RE: annoying big brothers

[allfatherissues]

Ah, yes, 'progress', as you call it.  The term is an apt one, but whether or not you would describe it as monumental or minute remains to be seen.  Or perhaps it is both, my dearest mundane;  an earnest conversation between him and I is a great feat, no doubt, but in the grand scheme of things it hardly matters.  Everything remains the same.

You may see it as a step forward, but I see it as a moot point – did you not think that all your efforts will be for nothing, in a mere few weeks' time?  Considering that there will be changes and so-called 'updates' to be made.

I suppose only one of us can possess the true gift of foresight;  sadly, it isn't you.

[Foresight? That makes the one who gifted prophecy so many eons ago curious.]

You are gifted with foresight?

[allfatherissues]

Only in the way that I can see where her plans may unravel at the seams, an obvious fact to anyone who would bother to think ahead.

[Loki is often several steps ahead of everyone else, but actually seeing the future is a talent he unfortunately(?) doesn't possess.]

Limited, I suppose, but it is all that I need.

[goldcrowned]

[Hmm. Perhaps it could be more of a Greek talent? Phoebe hasn't associated with other pantheons for a while now.]

So you mean to say that you are extremely logical.

[allfatherissues]

You may call it that. Guile does require a certain amount of rationale, would you not agree?

[goldcrowned]

Guile? Do you mean cleverness or treachery?

[She's not really inclined to get into a debate, however, so she waves a hand as though to clear the air of anything ill that could have swept itself in.]

I ask sincerely because I was once the holder of a grand temple of prophecy.

[worldserpent]

Better.. without Thor.

[allfatherissues]

[A wry, humourless grin.] Certainly less complicated.

[worldserpent]

You.. are.. b-- better than.. than Asgard.

[allfatherissues]

Better or otherwise, Asgard will not have me as it stands, and I am detached from the realm as long as my mundane finds it necessary to keep me chained to my current situation.

[Stuck on a spaceship with his brother, how lovely.]

But I'll not have you worry of such things.

Why do you have shifting icons of wolf and snake brother AND a lady but not him

Why does everyone hate him :(]

[worldserpent]

[ pat pat it's okay bro jor still loves you >: ]

[allfatherissues]

[ROFL don't feel bad, Sleipnir; he doesn't hate you. :( Blame the icon choices on the mundane.]

Now, do not look at me like that; certain things are even beyond my control.

[spiderhorse]

[Can he sit at the table with the you
the other kids are so mean just because he wasn't tossed into midgard
because you dumped him at a nice place, they're all nasty about it
HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG

Look at you like what, parent?]

[allfatherissues]

Like I've done you a disservice, Sleipnir.

[The irony in his tone, however, probably isn't lost on the steed.

Come sit at the table with your momdad. He'll make it all better.]

[mjolnir_time]

[Can't you just enjoy the moment, Loki?]

Better minute progress than none at all, brother.

[allfatherissues]

[No.]

Fruitless at best. It changes neither my feelings on the matter, nor the situation we find ourselves in.

[mjolnir_time]

[Sigh.]

We still have time before this "canon update" happens.

[allfatherissues]

[Forever here to make things difficult for you, bro.]

Would you not rather spend that time indulging yourself in less transient efforts, Thor?

[hydrokhoos]

That's going to be a doozy of an update, best I understand. I'd say that you might have better luck fixing things between you without his friends about, but I imagine after that movie they'll be showing up everywhere.

On an unrelated note, you really are much prettier than other Lokis I've met.

[allfatherissues]

'Fixing things' seems to be more his concern and less of mine. As for the appearances of his so-called friends, that is something my mundane is far more enthusiastic about; I am not so eager.

[A quirk of the brow.] A fine compliment, or so that is what I will believe. Have you met many others?

[hydrokhoos]

Well, I imagine not. They're all going to be gunning for you, aren't they?

Two other versions, I think. And it's not that they're unattractive, of course, but there's something about tall, dark, and wicked, you know? Plus I hear you're a better dad.

[allfatherissues]

That is dependent upon what exactly these updates may entail. [a flicker of a grin] ...But as it stands, the most obvious answer is, yes, they will.

Better? Or simply more available, here in this strange forum we all gather in?

[trololoki]

Lighten up already. You're making me look bad.

you have the best username

[allfatherissues]

Am I? I wasn't aware that my own lamentations, however reasonable they are, affected you in any way, shape, or form.

why thank you. :>

[trololoki]

All that whining...sheesh. For a god of mischief, you sure spend more time being mopey than actually doing any active mischief.
