lacksconviction[He takes his time before introducing himself, establishing the purpose of this place, the fact that his magic definitely was depleted and not coming back by any means known to him, and weighing up the odds of his escaping by the usual means, before deigning to make his first journal entry. He has taken off his ridiculous supervillain hat, for effect:]
My my, is this not an ambitious effort? Certainly, a more elaborate one than the last chamber in which I was imprisoned. To whose hospitality do I owe my gratitude, may I ask? Which one-eyed wolf has clamped these strange jaws around my throat?
[He smiles, but it's unconvincing. His eyes look strangely pained.]
Or perhaps I expect too much in assuming this a prison, rather than an arsenal of purloined weapons, or a vault to hold the spoils of war?
[A slight pause, before he decides he's giving away far too much, and clicks the communicator off.]

"Twilight of the Gods?" I do know the language, yes.
[He doesn't know nothin' about no prophesy though.]

Date: 2012-06-12 05:57 pm (UTC)So what were your crimes?

Date: 2012-06-12 05:59 pm (UTC)Well, then though it is for the first time, please believe that I have heard much of your deeds, and am truly honored to meet you, oh man out of time.

I've seen it fail on numerous occasions, too.

You are from Earth, I take it?
[Not everyone thinks Asgardians are gods, even if he'd like them too.]

...They were trying to replace him entirely.]

Date: 2012-06-12 06:22 pm (UTC)Oh, yeah, I bet it is.

Being Loki would make you from Asgard, wouldn't it?
[She knows as much about mythology as the average well-read person but fuck if she knows what/where Jotunheim is.]
