The people I con, or scam, or trick, or what-have-you: they deserve it. They could walk away. They don't have to say yes. Idiots, pathetic fools. They don't go to the police because they know they did wrong.

They're criminals. Because, of course, bad blood always comes out in the end.

[That is a very noir hat, sir.]

You sound cynical.

[blots]

I have every right to be.

[fotlenke]

Why is that?

[blots]

Oh, is it time to shame me into faithfulness and cheer? Grade school all over again.

[fotlenke]

You have a right to be cynical because they shamed you into faithfulness and chair in grade school?

[She makes a confused face.]

[blots]

No; that was all you, my dear.

[fotlenke]

I made you cynical?

That does not make much sense, sir.

[blots]

For God's sake, woman.

I meant you constantly tried to reason me out of it. You, who acted as though the fact that we dated was enough for me to become sunshine and puppy tails.

[fotlenke]

...what.

Good sir. I have only just met you. I have no true idea who you are.

[blots]

[ Narrowed eyes. He isn't sure if he believes her. ]

My mistake.

[fotlenke]

What is your name, anyways?

[She takes a bit of her dress's skirts and dips in a clumsy curtsy.]

I am Sigyn Freyasdotter.

[blots]

I know that's your --

[ He hisses out a breath. ]

Loki. Odinson.

[therealgenius]

Riveting. Great story. Shocking tale. I can't believe I have never heard it before, A plus and two thumbs all the way. You should publish that, it's entrancing.

[fotlenke]

Loki.

[She thinks.]

Odinson.

[She shakes her head.]

Funny. That's the name of the God of Mischief as well.

[blots]

Of course, bad blood can show itself in quite a few other ways.

Hammer, isn't it?

[blots]

How interesting. Do tell me more.

[fotlenke]

All right.

His name is Prince Loki Odinson, but I suppose he prefers Laufeyson, now. He lived in Asgard with his brother, Thor, and is the adopted child of the Allfather, Odin. He is a shapeshifter and a talented liar, which earned him the name Silver Tongue. He is also an accomplished sorcerer and talented illusionist.

[therealgenius]

Uh blah blah, good to see you still talk about shit no one cares about no matter what flavor you come in.

Get some help, buddy. Hammer Industries will pay for your therapy if Stark doesn't.

[blots]

It was sarcasm. I've no time for child's stories.

[blots]

How kind of you.

And tell me -- what would you care about? Government contracts? Profit margins? Corporate espionage?

[boldas]

Because two wrongs always make a right.

[therealgenius]

[Ew espionage = spies and spies = that redheaded bitch who broke his glasses. No thanks.]

More homeless shelters, for starter, and a nationwide shut down of all kill animal shelters. Too many cats being put to sleep because of human irresponsibility, you know.

[blots]

Poor mathematics. Two wrongs make two wrongs. It only means that both parties deserve it.

[blots]

You are full of shit. If I could hand you a foolproof way to bring down Stark Industries, you would come panting to me like a dog.

[boldas]

They're scum, and you're lowering yourself to their level.
