

Their ire may make sense, but not directed towards myself.

[afterlaborday]

In other words, you're fine being blamed for what you do, but not others who may have the same name? The other Lokis, as if were?

[tricksandmischief]

Would you want to be blamed for everyone who has your name?

Or even your father's sins, your namesake in that regard?

You are your father as much as I am any other Loki.

[afterlaborday]

Touché.

But no, I don't blame you one bit. A man should be a force of his own, no one else.

[tricksandmischief]

Indeed.

However, this does explain the accusations. Even if they are a case of mistaken identity.

[afterlaborday]

At least that is useful information to have. So much can be done with it. [Smirks]

[tricksandmischief]

Information can always be of use, yes.

[afterlaborday]

Good luck with it then. And the being mis-identified.

[tricksandmischief]

Most kind of you.

[hatesundead]

Please, do tell. Was it a good something or a bad something?

[tricksandmischief]

A little of both, perhaps.

[hatesundead]

Well, now I'm curious. [There's something about how he says it that hints at a youthfulness his face doesn't fully show. Especially with that grin. That's a boy's grin, not a man's.] What was it, anyway?

[tricksandmischief]

Merely some tales of my other lives, often confused with my own.

[hatesundead]

Your... other lives? But you do not look like a samsaran...

[tricksandmischief]

This place is a gateway between all the different universes. These stories were told about others with my name who are not actually myself.

Some, though, have accused me of their crimes.

[hatesundead]

Different universes? You mean other planes? [No one's explained the idea of alternate universes to him yet.]

So they think you are someone else.

[tricksandmischief]

Other dimensions or whatever you wish to call them.

I have been mistaken for others, yes. Others with the same name and possibly some of the same history or... traits. But we are different.

[hatesundead]

How can another have your history? The same history or the same traits would make sense but I do not understand how someone else can have your history.

[tricksandmischief]

I am a god. Let us just say that myths spring up when my name is mentioned. Not all are the truth.

Or, more technically, they are not my truth.

Again, it comes down to different dimensions and, so, different paths taken.

[hatesundead]

You're a god?! [Cue massive excitement and curiosity.] Of what? Why are you on the Material Plane? Have you met Pharasma? Or Asmodeus? Is he really as bad as everyone says?

But people don't really change between planes. At least not when they're summoned.

[tricksandmischief]

I am most often known at the God of Mischief.

And I am afraid that I am unfamiliar with those names.

I visit here from time to time, when I am not busy elsewhere.

[hatesundead]

Mischief. Like trickery. [He grins.] That sounds like fun.

Pharasma is the goddess of death and rebirth. Asmodeus is the god-fiend. But... He's also my father even if I've never met him. [And he'd really like to be able to say that there's some piece of where he comes from that's not completely evil. Maybe people wouldn't be as afraid of him.]

What are the other planes like?

[tricksandmischief]

Are you claiming to be a demigod?

It is impossible to answer that question, since there are so many variations. If you imagine what a world could be, there is likely to be some place like that out there.

[hatesundead]

A godling, not a demigod. My father's immortal, not me.

Which planes have you seen?

[tricksandmischief]

Cities where the material world can be manipulated with a thought. Prisons hurtling through space, offering redemption. There are many, as I have said.

This dimension being one of the strangest. Here you may meet yourself many times.

[hatesundead]

Cities of psionics? Prisons in space? But prisons are not for redemption that I have ever heard.

That would be fun. I wonder if there's a me who's only a godling somewhere.

[tricksandmischief]

There are many contradictions in the multiverse.

It can be fun - at certain times.

[hatesundead]

Like dhampirs.

I guess it might be as good as Golarion, then. Except Papa's not here.

[tricksandmischief]

So, tell me more about your world.

[hatesundead]

What part of it? I haven't been too far from the Inner Sea.

We call it Golarion. There a lot of humans but there us anow Elven country. A lot of people use magic and there are a lot more races than just humans and elves.
