video; how not to make an entrance

[accidents]

[ and here we have (1) count 'em one tiny tiny viking clutching like his life depended on it and standing in front of the hospital looking more or less in a state of shock.

Just mumbling to himself. Yeah, the turning-it-on part was an obvious accident ]

Wow. This is totally an okay situation.

Hand me a thing and send me off. I'm fine by the way. I'm not freaking out or anything. Thanks for the mental health consideration. Your pep talk was absolutely no help at all but I appreciate your effort which was not really an effort at all. I can contact a network. Odin help whoever thought this one up. What's a network? Gee, I don't know. You know who's fictional? You're fictional. You freaky white-wearing freak. [ something makes a sound and he jumps a little ]

That's it. I've died. It's not even Valhalla because the world is way too hot heat-wise and things are probably on fire. I'm melting. Lucky me. Fire and brimstone for you, Hiccup. It's okay we upgraded the afterlife to have odorless fire and brimstone for maximum comfort while you suffer a hysterical breakdown. Have fun with your metal abominations. We'll miss you in Berk.

I feel so honored to have this experience.

Alas, you won't be, because we're both Loki.

[thatboyisamonster]

You are an insult for all.

[badnewsboy]

You'll treat Loki with the same poison words as those who have treated you?

[thatboyisamonster]

That very question shows how little you know.

[badnewsboy]

What should I know?

[thatboyisamonster]

It's a compliment.

Go back to your brother. I've had enough of you both. You both are too adept at twisting my truths as much as I was. It's laughable how good you have become at the trade! But these word games you use to trap me are tiresome. You want evil so badly? Fine. Consider it done.

[badnewsboy]

Er, no. No evil. No one said anything about evil. Evil is not what anyone wants.

Quite the opposite.

[thatboyisamonster]

Liar. Isn't that what you call me? Evil-Self? You've proven your point. This is your victory, I suppose.

[badnewsboy]

You hardly took it so literally the last time you were here.

Why are you so intent on finding reasons for people to hate you? I am you. Why would I hate you?

[thatboyisamonster]

Thor was not here, I presume.

You being me, and I do not believe you are, does not preclude you from hate. Far from it.

[badnewsboy]

Thor was here twice before. His appearance here during this isle's event would be the third, but no one's counting!

I said I don't hate you. There may be many things I do, though, but there are a lot of things that I like, too.

Like about you.

You've quite a knack for hiding things that no one can find. You also had very good timing. You may not remember it, but you saved me once from porcelain basin prison. We even saw an animated feature together and had tea. You had no coffee, it was a bit distressing, but you wanted to know my feelings about the events that had taken place in my own world.

So I told you.

[thatboyisamonster]

Then why do you hound me? Why do you not listen?

[badnewsboy]

It's more that I know what to listen for.

[thatboyisamonster]

I'm not convinced. Keep to yourself. I want nothing to do with either of you.

[badnewsboy]

Come back.

[thatboyisamonster]

No.

[badnewsboy]

Please?

[thatboyisamonster]

No. Go away.

[badnewsboy]

I have a bar of Midgardian chocolate.

[thatboyisamonster]

. . . You're not very good at this, are you.

[badnewsboy]

It's quite a fancy bar of chocolate.

[thatboyisamonster]

I'm sure.

[accidents]

It seems like a really sincere gesture to me.

[thatboyisamonster]

Ah. . . . I suppose?

[accidents]

Not sure what a chocolate bar is but he did say it was fancy and he did compliment you before giving it as a peace offering to you. I'd take it.
