VOICE TEST ❅ Possible spoilers for Avengers, which uh. I'm working on seeing for the third time.

[slaegr]

[ It should come as no great surprise that Loki isn't so much as looking at his mun at this point. What had been new, perhaps even worth his curiosity, has faded into something bland, dull, and ordinary — he stands straight and still with his hands clasped behind his back, lashes low over clear blue eyes. ]

I would ask what you expect to achieve by bringing me back to this trembling planet; a place so plagued with sickness of mind and heart that refuses to yet be healed. Happiness, perhaps? Entertainment?

[ The narrow fold of his mouth pricks at the corners, lips curling into a smirk as wry and cool as the lilt of his silken voice. ]

... Or perhaps you seek something more.

[ And now those eyes lift, slow and steady, to reveal just a hint of amusement. ]

Tell me, little Midgardian.

[ Nonchalant as always. ]

Tell me what it is that only I can give you.

Comments

[coils]

I'm sorry; are you lost, little one?

THREADJACKS hi

[worldserpent]

[ o h hi he remembers you. putting hands.. on byakuroku's coils again.. because it's always so nice to see this snake-person. ]

A.. version. Different. Version of-- father.

huuufffffsssssssssssssssssssssss

[coils]

Oh? [Byakuroku tilts his head slowly, considering.] He seems... distraught.

[slaegr]

'Little one'?

[ No. No, Loki doesn't like that at all, and the tail-end of an eyebrow lifts a little way as he glances over this newcomer. Still, the smirk doesn't fade, although there's a sharper edge to his expression that mightn't have been there before. ]

—And in what way do I seem little? I would very much like to know.

[coils]

[Byakuroku's life is just one long string of saucy-mouthed children. He twitches the end of his tail good-naturedly.]

In form. [Though he would stand tall among humans, he is still quite dwarfed by Byakuroku.] You are... [He regards him unblinkingly, tasting the air and reading the temperature of his body and the mood of his spirit.] old. But you are not yet old enough to be considered wise.

[flickerember]

[Now that's a good question. Hard to answer, though. Meinal clears her throat gingerly and stands with her hands folded in front of her.]

Erm... begging your pardon, but, uhm...

[slaegr]

Do you have something to say? Or is your miserable stuttering supposed to be some kind of endearing personality trait?

[flickerember]

[Huff.]

Well, that was rude! I was just going to say that that was a good question you asked.

SOBS

[godofabs]

... You live.

UGLYCRIES

[slaegr]

I live. Does it disappoint you, Odinson?

he is post movie okok

[godofabs]

You still live in a grand delusion where you are not loved?

/working on third cinema trip tomorrow, sobs

[purplepants]

She probably enjoys those thespian speeches you like to give.

/just clutches and weeps with

[slaegr]

As yours must harbour some fondness for the way you turn into an drooling monster.

[kinglaufey]

Entertainment, I suspect.

[slaegr]

[ ... Curious. Very curious. Loki regards Laufey coolly as he tilts his head just a fraction. ]

And you consider yourself learned in such matters?

Room for a comic!castmate?

[drinksyourmilkshake]

I had hoped age would end your usage of such dainty words.

[Le sigh~ but she's happy to see you, grown-up!Loki]

I see I was incorrect.

Always! Please bear with the MCUness ;;

[slaegr]

Would it suit you better if I apologised?

[ Because he's not going to do that. :| ]

the movie is even better the third time 83

[starkgirlfriday]

You grant wishes now, do you?

/reaches for it so desperately c:

[slaegr]

I grant whatever so suits me.

[clearance]

[ It's the absence of expression that's always said more than any tic or curve that skitters across Natasha's face. Her brows pinch together a fraction, her mouth falling into a flat line and when she speaks, her tone is even and flat (things get weighed differently, when the opposing party is no longer in a cage). ]

Maybe they want nothing.

[slaegr]

I think not.

[ In stark contrast to Natasha's expression Loki's smile is easy and wide, although the way it fails to reach his eyes can only be discomfiting (if not unexpected). ]

If there is one thing you helped me remember, Miss Romanoff, it is that no little girl approaches a God without an agenda.

[chickfury]

[ She can not even begin to tell you how unhappy she is to see you .]

[slaegr]

Remembering something pleasant?

[truefrostqueen]

[Momma not impressed.]

Little one...

[slaegr]

[ This is just. What. No. Loki's already been getting enough nonsense from his biological father, but now to be hassled by a female, too ...

Well. He isn't stupid. ]

Stay away from me.
