orb ; rebirth 12th

[sorcerous]

[ Loki is lit by firelight; shadow and flame reflect in his eyes, glittering cool in the light. ]

Ah, heroes. Must you be so idle? Will you tarry away your days with young maidens, with your squabbles and your delays? You are home no longer. There is a kingdom for you to save.

Then -- perhaps I will take advantage of your laxness. It will not be so difficult to tempt a maiden or two away from her humble home, will it? And who knows what horrors I may subject them to.

Beware, for now there is a sorcerer that lurks here.

[ And video off.

Loki laughs, as soon as the orb is extinguished; it pleases him to take responsibility for the shadowy appearances around Schwanheim. If Thor is to suspect him, Loki may as well confirm it; in the meantime, perhaps Loki will stir the heroes to action.

Loki himself, of course, is nearly at the thorns. He wants to speak with them. ]

If you like.

[ yep. exactly this. ]

I am not interested in your games. You might like to play at being a villain but I have to get back to Cephiro while there is still time.

I don't know what made you decide to take this path but making things more difficult for everyone won't gain you anything. Give this up now before some thing actually happens.

[sorcerous]

Come for me, then. Chase that shadowy figure, and find him, and pin him down and grind him into dust.

Have yourself a victory.

[for_that_i_run]

That isn't what I want.

[Besides chasing a shadowy figure was bad strategy. It was a fleeting thought, one that he hoped he would not have to think more about.]

I don't see why we should be enemies. You have nothing to do with my goals.

[sorcerous]

Are yours the ones that matter?

And what of mine?

[for_that_i_run]

I will admit it is a selfish wish on my part, but it is something I want more than anything else.

[So yes... basically. His goals matter more. :P ]

[sorcerous]

You do not exist alone. There are a thousand intentions and thoughts and goals that shape the world around you.

[for_that_i_run]

And those people will fight for what they believe in as strongly as I will.

[He fully expects them to at least. ]

With all this talk of goals I am a little curious just what your goal might be?

[sorcerous]

I imagine you are.

[for_that_i_run]

I didn't think you would say, but it would have been impolite to not at least ask.

[sorcerous]

Consider that if this were an honest post, I would have no motivations to hide.

You are at the thorns, are you not? Perhaps we will meet again soon.

[for_that_i_run]

Maybe, but as I said I do have something else to do.
Will you be arriving soon? If not we might miss seeing each other.

[sorcerous]

Or you may not recognize me.

[for_that_i_run]

I suppose that could happen too.
