Look, I understand your wish to have a bit of fun but I don't believe turning me into a horse is even remotely clever. Have you even stopped to consider what consequences that will have for you, writing boring responses full of neighs and nothing else? Oh, yes, how terribly intellectual of you. Here I thought you wished for a challenge.

That's not a challenge, don't consider it as such.

Well, my mun could always send Rapunzel your way. I think she understands horses or something like that.

[trickstering]

"Understands"? Does she communicate with them, then?

[oh god Rapunzel and Loki...]

[6collegecredits]

She doesn't like talk like a horse or anything but she gets the gist what what they're trying to say.

[clearly the best idea, right?]

[trickstering]

Interesting.

[the best idea.]

Can she do that with all animals or just horses?

[6collegecredits]

Considering her status as a Disney Princess, I'd say all animals.

[spiderhorse]

[THEN CLEARLY HE WAS BROUGHT TO THIS PLACE LAST NIGHT FOR A REASON]

[trickstering]

What is a Disney Princess?

[trickstering]

You understand, don't you?

[spiderhorse]

[Neigh neigh neigh nay.

The eight-legged horse extends his neck and shakes his mane out, exhaling harshly as he does so. Eight legs shuffle about almost nervously before he moves to come closer to another one of his DadMomMomDads, black eye taking him in curiously.

His tail flicks over grey flanks. What's he supposed to understand here, DaddyMama?]

[6collegecredits]

[She has to explain everything doesn't she?]

Disney is a company here on Earth that makes family friendly films, usually based on fairy tales and princess stories like Rapunzel.

Oh. I should probably mention Disney owns us, too.

[trickstering]

[Loki holds out his hand, a gesture that Sleipnir is welcome to come closer if he wishes.]

Not being able to use words to communicate...it seems a difficult thing. Perhaps you are accustomed to it, but with all of those that I know it would seem very difficult to have any sort of conversation.

[It's cool, Loki will just continue to use enough words for both of them.]

[trickstering]

Don't be ridiculous, no one owns us, Darcy.

[spiderhorse]

[Oh, the steed of the Allfather has no fear, so there is no hesitation in that regard in him approaching the talking Trickster. Hesitation about seeing his parent after all this time, certainly, but there's definitely no fear in those black eyes. With his sharp, rune-carved teeth showing as they are, it'd be hard to imagine such a horse ever afraid of much of anything.

He presses a pink and grey nose into that hand, a pinker tongue coming out to slobber over it.

There are ways, if you are intent, parent.]

[trickstering]

[Slobber aside, he smiles a little.]

So there are, but I am not certain about how she wishes to handle this. Were it my choice, it would be a simple remedy.

[spiderhorse]

[The best horse in all worlds has the best slobber ever, it's why he can get away with these things.

He pulls back slightly at his words, though, moving about as though he may sneeze.

What simple remedy?]

[trickstering]

[No horsechild no just keep saying pineapple and it won't happen

pineapple pineapple pineapple pineapple, etc.]

Magic, of course. Or as you are now. It wouldn't matter how it worked out, ultimately, there are a number ways to go about it, but she keeps insisting that a horse is a horse and that magic is cheating.

Strategy, I tell her, is not cheating, but that she hardly listens to.

[6collegecredits]

You're really going to do the whole rebellious muse thing, aren't you?

[trickstering]

It isn't about being rebellious for the sake of rebellion.

[spiderhorse]

[Is it an undersea pineapple or...

Aha, the magic thing. Ah, yes, his DadMomMomDad and magic. So complicated and yet so simple at the same time, isn't it?

You have found yourself a new mate besides your fair Sigyn?]

[trickstering]

[No it's just an anti-sneezing wives' tale.]

No, no, she's not my -- the woman I'm referring to is my mun. The whole reason we're at ridiculous place with the viruses, anyway. If it weren't for her, I could continue on with the things I need to take care of.

[spiderhorse]

[He has awesome horse snot though IT SHOULD BE ALL OVER YOUR NECK LOKI IT WOULD BE A GREAT HONOR.

I did not mean your mun.

A pause as he thinks of how to phrase this, chomping his jaws slightly.

Why else would you take on the guise of a horse if not because you had found another in that form you wished to be with?

...oh dear.]

[trickstering]

It isn't about want. [calculatedly, how is he supposed to reply to something like that.] And it certainly is not going to end with being with anyone.

The network has these...viruses that affect its members. Thus, the change would not even be of my magic, but rather as a result of the network's influence. It is really only a great hassle.

[spiderhorse]

[Poor god of mischief, to be hassled so. He shakes his head and lets out what can only be a heavy sigh.

And I am supposed to understand what about this?]

[trickstering]

The whole [vague hand gesture] being a horse thing.

[spiderhorse]

[Can horses give flat looks? They certainly can!

I have never been anything other than a horse, however.

So...he really can't understand being a horse when he'd rather not because he's always been a horse. Whoa.]
