Balder wants his mun to step away from her weird ideas

[dusk_and_dawn]

Please cease writing these "AUs" at once. I do not scheme. 'Tis true, no one would ever expect me to scheme, but 'tis because I do not scheme. I know you know this, for my userinfo contains a proclamation about how I never lie.

If you are getting bored please do something we would both enjoy. Perhaps allow me to pick up and throw Loki out of Asgard again, if only to prove that I trust him a lot less farther than I can throw him.

Ooooh see I kinda like that idea. The throwing Loki on his ass... But well... That's only because it would be easier than getting near his son Fenrir...

*And Skuld'll shut up now because yeah, Norn shouldn't really interfere right.*

[dusk_and_dawn]

It was in fact on his head. Into a wall.

[This is said flatly and without any smugness since he was driven pretty far for it to come to that.]

I believe there are many who would enjoy it if they could have the privilege. Fenrir seems a bit heavy to toss.

[techygoddess]

Ow... Missed it being on Midgard. *And having a mean mun who has her foresight weakening, but hey, at least Skuld's somewhere to search for Urd and Verthandi.*

I'm sure your brother and Tyr could do it with a joint effort. But would not want to test it. Not without a muzzle twice as strong as he has now. Just to be on the safe side. *Hey her worst nightmares involve the wolf's jaws. She won't be taking chances EVER*

[dusk_and_dawn]

The two are quite close these days.

I would count on them to lift anything, and they're quite effective at muzzling as well. But I do not believe we have reason to tug Fenrir's tail at this time.

[techygoddess]

I would not know. I have not stepped in Asgard in some time. Though I hear from others, snippets of things while my visions are... Unreliable. It's like the future is being rewoven, but not by the hands of the Norn.

No, it's not time yet. That much I still see clearly. It's a long way off.

[dusk_and_dawn]

[He's just going to raise an eyebrow at that. His relationship with the Norns is ... complicated.]

I should hope so, considering it only just occurred. But did Thor not end the endless cycle?

[techygoddess]

*Wouldn't be her fault! Probably Urd's Urd is the trouble... okay mostly the troublemaker. Skuld just has the habbit of building explosive thingies.*

Not in the timeline I'm from. We might be different set points or realities. I know that happens more than I would like. Key points changed... My visions say it's still at least a year from now.

[dusk_and_dawn]

Ah, well, it would be hard for it to occur now as I am already dead and nothing has come. It is a bit disheartening to learn it will happen elsewhere, however.

[techygoddess]

You haven't been brought back? Not sure if I like that outcome of breaking the cycle. How I've always seen it everyone returns, but the key events don't happen again.

I've been able to stall some events a while. Urd had left to help... That was ninety years ago. Twenty years later, Verthandi left, falling for a mortal, then disappearing altogether. I left home fifty years ago to hunt for them. Have yet to return home.

Though I have run into Loki and Thor both. Neither know my visions are fading... I wish them not to. I would lose my rank in the Valkarie if they knew my powers were weaker.

[dusk_and_dawn]

I was brought back and died again. [He smiles softly. He does have a habit of dying, doesn't he? But at least he died for something this time.]

Not knowing your situation and world, I can hardly offer advice except to lay your hopes with Thor. And I wish you luck in your efforts.

[techygoddess]

I am sorry if it means anything Baldir.

It wouldn't be so bad if he remembered I only look like a child. *Okay and act like it most of the time to fool the mortals, but really! Being stuck with a 'babysitter' by someone you saw grow up from a baby is kind of embarrassing!*

[dusk_and_dawn]

It is all right. I died well.

Perhaps he is only teasing?

[ex_asynja827]

Haven't we already had that conversation before?

[dusk_and_dawn]

We have had many conversations repeatedly, making none the difference. I suppose it would make a better way to pass the time than what she does at present.

[ex_asynja827]

You did have a habit of contradicting yourself, didn't you? All your claims to have no words to speak to me, and yet here we are.

Having conversation.

Surely you'd prefer your mortal's mischief over mine?

[dusk_and_dawn]

Not at the present moment. And as I am dead, what shall you do?

[He sighs. She could probably think of something.] Some day you shall meet yourself here. Will you find that amusing or aggravating?

[ex_asynja827]

...Ah.

[Where he's from, you're not dead - well, not yet.]

It would depend on the circumstances, Bright One. Shall it be a mirror of who I was? A copy of what the Midgardian tales tell of me? Perhaps it will be a shadow of my previous incarnation. What think you of that?

[dusk_and_dawn]

[He's not really surprised by the lack of reaction.]

I have seen a few, all different. I wondered more if you would see them as your fellows or as a challenge.

[ex_asynja827]

You ask as though there's a distinction between the two.

[You should have learned by now, Balder. Obviously you never learn.]

You're very lively, for a dead man.

[dusk_and_dawn]

[Raises an eyebrow.] Do be kind to your young self. He may be you, but he is also but a boy.

[No, he really doesn't.]

I have been hunting. It keeps me busy.

[ex_asynja827]

You've been hunting.

[That was so typical an answer Loki thinks he must have ate something to have expected something different. No one ever changes.]

Youth never stays, you know. Hold out your hopes for a child as well as you could, Balder - given the time, and knowing this twisted world we belong to, it won't be for long that young remains young, despite the body that keeps it.

[dusk_and_dawn]

'Tis honorable service, Loki, and more than I deserve.

[Hey, he changed that one time he died. But these things don't always take.]

Perhaps. But I could no better pry that child from Thor's arms than pry the sun out of the sky.

[ex_asynja827]

Then bless that child, he has a hard life ahead of him.

[Bitter? Well, when was he not, save for the few times that the Norns thought him useful? It gets tiring to be who he is - catalyst of chaos, and yet constantly held to the threads of fate. Free for as long as destiny allows; that boy will learn, one way or another, the pain of Thor's mark on his soul.]

Pray tell, what does Balder hunt in these here parts?

[dusk_and_dawn]

I do not doubt it. All see your eyes in his, and perhaps he will never have a chance to be anyone else.

Demons. Perhaps not challenging, but useful.

[ex_asynja827]

Cruel, isn't it? [For all that your sort have claimed to be heroes - but that's a story for another time.]

Suppose you that must have been entertaining, at least? It seems a waste of time, really.
