You understand, do you not, that I care nothing for the meager delights of Midgard. What the simpering mortals consider enjoyable are nothing compared to the greater pleasures found elsewhere in the universe.

With that in mind, you would do well to cease these tedious attempts at introducing me to their culture. I care not, nor shall I, despite the lengths to which you go to make it so that I do.

Play your feeble games elsewhere. I am not as easily manipulated as you. And I’ve not forgotten my true goal.

Why is everything a game with you? Were you traumatized by magical checkers or something? Is it a deep-seated fear you have to speak about in passing to keep yourself from curling into a corner and crying about?

[slyest]

You speak with a familiarity you have not been granted, mortal man. I suggest you guard your words more closely, should you wish to retain the ability to utter them.

[therealgenius]

[oh my god dude slow your roll]

Mortal man? You realize that's like calling me a human, right? It's not an insult; it's just a fact.

[slyest]

[ Thou shouldest check thyself before thou wreckest thyself ]

I should think calling naming you human insult enough.

[slyest]

Neither do you.

[ Oh, look at that. He is implying something dirty. ]

[therealgenius]

[thou should go fuck yourself xoxoxo]

Don't break your neck there, buddy. Don't go out in the rain, either, your nose is so high up you'd drown before you'd get rid of your smarmy pride long enough to get out of it.

loki laufeyson, also god of hideous typos

[slyest]

[ Why you do this, Justin? Why? ]

Perhaps it better that I break yours, hmm?

don't start with the blame game justin has it down pat ok ok

[therealgenius]

[because only care about tech]

Is that what makes you feel better? Destroying the frail, brittle bodies of inferior species? That's the makings of a serial killer, people who kicks puppies and light bags of crickets on fire and choke snakes to death or whatever.

[slyest]

I think not.

[ Nope, sorry. He still is. ]

loki's older than justin tho, he's been doing it longer

[slyest]

Not generally, no. Ordinarily your kind is of no consequence to me.

[slyest]

Perhaps you'd be best served continuing that line of discussion with Thor. Mediocre though I'm certain that might be, you'd have significantly more success presenting your case.

ageism is a bad look, bro

[therealgenius]

Just the ones that don't kowtow immediately, right? You gotta pick off old people who won't take your shit, and that? That's sad. That's really, really sad. It's pathetic on a level that has no proper word in any language. Do you want pity? You deserve some pity. Somewhere. Maybe.

This from someone who wound up a hungover tiger in Las Vegas.

[YEAH, SHE SAID IT. What's simpering she hasn't learned what it means.]

so's being a frost giant

[slyest]

And what is it that you know of pity, hmm? Has it been a comfort to you, as you've stood lost and forgotten in the shadow of one considered greater? Has it ameliorated your sense of failure when you've never been able to prove yourself good enough?

[slyest]

You've certainly no reason to present it to me, either.

[slyest]

That happened only once, Lady Sakura.

[ You get the polite former prince, Sakura. You've earned it. ]

mystique would be offended.

[therealgenius]

[. . .]

Not exactly. I have my own pity parties when that happens, no one else is invited but ice cream and crepes.

[because crepes are fucking delicious]

[slyest]

You are reaching, Stark.

[ Try harder, bro. ]

is she a frost giant? loki doesn't know

[slyest]

[ What is this strange cure of which you speak? ]

What is that?

[decks]

[She's flattered. Really.]

"Lady?" Not "simpering mortal" anymore?

[WAS SHE EVER? Who knows.]

[slyest]

Have you ever condescended to simper?

[ IS THAT A COMPLIMENT? Maybe. ]

she's superior to frost giants so. . .

[therealgenius]

...what, a pity party or ice cream? Or crepes?

That's. That's types of food. Lots of sugar, gives you...makes you happy.

[decks]

[Scoffs.] Of course not.

[Let's just. Ignore Sasuke, that was a special case and also she was 12.]

everyone is superior to frost giants :(

[slyest]

Ice cream and crepes. I know of them not. Is this a common method of curing emotional distress on Midgard?

[ Loki is easily derailed by food, okay. He can't help it. ]

[slyest]

What, precisely, do you find ill with the way I speak?
