AUDIO. UN: LOKI.

[ tap, tap—is this thing on? ]

Well, Audentes, it’s certainly be a trip. [ and he says that with finger quotes. ] Out of the frying pan and into the fire, that should be our motto.

[ for someone stuck in a maze, Loki still manages to find his confidence. ]

As we take a stroll through the maze and await the next hit single of its proprietor, I—or we, rather—would like to share a few words with you. Our Zymandis tag-a-long has spoken with us regarding some of our curiosities.

Unlike ALASTAIR, Zymandis has a fully functional chain of command, all the way from the higher ups to the underlings. Commanders and sub-commanders and the whole bit, going all the way to the tippy top under their leader … you know—Leader. [ he’s just gonna add that right in on there as a good rub. ] They recruit based on volunteers, and have seen their own share of those slipping through the cracks in the multiverse to end up where they are. It seems that this Mavahari is indebted to them through her rescue, and has pledged her life to follow their blah blah blah rebirth narrative blah blah blah.

Not only that, but they believe that the rebirth itself will prevent the next shatter of our dear multiverse. If the entropy is allowed to play out as is, the result will be much of what happens with Surtur gets his hands on something—burnt to a crisp.

Now, we’re not here to start another back-and-forth, however … we still do have the little detail of our Zymandis stowaway. She’s a political assassin, so I’d suggest not doing much to anger her. [ he’s looking at you Thor. ] For now at least.

[ OOC NOTE | please feel free to threadjack, discuss, &c! the thread with the Zymandis agent is here for all who'd like to reference it. ]

I already gave my final piece, darling. But if you're that desperate for the last word, who am I to stop you?

Personally, I'm fond of "zamboni," if you wanted to use that one.

So, no.

Go ahead and spent the next few weeks thinking of your next zinger.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Mmm. Nope, zamboni still sounds classier, somehow.

A fart would sound classier.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

...

Now, Loki. Dearest.

I was never trying to insult you. I merely wanted to point out how silly and oddly hostile you were acting.

I didn't expect this to end with you insulting yourself. I promise, a fart WOULDN'T sound classier than your biting repartee! We can get Sans to prove it. Honestly, now.

Oh, please. The mortals have a saying you know, it's if it quacks like a duck.

If you'd like to continue your little misinterpretation party to make you feel better about yourself, who am I to stop you? There are people here who are adding value to the situation at hand, instead of feeding their egos with their poor choice in jokes.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

[There's... a lot there to unpack, really. The fact that Loki did, in fact, infer that his words sounded less classier than a fart and there was no misinterpretation there, just, perhaps, someone misspeaking. He could say that this wasn't so much to make HIMSELF feel better, but to, originally, make a joke about a homicidal woman on a blind mission to destroy the entire multiverse and how the only criticism one could manage is how that idea is completely batshit ****ing stupid. He wanted to make Loki laugh. Things are dire. People need to laugh! Sue him.

But, sometimes... Sometimes, you just have to take a page from a foul-smelling skeletal comedian, shrug, and just call it a day.]

Ok.
