WHAT in person
WHERE the... cemetery?
WHEN day ""136""

[somewhere in cam... cour... uh, qm, there appears to be a new plot of land—some overgrown with weeds and other weed-adjacent plants, and some with towering oak trees and the like, and some with just perfect patches of freshly mowed and manicured grass...

also

there are tombstones every scattered all over this area, with the name of your father or father-figure on them, regardless of whether or not they are here or dead or here-dead.

yeeeeesh.]

You might not be wrong.

Honestly I have no idea. But... he seemed to hear me this time. He heard that I only took the throne with him at my side, at least...

I'm not. The part that's got me caught up is how it's still on the kid from the streets to educate the man who's got everything. Like this is some Disney movie or something. Is that beat comedy or pornography for you types?

While I understand your frustration, you'll have to understand why I don't know how exactly to respond to that.

Damn, 'cause I was really hoping for an answer. I did not get that shit, either.

[100% genuine, what the fuck hollywood and your annie the orphan stories]

Would you prefer if I stopped listening?

What, am I not pleasing to your ears? Do you want me to whiten this up for you?

[changing his register]

I don't understand why the burden is on the poor and disenfranchised to educate those from better socioeconomic and racial classes on their struggle. There are plenty of people speaking on behalf of our tired. But I think the theme panders to people who want to be easily handed an experience in an hour and a half rather than dedicating time and energy to listening, reading, and learning from those already speaking out.

Are you able to follow me now, cousin?

I understood what you meant. I wasn't sure what you wanted me to do about it personally.

Stop looking at me for an answer when I keep giving you the one that you don't like. There are plenty of other voices to listen to.

...

My earlier question still stands.

[face screws up, angry and raw with a nerve struck]

Are you going to stop listening?

I don't plan to.

So, don't fuckin' ask!

[glances over at him as he does that]

Is that your father's tombstone, too?

. . . mm. Well, it's your choice to make.

I'd already um, renounced it, actually. When I thought Loki died the second time. I only took the throne this time because he chose to be there.

[fidgets.]

Father was always so... right about everything, how was he so wrong about everything? He destroyed my Valkyrie and my brother's foundations, they had to completely rebuild.

... I do have one more question.

That's true.

[this guy is too busy tenderly snipping at grass to really argue with your ego today doctor]

It must have been right before he left.

Totally.

[sighs a little, clasping her hands in front of her. yeah it's. still rough.]

Making it personal was cheating.

It does.

...it seems like you were making the most of this... reminder, though.

I mean—this latest aside, were you going around blowing up empty graveyards professionally or personally?

[nods...]

...listen, I don't give a fuck about Asgard's throne, but it's weird you're calling it vanity. It's not like you were gonna take it for you in the first place.

[snorts. picking at the dirt and the lil rocks in it.]

No. I was going to take it for him.

[flicks a pebble at the tombstone '-']

My whole life I wanted to make him proud. Stand for everything he told me to stand for, be the king he told me to be. Then I learn he didn't stand for those things himself.
