[ intro post ] we come from the land of ice and snow

[dothelokimotion]

Who: Loki + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: Marsiva
When: Right now!

[ The feed clicks on as Loki is prodding the various appliances in open curiosity before he realizes it is working. With a smirk, Loki smartly claims a seat, crossing his legs and looking smug. ]

Ah, hello. I'm thrilled to be among such a — [ His eyes flicker to the lights and his smirk drops by an iota before it comes back in full force. ] — charming establishment. But I believe you have something of mine. An acquaintance. He's rather tall, prone to running into walls and likes petting things that bite him. If you could direct him to me, I'd be most appreciative.

I have attached an artist's rendition for your perusal.

Not really, no.

[dothelokimotion]

He took up all the space in the room.

[postocular]

It's all those muscles.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki laughs despite himself. ]

Quite. Though he was rather chubby in his youth. Had a tendency to waddle.

[postocular]

I think that's just young kids in general? My little sister does that.

[dothelokimotion]

Oh? How old is she?

[postocular]

Two?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Can children walk at that age??? How do mortals age again. ]

I see. He was a little older though. In the . . . teens, I believe you call it.

[postocular]

[ Look, it's complicated and hard to tell how old she is exactly. It's a rough guesstimate. ]

He was that old and he did it?

[dothelokimotion]

He had a voracious appetite, those days.

[postocular]

Apparently it's not bullshit when parents tell their kids to eat their veggies.

[dothelokimotion]

You doubt the wisdom of your parents?

[postocular]

[ . . . .WELL. ]

Sometimes, yeah. You haven't met my dad.

[dothelokimotion]

[ laugh.gif. ]

No, I have not.

[postocular]

He's not here anymore, but he could come back.

[ And he's kind of hoping. ]

He tries, and I get it, but sometimes he makes no damn sense.

[dothelokimotion]

Parents are fallible. You've come far to recognize that.

[postocular]

Wish I knew what he was thinking sometimes, but I guess it's part of that parental 'I know best'?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki shrugs to hide his discomfort. ]

Perhaps. I'm not too familiar with the nature of fathers.

[postocular]

No? That's okay. I can imagine yours being a little more difficult to read than mine.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He huffs. ]

He was very opaque.

[postocular]

[ Was. ]

Oh. I'm sorry?

[dothelokimotion]

For what?

[postocular]

You, uh. Said he was opaque. Does that mean he's dead?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Ah. ]

Yes. He passed away recently.

[postocular]

Losing family is hard, even if you don't have the best relationship.
