Not sure if this fits under the Norse mythology tag

Of course it fits! We'll make it fit. And by "we" I mean "I", as it's clear who will be doing the actual fitting here. Speaking of which, I'm simply not seeing any benefit for me in sticking around your headspace... what was your name again - mundane? Did you choose that yourself? It suits you.

Where was I? Oh, yes-- I'm currently seeing nothing in this for me. Shouldn't your top priority be making me a good offer? Yes, an unlimited supply of food and mead is a start, but I've already got that more or the less in Asgard. How about investing in some servant muses for me?

...Hm. Maybe I could hold auditions here. After you've finished typing this you can start rounding up all able characters in a straight line over there. Chop chop, I haven't got all day.

Signed,

Loki

P.S. It's spelled "charismatic", not "hammy". You're welcome.

You're not gonna find many "servants" around here, mister.

Nonsense; I've seen plenty of humans around here. Why, you yourself look like a fine example of one, young lady.

I'm nobody's servant, you creep.

Did I say servant? You misunderstand: what I meant was you're obviously human. No, no, I can see you're far above being a mere servant and I would never dream of suggesting something like that.

Fine then. [She doesn't believe you. >| ] No need to be smart, by the way.

My dear girl, telling me not to be smart is like telling Heimdall not to be a pompous oaf.

And since we're talking talents anyway, surely you must have some yourself? [Something that could be useful to him in a totally not servant-y way?] It wouldn't do to just talk about myself.

[Skuld just loses it, don't mind her over here laughing.]

Right. I've been asking for Midgard foods from mine for a while and she's just giving me blank stares. Really is it that hard to ask for Ice cream?

I'm a botanist-I guess that's a talent. I know a lot about plants.

[That better not be laughter on his expense.]

Maybe you're just not asking in the right way? [Ahem.] Not to imply you don't have the gift of speech, of course, but these mundanes can be a challenge for most people...

[Aw would a Norn be that mean... hm, wait yeah she would. after all she and her sisters took Odin's eye for a drink of water, so laughing at the expense of others? Just another day in Asgard.]

That might be it, After all I'm not gifted with that silver tongue of yours, nor am I gifted with Baldr's way with people. Mine's not as challenging as she thinks she is. Infact she's quite simple minded.

Plants? Oh, plants are... nice. Pretty and fragrant and all that. [And of absolutely no use to him. Why is it never "professional foot masseuse"?

Oh well, he'll think of something!] Actually, I'm not very good with plants myself. Maybe you could show me a few tricks?

Very few are. When it comes to my tongue, I daresay no one in Asgard, Midgard or Utgard comes even close to my level. Then again, you and your colleagues possess very valuable talents that I don't have. [Sucking up because the Norns can be useful? You bet.]

Well, in that case it should be no problem! Would you, possibly, like some help with her?

We can also be picky about whom we help. [She won't buy it for a moment Loki, she knows how you are.] Not like all who come to us actually listen when we tell them what they need to know.

And I think there's another person who's on that task. but if she doesn't work I'll keep you in mind Loki.

You mean people actually disregard you lovely ladies' words? If they're that thoughtless they don't deserve your help, I say! Really, who would be so arrogant as to pass up on the best, most accurate advice in all the worlds? If it's any consolation, rest assured that I never would!

[Short pause to catch his breath ~~and wonder who this CHALLENGER is~~.] Oh, of course, of course, I'm glad you have someone to assist you already. Although... who is this person? Have you considered their motives for helping you out?

If you didn't know who I was, wouldn't you? Urd and Verthandi have it easier not being stuck as a little kid. Though you have before too, well the one that I know but was probably for the best, I was a little tipsy on elven wine. [Don't ask, it's safer.]

She's mortal, but has a way with the disorganized people.

Ah well, you know what they say about "out of the mouths of babes"... And I'd like to say I can't be held accountable for what I, er, other mes do, but I think there might be a distinct possibility that he'd had some of that elven wine, too. So in light of that, I really think neither of you should have to answer for that.

