Just a few brief questions before I send you all on your merry way.

[Brief questions? Is anything ever brief with Loki? Well he does sound a bit pressed and he has opted for audio as opposed to video and text so he might truly be a mischief maker of his word.]

Question one, do you own a weapon? If you answered yes feel free to move on to question two, if not then continue to question number three if it pleases you.

[Wait, there's a list? A list and a pregnant pause.]

And by weapon let us define it thusly: an armament used to inflict damage to structures, systems, living creatures. An object you might use in battle, hunting, crime, enforcing the law, etcetera. [Does he have to spell it out? Yes he does.]

Two. Do you have a name for your weapon? If you do feel free to share that information, I'm quite curious. If you do not I feel sorry for your weapon, if you are too shy to confess your embarrassing little secret then allow me to put you at ease: my ancestreal sword is called Laeveteinn. Now you may come out of your shell and reveal your true nerd colors or what have you, you've the agency and support.

[Though anyone who knows their Norse knows that Loki's sword Laeveteinn translates pitifully into "damage twig."]

Three. Are there mythological and/or famous weapons in the world where you come from? Again, feel free to share.

[You are in a safe space, marginally, but what exactly are you driving at, Loki?]

Oh, and finally, but entierly unrelated: is sleep really for the weak?

'Are there mythological and/or famous weapons in the world where you come from?'

( she nails his cadence but she can't do accents for love nor money, so it's just. posh girl loki. )

Yes, but not real ones. Where I come from.

One just so happens to be my ancestreal weapon.

[Without the accent it is all for naught, sadly. The accent is very important.]

Yes, we are establishing that where you come from such things are not real. That reality is only dependent upon this reality and that none of us are real.

[trouvaille]

I can't qualify every statement I make with "but it might be real for somebody else" when I'm asked about what there is for me, that's going to get silly quickly.

( having already been violently forced to reexamine reality once, she hasn't been thrilled about the second go around here, in fairness. )

I don't have any interesting weapons. My ex used to call his crowbar "legal action".

[mischiefsmith]

Fair enough, fair enough.

[A dismissive wave of tha hand.]

Leagl action? Any particular reason for the name?

[trouvaille]

That's generally what follows him getting it out.

( rowdy british celebs, man. )

[mischiefsmith]

A vigilante then.

[trouvaille]

( her choked laugh-- )

Yeah, battling the evil forces of "getting in my fucking face" and "looking at me wrong" and their compatriots, "standing too near my girl" and "being married to my mum".
