I must have someone to tea that does not insist upon discussing the false weather of false fake lives in our false London. It is getting positively tedious, and I only have eighteen more hours to be horribly bored.

	How much of what I've read is reliable? I know better than most that what is written often holds only a few grains of truth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whatever you find abhorrent is a vicious lie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good answer. You'll be pleased to know I find very little abhorrent, and so I believe it all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Vicious scratch-out, unreadable.] ~~Then perhaps you haven't lived as long as your name implies.~~ [...] How fortunate. But rather out of date, I'm afraid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is, exactly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your knowledge, actually, but also me. I'm practically pickled. Tell me, are you stuck under a root somewhere with acid dripping, or are you somewhere exotic on a cloud? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Somehow I doubt that. You think me old-fashioned? How classical of you. I don't have the time to while away my hours with a young woman catching poison meant for me. The cloud is closer to the truth, though Asgard isn't all the myths would have you believe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Imagine, if you can, a world thousands of years ahead of your own in every way, populated by beautiful, hale, healthful people, a golden city with elevators that move like lightning, and windows in the tall towers that glint like stars. And then imagine the corruption necessary in such a place, the nepotism, the ridiculousness of warrior ideals in an age where war is long past. The prejudice against those who fail to meet its exacting standards of quality. The state, run by a monarchy always on the edge of faltering, always at the whim, until recently, of a man grown too old to be fit to rule.

	A lovely story, isn't it? Fit for bed time, not unlike yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Pause.] I'm sure you think me a silly fairy tale for mortals. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	toberuled 2012-03-21 04:22 am UTC (link)
	Not at all. I think there is mortal literature with great worth. I have always been an avid devourer of any text I was able to acquire, from any of the nine worlds I was able to acquire it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'll forgive me if I'm not comforted when I am told I am written well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would you prefer to be written poorly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Loki/Dorian G. toberuled 2012-03-21 04:44 am UTC (link)
	I suppose I take it all for granted. People have been telling expanded truths and outright lies about me for a very, very long time. Once your story turns into a farce including assignations with horses, you learn to ignore what others think your story is about, and decide for yourself what role you were meant to play.

	I have no role. Not then, not now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Loki/Dorian G. toberuled 2012-03-21 05:04 am UTC (link)
	Good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like being without purpose too. Easier on the clothes, I imagine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Loki/Dorian G. toberuled 2012-03-21 05:11 am UTC (link)
	That certainly is one beneficial side effect. I would say I have a purpose, but it is my own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Monarchy, you said. Royals are always maneuvering. Am I wrong? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Loki/Dorian G. toberuled 2012-03-21 05:13 am UTC (link)
	No, not at all, although the monarchy has just become one small step in a long chain. The kingship no longer has the hold on my imagination that it once did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