And that's... very good! But you know how greedy some people are. I just think you should be on your guard, for your own good.

Well, sure! What plant do you want to learn about?

How about something that's edible? And, uh, preferably tastes nice?

If you've got some seeds on you, maybe we could even plant them right here. Hands-on learning, you know...

Yeah, well if they listened more to the 'mouths of babes' there wouldn't be so much need of me. [though it's a half hearted argument.] True.

She's not. It's not Verthandi or Urd, but she's as trust worthy as... Well I trust her as much as I'd trust Verthandi. Which is pretty far.

Oh, I only meant that I know not to underestimate anyone because age, or apparent age, or any other shallow reason like that.

[Damn it woman, he just wants to ~~have you indebted to him~~ ~~be in your good graces~~ help you, stop making it difficult.] Do I even want to know what she's done to land herself that kind of high praise?

[She sees through it Loki, besides she'd rather have him in debt to her]

Deals with Anthony Stark on a daily basis, I'd rather face a n army of frost giants than him for more than twenty minutes! My mun has this horrible fascination at throwing me at Midgard inventors.

[That'd probably not be all that difficult to accomplish, seeing as the universe tends to work against this particular Loki.]

Really? I never thought one of the Norns would be afraid of a mortal, inventor or not.

[never said it was easy, she's probably going to need a boat load of aspirin later]

Well... normal conditions I might not be, but... Let's just say an accident kind of... [she's trying to think of how to word it properly but the words escape her]

My power is half of what it should be. Wasn't his fault, but I've been around enough of them to understand why mortals act the way they do, the whole risk of being badly hurt makes me wonder why they even get out of bed in the morning.

Oh, and accident. I think I know where this is going--

[...This ping is so loud it might as well be audible to others.]

I'm sorry, did I hear that right? You're at half your power?

You do know I'm still more than enough to deal with you right. [glare glare]

What? Why are you jumping to such conclusions? As if I would even consider anything like that in this your hour of need! Or any other time, for that matter.

No, I simply can't believe my ears-- who could possibly have done something so horrible to you? How?

Well... [Toes the ground] I kind of insulted Odin one too many times. [Though damn it it was fun and wasn't like she was really insulting him, she was just stating how stupid he was.]

Got myself exiled to Midgard for the next two centuries too. Seriously bit much you've done worse. Just proof he doesn't understand the need for myself and my sisters. I'll enjoy from Midgard when the backlash happens.

You poor, poor thing. How can he act that way? You're absolutely right - that's no reason to banish anyone, let alone someone as important as you. Just, ah, let's not bring me into this, shall we? We don't want the old man getting ideas.

[See how sympathetic and nice he is? See, see?]

Not on me, no. Why would I carry seeds with me?

Didn't you say you were a botanist? If it's your profession I'd think you'd want to always be prepared.

[ALAS.] Very well, then. What other things are you good at?

Oh I don't know. I mean really I saw it all play out before I spoke, but guess I'm stubborn. It's alright, I won't be on Midgard much longer he'll need me soon.

[She does take note of it] Maybe you can be my escort when I return?

[...-__-] Of course you'd have seen it. How silly of me.

Hmmm, I suppose that could be arranged. Possibly.

You know I could easily set things in motion to have it happen.

No need for that, my dear - I'm sure I'm capable of marking it down in my calender myself. What with all you've had to go through already, you really shouldn't need to trouble yourself any further. You just leave it all to me. [He'll probably conveniently "forget" it when the time comes, but coming off as nice and thoughtful now > doing actual work 200 years from now.]

[Yeah, if she really looked she'd know about it, but hey no biggie right]

[He'll just blame it on the Jotunns and their delicious wine and the hangovers that follow!]

[Oh that evil but delicious wine, being stuck on Midgard, in the US they frown when she tries to sample their drinks... something about being too young grrrrr]

[The mun wants to say that Loki feels bad for her, but... there's that distinct lack of caring about anyone but himself getting in the way of that.]

[yeah Loki caring would be so out of character.]
