What would you consider to be unforgivable?

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.

[dothelokimotion]

So you play at being mortal?

[apt666]

I think you got the wrong idea. I am mortal.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't think I have.
