Hello there, young padawans. [Her voice is flat, almost to the point of disinterest.] I've been skulking about for a few days and I'll cut straight to the point: I'm pretty sure that I'm ready to leave now. [More emotion starts to present itself; frustration with the slightest trace of anger.] I get the whole "stuck" thing, but that's always such crap. Someone's usually behind that and they'll usually fold if approached the right way -- which in my case may very well be with a fist.

[She lets a little huff of air out, almost a laugh.] But I'm getting ahead of myself. So, how about this! I'll even be a good sport about it (if you could see me, I am smiling and not going to press any sort of interdimensional charges on you, I promise). I'm a busy woman with a cat to feed and a teenage cousin to roll my eyes at back home. Send me to my San Francisco and I'll forget this ever happened.

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather skip that part and just go straight for the good stuff. Immortals are all well and fine, but I generally stray from divine anything, particularly wrath. The Spectre's not really my type, but his human host once upon a time was totally gorgeous -- unfortunately Corrigan was about as dull as dirt, particularly in regard to the weird and wonderful. [She stops herself before she gets too chatty.]

I wish you luck with that. My suggestion would be to avoid the situation entirely, maybe just go for well-dressed and clean. [Says the one who slept with a guy covered in his own vomit. Wow, maybe she should take her own advice?]

Oh, I wouldn't write 'em off altogether. Great stamina, attention to detail, capable of the physically impossible... they've got a lot of handy little abilities that come in real handy. Especially the ones with more than two hands.

[She can probably hear the leer.]

But hey. I guess if you like your men frail and boring, who am I to judge.

I live in a world full of impossibly attractive men. I generally prefer the world-weary middle-aged with a somewhat average build sort. But I'll take impossibly attractive in the meantime.

[It was palpable.]

I like men that don't expect a long-term relationship, although I don't necessarily mind that potential.

Well, by some happy coincidence, I happen to know a guy who'd be just your type. Quick question, what're your thoughts on height?

[hexappeal]

No one under five-eleven. Five-ten is pushing it.

I'd be careful what holes you dig yourself into. You might not like where you end up when you're stuck.

[hung_garian]

Y'know, you might have a point there. I got my foot stuck in a rabbit hole once and I had to stay there for nearly three days before eventually I decided enough was enough and sawed through my ankle with a penknife.

You're either a really bad liar or really awful at sarcasm.

I can't decide which is more disappointing.

audio

[hung_garian]

Personally I'm inclined to say it's a bit of both, but hey, you're the expert.

audio

[hexappeal]

On lying, sarcasm, and disappointment, mind you.

[hung_garian]

I'm not gonna lie, you should probably work on expanding your skillset. That wouldn't look too good on a CV.

[hexappeal]

I wouldn't know, I've never had to write one.

[hung_garian]

Well, it's alright for some.

[Not that he has either, admittedly.]

[hexappeal]

I don't imagine I'll be needing to write one anytime soon, but that's good to know.

I'm afraid I have no intention of scribbling down my work history like... oh, ever.

[hung_garian]

Lemme guess, it'd get you arrested? Mine would, anyway. But hey, it'd make for interesting memoirs... at least so long as they were published posthumously.

[hexappeal]

Some of it might, but I wouldn't call that "work" so much as "self-servicing hobbies," in that case.

That's why you publish the boring details while you're alive and spend several weeks at the top, like I did.

[hung_garian]

What if there are no boring details?

[hexappeal]

Then I'm going to call bullshit on you being Loki as in the. If you can't lie your way to the New York Times' bestseller list, then who can?

[hung_garian]

Okay, you know so much about me, tell me why Loki would want to make up boring details. I'm the god of mischief, not the god of tax evasion.

[hexappeal]

Because you're an asshole.

[hung_garian]

Point.

[hexappeal]

See? I told you.

[hung_garian]

And I'm duly impressed.

[hexappeal]

I know. I tend to do that to people.

[hung_garian]

Oh, I bet you do.

[hexappeal]

You're laying it on awfully thick for only ever having spoken to me. I know my voice is something of melodic beauty, but you never know what's on the other end...
