The HS Maldua

[thespaceopera]

[Well, it's finally happened. The Maldua has docked and now is your chance to deliver your gumball cargo--regardless of whether or not it's in perfect condition, it would seem.

Multiple ships can dock on the Maldua at once, as can individual shuttles. So whether you're helping, breaking things, or watching others do all the work--interaction can be between pretty much anyone, not just crews.

Here's the event post, for reference. Have fun!]

[precedented]

I agree.

[ But he has to play by fate's rules in order to send it into chaos. ]

But it is easier said than done. The doing is what demands the most out of us.

[complicatedliar]

And no thanks to be had for it.

[He's certain if he throws the universe on its head, Asgard won't be thanking him at all. Even if there's something almost altruistic to his reasoning these days.]

[precedented]

Thanks are unnecessary.

[ He doesn't care for them or to be appreciated. It might grate later on, but he's hardly going to expect anyone to thank him for saving humanity. ]

[complicatedliar]

[So very, very dryly:] Neither is sex, but I enjoy that as well when it's on offer.

[precedented]

[ He rolls his eyes. ]

I'm sure you do like the chase. And I have no doubts you have a lot of experience there.

[ With a smirk. ] But I still outrank you.

[complicatedliar]

[Primly:] A gentleman doesn't kiss and tell.

Oh spare me, Leto. Unless you're hiding the title of Golden Tongue in your pocket, I won't yield that to you.

[precedented]

I'll let you know when I see one around.

[ He shrugs. ] Yield or not, I believe it is a truth that Loki has yet to change.

[complicatedliar]

Rude. How are you so very rude? [This is why he likes you. Sometimes.]

Your word against that of an honest liar. I'll trust my own without better proof. [Whatever, human boy.]

[precedented]

Because I am immutable. I have no constraints except for the ones I put for myself. I can do whatever I want.

[ Well. Yes and no. His rules, his code is firm. Leto won't break it, not even for himself. But his code is secret, hidden. No one knows it. ]

As you should.

[complicatedliar]

That doesn't sound terribly fun, as sex goes. [A bit creepy, even, depending upon interpretations.]

Though I'll grant you're probably better by yourself.

[precedented]

Who said anything about sex?

Better or worse are cheap concepts.

[complicatedliar]

I did, before you decided to have your own conversation without inviting anyone else.

Subjective. Not cheap. I've found being the subject to be a very dear thing indeed.

[precedented]

What did you expect?

[ Leto baits but he rarely invites anyone in. ]

You did always enjoy the attention.

[complicatedliar]

I try to expect nothing of others. That way I am rarely disappointed.

[Indeed, Leto, you're a master baiter.]

Like any cat, I purr or sharpen my claws as it suits me, to my design alone.

[precedented]

[ He's faintly bemused. Purr and sharpen his claws? ]

You're likening yourself to a cat? It's not very grandiose.

[complicatedliar]

You must not have known many cats. [He also has that tendency to vengefully piss on things...]

[precedented]

I cannot say I see many cats in the desert, no.

[ The last giant cat tried to kill him. ]

[complicatedliar]

My observation suggests that humans in generally love the little nightmares. Judging by the contents of their various networks.

[precedented]

I've never been one for pets. I prefer the wildness in creatures.

[complicatedliar]

I've no use for most of them, but cats are their own sort of special case.

[And Loki's got enough wildness of his own sort.]

[precedented]

[ He's never thought of pets before. Ghanima was the only companion he has ever needed. ]

I suppose we look for company anywhere.

[complicatedliar]

They aren't the best conversationalist, but I've never had one attempt to lecture me on morality either. [He values a bit of peace on occasion.]

But yes, as it comes.

[precedented]

I can't imagine who would do that.

[ Lecturing Loki seems like a poor way to spend time. ]

[complicatedliar]

Is your imagination really so limited as that?

[precedented]

[ He clicks his tongue. ]

Perhaps. No one has accused me of having a large imagination. Simply a deadly one.
