huh
wait so what was you brother doing when that happened?


yeah sure go for it
update me on all the evil deeds

[meforsaken]

lots of things? this was forever ago

anyways onto more recent stories!
i trapped thor in a pocket dimension that he might have died in had he not solved my riddle
i trapped our brother tyr in a cube and he turned evil and killed one of our other brothers
i trapped thor in another pocket dimension, but this time he was forced to fight zeus and nyx
after this one, thor banished me from asgard and his sight
i of course disobeyed his orders and still went where i pleased which resulted in,
me killing one of the highest ranked sorcerers in asgard

it's been interesting, playing this role by my own choice.

[counterstep]

so you've been REALLY busy while you've been gone
I feel like that's been undersold

honestly, you just sound like you want people in your family to notice you and are doing whatever you have to for them to do that
not that I recommend killing
but that's just how the those "evil deeds" feel, to me

I think Asgardians are really into those dramatic fights also, so maybe death isn't really avoidable once those start happening

[meforsaken]

"not that i recommend killing" says the literal assassin

i appreciate the attempt at psychoanalysis, but the truth is much simpler.

i'm the god of stories. and all stories must come to an end eventually. sometimes to reach that end, they need a villain to guide them.
without conflict, there would be no plot.

[counterstep]

hey I can still try and recommend what is morally correct, assassin or not

I don't think conflicts have to have a villain though
a catalyst needn't be a cataclysm
I'm not a god though so that's just my silly human take on it I guess

[meforsaken]

they don't, but this story needed one.
it needed an ally loki too, don't worry.

[counterstep]

oh
so you did do some good on the side
as a treat

[meforsaken]

it's rather boring if i go completely one way or the other!
i've never cared for binaries, you know this.

[counterstep]

true
there's definitely advantage in playing both sides also
not that most people are really aware of my under the table dealings anyway

[meforsaken]

oh? have you had some recent evil deeds of your own, winter soldier?

[counterstep]

evil is probably a stretch, but I've definitely broken dozens of laws, treaties, and embargos over the last week

not everything you need for this kind of work is accessible legally so it just comes with the territory

[meforsaken]

i suppose it makes sense when considering your day job
you're a politician now, yes?

[counterstep]

for the time being
I'm not expecting to do this long term, I'm just trying to get someone to face justice and can't do it my usual way

she's like a goddamn eel, this one

[meforsaken]

do you want me to turn her into an eel?

[counterstep]

God that would be so nice, honestly

but it wouldn't really help either

[meforsaken]

are you absolutely certain? not even for a little bit?

we could have alligator loki hunt her.

[counterstep]

why must you tempt me with these satisfying but immoral solutions?

you know how much I'll hate myself if I ever say yes

( yes, because they're loki, he knows. but he still has to say it. )

[meforsaken]

i could erase her memories after we're done

[counterstep]

what about if other people see?

[meforsaken]

i'm not an amateur. i wouldn't do it where anyone could see.

[counterstep]

( damnit— )

what do I owe you if I ask you to do this?

[meforsaken]

tell me why this woman is deserving of such a fate.

[counterstep]

she regularly preys on people who have nowhere else to turn and uses them to her advantage, at the cost of the lives and potential that those people actually wield

she feels no remorse because she's managed to reach a privileged position and thinks she's already paid her dues as she continues walking on the backs of others

[meforsaken]

and you can't simply kill her because...?

[counterstep]

very public figure with a lot of security
