Sifting through games ...

[slaegr]

And you — look at you.

[ Loki chuckles as he regards his mun, quiet and unconcerned, because he's heard this story one too many times before. He seems far too at ease for someone who knows he's going to be allocated somewhere terrible in the foreseeable future, but then again, that's nothing new. This one's been treading the edge of the knife for too long now as it is. ]

Try, by all means, but do not expect me to pander to your dull needs or empty promises. After all, if it is a 'game' you seek ...

[ And there it is, that tilt of the head; the quirk of thin lips that never fails to prelude some kind of mischief. ]

Then it is a game we shall play.

[Charles is comparing her head to this guy's?

Tch. He wishes.]

Don't talk to them that way, it makes them more determined.

[slaegr]

At this point I could fairly care less.

[neveracoward]

I thought you didn't want to be toyed with, to be given empty promises. Not that you didn't care about, hmm [she lifts her hand distractedly, as though playing with a marionette] ...being in the hands of some pathetic little human.

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

You realise that you sound like a complete rapist just now?

[slaegr]

That was hardly the best way for you to make an impression.

[fuckinghateadrenaline]

You assume I wanted to make an impression. Just a bit of advice, that's all.

[nocathere]

Not the sort to play croquet.

[slaegr]

A Midgardian pastime, I take it?

[nocathere]

Wonderland, actually.

[neverspring]

Play? [ Ah... She's so bored basking in the bright, crimson light that almost makes her mood brighten. ] You say that so easily as if the games out there are fun at all.

[slaegr]

Most anything can be enjoyable providing the correct strings are plucked.

[neverspring]

What if you don't like puppets? They are too sad to stare at with their hopelessness.

[neverspring]

That's why it's so much enjoyable to squash them. That way they won't have to look at their pathetic sadness~

[no_stopping]

That was the creepiest thing I've heard in. Like. A whole month.

Just so you know.

[slaegr]

[ Clearly you've never had a conversation with the Chitauri. ]

Would that I could say the same.

[no_stopping]

I shudder to think who you must hang out with, then.

[coffeemugsmash]

Loki.

[slaegr]

... The prodigal son himself.

[ Have a brief once over, Thor. ]

Why are you here?

[coffeemugsmash]

[ He's a bit confused, what with being exiled and all. ]

I had few places to go. You are the last I would expect to find here! You are needed in Asgard, are you not?

[shorthanded]

Alas, threats will not work on such people. Vague or otherwise. Bribery, pandering, begging, negotiations, demands... No matter the tactic used, they simply refuse to listen.

Well hello you handsome devil, you ... ♥

[slaegr]

You speak as one who has attempted a great many of these tactics first-hand. Should I assume that you have?

[mechatronic]

So, what are you going to suggest? You seem like a chess kinda guy, but I bet an argument could be made for Yahtzee or Twister if you spun it right. Though I think if she's got any sense she'd draw the line at Risk, considering your track record; you seem like someone who would take things a little too personally if you couldn't keep hold of Russia.

Stark.

[ Just. J u s t. ]

You talk entirely too much for a man of such uninspiring stature.

[therealgenius]

It's not—it doesn't work like that.

Muns are...she'll sink your biggest battle ship in, like, ten hits. There's no winning.

[slaegr]

It is that attitude, Mr Hammer, that puts you so far behind Anthony Stark.
