SOMEONE'S SLEEPING IN YOUR BED THE MEME
And no, not in a good, sexy way, or at least not initially.



...basically what the title + subject says. Somebody's been sleeping in your bed! And they're still there. And possibly drooling all over your pillow and crap.

- Post with your character!
- Reply to other characters and ICly start stealing pillows and hogging blankets which weren't yours at all to begin with.
- Shenanigans.

I am the prince Loki, son of Odin.

[delusionaldreams]

You dare imitate me? Even now?

[bittyfun]

If you do not go, I will call for guards.

[delusionaldreams]

Try it, boy. And I will watch as you are jailed.

[bittyfun]

Then I will call. And we will watch who finds themselves in irons.

[ But he doesn't want to call -- and there is a hint of a shimmer in his form, an unsteadiness in image that's all the warning Loki gets before the illusion vanishes and his younger self comes at him, with the knife, from behind. ]

[delusionaldreams]

[Loki bolted out of bed, but not fast enough and a shocked look crosses his face as the knife sinks in deep.

Until he vanishes.

From a few feet away, Loki twists his hand and the knife in the boy's hand comes to life as a snake baring its fangs]

Ahahaha feel free to kick his ass.

[bittyfun]

[ For a half-second, triumph, in Loki's eyes --

And then -- this trick, he's read of this trick, though he's never managed it -- he grips the snake tight and blows on it, reducing it to ashes in his hand. ]

I am not afraid of snakes.

will do

[delusionaldreams]

No, I don't suppose you would be.

[He folded his arms, looking at the boy, considering.]

Why are you bruised?

Re: will do

[bittyfun]

[ A self-conscious touch to the most visible, a darkening color on his jaw. ]

My brother, Thor, bested me in the ring.

[delusionaldreams]

[A sinking feeling. He didn't think this boy was lying.]

Your strengths do not lie in raw power.

[bittyfun]

I know it! But they do not.

[ Trying to make him into something he wasn't.

He lifts his chin. ] What manner of sorcerer are you?

[delusionaldreams]

I am Loki Odinson.

[bittyfun]

[ His face goes dark, but instead of another denial: ]

Prove it to me.

[delusionaldreams]

How should I?

[bittyfun]

If you are the elder, and the more skilled -- by memory. By action. By something.

[delusionaldreams]

By the Norns, how exactly did you expect me to do that? Look at us; we are not the same. No matter what I say, if you persist on disbelief, there is little I can do about that.

[bittyfun]

I thought I'd be able to do anything when I was older.

[delusionaldreams]

[So many things came to mind, but Loki chose something small, something simple. Something that won't hurt this...innocent version of himself.]

You will never be able to surpass Thor in terms of strength. You will never love, or hate, anyone more than you do Thor.

[bittyfun]

[ Something shifts, distant, behind Loki's eyes. It is not a dimming of hope, precisely -- certainly not satisfaction. Not quite resignation, either. ]

I believe you.

[delusionaldreams]

I do not know if our experiences are the same. How is he, for you?

[bittyfun]

Cruel.

But he does not mean to be. He is like -- a great beast. He does not know gentleness.

Were I in danger, he would throw himself in its way.

[delusionaldreams]

And what of your own skills?

[bittyfun]

I am the cleverer. And the quicker.

[delusionaldreams]

And your [his lips twist, his voice mocking as he imitates their brother] tricks?

[bittyfun]

Someday I will be the greatest sorcerer Asgard has known. I'm sure of it.
