DAD Y U DO DIS dearmungandr November 18 2011, 00:45:18 UTC
[The woman crawls right into him. Jormungandr is completely baffled. He has managed to avoid the mushrooms today, because he is not the sort to go around eating something just because it's there. Well. Not here, anyway.

He bends down slightly to look at her. He recognizes her as the same woman he ran into a while ago, the woman he felt like he should have recognized for some reason. He still can't quite tell who she is, but the feeling that he should know her hasn't left.]

[That jolts Loki out of one hallucination into a state of semi-lucidity. Everything around him is still strange, but he is once more in the present, and he's just bumped into --

--Thor. Loki climbs to his feet as fast as he can, taking a nervous step backwards.]

No, Thor, whatever you're thinking, I didn't do it. I didn't! I --

[Jormungandr straightens again. Well he obviously wasn't Thor. Clearly the woman was hallucinating, like some of the others in town he had noticed.

The way she was reacting to him, though, as if he were Thor...

...this was Loki, wasn't it.

Oh no.]

[Loki reacts to something only he can hear with a feral grin.]

...so you make a liar out of me again. Murderer, yes, yes I am. I killed him, and I don't regret it. Do you hear me? I killed him, and you through him, and your family, and your precious Midgard will go up in flames and there's nothing you can do to stop it!

[Oh yeah. This is Loki. Why he is walking around as a woman is... a little unsettling. He's not going to dwell on it.

Really the fact that he's hallucinating so much is more disturbing, especially since it's making the unpredictable god even more unpredictable. And the way he was rambling... he was going to regret it later.

Jormungandr considers all of this. It might be best for him to just... keep an eye on Loki for a while. Make sure he doesn't do anything he'll regret when this wears off.]

[Suddenly, Loki's gleeful satisfaction turns to anger.]

I never wanted it! I came to Asgard to use you, nothing more. A free meal at Odin's table, lodgings with you whenever I liked, taking my way out of real work -- who wouldn't want to live like that?

I knew what I was from the beginning! I was never so deluded as to think I could be one of you. You're wrong, Thor. I lost nothing -- I never had it in the first place.

[...huh. Well this was definitely something he hadn't heard before. He knew the bare-bones basics of Loki's feelings for the Aesir, but it had all been second or third hand or more. Sea creatures could be terrible gossips.

This was the first time he had heard what Loki felt from Loki's own mouth.]

[Loki recovers a little, breaking into a dark grin.]

I'm a cold, hard-hearted man, Thor. Selfish, too. Always have been. No one's worth any more to me than what I can use them for. Asgard was no different, and you're gravely mistaken if you think so.

[If Jormungandr had been under any delusions about his relationship with his father, this might have hurt him. But he wasn't, so it didn't. He tilted his head slightly, listening with interest.]

[Loki's arms wrap around his sides, and the glare is back.]

I didn't! I never cared about that! I hated you from the moment I stepped into Asgard! Stop--stop lying, Thor, it doesn't become you.

I miss nothing.

[Jormungandr wonders what--if anything--he was supposedly saying to Loki. Loki was certainly responding as if something was being said.

He also wonders how long Loki will have this imagined conversation.]

[For a moment, Loki looks stunned. There's a flash of what might even be hurt. An instant later, though, it's replaced with hot anger.]

You betrayed me first! The second there was trouble, you turned on me! Make it right, you said, fix what you broke! But then when I was in trouble, when I needed your help, did you lift a single finger? No! Your father broke his oaths to me -- we were supposed to be brothers!

Then again, we both know how much sentiment the Allfather reserves for his brothers.

[Jormungandr's a little surprised at this. He knows the stories, he's heard the prophecies, but the resentment and anger is... it's interesting to witness.]

I only repaid you for your betrayals! I threw my pride to the winds time and time again for your sakes, and you repaid me with scorn and threats. You're hypocrites and oathbreakers, every last one of you! You deserve Ragnarok! And I will bring it to you!

[Oh look. That's definitely a deadly-looking sword on the ground. It couldn't be a broken branch, it's shiny and has sharp edges and is decidedly sword-shapes. Loki stoops to pick it up, then lunges at Jormunandr Thor with a yell.]

[Oops. Jormungandr will just step to the side to dodge that. The branch might brush against him a bit, but it's just a stick, and it will only catch on his shirt and scratch him a bit.

He sighs. As interesting as it is to hear his father's true feelings about... everything... the part where he picks up a branch and tries to attack him with it is just ridiculous.]
