un; thunderer | VIDEO

[worldsaway]

[When Thor switches the camera on, it's momentarily engulfed by his face before he sits himself back. Now that the frame isn't obscured, it's apparent that he's not the only one there. Both Lokis, Angela and Sif sit either side of him, all situated around a booth at some sort of diner.

Thor, naturally, is the first to start talking.]

It has come to light in one way or another that we could be considered Gods. [He's keeping it vague on purpose.] It is true, in a sense, that we are are not unlike higher beings. We are not mortals and we have powers and abilities beyond what many would be considered normal. The myths and the legends, however, are not precisely true.

[He just wanted to clear that up.] As such, we thought it would be prudent to offer our services in times of need. For missions or protections, we can be of use in many situations. You need only ask.

[He says we, but he largely means I.

Angela, for her part, doesn't look as opposed to the idea as she probably could.]

I will add that I will require payment for my services, but that can be negotiated at a later time.

[ She glances around the table at her siblings as if daring them to counter her.

The younger Loki leans into shot, finger raised. ]

Should you require an actual god, we come in that flavour too.

You're all Viking gods? Er- Asgardians?

[They have a fangirl. She's looking very pale and sickly, almost like a corpse at this point, but that's not stopping her dull eyes from being full of excitement and her blue lips from curling into a grin.]

I've only met Loki and... Luka, who are the rest of you?

[toopolite]

... Luka? [Or does she want to know about that. But a hand is brought to her chest, and a small nod of her head given.] I am the Lady Sif.

[burntbridges]

That's the name he gave me... the taller one beside Loki.

[It's been a very long while since she met that Loki. She wouldn't know if he's started going by anything else.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, regardless. My name is Letha.

[toopolite]

Ah. [Which, given the tone, explains everything.] That would be Loki, again.

[Because one is so fun, that why not have two.]

And I you, Letha. Where is it that you hail from?

[burntbridges]

...How odd.

[What else do you say to that?]

I come from Thornwell, in England. We have a rich history with Vikings... largely being invaded and pillaged by them. Though Thornwell was too far west to deal with much of that, if I remember my history books correctly.

[toopolite]

Odd is certainly one word for it.

[Although Sif isn't too surprised in the grand scheme of things.]

Aye. [There is a look of understanding there. Modern Earth Sif isn't overly familiar with, but in the time when they had once visited and been worshipped...] Thornwell I know not, but England itself, I can recall a time when it moved to be what it now is.

[worldsaway]

Indeed we are. I am Thor, son of Odin. We have Loki, Angela and Sif- but I am not familiar with Luka.

[Though he shoots both Lokis a look.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki shrugs as if to say what of it? as he sips his coffee. ]

[burntbridges]

Thor! The thunder god, am I correct? Ivar likes to talk about his gods - it's especially nice to meet you.

[She knows precious little about the gods from her own experience, but it's fun to listen to Ivar's stories.]

Luka was the name he gave me, but... [A small nod toward Loki.] I assume it isn't correct, given how Lady Sif reacted.

[worldsaway]

That is correct. Is Ivar a companion of yours? We've met. I consider him to be a good man.

[Thor shakes his head.] I'm certain Loki has his reasons for that.

[burntbridges]

He's my boyfriend. [And she's very, very proud.] I've heard a lot about you from Ivar's legends - although my favorites are about Loki.

[She wrinkles her nose playfully.]

How do you make it clear which Loki is which, when speaking about them?

[worldsaway]

Then you are a lucky maiden indeed, even if your taste cannot be accounted for.

[Thor shakes his head.]

I like to call them tall and small or old and young, but they seem to find it offensive.

Re: @necromantica/video

[hevenly]

Asgardian would be the correct term.

[ Angela takes offense at the idea that she is something divine. ]

[burntbridges]

Ah... I'll keep that in mind. I'm sorry.

[There's a hint of a questioning tone in her voice, since... Angela does seem upset, and Letha's not really sure why. What's wrong with being seen as a god?]

[hevenly]

[ The same thing that's wrong with being seen as an Angel when she is not that either. ]

It is forgiven.

[ video | un: trickster ]

[dothelokimotion]

Ah. I did leave that out, didn't I?

[burntbridges]

You did - and it seems you failed to give me your real name.

[Not that she's upset with him at all, she assumes he must have had a good reason.. and she's just sort of waiting to get it along with his name.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ He tilts his head in acknowledgement. ]

I am Loki. It seemed more prudent to hide my name until I was sure what the situation was like here.

[burntbridges]

[Makes sense, except...]

I'm not sure I can believe that - are you telling me that there are two separate gods named Loki?

[dothelokimotion]

Not as separate as you might think. We hail from different realities.

[ Any other explanation might be too complicated. It's hard to make people understand the concept of Loki. ]

[burntbridges]

[She thinks this over a while.... okay. That does make sense, it turns out.]

Like the two Steve Rogers. Although... you and- the other Loki... don't look nearly as similar.

[dothelokimotion]

[ He pauses, deliberating over his response ]

The look isn't important. It is the sensation you feel when we are near.

[ Like a chill to the bone. ]

[burntbridges]

Well, I do feel a general sense of companionship around the two of you.

[Is she pointedly ignoring what he means or is she simply too friendly to think of it? We'll never know.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ How even . . . ]

You must be one of the privileged then.

[burntbridges]

Am I? I always assumed the other Loki was just friendly to everyone... and you simply came off as shy.

[She's genuinely never considered the idea that there was anything wrong with either Loki - and Ivar's myths just made Loki sound cool.]
