We're done, New Moore.

We're breaking up. Anything you want to call it. You've done enough.

[freezespirited]

So what are you gonna do?

[thatboyisamonster]

I am Loki. I will do what Loki does best. To expect anything else is redundant.

[freezespirited]

Do you always talk about yourself that way? Look, it's not all for naught.

[thatboyisamonster]

And how would you know, Frost?

[freezespirited]

Because, you still have a choice. Even if it seems like sand slipping through your fingers every time you're close enough to grasp what it is you're looking for, or worse, nothing at all, even if you can't believe it, you know who you are, and that means you have a purpose, and it's up to you to choose the outcome. You're Loki, for crying out loud! Give yourself more credit.

[thatboyisamonster]

Do you know what I am?

[Private]

[freezespirited]

Not as well as you know yourself. But I've done some light reading. Are we talking about you being a god, or jötunn?

Re: [Private]

[thatboyisamonster]

How do you know that?

[Private]

[freezespirited]

I've read about you? Casually. I didn't read the Poetic Edda a hundred and twenty seven times or anything. That would be weird.

Re: [Private]

[thatboyisamonster]

That piece of knowledge was never in the texts.

[Private]

[freezespirited]

I also read the Prose Edda once or twice.

Re: [Private]

[thatboyisamonster]

It was not there!

[Private]

[freezespirited]

It was in the Gylfaginning. Was it really from one side?

Re: [Private]

[thatboyisamonster]

Not here. If you wish to continue this conversation, we meet in person.

Re: [Private]

[freezespirited]

You at the apartment?

Re: [Private]

[thatboyisamonster]

Yes.

[Private --> Action]

[freezespirited]

Be there in a moment.

[It takes maybe five minutes. A cold gust of wind and handful of snowflakes signals his arrival before he even climbs through the window. He hesitates, then shuts the window for good measure to prevent their conversation from falling to any stray ears, and hops onto a chair, tiptoed on its back.]

You want a soda or anything before we start talking?

Re: [Private --> Action]

[thatboyisamonster]

Unnecessary.

[ His fingers are curled tightly around his elbows and it makes him seem stiff, but there is a violent energy in him that he's containing ]

[Action]

[freezespirited]

[He inclines his head to show he heard him. He's never seen Loki look like this before. Upset, maybe, annoyed, plenty of times, but never to this extent.]

You look like you're about to lose it. What is it?

Re: [Action]

[thatboyisamonster]

I did not know my true parentage until recently.

[Action]

[freezespirited]

...Oh. What happened?

Re: [Action]

[thatboyisamonster]

Frost Giants are not well received. They are monsters, thieves. Murderers in the night. And I was one of them.

[Action]

[freezespirited]

Why didn't you know?

Re: [Action]

[thatboyisamonster]

A parent's attempt to make his foster child feel normal.

[Action]

[freezespirited]

Huh. Who was that? I'm guessing it didn't work?
