Once?

[She wonders if the question is overstepping. The last thing she wants to do is bring up painful memories, if this guy has lost a child.]

Good with me. Thanks, Loki. I have to ask, though - what makes a god feel 'displaced' enough to get sent here? Call me curious.

[ikols]

He died.

I was kicked out by my mom.

[ Both answers are simplified as much as possible for Chloe's benefit and to save Loki's pride, not wanting to get into gruesome details during a first meeting. ]

[couldkillthedevil]

[Right, well, she was certainly more than willing to let the subjects drop for his benefit. The heavy subject matter certainly was not what she intended, either.]

Ah. I'm sorry. To both of those.

And what are you doing here now? Work-wise, I mean. I'm assuming they assigned you somewhere.

[ikols]

My larger purview is Chaos. The folks here didn't know what to do with me. :)
I help out the perimeter guards and accompany people on quests into the jungle if they need a heavy-hitter of the sorcerer kind. I'm like Indiana Jones, but magic and manscaped.

[couldkillthedevil]

[He wouldn't be able to see it, but that got a snort out of her. And maybe more than a little interest.]

Magic, huh? What kind of magic?

[ikols]

Any kind. I even have a D&D manual back home for inspiration.
Chaos, remember? A finger in every magical pie.

[couldkillthedevil]

Does that magical pie include seeing into parts of someone? Or figuring out what's different or special about them?

[ikols]

I would always responsibly recommend you go to a doctor first ...

[couldkillthedevil]

Not exactly an issue for a typical doctor, but I'll keep that in mind.

[ikols]

Well, if you mean their head instead of their body, then ... sort of. I don't usually enjoy doing it.
Why do you ask?

[couldkillthedevil]

Maybe? I wouldn't really know how it works.

I recently found something out about... something personal. Just trying to put the pieces together, you could say.

[ikols]

And you want me to unravel their innermost secrets for you?

[couldkillthedevil]

Doesn't hurt to ask experts. Or at least if you've heard of something like it before.

[ikols]

Tell me what it is and I'll see what I can do.

[couldkillthedevil]

Have you ever heard of a miracle child?

[ikols]

You'll have to be more specific, everyone's idea of a 'miracle child' is vastly different.

[couldkillthedevil]

Say a woman who's unable to conceive is blessed by an angel so that she can have a child.

[ikols]

A soul ordained to live purely through divine intervention. Yeah, I know about that.

[ Having created Sylvie Lushton for fun, back when he was evil, the parody is very subjective to Loki's personal experience, but the similarities remain. Blessings and miracles aren't very Asgardian or Norse notions. ]

[couldkillthedevil]

[Clearly she needed to do more research.]

What does that mean, exactly? To live through divine intervention? Like a lack of free will?

oops a thousand journals

[ikols]

It means you were born because a god helped. Everything after that is all you.

[couldkillthedevil]

Right. Have you ever heard of these 'miracle children' having any kind of weird powers or abilities?

[ikols]

Who exactly are we talking about, your daughter?

[couldkillthedevil]

[Her response is delayed once again; perhaps thinking of how much to share.]

Close, but no. It's me.

[ikols]

Easier to ask questions for me. Obvious one: do you have any special powers?

[couldkillthedevil]

That's what I'm trying to figure out. It's less me having any kind of power and more of how I affect someone else's.
