Testing!

[luckywebhead]

Oh, dude... Really? I mean, I get that you're lonely but this seriously creepy. And stop reading my thoughts about Romanov. She's hot, but she will kill me if she gets the chance. That said, the puns are great!

You are hardly one to speak with authority on fashion.

[luckywebhead]

Hey man, don't knock the red and blue. It's like Cap's outfit but without the propaganda. I don't see any Loki shirts. Wanna know why? Because you're a slytherin rip off.

Also, for a trickster god you're pretty deadpan.

[slyest]

[Loki may not know what a "slytherin" is, but the rest of that almost sounds like an invitation to wreak havoc on the world.]

Oh? Do you find me dull? Shall I entertain you?

[luckywebhead]

Oh, you'll have to get me a few drinks before you treat me to karaoke smooth talker.

[slyest]

Don't confuse me with Tony Stark. I might take offense, and I assure you, you wouldn't want that.

[luckywebhead]

I certainly wouldn't. You're not bearded. Or wearing an iron suit.

Seriously, did you learn your conversation skills at the morgue?

[slyest]

That would be because I've some modicum of taste.

What would you prefer? Something more inane?

[luckywebhead]

Hey, I'm American. I can deal with inane. Better than death threats.

Admittedly, Americans can sometimes accidentally combine the two, but they try hard.

[slyest]

Tell me then, American, what passes for suitable conversation among your kind?

[luckywebhead]

[He backtracks slightly.]

Are you asking me...? That sounded almost... friendly... Weren't you threatening me a moment ago?

[slyest]

[Congratulations, Peter Parker. You've just made a god roll his eyes.]

You're not given to being satisfied, are you? There are those like you in Asgard.

[luckywebhead]

For the sake of their masculinity, I certainly hope not. [He can have a dig at himself if he chooses!]

Urh... Well, I don't know much that you'd understand to be honest... I like science and books, baseball and movies. All ear-... Midgard stuff.

[slyest]

They tend to prefer trousers and breeches to night-clothes, but the complaining seems to be universal.

[They don't have leotards in Asgard, so he's just hazarding a guess here at what the outfit is.]

I read, far more than most Asgardians do. And science... We have other words for it, but I admit myself most intrigued by what your people accomplish with it.

[luckywebhead]

Yeah well, I get around based on science, so I'm pretty content myself. [He shoots a webline] It's inbuilt in my body but science helps me use it like a weapon. [He shrugs]

[slyest]

And such a weapon is necessary, is it?

[luckywebhead]

I dunno, is using magic neccesary to fight your brother? [raises an eyebrow]

[slyest]

You don't happen to see a large, garish hammer anywhere on my person, do you?

[luckywebhead]

My point being that you take what you can get to win. For me, that's spider powers.

[slyest]

This I know all too well.

Do they work? Your spider powers. Do you win?

[luckywebhead]

Mostly. I've lost some people but I do my best. I consider the fact that I'm still alive a pretty huge victory. I've got a lot of enemies.

[slyest]

What is it you've done to win yourself so many who mean you harm?

[luckywebhead]

Urm... Stopping other people from hurting others, stealing things?

Like... Your father right? Peace and harmony? I'm kinda like that. But with spider stuff. I guess...

It's just sometimes people need help and I can help them, you know?

[slyest]

My father? He knew nothing of peace and harmony. His was the purview of war and death and misery.

And your helpfulness earns you enemies. That too I know well enough, Man of Spiders. Why do you continue providing your aid?

[luckywebhead]

I dunno man, I'm just guessing?

Why do I keep helping people? Urh... I guess for the same reason anyone does anything. They think it's the right thing to do.

If it were you about to die, I could only assume you'd want help. Most would. And if I can help... I will.

The people I face are selfish and mostly freaking stupid. They hurt people. I don't like bullies.

[slyest]

I see.

Tell me, if you would, for I am curious. Were I about to die, would you come to my aid, knowing who and what I am?
