What kind of stories did you grow up with?

What kind of myths and fairy tales were you told?

Not as much as the people and things he left behind. My kind...we're the monsters that people fear in my world. But...I don't let it get to me much anymore. My powers are useful in helping save people, so I try to use them for only that.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Ugh ]

Why? You owe them nothing.

[mysophobic]

I know and you're right. But...to treat them badly won't do anyone any good. It would only hurt and make the fragile bond that's barely there even thinner.

For the future generations of us...I just don't see a point in not helping those who need, Phrobiests or not.

[dothelokimotion]

I do not understand helping those who would prefer to help themselves at the expense of others.

[ It's not entirely true, but it's close. This topic is an open wound, one Loki has never quite stemmed. ]

I do not understand any of it.

[mysophobic]

It is strange, isn't it? Sometimes I wonder myself why I help those who hate us or use us for nothing more than personal gain. But then I...realize that doing harm and hurting people would only make us the true monsters that they fear.

[ It's just something he's thought about for a long time. ]

It's different of course for everyone but...if we have gifts and powers that can help people it's better to help then to harm. At least that's what I believe.

[dothelokimotion]

It never matters. They'll still see monsters. They see nothing else.

[ No one had understood, no one heard him. It was expected, but he was tired of hearing people say it can be different. ]

[mysophobic]

I guess you're right, in some people at least. Other people can change though. I've...seen it myself.

But it's not always perfect and picturesque like that. Still I can't deny people treatment because of their ideals or thoughts of my kind.

[dothelokimotion]

They may change.

Monsters do not.

[mysophobic]

That's not...true. I don't believe that at all.

Anyone who's given a second chance and some kind of retribution can change.

[dothelokimotion]

Then you are a fool as well. Do you really think nature can be so easily determined?

[mysophobic]

No I don't think that at all. But I also don't believe that people can't change themselves if they really try to.

[dothelokimotion]

Fighting your nature day in and out seems horribly tiresome.

[mysophobic]

If you don't have support to do so, then maybe it is. But if you have people there that care about you I think it would be pretty easy.

[dothelokimotion]

And if I don't?

[ It's not true, of course, but in Loki's mind, he is always alone. Always fighting for a scrap and more. ]

[mysophobic]

[ Ah. Shigeru has had the same thoughts before as well. Feeling like he was alone and had no one to depend on when he was at his lowest. He can't just leave someone like that alone, not when he knows how it feels. ]

...seeing as how we're similar maybe we could help each other out then? Sticking together in this place isn't such a bad idea either.

[dothelokimotion]

[ Loki's frown thickens. ]

I have no reason to trust you. Similarities or not. If anything, they are more of a reason not to mix.
