What would you consider to be unforgivable?

I was adopted into his family.

[billyrocks]

Adopted, yes. That was the word I was looking for.

But that's still no excuse for such talk.

[dothelokimotion]

He didn't know. Neither of us.

And when we learned the truth, the damage was done.

last tag before bed~

[billyrocks]

[He's curious about the exactly the "damage" was, but Billy knows better than to ask those sort of questions.]

Probably doesn't mean much on this text thing, but I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Although, I still think it was wrong even though he didn't know.

sleep well!

[dothelokimotion]

[ It's an odd sentiment. People thinking that. He doesn't know what to make of it. Loki is very used to being told that it meant little, that he was simply making it up in his head. ]

That's how it was among all of them.

[billyrocks]

Them?

[dothelokimotion]

The Asgardians. My people, after a fashion.

[billyrocks]

Wait, Asgardians? Like Asgard? Home to the Nordic gods?

[dothelokimotion]

Yes.

I am Loki, God of Mischief.

[billyrocks]

I’ll be damned. And here I thought you were just a name in the stories my friend would tell me.

[Billy had been illiterate before coming to the Quarantine, so the only reason he knew certain myths and books was because people like Goody and the Master’s young son would read to him, or pass the stories down by word of mouth.]

If we’d been anywhere but here, I wouldn’t have believed you so easily.

[dothelokimotion]

That hardly bothers me.

[ What people believe is up to them. ]

But my brother and I have resided here for some time.

[billyrocks]

How’s that been working for you two?

I’ve been here for about nine months now. Still no sight of anyone I know from home, though.

[Damn. Had it already been that long?]

[dothelokimotion]

It seems to be fine for now. Time rarely matters to us.

[billyrocks]

Who is your brother anyway?

[The mortal legends passed down in Billy's world didn't explicitly state Loki as one of Thor's brothers.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ he realized, too late, that maybe this isn't a subject he should be speaking of, anymore. it had been habit, but it's a habit he should learn to break.

thor should disown him. disavow him. loki should make sure of that. ]

Thor.

[billyrocks]

Thor? God of Thunder? Has a hammer with a name that I can't spell? That Thor?

[dothelokimotion]

The one and the same.

[billyrocks]

[Although this is text, Billy's got a feeling he should try to steer the conversation in a more light-hearted direction..]

Then I have another question. There's many stories about you two in my world, but there is one that I remember the best out of them all.

Is it true that Thor once had to dress up in a bridal gown, and you as his handmaiden?

[You're welcome for the images.]

[dothelokimotion]

People don't bring up that story very often. Which I always found disappointing.

[billyrocks]

Really? I figured this would be a question you often hear.

So you're not denying it?

[dothelokimotion]

Why would I?

[billyrocks]

If you're saying that, then I guess it's mostly a mortal concern. If I had asked a mortal man the same question, I'm sure he would have denied it until his last breath. If he was from my time period, at least.

[He's noticed how the dress code in the Quarantine has been more flexible for all people.]

[dothelokimotion]

We don't renegade on the stories told. They exist and should continue to do so. After all, truth is a strange thing to a god as is memory.

[billyrocks]

Truth can be just as strange to humans.

Some days, I still find it hard to believe that I'm here, alive and well.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Ah . . . ]

You perished?
