Action - Marsiva(ish)

[angelofthevored]

Who: Loki (dothelokimotion); Thor (rebuildyourruins); Kaworu (paraclete); Eizen (rockily); Castiel (angelofthevored)
Broadcast: Nada
Action: A transport ship >> Marsiva (outer space) to do some junk
When: Sometime during the weekend of 5/18

[It's a ship full of dumb immortal assholes who are not only tired of sitting around, but are fundamentally sorta bad at it.

Except for Kaworu, primordial stoner. And Loki, provided there's some community theater to behold.]

He's your brother, no matter what? [That's not what Cas is used to hearing from gods, that's for sure.] Even if he were to betray you? Or try to kill you?

[rebuildyourruins]

[Thor simply tips his head to the side, eyebrows raised.]

Oh, he has done both those things, on many occasions.

[angelofthevored]

[If you thought you were getting rapt attention before, that's nothing compared to this laser-like focus.] And you still call him family? You'd lay down your life for him? Even if he hasn't earned your favor back?

[rebuildyourruins]

What makes you think he hasn't?

[A little more firmly said. Though Thor dislikes thinking of it in those terms. It's never a question he's posed to himself, because he doesn't have to.]

I choose who deserves my favour. And yes, I would defend him with my life.

[angelofthevored]

[He hadn't really been implying Loki hadn't- honestly, most of the time he and Loki talk, the conversation always steers back around to Castiel, and he's very sure that's entirely on purpose on Loki's part.

But truthfully, he's surprised. Not because they're gods, because gods can form close relationships though...not like humans do, in Castiel's experience. It's more that he hasn't seen this sort of loyalty from many people, except for...]

No wonder he cherishes you.

[rebuildyourruins]

[That, finally, seems to startle Thor into silence. He casts a look at Loki, an oddly thoughtful furrow in his brow.]

[angelofthevored]

His demeanor changed when I mentioned my own brother. He became more interested in me and more forthcoming with information, though I could hear the conflict in his voice. [Tucks his hands into his coat pockets, watching Thor watch Loki.] I didn't know why until I met you. He made it clear that he thinks of himself as an intruder in his home and believes that he is, if not deserving of, at least fated to a messy end. And yet, here he is.

With you at his side. [Cas is under no impression that Loki came along as a favor to him. He's pretty sure Loki meant what he said; wanted to find out things for himself, was tired of being jerked around. But if Loki truly hated his brother, they wouldn't be in this ship together. At least, that's how Cas understands it.]

[rebuildyourruins]

[Ah. It's not as though Thor has never known of these things, or hasn't suspected them. But he and Loki don't talk about it. Talking at all is a struggle on the best of days, and on the worst of days Thor's just as likely to end up with a knife in the side for his trouble.

Thor rests his chin on his fist, looking away from Loki at last. It will not go down well if Loki thinks they're talking about him.]

In the end, that's his choice to make. I cannot make it for him. ...I am just glad that he chose to come back.

[Thor doesn't imagine it will be forever. The days of certainty are long gone. He doesn't so much trust his brother as hope he will be able to again, someday. He would be lying if he said he wasn't grateful to have Loki around now, though.]

[angelofthevored]

[Well, whatever. Sam and Dean not telling each other things is like the root of 85% of their problems, so fuck that.

But Cas isn't here to play therapist to two gods he barely knows, no matter his interest in their lives.] Are you unclear on any part of the plan?

[rebuildyourruins]

No, it is all straightforward enough. Attack the Marsiva, save Winchester if we breach the hull.

[angelofthevored]

Yes. [nod nod] Sam is mortal. He won't survive decompression, so if you should find him please let me know immediately. [Worse comes to worst, Cas will ask Sam permission and ride him long enough to get him to safety.]

[rebuildyourruins]

[Thor just nods. He's familiar with human limitations.]

[angelofthevored]

Thor...thank you. [He knows he didn't twist anybody's arm to do this and that everyone's looking for their own thing, but at the same time,] I'm in your debt.

[rebuildyourruins]

[He just smiles, and smacks Castiel on the shoulder.]

Happy to help.
