(optional) NOTES

[The sun doesn't so much as rise as flick on with the sudden, glaring brightness of noon. Whatever time keeping device you have on you says its about 8:14am when this happens.

The power's back, but the time on your timekeeping device never really make sense with the position of the sun as it moves across the sky.]

[SEEMS LEGIT. buy your horse friend waffles.]

:Not in the slightest.:

What about shapeshifting trickster myths and folktales innnnn general?

[cautiously]

:I suppose some creatures and Powers certainly fit that description... what are you getting at?:

I'm trying to figure out what level to work from for explaining why he's basically a rockstar in my book.

[hmmmmm]

:I see. I'm more familiar with the bright Powers, but we do have legendary rapscallions celebrated in song and story, yes.:

Legendary Rapscallions would make a great band name. But yeah, you have your big noble types and then you have like... Foxes tricking wolves into fishing with their tails so they get stuck by the ice freezing up overnight.

:And this god who's come to town is a great fox?:

No no, uh, he could probably turn into a fox, but he's not a fox himself. But he is a shapeshifter! Real famous one. He gets a bad end in the myths thhhhhat I shouldn't spoil because right wow the dude himself is here in town and I don't want to piss him off, but uh. Bad reputation as a person sometimes, great cunning, skilled shapeshifter, a master of getting other gods in and out of trouble.

:Truly someone to look up to.:

[NOT ACTUALLY DENYING IT IF THAT'S WHAT FLOATS KEI'S BOAT, just. amused]

He's just— really, really cool.

[Kei likes bad boys, noted]

:What was his name, again? Perhaps I should go to see if he's as exciting to watch as you make him sound!:

[well! well!!]

Uh, Loki. I ran into him taking a walk so uh, might not be the most exciting to spot.

[gravely]

:I'll look for the crowds of fans-- like a famous actor in front of his playhouse.:

Yeah? Gonna follow the sound of swooning?

:Please let me know exactly what swooning sounds like, so I can be sure to get it right...:

Would you like that with or without the overwhelmed fainting?

Edited 2017-08-31 03:28 (UTC)

:You're more experienced with the situation-- I'll let you be the judge.:

With fainting it is!

[CHUCKLING]

:Goodness. I needed that.:

I am glad to entertain.

:I'm glad you met your hero. Anyone else interesting come along? You mentioned...:

[they're probably near the breakfasty wall of mall shops by now]

[can horses eat waffle dippers, probably]

Oh! Oh, yeah, yeah! I met this guy, turns out he's a vampire? Also French? But anyways, great guy.

:Oh, that sounds lovely. Explain both "vampire" and "French"?:

[god he's so cheering and normal and not having a breakdown, she loves him]

France is a country in Europe on Earth, and a lot of people think the French language sounds romantic. Vampires have a lot of different versions in folklore and pop culture, but most all of them drink blood.

:Blood!:

[startled]

:I suppose I know of some demons who do, but none who speak in tongues most humans would understand.:

[and probably evil wizards, but they don't GOTTA]
