For those of you who interacted with Puck in the mirror world (white-haired, floating, mischief maker, magic, spells via rhymes):

It was enjoyable while it lasted. However, now that we are back in the real Asgard, do not expect to see him again. Details may or may not be provided depended on questions asked, if you wish.

[yes he knows this sounds creepy. but he's covering all his bases the best way he can: sweeping things under the rug and not giving straight answers. Owen's settling back into needless secrecy and he does not want to get out of that routine.

also, like hell he's telling all of you all the details. lol nope.]

Have a good day.

[Private to Demona]
Remember what we agreed about secrets.

[aka 'please don't out him of the magical closet, buddy.']

Sounds like a right sorry old pillock.

permatext, permanon

[servesthehuman]

He has his moments.

[tigers]

Well, he must, mustn't he? Any bloke who speaks in rhyme must be something of a tosser.

[servesthehuman]

Speaking from experience?

[tigers]

Show me a bloke who don't think William Blake comes off as a right sorry old sod.

[servesthehuman]

"Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"

And I'm afraid that's all the Blake I know.

[tigers]

And he sounds like a right ponce, don't he? What with his archaic spelling and all that rot.

[servesthehuman]

For me, the main problem is rhyming 'eye' with 'symmetry.' One hundred years of linguistic changes can wreck a proper rhyme scheme.

[tigers]

That's all fine and well, old chap, but I think it's plain that the poor sod's problem is that he's a right ponce.

[servesthehuman]

Think what you will-after all, thinking never harmed anyone.

[tigers]

It ain't much of a thought, is it? It's much more of a proven fact.

[servesthehuman]

We'll have to agree to disagree there.

[tigers]

Good god, my good man. How can you disagree with the blatant truth?

[servesthehuman]

Truth is a flexible concept. What seems true to someone may not be true to someone else.

[tigers]

Quite the contrary. Truth is truth, ain't it, chum? Otherwise we wouldn't be calling it the truth at all.

[servesthehuman]

That all depends on the truths. Some are more true than others.

[Owen. Puck. Owen/Puck? WHAT NAME SHOULD HE BE THINKING DISAPPROVINGLY RIGHT NOW?

Either way, he will cross his arms and raise a skeptical eyebrow. Seriously? You're still going to be keeping it up?]

[Private Video]

[servesthehuman]

[Owen just gives Sandy a 'dude, don't judge me' sort of look.]

I know what you're thinking. And really, there was no reason to tell everybody just yet. What happened in the mirror world was a fluke-I highly doubt it will happen again.

[Private Video]

[morethanadream]

[Sandy rolls his eyes, then mimes locking his lips and throwing away the key. He won't tell anyone, but seriously, dude, he thinks this is entirely unnecessary.]

[Private Video]

[servesthehuman]

I have my reasons, [Owen responds, a bit defensively. But, as Sandy mimes locking his lips, he smiles slightly.]

Thank you.

[fantastix]

Well.

If you know him, tell him I hope he made it out all right.

Aside from the crush of death.

[servesthehuman]

He made it out 'alright' as well. And, again, thank you for your help in the mirror world.

[fantastix]

Thanks.

But if he ever does turn up, we'll have to work on his combat. He made a decent damsel, but that's a dangerous role.

[servesthehuman]

Rest assured, his replacement is much more capable in that regard.

[Private]

[pmsgargoyle]

Perhaps I can. [ what can do you in return for that, Owen? ]

[Private]

[servesthehuman]

There is no perhaps. I've kept quiet about your thoughts towards the humans, you can keep quiet about this.

[Private]

[pmsgargoyle]

Don't barter with me. It'd be your word against mine.

[Private]

[servesthehuman]

In that case, I honestly wonder who they'd believe.

[Private]

[pmsgargoyle]

Considering I have been nothing but helpful? [ RIGHT. SURE YOU HAVE, DEMONA ]

[Private]

[servesthehuman]

[you just get a 'REALLY NOW?' sort of lineface stare.]

'Helpful' and 'not actively harming people' aren't the same, you know.

[Private]

[pmsgargoyle]

it should be. After all, all of them should be dead. [ the humans and everyone who helps them. ]

In any case, I have no intention of exposing you, Puck. [ yet ]

[Private]

[servesthehuman]

Thank you, Demona. I'm in your debt. [words that he never thought he would say.]

[Private]

[pmsgargoyle]

[ oh she likes that. The "debt" part ]

Has no one figured out who you really are?

[Private]

[servesthehuman]

Some have. Thankfully, only a few.

[Private]

[pmsgargoyle]

What's the point of hiding, I must ask.

[Private]

[servesthehuman]

There's no need for people to know about Puck. I was stuck as Owen back home and, that mirror world accident aside, I'll be stuck as Owen here.

[Private]

[pmsgargoyle]

The hard working and loyal Owen. A shame Xanathos has not showed up yet. [ so much sarcasm ]

However, you are in Loki's house. Those who are familiar with it know well what to expect.

[Private]

[servesthehuman]

I can live with suspicions, as long as they hide the facts.
