how bout that trailer

[lunging]

Let me see, first, if I understand.

You find out that this face—which I also like, might I add—must be changed because the man behind it has gone to another project. This upsets you, because you like my face—which I also must add is liked by most every woman I have come across. Now, however, more footage is shown, and this man picking up my mantle is nowhere to be found.

And that upsets you as well. Why? You were so ready to dislike any move he made, would you not be just as upset if he looked as poor in the part as you want him to?

[man shut up just let me be mad you weren't even in the thing come on dude don't be all hearty about this]

What you fail to realize is that it hardly matters if my face has changed. It does not matter if this new man appears too "goofy" or that his eyes are brown, not blue. What matters is only that I remain who I am, even if the face has changed. If I'm shorter or taller, if I'm fatter or thinner—though I'd like to shy away from fatter, since Volstagg would be even more intimidated by me than he already is ordinarily—or if anything else. What matters if that it's me, nothing else.

[gettin real peanuts christmas special there fandral collar that dog]

Besides, there was always the Lady Sif to see more of. How could you be upset with that?

[slyest]

And if you do not remain unchanged? What then?

[lunging]

Then I suppose there is actual reason to be upset, were I to go from who I am to something entirely different.

[If his eyes suddenly got blue again, doesn't that mean...]

Until then, I cannot see a reason to be overly aggravated. I am sure I am in the background, just not easily spotted.

[Nothing too different there, compared to Thor.]

[slyest]

Not quite the role I should expect one of the Warriors Three to assume.

[ Then again, they're all part of the background next to Thor. They always have been. That's part of the problem. ]

Perhaps it's best we not dwell unduly upon it.

[lunging]

I think it fine, honestly. Whenever we appear, we'll shine brighter for it.

[Even if people are sitting there going OH IT'S...THAT GUY...WITH DARCY?? OH WOW.]

Assuming we appear and reappear, there seems to be some speculation about...death, but that's to be expected in battle. I don't see it as anything else to be overly upset about.

[He's supposed to say something about Loki's hair, right? Isn't that how it goes?]

[6collegecredits]

And here I thought my few seconds in the trailer sucked.

But I guess given how many of us there are in this thing, it's not surprising that some of us get the shaft.

[shornhaired]

You admit to wanting to see more of me? How bold, Lord Fandral.

[ she's teasing. as usual. ]

I would like to see you squatter and rounder, if I have a choice. If only for the blow to your ego that would surely follow.

[lunging]

[don't say sucked and shaft so close to each other around playboy here

no, actually, do, he's a gentleman]

You appeared, and you'll be around. That's what should matter, is it not?

[lunging]

Perish the thought! Carrying Volstagg is challenge enough. I cannot imagine trying to carry that weight on a daily basis.

Surely you're not commenting on my girth, Lady Sif? I would never comment on yours.

[shornhaired]

[ rather than inciting her anger, she's laughing. ]

Oh, never. But at the very least, my face will remain the same. Does it rankle, dear Fandral?

[lunging]

Rankle?

[He tries to keep a straight face. Really. He really, really does. But it falls flat in the face of a smile. Oh, Sif.]

Your face could never cause me bitterness, even when you've looked down on me after beating me in a match. I can't bring myself to hold anything against you for long; have you not noticed as much by now?

[6collegecredits]

[oh my, mister fandral~]

Well, obviously. It's hard not to be a little disappointed, though.

Though, at least I got to watch Jane punch Loki in his dainty little face.

[shornhaired]

[ for a moment, her smile falters in confusion and then is back in full strength. ]

Of course. Are we not friends? Is this not the way of Thor and his companions? Regardless of this .. new Fandral, it will change nothing; we will always be friends.

[lunging]

[Oh boy, she had to bring him up, didn't she?]

I hate to sound...superior...but there's hardly any hit from an average human being that could harm an Asgardian. We're, ah...we're a bit heavy in the biological regards.

[Would you look at this guy and think he's nearly 600 pounds, Darcy? Would you?]

He was just playing along. It wouldn't be fair otherwise.

[slyest]

[ If he says something inane about the hair, Loki's leaving. He doesn't have time for that shit. ]

I doubt death will come to you, Fandral. Nor do I think it shall come for the rest of your fellows. Not yet. I think you safe for now.

[lunging]

[What Loki does with his hair is Loki's business.

Or Sif's, since she's probably still quite mad about it all.]

Are you implying you think yourself unsafe? That you might...be done away with somehow?

[lunging]

[When is Sif not at full strength? She's so hardcore it's erotic intoxicating.]

I think that is, perhaps, where most of her upset stems from. No new little pictures of me to be added on.

Or even worse, he might look better as me, and she couldn't handle that.

[slyest]

[ Sif has other things to worry about. Like that human woman moving in on her man. ]

Hardly. I'll not fall in battle to elves. I am far more skilled than that.

[lunging]

[Oh yeah because all that matters in her life is Thor's romantic interest. How could anyone forget??]

I must say, I'm quite pleased to see you again in battle. [There's something like a cringe, because isn't that memory an embarrassment for him?] Hopefully not saving me again. More of a focus on your abilities than anything else.

[odinsons]

[ it must be awesome to live in fandral's world of delusions. ]

And in what manner is Volstagg intimidated by you, my friend?

[6collegecredits]

It wasn't so much the punch as the message behind the punch. The message being: Loki sucks and Jane is pretty damn amazing.

[lunging]

[Oh please. Everyone wants Fandral's golden god-like body!]

He's very intimidated by my overwhelming charm and dashing good looks. Are you saying you've never thought, just once, about how you pale in comparison?

[FANDRAL'S THE BEST DON'T LIE even if he's basically Thor Lite shh]

[lunging]

I thought the feeling was more, I'm mad at you for trying to take over Earth and will make you recognize as much, take this hit in the name of all the mortals who fell to your scheming.

[slyest]

[ Considering how much else they've forgotten... ]

We were comrades in arms once. You've done the same in the past for me. There's no shame in having the favor returned.

[shornhaired]

Look better than you? Fandral the Dashing?!

[ she seems aghast by the thought. ]

Surely not!

[lunging]

[I'd say they need to be reminded, but it's hardly anyone else's job to educate them, gosh.]

Tricks and saving me. You deserve better than that, shown in our world. Fighting someone other than your brother.

You've abilities that have yet to be shown. I'm looking forward to it, sincerely.
