[Hello, Asgard. Look who is finally making his first post to the network? Jack is sitting on a roof and enjoying a blue popsicle. It seems their little trip to the cold lands wasn't enough ice for him.]

Moral of the story: 'frost giants' aren't as cool as they sound.

[...it's a joke, ok, don't judge him ~~much~~. He needs to deal somehow with the fact the trip pretty much sucked. Jokes are also his way of trying to break the ice ~~see what I did~~. Answering to people's silly thoughts? No problem. Starting conversation by his own? That's gonna need more practice.]

Someone mentioned weapons when I arrived, and how I should I ask the network about it. Maybe you do have an idea of what to do about--

[He uses telekinesis to make the two halves of a shepherd crook float next to him.]

--this. Because without my original powers, my staff is now just... a piece of wood, I guess.

[Brilliant deduction, Jack. All these changes are sure bothering you, huh?]

You are painfully right. You would expect from the Norse pantheon to be able to solve things by themselves, yes?

[Loki raises his eyebrows at the look on Jack's face.]

Well, I rather stay a teenager instead of growing up.

[Because growing up would mean something terrible. As in a possibility to become something he never wishes to become in the first place.]

I learned a lot time ago not to expect anything from the higher-ups.

[His expression goes for a WELL DUH right now. Come one, Loki, he shouldn't have to explain these things to you.]

Growing up definitely sucks. That's why being a child is the best, teenagers are just stuck in the middle.

Well, once again I cannot say you are wrong, but I think it depends on who the higher-up one is, you see? This particular Norse pantheon is one of lazy gods. The Norse pantheon I am familiar with is a far more active one.

[Loki 'duh'-s right back at you, Jack. So 'duh'.]

But aren't you a teen as well?

[Back on that entire subject of age-thing.]

[OOC: I'll PM you tonight! :)]

So far, not a single version of higher-ups has caused a good impression, but good for you.

[Jack wonders how to explain the whole age thing, then suddenly realizes that if this kid knows Norse myths, then maybe...]

Wouldn't Jokul Frosti be above all that teen stuff?

Good for me, yes. But this Norse pantheon is not the Norse pantheon I know of. Thus that makes it not good for me. Not good for you either.

[He raises his eyebrows for a second.]

Old Man Winter is an old man. Thus definitely not a teen. I do not envision him appreciating teenage things either.

Is there a certain point in your question I am not getting? Or should I apply Old Man Winter's existence to the color of your hair? Or more...the complete lack of color.

[Hold on...]

Old people color.

And what would make it good for us? Since you sound like an expert and all.

[Jack grins, happy he got Loki with this one.]

Old Man Winter, aka Jokul Frosti, aka Jack Frost, aka me, appreciates having fun, snow days, hanging out with kids and pranks.

...which apparently makes me a Loki member.

Well, if they expect mortals to do a god's job and not enhance their powers properly the results will always be rather messy, you see?

[Loki chuckles, highly amused.]

Indeed. That makes you a member of the House of Mischief. I think we have a lot in common, according to my parentage I should prefer snow as well so I think that will not become a problem in the future.

I am Loki Laufeyson of the house of Odin. God of great mischief.

I like messes. And this is nowhere near that.

[Jack tilts his head, processing what Loki just said.]

You're... another Loki? And also got dragged here in the wrong house? [What.]

Messes are good when they are not messy and utterly gross.

Not another Loki...

[He shakes his head.]

...just Loki. They placed me in the house of Loki. I do not see any mistakes here.

The point of a mess is being messy.

[Do we have to start discussing linguistics now.]

You are the third Loki I hear of and you introduced yourself as "from the house of Odin". Who, by the way, needs a sense of humor.

I disagree. There is a significant difference between 'a mess' and 'a messy mess'. A mess can also refer to a particular nasty situation.

Actually, the fourth. And yes, I belong to the house of Odin because he raised me.

A nasty situation that is still messy.

[That's what makes it a mess in the first place!]

The fourth? And you're the only one with sense of humor?

But not messy messy.

[What is this discussion. Loki does not know.]

My sense of humor is known far beyond the Nine Realms, Jack!

[Yeah, Jack lost track of it. So let's just forget it happened.

He arches an eyebrow at Loki.] ...did you hear what I just said? You do have one. It's the gods the ones with the problem.

[Loki grins very broadly.]

Excellent deduction, my friend.

[A nod.]

We are most definitely friends. Friends in great mischief.
