Oops, look who reared her ugly head.

[demi_mort]

You know who you should pay attention to more? Me.

It's alright if you don't. I'm used to sitting there all alone. With no one to talk to. For long, long periods of time.

...I just miss my brothers, okay?

Comments

[worldserpent]

I m-miss.. you and. You.. and.. Fenrir, too.

[demi_mort]

[Screw you and your stupid snakey face, you're getting a hug right now.

And talking into your neck, too, even though it sounds muffled and stupid.]

One day, I know we'll all find a place to be together. I don't care what my mun says.

[worldserpent]

[ he's super awkward and confused for about two seconds before he remembers that o h right this is a hug. slowly, a little jerkily, his own arms lift, curling around her and then tightening to make it a proper one. despite the fact that hel is queen of the dead, she's still warmer than jormungand, which is something he appreciates a great deal, nuzzling into her hair. ]

I.. I would-- [ a small noise as he sorts out speech again. ] Like? That. Like that. All of us, and.. father.

[demi_mort]

[Jormungand hugs are the best hugs. Might be something to do with being a snake or something.]

I would be okay with just us. Think about it. Father and Fenrir? We'd never sleep.

[worldserpent]

[ he pulls back enough to blink at her, and though his expression doesn't change, there's something in the solemn, serpentine gaze that seems a little amused at the notion. ]

Ah-- Perhaps.. they could.. distract one another?

[fotlenke]

[holy cow, wow.]

Little Hela?

[demi_mort]

I...think so?

[She's obviously not so little, and no one really calls her Hela anymore. She was both once, but that was a long time ago.

She looks a little closer at the girl. She looks weirdly familiar.]

Do I know you?

[fotlenke]

Ah. No. I think not, little Hela.

[A moment.]

I am Sigyn Freyasdotter of the Vanir. I am an acquaintance of your father.

[demi_mort]

[reogjdfjsd;g;jsd what? Little step-mother, what the Hel?]

Little more than an acquaintance, I'd say.

[fotlenke]

Really? I had not noticed. I have met your father various times, but barring annoying and captivating, I think he have not any further considerations towards me.

[vanagandr]

Of course you do. [ He misses you too, Hel. ]

[demi_mort]

It's hard not to miss you, really. You're the best pillow anyone could ask for.

[You don't get a hug. You get a little poke in the forehead.]

[vanagandr]

[ That's okay, that just means he can lick her hand. Mmm, wolf spit. ]

I'll take that as a compliment and not a comment about my weight.

[demi_mort]

[EW EW EW. Wiping that off on your back, thanks.]

No, you're just soft and warm. But now that you mention it, the extra padding doesn't hurt.

[vanagandr]

[ Heeheehee. ]

Thanks a lot. [ Nudging you, baby sister. ] Maybe I can work it off, if we find a place to go.

[skytraveler]

[Good gods, his kids are just popping out of the woodwork.]

You've got the dead. They're not exactly chatty but they're better than nothing. You're better off than your brothers, at least.

[demi_mort]

[Well, maybe if you didn't have so many, you wouldn't be having this problem father.]

You know running an entire realm of death and darkness isn't exactly better, right? It's just a different kind of terrible.

[skytraveler]

[It's true: Loki is the Duggar family of the Norse cosmos.]

No, I think it's better. Who knows, you might get live visitors every now and then? And at least you can walk about. That makes you better off than at least one of your brothers.

[worldserpent]

She is.. not.. a monster, Father. Not like Fenrir and I. She'sss.. alo-- Lone..ly? Lonely.

[skytraveler]

Good gods, this is not my day. You're not a monster, Jorgy, you're just a bit different. It's just that your 'bit different' is being a giant snake. And anyway, your sister's half dead, I'm not entirely sure how that removes her from the "monster" category.

[demi_mort]

I only get live visitors when they want to take advantage of me and my position. There are never any friendly visits, ever.

[Not even from family.]

Even the pretty one stopped talking after a while.

[And she had such high hopes for Baldur, too.]

[skytraveler]

Well, I'll...I don't know, boot somebody else down to keep you company or something. That sounds good, won't it? Maybe Bragi, he's already old as dirt.

[vanagandr]

[ LOVE YOU TOO, DAD. ]

[skytraveler]

[ LOOK, IT'S NOT HIS FAULT YOU GREW UP TO BE A GIANT HAND-EATING WOLF INSTEAD OF A CUTE LITTLE PUPPY. Something was obviously funky with Loki's genetics, considering how fucked up all the Loki-spawn are. ]

[vanagandr]

[ HEY. HE ONLY ATE THAT HAND BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE GOT A LITTLE TOO SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR BONDAGE KINK. Maybe kinky shapeshifter sex is to blame for the whole "giant wolf" thing, too.

He hopes you're at least using condoms now, Loki. ]
