I think you must be from a different world. I haven't heard of any Norse gods coming to Earth. Just some of the New Gods and the Greek Gods, and those usually just had Wonder Woman be their representative instead of coming themselves.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he shakes his head slowly. ]

If the story exist, then the possibility exist. They may have simply chosen not to return.

[qualityfriend]

That's true. And if they haven't sent any hero representatives, they also haven't sent any trouble our way.

[dothelokimotion]

That's for the best, I find. Gods need not meddle with mortals.

[qualityfriend]

Well, sometimes it's better if they do, when their ancient enemies are already messing with Earth. Or when you're stuck among us, like you are right now.

[dothelokimotion]

[ hmm. ]

Do you really think it's better?

[qualityfriend]

I mean, the alternative probably would've been Darkseid conquering Earth. And three League members are New Gods who wouldn't have joined if they hadn't gotten involved.

[dothelokimotion]

Would Darkseid have come if there were no higher powers on Earth?

[qualityfriend]

I think so. He was looking for... something that could help him control everything, not rival higher powers. At that point Superman was the only one on Earth, anyway, and the next time he tried to enslave Superman, he just brainwashed him.

[dothelokimotion]

I see.

This is an interesting case. Usually, Earth is left alone unless higher powers meddle with it.

[qualityfriend]

I guess technically Superman is a higher power who meddled with Earth, but his world was destroyed and he's lived his whole life here- there. Only fanatics say he should leave.

[dothelokimotion]

[ ah. he does feel a brief pang for this . . . superman. ]

I lost my planet recently as well.

[qualityfriend]

Oh, I'm sorry. And... I take it you're reluctant to make a new home on Earth? Or anywhere among mortals?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki pauses, choosing his words carefully. ]

Yes. My . . . brother loved mortals a lot more than I did.

[qualityfriend]

Was... was he killed, when your planet was destroyed?

[dothelokimotion]

. . . No. He's alive.

[ and here. loki has to get used to that. ]

[qualityfriend]

So you're not alone. Or won't be, if you can ever leave here.

What- how did it happen? I've heard of Ragnarok, but, um... you seem very different than how you'd be after that according to the myths.

[dothelokimotion]

Well, I would hate to be the same.

[ there's nothing more dull than being what people expect of you. ]

My sister, the Goddess of Death had a penchant for domination over all. We had to destroy Asgard in order to stop her.

[qualityfriend]

...wait, I thought the Goddess of Death was your daughter. And Ragnarok was when all the gods died, and maybe it had already happened and we were living in the second world?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki waves a flippant hand. ]

Your stories of us are simply stories. There is some truth in it, but we left them for you to decide how they go. My story is not the same as other Lokis, but it is mine.
