Honestly, I'm glad to hear it.

[ He does feel responsible, okay. ]

[dothelokimotion]

Mm. It will settle. These things are common here.

[portolan]

I'm starting to piece that together. And here I thought things would be quieter here.

[dothelokimotion]

They can be, if you understand how to navigate them. It's not a complicated place.

You have to make your own corner.

[portolan]

I'm starting to see that.

Was your last world like this, then? Mine very much was not.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he shakes his head slowly. ]

Asgard is nothing like Earth. But I have some experience with Earth and heroes, so the transition did not trouble me.

[portolan]

[ He wonders how much this Loki's Asgard has in common with the other two Loki's. ]

I'm glad for you then. Honestly, I've done better than I expected. Digital communications and the general lack of murderous beasts are both an improvement.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't know. A few murderous beasts could be nice. I like a little spontaneity in life.

[portolan]

[ He chuckles. ]

Alright, cheers to that. I do miss a good hunt. And seeing wildlife about -- it's strange being tied to one place week after week.

[dothelokimotion]

That is quite frustrating. I dislike being trapped against my will. No matter how pretty the cage.

[portolan]

Cheers to that. Though I'm starting to wonder if there's any world that doesn't feel like being trapped. Common theme, it seems.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he cocks his head at that. ]

Why would it be?

[portolan]

[ he shrugs ]

Seems almost everyone I've talked to either feels trapped here, or doesn't want to go back to a world they were trapped in.

[dothelokimotion]

Even if I could go back, I'd still choose not be trapped anywhere. A trap is no choice at all.

[portolan]

If you could go back freely, if this world suddenly opened for us to return home or go to other worlds, would you stay here?

[dothelokimotion]

Probably not. I can do better than living on some facsimile of Earth.

[portolan]

Where then, if you had your pick?

[dothelokimotion]

[ wherever thor was is his true answer. but that was a dream a child would have. he shrugs. ]

I don't know. I'm not really interested in settling. I would prefer to travel the worlds like I used to.

[portolan]

I miss that too. One world for me, but a lot more freedom in traversing it. I can see the appeal of doing so across multiple.

Must be hard being tied down. It's hard enough not having my airship.

[dothelokimotion]

It is not ideal. I can make do for now, but I am a God of Chaos. Structure doesn't agree with me.

[portolan]

I'm just a very arrogant man. But I think, perhaps, cut from a similar cloth.

[ Look how far he's come, joking about having anything in common with a god. ]

[dothelokimotion]

I don't think it's arrogance to be able to decide where you wish to go and how.

[portolan]

All the people I like don't seem to think so.

[dothelokimotion]

What do they think then?

[portolan]

Same as you I’d wager. No sense in following rules that don’t suit you.
