Lovely Lady Loki

[theapexpredator]

While I can hardly complain about the figure you've given me-- it's attractive enough to prove useful-- I do question your motivations. There are few things I can accomplish in this form that I couldn't in the other-- this is not even Sif's body so it provides me with no tactical advantage, you do realize this don't you? You and I both know that I can appreciate a good bit of fun as much as the next God--dess, but I'll let it be known that regardless of what body I'm in I have no intentions of abandoning my plans-- I was meant to rule, and rule I shall.

Neither you, this place or my shrunken stature will change that.

So long as you understand that and do not impede on my plans I shall tolerate your continued existence while it suits me.

Sif and tactical advantage. Are you sure that's quite right?

[theapexpredator]

[ It's a bit unnerving to see something so resembling your own face-- even if it's not the one you're currently occupying. ]

Her familiarity with Thor? The Warriors Three? Not to mention the others, it's quite an advantage, I'd say.

[flaerd]

You'd not consider it capable to gain such yourself?

[theapexpredator]

Perhaps with some, not with others. Perhaps things are of a different nature for you but I am not known to be trusted so easily.

[flaerd]

[ Strange look. Pardon him. ]

Are you not a shape shifter?

[theapexpredator]

It is a skill I possess, yes. However it can be seen through by some and one would only work for short ploys unless one disposed of Sif for an extended amount of time otherwise-- which makes the point moot.

[flaerd]

I suppose you'll have to resort to brains, then. How unfortunate.

[theapexpredator]

Unfortunate for those who would stand in my way, perhaps.

[flaerd]

Now that sounds more like me.

[theapexpredator]

Don't mistake this body for anything other than it is, a vessel. My ideals and motivations haven't changed, it would take far more than something as benign as this to change me.

[flaerd]

[ Really, self? Had he not been the one to quest of your shifting ability? Truth be, Loki did have an affinity for his most true form and then this form after it but as said, it's a body. ]

Certainly I would hope so.

[theapexpredator]

[ A slow spreading smile cuts across her lips, lacking in the pleasantries one might expect from this figure. ]

We have always made due with wit and what is available, as I will have to do now as I've found many of my options stolen from me.

[flaerd]

They have always underestimated our means of attack, and all the pity to them. At least you will be slighted less for your magic. [ He spares a vaguely amused grin.]

But do enlighten me, from one to the other, which throne you seek presidency over?

[theapexpredator]

The one I am deserving. First I will handle the mortals and their Midgardian atrocities that Thor favors. [ An edge of malice resides there, tugging the corners of her mouth downward again. ]

After that, we shall see.

[flaerd]

And have you a plan for Midgard? [ Oh, he knows that look. ]

[theapexpredator]

I will rule it, for if it refuses to be ruled then it will be crushed.

[heartofbadassium]

[Just... all the staring.]

[theapexpredator]

[ She can do this all day Stark, and better than you. ]

[heartofbadassium]

So how'd this happen?

[theapexpredator]

It was an option thrust upon me by those whom believe themselves to be in control.

[heartofbadassium]

The muns. Right.

I've seen, AU, de powered, hell, even human but the female is new. So kudos on that.

[theapexpredator]

It seems they have a wicked sense of humor I would appreciate otherwise. [ When it wasn't directed at him her. ]

[heartofbadassium]

Oh they do and believe me I am looking forward to seeing what they do to you.

[theapexpredator]

You should be far more worried about what happens to you, Stark.

[heartofbadassium]

Oh I am but that still doesn't take away that little... Kick of pleasure I get from watching what happens to every single one of you.

[theapexpredator]

Taking delight in the misery of others? That doesn't sound very heroic. [ A sly sort of smile, not friendly but erring on the better side of threatening. ]

[heartofbadassium]

Nope. Just the misery of you.

[theapexpredator]

I find you will be sorely disappointed if that is what you seek.

[heartofbadassium]

Don't be so sure. You remember what happened the last time?

[theapexpredator]

A fluke at best, far too much reliance on the assistance of fools with their inadequate troops.

[heartofbadassium]

Which was still a mistake you made. You know for an apparently briliant mind you are not doing all that well so far.

[theapexpredator]

One would think so, wouldn't they. [ Oh Tony, Loki has a temper but there's no way you're going to goad her into admitting any true goals. ]

[heartofbadassium]

That's true. Most aren't trying to see the big picture.

[ex_mygenuinepleasure660]

Blah blah blah. You keep talking but that's all I hear.

[theapexpredator]

No one is forcing you to listen, at least not yet.

[ex_mygenuinepleasure660]

Awww, that's cute you still hold to hope.

[theapexpredator]

As I recall you stood no chance against me.

[ex_mygenuinepleasure660]

As I recall, you're an ass. Besides how powerful can you be when it takes one hit to the noggin to knock you out of my head?

[theapexpredator]

I imagine one hit was all it took to rattle your brain with all the space it's given.

[ex_mygenuinepleasure660]

Just FYI? Human children stop using that analogy around four. You'll catch up eventually.

[ladygrim]

[ Hogun stares, because 1) that's what Hogun does, and 2) she is surprised to see a familiar face in a female body such as her own. Truthfully, with Loki involved it ought not to be so surprising, but it is unexpected all the same. ]

Their whims cannot change any of our true natures.

[theapexpredator]

[ There is some sort of humor or irony in this, though Loki can find neither. Instead his lips pull together, forming a thin line of annoyance. ]

Do you think that is so? For I have seen myself, dangling like a doll or a dog on a leash, eager to please and content with his Asgardian lie.

[ladygrim]

It is not my place to speak on such matters. I merely meant that the circumstances these mortals force upon us will not alter who we are.

[ For better or for worse. ]

[theapexpredator]

But that is my point, it is. [ He shakes his head slowly, ] They can pluck and pick out bits of you they don't like, draw the personality you hold dear apart and remake you in a way the see fit.

Nothing is sacred to them.
