[ out in the Unseelie courtyard, surrounded by inky black thorn bushes (how appropriate,) Loki sits on the ground, rustling through the plants as delicately as possible. he seems amused enough, a small bundle of the plants already gathered in a cloth in his lap. ]

Atropa belladonna. Once known to be an effective anesthetic and even as a beauty aid, but now more commonly used as a deadly poison, able to render even the most mighty of warriors powerless. A useless, hallucinating, drooling pile on the ground.

Oft considered one of the primary tools of the witch. [ he laughs a little to himself. ] How fitting.

Tell me about yourselves, my new friends. Your worlds, your myths, your folklore. Your legends and your mysteries. I will share my own, in return.

Where I come from, there are nine known, documented realms. Nine worlds. The realms of the gods, the giants, the dying, and the dead among them. I have seen most all of them myself, and I must say, they hardly compare to the remarkable land I find myself in now. Very quaint.

I am sure there are others among you who agree, no? I can't be the only one who feels so very at home here.

I don't believe this. [ Said more to himself than Loki. ] You're strange! What kind of person thinks they're fun?

A strange person, obviously. [ duh. ]

[ Iceland's jaw tightens. This is getting frustrating! ]

Don't they have better animals where you come from?

Bilgesnipe are hardly as affectionate.

[ but they do make good guard beasts. ]

Oh, great, you're one of those fantasy people too...

This is a bad thing?

N- no... but, I didn't think I'd be trapped here with a bunch of-- [ He can't say "unreal" because clearly these people aren't holograms or fake in any way. ] -- strangers. Like you.

Now, now. You shouldn't assume the worst in everyone. Some of us could be very dear friends if you give us a chance.

I don't want to be friends with someone who could poison me. [ Referencing Loki's initial spiel about the witch plants. ]

Good, you aren't completely foolish then.

I'm not a fool at all. [ Debatable. ]

One could argue that, if this is how all your first impressions go.

I haven't even done anything, you're the one calling me names.

And this is how you retaliate.

Shut up. [ His face is turning read, he's getting flustered--! There goes his vocabulary. Also proving Loki's point. ]

You see?

[ He takes a breath, trying to simmer down as to not prove Loki's point further. ]

Because you're saying nonsensical things and being annoying. Anyone would get frustrated with that.

I'm just having a little fun. You're the one making it so easy.

So you're one of those kinds of people too... Great.

So it would appear, yes.

Don't you do anything else besides annoy people?

Of course. Sometimes, I kill them.

[ Iceland looks like he just swallowed a bug. ]

Aah... that's not funny. Try again.

I wasn't lying.

[ counting down until he runs away crying, yep ]

S- so you're a soldier or something, right? ...Right? [ He knows he's reaching, but he's still in shock and it's hard to process that he's talking to a murderer so casually. ]
