ORB: 10 of Rebirth's Height

[sorcerous]

[ See Loki. See Loki in a nature-esque background that's fairly rocky, a bit hilly, but also very generic. Could be anywhere. Could totally be a place that is not on a mountainside where one would go and seek some dragons.

See Loki's horse, dappled and dark and very skittish, at the moment. He cuts a regal figure on her, straight-backed, strong; he handles her skittish movement with an easy hand. ]

My brother -- Thor -- has arrived. I suppose you will greet him, Sif, if you have not already. To you, and to the rest who fancy themselves heroes: know that I will be watching your moves with great interest.

But I no longer count myself among you.

[ This is the closest Loki will get, at this moment, to a declaration of villainy.

ooc: I cannot stress enough that Loki is being a douchebag and is wrong about basically everything. ]

Depends on what crowd you're talking about. The people here need help. I don't agree with their methods of getting that help, but they're desperate and in trouble.

If it's the heroes you're talking about...they're trying to do the right thing. Guess that can seem stupid to some people.

[sorcerous]

You know nothing of this place, and you know nothing of its troubles. What hubris is it to believe that you will be the one to save them?

[ Pot, kettle, black; Loki had exactly that hubris when he arrived. ]

[like_a_gerbil]

[Loki was going to have to find another kettle for that comparison since Steve had never considered that he was the hero that was needed.]

You're right about one thing. I don't know anything about this place. But you're wrong about the hubris. I don't believe I'm the one that'll save them. It doesn't matter who saves them as long as they're saved.

They need my help and I'll give it to them because it's the right thing to do not because I'm looking for glory.

[sorcerous]

Glory you have, though much good it does you. Glorified by peasants. Glorified by idiots.

I do not care for what is right.

[like_a_gerbil]

Seems like you're making a lot of assumptions without a lot of facts.

[Laughing quietly, he can't help thinking about those USO shows and the comic books he'd been the reluctant subject of.] I've had glory before. Didn't want it then. And I don't want it now.

I dunno how Thor figures into this, but it's too bad that you've decided not to help when it sounds like you were before.

[sorcerous]

You say his name as though he is your friend.

[like_a_gerbil]

Actually, I just met him.

[sorcerous]

Then you are too friendly, and would do well to guard yourself.

[like_a_gerbil]

What should I guard against, sir?
