So what are you gonna do when they outlaw all that superheroin' nonsense you all lowe so damn much?

[to his credit, he's trying to sound grave. (it isn't working.)]

We take this - and we're goin' to, since we got such big pushers for mustard-bellied diplomacy in charge around here - they ain't gonna be satisfied 'til they got us all on leashes. And at the first signs a dissent, they're gonna hang us by 'em. I sure hope you lot can handle the usage a our powers bein' a criminal offense, since that's the next thing to go. A Wulcanus gun in ewery Natiwe hand and a trackin' chip in ewery filthy imPort, right?

[a ~~theatrical~~ pause. contrary to his usual habit of getting worked up in his tirades, eridan's been very calm (albeit smug in his "my unreasonable paranoia was entirely justified" kind of way) but no less intense throughout.]

We start goin quietly into that good fuckin' nocturnal phase and we aint newer gonna stop.

Most prefer comfort to a challenge. 'Tis disappointing, perhaps, but not unexpected.

Fuckin' ridiculous. Nobody a note newer got nowhere just sittin' pretty and lettin' others change the tides a fate for 'em.

You'd think with all a these egos and homicidal impulses flyin' about that we wouldn't be in this situation. Gettin' needled like such, I mean; you think they would of razed a country or somethin' to show we ain't playin' games here.

Ah, but those homicidal implulses! If you are driven to the close kill, then it is much more satisfying to slay a few than slay a thousand. [Not that Loki would know about this! He is reformed. Just hypothetically speaking.]

But you are right. It is quite curious, how resigned we are to this. We need not be.

We got the numbers. We could take anybody if we just worked together.

Hell, we could probably take ewerythin' until we started killin' each other off. Let the animals be satisfied with killin' a few and leawe the world changers to slaughter by the thousands until the political assassinations started goin' down and it all fell to shit. Better than what we got comin' to us now.

There is power aplenty, but power is naught without inspiration.

Are you suggesting an armed rebellion?

A course not. That'd be illegal.

[he sneers the word.]

I'm sayin' we be real careful in the next couple a months when it comes to what we let 'em get away with is all.

So, are you calling for caution or calling for action? [Loki thinks armed rebellion would be kind of funny.]

Whichewer comes first. Though I guess if I gotta pick, I'm mostly callin' for attention. Those shady fucks up at City Hall ain't gonna be able to get away with sellin' us out if we're all watchin'.

...And if push comes to showe, I wouldn't be too adwerse to another riot or three.

I am sure that now the mortals are paying attention to something.

Yeah, they're -

[BEAT.]

..."Mortals".

I'm glad we agree.

You ain't got some weird kinda immortal bullshit workin' for you, by chance?

I mean, I got a fuckin' millennia in me and I don't go around callin' the humans by that. Often.

I am Loki, as I have ever been Loki, as ever I shall be.

I ain't from around here, so you're goin' to hawe to fill me in.

[How insulting :|]

I am the god of mischief and trickery. [And lies… and evil… but we're leaving those out.]

What, you got fancy powers ower it or somethin'?

[the rudeness continues in droves]

Of a kind. [GROWING BORED OF YOU NOW ERIDAN]

You're a god, and you got god powers ower mischief and shit.

You got history in conquerin' shit, or are those powers a yours just for show?

[because obviously if you have super cool powers you should violently oppress others with them.]

I am Prince of Asgard and of Jotunheim. I have no need to conquer what is mine by right. And I see no need to bleed realms that hold no interest for me. [Like this one.]
