What would you consider to be unforgivable?

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?

[billyrocks]

Yes. In a painful way, too. Gatling gun put a bunch of holes through me.

[This is something he doesn't mind sharing, or at least, not as much as when he first arrived and needed time to process everything. He died. It happened, but that was in the past now, strange as it sounded.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki isn't familiar with a Gatling gun but weapons are weapons. He doesn't need to know all the details. ]

Do you have a lot of regrets from your passing?

[billyrocks]

As a matter of fact, not too many. With the lifestyle I had, I figured I probably wouldn't live to see old age. I got to see many places and do things most people in my position could only dream of. And I was free.

[He didn't die in the peasant village he was born and raised in, and he didn't die a manservant.]

But the biggest regret I have is me being the only one here from my group. It just doesn't feel right.

[dothelokimotion]

I have died many times.

But I suppose I should be grateful that I've never died alone.

[billyrocks]

I've heard people say that gods can't die permanently. Is it frightening each time, or do you get used to it?

[There's a small pause before the next text comes in.]

I wasn't all alone when I died, there was one other, but he didn't come through the portal with me.

cw: suicide idealisation

[dothelokimotion]

I couldn't say.

[ Mostly because both times, he had no real desire to survive. The third time was different and that's why it hurt.]

I had little fear of death, I suppose.

[billyrocks]

I imagine a god wouldn't fear death since they are immortal.

[With this being text, Billy can't hear the implication behind those words, which was one of the reasons he didn't like texting. He couldn't read a person's body language, or see the look in their eyes, or hear their tone of voice.]

[dothelokimotion]

No, we do not. But perhaps we are lacking in that area.

[billyrocks]

How so?

[dothelokimotion]

We would appreciate our time more if we felt it closing.

[billyrocks]

Isn't it better to have all the time in the world to do the things you wish?

[dothelokimotion]

Do you think so?

How long do you think such things will last? Because time outlives it all.

[billyrocks]

It's just something I've heard a lot of people wish for back home. The idea itself sounds great, but there's always a catch.
