Tenth Trick: Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

[The NV flicks on, propped up on a table, focused on Loki who sits cross legged on the floor, a baby sling across his chest. The sling is occupied by a lump that is invisible to most, save for a hot pink mohawk and a hot pink collar with a little silver hammer shaped tag dangling from it. The hellhound looks plump and happy to everyone who can see her.]

This- [He speaks with his head bent over the hellhound] -is Thora. Say hello, Thora-

[He helps her wave a faintly pink paw at the NV and she tries to nip his fingers in retaliation]

She's kind of the best hellhound ever. [In that condescending way only thirteen year old boys are capable of. And then suddenly serious, green fire in his eyes] And if anyone were to harm her, I would put their insides onto their outsides and join her in having a nibble. Just saying.

[And then that jovial demeanor returns again.] I've been learning much about the mortal world thanks to Google- the browser of webs. But so much information conflicts. I wish to know more. Midgard and humans are so different than what I always thought.

I know the things I need to know, the ah- basic subjects as I suppose they are called in school. We were taught those at an early age in Asgard, then in more useful skills as we grew older. I remember much of it.

[harriedosborn]

Oh. Then I guess you're covered.

[doeswhathewants]

For the practical things, yes.

But for the more complicated issues- what is right, what is goth, etc. Well, I suppose I can Google it on the Inter Net.

[harriedosborn]

Right and wrong aren't too difficult to figure out. It just takes practice.

[doeswhathewants]

It's the gray areas that are killer.

[harriedosborn]

Yeah. Takes some experience.

[doeswhathewants]

Oh. I have experience.

[harriedosborn]

Seems like you're handling it well.

[doeswhathewants]

Think so? Thank you.

Though it is not as though difficult choices and life altering decisions have been put before me yet.

[harriedosborn]

Don't take that for granted. They tend to snowball once they get going.

[doeswhathewants]

I shall try to keep it in mind. But forever I am Loki and that often means doing things in a way that some would consider unsavory.

[harriedosborn]

Well, really so long as you're not hurting anyone...

[doeswhathewants]

No one good anyway.

[harriedosborn]

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

[doeswhathewants]

I will allow that.
