potential news leak

[liugan]

I choose not to believe it.

Everyone lies, dear writer. Do not overthink this. And do not forget the countless times you have been mistaken in the past.

...The Dark World.

Tell me, Liesmith; just where would you rate that on a 'List Of The Stupidest Things They Could Have Called This Movie?'

[liugan]

I have already come to grips with the selected subtitle.

And it is quite low.

[allmothering]

Worry not, dear one. I will always be here.

[liugan]

It is false. Meant to arouse excitement and anticipation, and nothing more.

[ but excuse him while he reaches for her hand. ]

[olympic_lion]

Well, so long as you bring flashlights.

And the Silver Arrows, of course; the Triforce is nigh-impossible to achieve without them!

[liugan]

I hardly think such would be necessary.

[olympic_lion]

Hmm, perhaps you're right; a disco ball would be better by far to disorient the denizens of such a dark dank place.

[allmothering]

[ And excuse her for taking it. ]

The mortals love to sow rumours. Pay them no heed.

[godofshawarma]

[ His jaw is tight set here for a moment, and voice comes out low but certain. ]

Rumors and hearsay, brother. We would not let such a thing come to pass. [ He says We because he knows you love momma too and don't think he doesn't see that hand holding going on ]

[liugan]

...

A disco ball.

[liugan]

I do not.

[ His grip is light, no matter how badly he wants to hold tight and never let go. ] For them to come up with an idea so blatantly false-- I would hunt them down and have them correct their words or choke on them.

[liugan]

[ The word doesn't escape him. He knows at least Thor would not-- but he knows not of his own supposed location at the time. What if he is unable? ]

I do not doubt it. [ He is not a momma's boy shut up. ]

[olympic_lion]

One must never discount the value of the absurd when planning these things, Loki lad. Just imagine the Dark Elf reaction to one of those- though admittedly, I'd want to bring a couple flares as backup.

[liugan]

I suppose there would be little to gain with the element of surprise.

[godofshawarma]

[ He pauses for a moment, voice a bit softer than the usual terseness he's had with Loki as of late ]

So you say, yet still you worry. [ Are too ]

[liugan]

[ Shut up shut up. ]

Do you not feel the same anger? The same outrage that someone would dare infer such an incident would ever occur?

[godofshawarma]

Of course, brother. But is it not what they intend in suggesting it - to bring this turmoil about?

[liugan]

Do they not deserve their comeuppance?

[godofshawarma]

Deserve, perhaps. But would it change anything? [ Thor, being the voice of reason. How things have changed. ] It's naught but words.

[liugan]

[ He pauses, considering, letting it stew for a bit. ]

Naught but words. [ Then he laughs, quietly and muttering under his breath. ] Naught ... but words.

[godofshawarma]

[ okay bro turn off the crazy for like two seconds. He gives a sigh, knowing he's doing little to actually soothe this, and is half hypocritical in as much as he'd like to give a sound bit of violence to anyone who would so much as suggest harm being brought to their mother. But here, there's little to do for it. ]

You said yourself, do not overthink it.

[liugan]

[ Nope, still going to laugh. Because it's funny. Though eventually his shoulders stop their shaking and he calms down, and he rubs his nose, looks away. Bro's a wacko, Thor. You'll have to get used to that fact eventually. ]

Oh, I'm not. [ He shrugs. Sort of a lie. ] I simply find it amusing. Lectured about words, from you.

Mere death is not the end, for Aesir.

Even if such a thing proves true, our mother is valiant; her soul will be accorded a place of honour in the halls of Valhalla.

[liugan]

Regardless of whether or not it is so permanent, it does not excuse the actions of those who would cause it.

[ofmyth]

Would our mother wish unnecessary bloodshed to come of her death?
