What would you consider to be unforgivable?

[apt666]

Interesting. So what are you the god of?

[dothelokimotion]

I am the God of Mischief, Loki.

[apt666]

[ Consider Ryo interested. He takes a moment. This is really the only place he'd get to encounter gods. He's also interested how one can be so free with sharing this. He's always felt the best way to get what he wants was to not share that he's Satan. Unfavorable mythology worked against him. ]

You're the first of your type I've encountered. You are just a creature of stories where I am from. But. I guess all gods and God are stories where I'm from.

[dothelokimotion]

We tend to cultivate our mythos. There is no point in dismissing it.

[ Which is why he never corrects the stories. ]

[apt666]

No, no, of course not. My curiosity insists I ask - what sort of things can you do? You don't have to answer, of course. My understanding, from others with abilities, that some have been a bit reduced while here.

[ He knows his own were rather reduced. And, he mostly doesn't expect Loki to answer, but - Ryo is the type who will try to find out what he can just through talk. HE's good at talk. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ hmmm ]

That would be correct. Normally such a place would not hold me for long.

[apt666]

[ Likewise. It almost comes out, but he has enough to him that he's not talking about who he is with someone he barely met. ]

If I didn't want to be here, that would be alarming that it manages to contain a god. I have to say, of the ones I studied, I've always been a fan of yours.

[dothelokimotion]

Oh? Why is that?

[apt666]

There's so much more to a well-executed plan than simply smacking a nail with a hammer. Tricksters teach there's more ways to success and not everyone has to like the method.

[ He relates. ]

[dothelokimotion]

I do enjoy fostering chaos where I can.

[apt666]

It takes someone extremely clever to do that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Flattery huh? ]

I try not to boast. My reputation holds strong after all.

[apt666]

No, of course not. The curse and blessing of being recognizable.


[ And a bit of a personal ego boost. ]

[dothelokimotion]

You sound familiar on the subject.

[apt666]

[ Ryo is laughing on the other side. The joy of text it lets him take a moment to gather thoughts. Loki nailed it. Still, he knows the perception of who he is. So, he's careful. He doesn't know who is watching.]

Only vaguely, of course. A human couldn't fully get it, I imagine. Popularity and fame are different from having stories told about you for generations.

[dothelokimotion]

[ An odd turn of phrase. ]

Are you not human then?

[apt666]

I am. I can't fully get it.

[ Talking about how he's Satan isn't really first conversation material. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ it wouldn't mean much to loki anyway. ]

Do you wish to?

[apt666]

To understand it fully? I can't say I do wish to.

[dothelokimotion]

Why not?

[apt666]

I'm okay with remaining an unknown.

[dothelokimotion]

Is your reputation so fearsome?

[apt666]

My reputation of being an eighteen year old college professor? Known for my work in my field. Yes. Fearsome.

[ This is what most people knew him as Ryo for, after all... Half-lying to the expert of lying? Yeah. He'll do that. Why not. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ how old do professors have to be. if loki knew anything about ages, he'd be able to tell. ]

And what is your field?

[apt666]

Archaeology. History. With a touch of world religions and mythology. For fun. No need wasting my time on things I don't enjoy.
