testing out yet another au
My, my, my.
What a quaint headspace you have, miss writer. A few too many ... familiar faces, I must admit. I cannot imagine getting along with a single one of them. They seem rather distressed.
You do see the mistake you are making here, yes? Stepping forward into something with a simple notion, and naught the faintest of ideas where to take it. I've sit here for quite some time now, waiting for a little attention, and here I am now with only a name and a tentative story behind me.
The others did say you were the type to rush into things. I suppose it's better of me not to be surprised about it, hm?
But I appreciate the effort. I even get to have a little fun, which is more than what I can say for the rest of them. Perhaps you like me best.

[ These did not sound to be like very nice people. As he took a drink from his new glass, he began wondering if there were a way to get to this man's world. Even with all its troubles, Midgard at least had its own heroes. Its own people who could stand up to such evils. ]
no subject
[ He wondered the same, if he could bring this mighty man of Asgard with him, to fend off the hunters and keep him all to himself. But, ah, it is only a fantasy. And for now, he can just enjoy having a drink with his new friend, and pretend. ]
They are certainly doing more than terrorizing me.
no subject
[ He looked down at the beer in his hand and just set it down on the table. He was getting worried. Both from the way this man seemed to be talking in circles, and that he might be in grave danger. ]
no subject
[ He avoids the second part for now, eyeing the man beside him as he plays with the straw in his drink. Surely he would catch on quickly enough. ]
no subject
He thought perhaps he needed a moment, so he started to drink to fill the silence. But by the time half of his drink was gone, he still hadn't figured it out. So he put the glass down and looked over at Loki. ]
If these hunters are the champions of your world, those who fight the monsters...I still do not understand why they would treat you as a threat, as well. Are you not in need of protection from the evils of your world?
no subject
Trying to keep that level of sympathy up, Loki glances away for a moment, putting on a convincing show of looking nervous and uncomfortable. As if he were surrounded by hunters. ]
I might have ... caused a bit of trouble for them in the past. But I have done nothing more since then, and I told them I was sorry. [ ... sort of. ]
no subject
Are all men of your world so disagreeable as these?
no subject
All the ones I have come into contact have been, at least. [ He says it sadly, a hint of loneliness in his tone, though how much of it is genuine is yet to be made clear. ]
no subject
No, surely he misunderstood the meaning. That couldn't be possible. ]
In all your life?
no subject
Which ... he actually might, if he thought about it. But that would be saved for another time. Right now, he was trying to stay in this man's good graces. ]
In all my life.
Up until now, of course.
no subject
However, that second statement seemed to brighten him up, bringing a slight, hopeful smile to his face. ]
Then we must find you somewhere that you may know a better life. There are a thousand worlds open to us here. We need only find one which will welcome you, and show you the kindness you deserve.
no subject
Should he ruin it for the sake of having a decent meal? ]
You are too kind. [ He smiles, and after another sip from his drink, he leans a little closer in his chair, his hand returning to the other man's forearm. ] I believe ... I would like that, very much.
no subject
Then let us finish our drinks and we shall be on our way!
[ To show the dedication behind his words, he proceeded to down the remaining half of his beer. ]
no subject
And as he watched the man polish off his drink in one gulp, he decides to do the same. A fraction slower of course, he's not a large man like his companion, but after a bit of effort his glass is empty as well.
Whoo, minty chilly freshness. ]
no subject
He waited until Loki was finished to say anything. ]
Shall we be off, then?
no subject
I will follow your lead, my friend. [ His smile widens a bit more, and he gently tugs on Thor's arm as he slides off his chair. ]
no subject
What manner of world do you feel would suit your tastes best? I have heard tell of everything from vast, unending fields of battle with an inexhaustible force of monstrous creatures, to those of such complacency it is easy to enjoy one's self and the company of others with relative ease.
no subject
As useful as my skills may be, I am not sure I am all that fit for battlefields. Yet, I do not wish to be bored, either.
no subject
The possibilities of realms seems as boundless as the imagination itself. What manner of realm would suit your tastes?
no subject
I'm afraid I do not quite know what is out there ...
I suppose some place I could relax, where I would not be bothered. Do you know of someplace quiet?
no subject
He tried to think of any world he may have even heard of that would allow relaxation. But so many were fraught with strife and peril, or unspeakable acts. ]
I have not heard of such a realm, but that does not mean it does not exist. With each passing day, I learn of new and spectacular worlds. But would not a place of relaxation lead eventually to boredom?
no subject
I suppose I should have known better than to ask for peace.
[ He pauses and thinks for another moment, turning a bit to properly face Thor and slowing their pace down a hint. ] Perhaps somewhere a little more exciting wouldn't be so bad. Providing, of course, I have you there to protect me.
You will, won't you?
no subject
I am afraid I cannot follow you to another realm. I have been called to protect a great Library, and cannot ignore it. While in this place, I can protect you, or if you were to follow me. However, it is full of danger and ferocious beasts.
no subject
A dangerous library. I've never heard of such a thing.
But, I understand. I would not want to call you away from where you are needed.
no subject
The manner in which time behaves in this place, it may not be impossible. When you are prepared to venture into one of the many realms available, my duty could be finished. I could spend years among its shelves, engaging in a thousand glorious battles, when but a few days pass here.
[ His optimism seemed to fade once again, his tone lowering. ]
But the reverse is true, as well. I could be gone mere hours. Meanwhile, you could grow old as father while awaiting my return.
