I'll give you that. [She's generous with gods like that and it aligns with her own linguistic knowledge which is pretty good for a human but not on par with an Asguardian.]

So, which is strangest to you, Loki? [She already recognizes him from before and isn't actually aware he left and returned without memories.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ His eyes narrow briefly. ]

In terms of the ship names or something else?

[passingthrough]

Well, I meant ship names, but if you want to throw something else out I won't stop you. You've probably seen a lot of strange.

[dothelokimotion]

To some degree, yes.

Personally, I'm surprised no one has contested the names before.

[passingthrough]

I teased Remy about being on the Wonderduck back when he actually was on the Wonderduck. I haven't registered any formal complaints to the cruise directors.

[dothelokimotion]

I suppose there's little point in screaming to a group of unknown dictators.

[passingthrough]

I've never found it to help much. Though my last mysterious overlords sometimes acquiesced to flattery.

[dothelokimotion]

There seem to be a few consistently present in various realities.

[ The Grandmaster was one too, technically. ]

[passingthrough]

Seems like it. More than I was expecting. My world had a despot trying to rule or destroy everything, but he wasn't all that mysterious or troublesome to locate.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki shrugs. ]

It's thematic, but rarely original.

[passingthrough]

True. He was definitely just 12-upping [when one-upping isn't enough] jerks from history. And elsewhere in the galaxy.

[dothelokimotion]

Who was this?

[ Not that Loki cares, but he's curious. ]

[passingthrough]

Apocalypse. At least that's what he went by. His original name as far as we know is En Sabah Nur.

[dothelokimotion]

Ah. Suitably dramatic.

[ Who names themselves Apocalypse? It's almost as bad as the other superhero names they tout around. ]

[passingthrough]

Right? I went with Shadowcat, but at least I was only fourteen.

[dothelokimotion]

Age is a reasonable excuse.

[passingthrough]

Thank you. I mean maybe he named himself at thirteen too. Just a little kid running around with dreams of destroying everything utterly.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Blandly. ]

We all have our hobbies.

[passingthrough]

It's not exactly like taking up hacky sack or cross-stitch.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He blinks. ]

I have no idea what those are.

[passingthrough]

Random hobbies? You didn't have macaroni art or something in Valhalla or wherever?

[dothelokimotion]

Valhalla is our conceptualization of Heaven.

So no.

[passingthrough]

Hey, right general vicinity. [ish.] What did you call home?

[dothelokimotion]

[ Hm. ]

It was known as Asgard.

[passingthrough]

Oh right, that's what it was. I guess it must really be a place back home too.
