I believe, miss writer, that if one wants to send someone to a new home, one needs to actually ...

Ah, write the accursed application.

Oh, goodness me, of course I know you have been so utterly swamped and all that. Shorter work hours, a near empty inbox, summer weather with all this blasted sun and heat. However do you manage? Truly an inspiration.

And it isn't as though I'm waiting with any sense of urgency or excitement, of course not. I am merely pointing out one of the many ways you contradict yourself in this pointless hobby of yours.

Just reminding you. That is all.

Leisure time does beckon, when there is work to be done. I have oft delayed my writing for a book, or a refreshing walk around my grounds.

[ophis]

Such is the incurable disease of those ailed with chronic procrastination. What a pity it is.

[declares]

There is virtue in leisure, as there is virtue in action.

[ophis]

Mere impatience. She makes promises, she does not deliver. What little faith I had in her has more than waned as of late.

[shorthanded]

I am afraid you may be wasting your breath on such matters. These people often seem quite impervious to logic.

[ophis]

[ Headtilt ... ] Ah, they did tell me there'd be days like this.

Though while I do see the uselessness of voicing my opinion to those unwilling to bend to reason, it is mine own right to say what I feel I must.

[shorthanded]

As much as I am all for the freedom to voice one's own opinions, it can be rather... well, I don't want to say 'dangerous.' But it may not always have quite the desired outcome.

[ophis]

Indeed, a warning I've heard several times over ever since the beginning. One almost grows tired of it.

[shorthanded]

I meant no offense, and it is not a warning I give lightly. These... people hold a terrifying power over us.

[ophis]

Terrifying? Surely you are not so afraid of them.

[bornofthis]

If she is no longer keen to write such a thing...perhaps you are losing favor. Do not worry, it happens to the best of us.

[ophis]

I doubt I am losing favour, when she is the one awake until the wee hours of the morning with me.

[bornofthis]

And yet, she's not written your application? Meanwhile, in the time since she made her intent known... mine has not only been written, processed and accepted... but I have already begun interacting with the residents.

Are you absolutely certain of your destination?

[ophis]

Oh, she's started it alright. But there has been little progress. I fear she has too much fun elsewhere, that she forgets her priorities.

[bornofthis]

Ah, temptation. Who am I to prevent her from...giving in to it?

/chinhands at all your icons omg ♥

[slaegr]

[ Have a cool smirk. ]

You're quite certain it isn't urgency and excitement that propels you? I see little point in drawing her attention to it otherwise.

aww, why thank you :3

[ophis]

[ Ah, his counterpart, how nice to meet you ♥ ]

I think you, of all people, should know how much fun it is to point out the failings of others.

/tips hat c:

[slaegr]

Naturally, although I would not wish my revelation of truths to be used to my detriment. A little subtlety may benefit you.

;3; ♥ /curtsy

[ophis]

And herein lies the difference between us otherwise similar souls, my friend. You like your shadows and your subtlety, I prefer to stand in the metaphorical spotlight, point, and laugh.

/places in pocket and keeps o3o;;;

[slaegr]

As you like. I would not doubt that you are well prepared for a stunning amount of attention.

[ Enjoy it before it makes you as jaded and bitter as an old man, other self. ]

We were, after all, made to be seen.

/late to the party :"c

[god_of_thunder]

Ah, Loki––

That is good. [ His brother needs a home, and every home needs his brother. Something like that. ]

Has anything come of the application?

/saves cake for ;3;

[ophis]

[ Oop- perking up! ] Thor?

Oh ... she hesitates. Even now. There are times when I fear she means not to send me anywhere at all.

oh no, bless you ( b ; v ;)b

[god_of_thunder]

Nay! That cannot be so. You must definitely be in a place, for others must know of you.. for you are great.

[ The brother of Thor would not be any less than that. Fact. ]

every party should have enough cake ;;

[ophis]

[ Ah, do excuse him, laughing quietly behind his hand here. ]

You do flatter me, truly. Such praise, I am undeserving of.

this party cake is sprinkled with so many hiddles /;3;/

[god_of_thunder]

Nonsense! Tis the glory that comes with being Loki, brother of Thor –– God of Thunder.

[ He's feeling quite pleased with himself. ] I will ask you though, may I inquire how you are–- when you do go to a home?

I will want to hear my brother does well, but I would hear of your troubles should you counter any.
