[When Loki turns the feed on it is really, really, really early in the morning. As in ridiculous-o-clock. And he knows it is ridiculously early and that is why he talks really loud. So that everyone who is in the process of waking up can hear him loud and clear. After all, everything Loki has to tell is very important and everyone should hear it.]

Attention denizens of Luceti!!

[A pause...]

I have everyone’s attention, yes? Good, very good.

From one user of magic to another, I have a question for all of those who practice the art of magic or sorcery. Are there some of you where this is a talent that is hidden within one’s genes or is it mere talent? Or is it something one generates from spells out of books? Or are there some who utilize magic wands or some other magic artifact?

This is meant to start an interesting discussion about the usage of magic, you see? To create a bond between magic users... A magical bond!

[Oh, the pun!

No way in hel Loki is going to announce that he is not quite able to do magic on his own and that most of his efforts end up in giant headaches and maybe one or two floating objects. And no way he will leave it to just one question. Loki likes asking questions.

He leans a bit closer to the screen of his journal.]

May I ask who is pranking my older self? Because to burden him with such an interesting hair do is mischief of a very advanced kind. As the god of mischief I wish to bestow great compliments upon him on her.

Maybe even an award.

[ According to the list Panda provided he has to brighten Nojiko’s Christmas with an amazing gift, and since Loki really wants to give a ~~trolling~~ good present to a maiden who seems to have purple hair he will filters this message so that she cannot catch on to this, yet, he will not mention her name either, after all, no one should be trusted with such information. ]

What does one give to a maiden with an interesting hair color? Something matching with her hair color? A brush to comb that hair? Or a ribbon?

Or maybe something so she can indulge herself into the act of shopping and try on different outfits? After all, that is what most maidens are very, very fond of.

Ikki, I have chosen a date of birth. I think the fifteenth of January will be fitting. Please announce it, I require cake and presents.

Thought about begging the native spirits for a bit of help?

Your words are full of poison today, older self.

Is it because of your hair? ~~Or more...'the hair that once was there'.~~

Or because I have praised such a mischievous prank?

The hair has proven to be quite popular with the fairer sex.

I find your choice of allies and the words you've spread quite curious, all told.

Then I have good news for you. Hair has the ability to grow back on one's head, I am very sure you will be able to woo the maidens within no-time!

I am quite aware of that.

I think I may keep it short, actually, since it has caused so much affection.

You are quite free with your words about me. Since we are so relaxed, perhaps I shall be with mine about you.

Change is good, I am glad you realize this as well, older self. :-))

... These ellipses express the mixture of wariness, distress and a very small bit of annoyance I am experiencing right now.

Have I said something that displeases you?

Such emotion to place in a few little dots.

There is no need for such concern if all your words have been gentle and circumspect, I should think.

I know...peculiar, isn't it?

Well, as you have heard, I am rather amused with your sudden lack of hair. And I am also rather amused to hear it is because of a private prank-war with another person.

Do not tell me you are losing such a battle. It would not befit a trickster of Asgard.

Really, you ought to know better than that.

I have been amused to hear of my predilection for evil.

[Ah...ah, there it was. It would only be a matter of time when the words he said would reach the other.]

Amused? Is that the word you truly wish to use to describe such a thing? :-?

Older self, I am most aware of the concept of 'I should know better' and similar statements from your mouth ~~or pen~~.

Now what should I know of? Why should I know better? You do not tell me anything, you just expect me to know.

There are many things in this situation that you ought know better than to...

You ought know better than to think I might be losing this "battle."

And you ought know better than to be he who breaks our truce.

I was not an idiot at your age. Thus, I expect you to not be an idiot either.

[The reply comes much later because Loki decides to make a sandwich first. One with bacon. And honey.]

Your words give me the impression that you are far from amused. Therefore we can safely say that 'amused' has been a poor choice of words.

I do think your intentions are evil. You have not proven me otherwise. And you are not willing to explain anything. Do not expect understanding when I do not know what I should understand, you see?

And I am not an idiot...our backgrounds differ, our situations differ so our outlook differs. It is all so very different.

[And oh...]

>:-\

I do not care what you think. And you have little right to mewl that your older self is keeping secrets from you when you so obviously have kept your share from me.

Yes. It is very different. I would suggest you stop thinking of me like that older self from your universe.

Either way, it is you who has decided that we will, in fact, interfere with the plans and relationships of the other. So be it.

I would suggest you would stop thinking the name Loki only refers to doom and gloom, the end of things and similar horrible, horrible scenes.

Many of the relationships I have with others I have met in this village are entwined with yours. Yet, I wonder if disrupting those will get you the results you wish.

So be it, yes? I think that is a fitting expression.

[Maybe he should reconsider that concept of friendship...]

You are more in need of comrades.

[...and ask himself if he truly needed such a thing.]

I see that your amazing powers of telepathy and empathy are working about as well as I might expect.

Aggrandizing oneself at the expense of another is a rather evil act, I have been told. Enjoy yourself in that.

I need comrades about as much as I need your pity, which is akin to an abscessed tooth. Spare me, please, from your self-stroking about what a good and different Loki you are.

[He shuts his journal.]

[Loki is chewing long and thoughtfully on his sandwich while he reads the other's reply. And even though the other cut the connection right after that message he still responds.]

I am aware these words are meant as an insult, yet I find them rather strange.

Fare ye well, older self!

PS: Bacon and honey is not a good combination at all.

[Maybe the other will read it later. Or ignore it. Probably the latter. Loki closes his journal as well.]
