How quaint. You mean to attack my identity? I'll grant it is very unique. I'm surprised you were capable of such creativity. As I said your approach is very . . . quaint. I would consider myself impressed except you failed to follow up your own statement, which means that is your limitation. Among your many, I'm sure.

Now, let's try my approach, shall we? Either one of you explain my presence here or I will start my own attacks. And I always follow them up with something concrete.

I'm a trickster. I trick people. I'm famous for it.

I don't hate you.

[thatboyisamonster]

Not you.

And why should I believe you?

[badnewsboy]

Because I do have the ability to tell the truth. You should know that.

[thatboyisamonster]

. . . And if I do?

[badnewsboy]

I know you do.

Thor used to claim I was incapable of sincerity. It was our little joke.

[badnewsboy]

No, it's your sincerity that drives you. There are truths and lies, there are grays in-between. There are lies that come with sincerity just as there are truths.

I don't lie all the time. If I lied nearly as much as people expected of me then I'd be a fairly poor god of mischief.

And not everything requires a lie. Especially since lies cost.

[badnewsboy]

I don't hate myself. I like who I am. I like Loki.

[thatboyisamonster]

I suppose I should be grateful someone does.
