asgardeventide | 002 - [Video]/Action in Loki District if you wish

[A video feed comes online. It looks like one of the dingiest, grayest and most forgotten parts of the Loki district. The only color is fading back into existence on the frame of Samantha Grey as she fiddles with her bracelet and gives it a thoughtful growl. She doesn't seem to completely notice that she's not wearing a cap right now, her horns visible.

Looking over to her right, the screen shifts just enough to give a view of a house guard in Hel colors. She nods to him before he departs and sighs.]

Thank you.

[There's a grunt and her hand reaches up to pull the cap she doesn't find there down. This makes her look even more annoyed, but ultimately it just gets another shrug. She sits heavily against the wall and looks around.]

So, I suppose this whole gray thing isn't complete bullshit, is it? Not exactly the brightest way to find out about that, I suppose. There really doesn't seem to be a way out of here, either, but I suppose most of you already knew that. Those bastards have us right where they want us, don't they? [She looks very briefly defeated, though her jaw firms quickly enough. She's not one to give up even in hopeless situations. This just requires a new tactic.]

(OOC: And with that, back from hiatus am I.)

Well, I don't think it's all that weird. How about that?

That's actually a little concerning, honestly. Should I just chalk this up to you being surrounded by strange things a lot, or do the horns not have any significance to you?

The horns mean you're a demon or something?

Half!

[That comes out far more forcefully than it needs to, and she gets to her feet, tail coming into view behind her and lashing out animatedly. Her eyes are blazing for a second before she reaches up to grip the bridge of her nose.]

Yeah, something like that. People don't just up and call demons not weird, though this place is mucking all the normal stuff up. You don't want to deal much with demons. They're not trustworthy.

I don't know about that. I know a half-demon myself. She's pretty close to me.

Half's not the same, but I wouldn't trust a demon just because they say they're only half. If you trust her, good for you. Demon blood's...

[She paused and grunted, looking away and growling. She didn't need to go sharing everything.]

Just know a demon's a demon, even if half means they can try to be more human than infernal hell-spawn.

She's my sister. I'm definitely not going to doubt her. Though she doesn't have horns or anything of the sort.

Good enough reason all around [Assuming she believed him.] I don't have one, but I always trusted the human side of my family. There's something to blood. And, yeah. We tend to look different, other worlds aside.

Ah, well, it doesn't matter to me. You are who you are. I don't think what kind of blood is flowing through you or how you look makes a difference.

You'd be surprised. But that's not important right now. That's for you to figure out for yourself on your own time. So, did I manage to sate your curiosity under the circumstances?

If my curiosity wasn't sated, I get the feeling I'd have to deal with it either way.

See, there's a bright boy. Somebody who sees what's right in front of his eyes. Not everyone around here's likely to want to share their life's story on the drop of a hat, I'll bet. Few of them are real chatty sometimes, though.

People here have a lot in common here so it happens frequently. It's hard to not talk knowing that some out there will sympathize with you.

I'm weird, I guess. To me, the 'enemy of my enemy' is only just that, the enemy of my enemy. Friendship takes a lot more than just a common experience.

I doubt it's even that. 'Enemy of my enemy' is pretty depressing sounding anyway.

Just a heads up. There's a reason they put me in Hel's little house of horrors. I'm not known for being little miss Sunshine most days. It's kind of a quirk. [She did, however, at least snicker when she said that.]

If it involves violence of any form, please count me out. I get enough of that in my life already.

[She paused. Turning to the side, she coughed once, uncomfortably.]

I'm only violent to people who are violent to me, as a rule. But, if we're ever together and I tell you to run, just run. Don't ask stupid questions. Do it.

R-Right.

Yeah, moving right along. No, not violent. Just depressing. Apparently, it's a 'thing' over at Hel's house to be morbidly unpleasant most of the time. Like a house of goths and monsters.

Will you stop that!

Stop what exactly?

[She sounded more than slightly confused, though she was guessing it was her sense of humor and wit. It was usually too much for a lot of people.]

The whole monster thing.

[She looked at the screen, only really hearing him instead of seeing him for a long time. Thoughts of her mother came to her mind for a moment and she closed her eyes, pausing to breathe slowly in and out.]

I apologize. Look, I don't like what I am. It's hard to keep that out of my tone, but if your sister had the blood too, I can understand it bothering you. I'll try.

No promises, but I will try.

It's not about my sister. I know what a monster is. I've seen plenty of them. I don't even know you and I know you're not one, no matter how you act when you invert or whatever.

It's just annoying because all you're doing is insulting yourself and that's stupid.
