[The feed came on, showing a figure that most people in Asgard didn't see very often. Kin has kept a very low profile as a rule, and since her "duel" with Sakura a couple of weeks ago, she's kept a very low profile. Dying was embarrassing, especially when she'd more than earned it for getting cocky towards the end. Still, she'd gotten that ... need out of her system to an extent.

She was in a Loki dorm room, staring at the camera with an irritated expression. Then again, she always had either an irritated or sarcastic look on her face, so that didn't say much.]

Did we have fun hugging to make the locals feel better with those glowing runes? I hope we did. [She didn't sound like she wanted anything of the sort.] I've given this a lot of thought. Pretty in Pink claims she'd talk to a few people, and I actually believe that. Feels weird to say that, but I do.

Still, someone out there's bound to have a hatchet to bury, whatever she says. So, let's bury it. Now. I don't feel like dragging these things out for weeks or years. It'll just get dumb after a while.

Hell, while we're at it, any of you got hatchets to bury, come calling. That includes you, sir spooks a lot, or whatever your deal is. I feel like ... starting over, for whatever half-assed reason.

[boogerman]

Oh, no.

[He's angry, voice low and dangerous.]

I don't forgive and I never forget.

[voice]

[kage_senbon]

Your call, gruesome. Offer's open, but if you plan to keep this little plan to make me scream, you're gonna regret it.

[The bravado is more than half felt. He makes her nervous, but she's also taken on and done well against someone she was starting to feel was unassailable. It made someone confident. There was also that, and the fact that she was getting better with that telepathy of hers, bit by bit.]

But, honestly, I thought I was beneath your notice. When'd I get on your bad side?

[voice]

[boogerman]

I'm not talking about you. Someone's stolen something very important to me, and when I find them, they'll pay.

Which I'm sure they know.

Re: [voice]

[kage_senbon]

Oh. [She snickered.] No, I don't think you're really the forgive and forget sort. I don't suppose I really am either. We... just got it out of our system.

[She means they killed each other.]

I don't feel sorry for them if they know what they're getting into. It's their ass.

[ Gunn should really refrain from comment, but- ]

Damn. You sound angry.

Re: [video]

[kage_senbon]

Used to be. Now I'm just ... [What was the word?] irritated and I know they'll come.

[shinybaldhead]

Yeah? They got a reason to?

[ Nosy, and maybe he shouldn't be, but. ]

[kage_senbon]

Depends no who you ask. If you ask me, no. It's settled, but people are dumb that way, so I expect 'em.

[shinybaldhead]

Timeline issue, then. I can sympathize with that.

[kage_senbon]

Nah. I mean we settled it. Here. Far as I'm concerned, it's done. Her buddies probably don't agree, tough last I checked she was just as done as I am.

Better to get this crap over with.

[shinybaldhead]

[ And it becomes clearer and clearer that he shouldn't engage. Alas. ]

What the hell happened?

[kage_senbon]

We paid each other back a real old debt. [Said in he same tone that someone might describe waking up and having breakfast.] Don't worry. No small animals were hurt while we beat the crap out of each other.

[shinybaldhead]

[ Gunn just shakes his head, because this is seriously a trip. ]

Hey, as long as you're not risking our asses with a feud, I don't really care. Just being nosy, if I'm gonna be honest.

[kage_senbon]

Eh, I'll live. It's not like I made this private or anonymous, is it? I did what I did, and I'm proud of it, but there's a price sometimes.

[shinybaldhead]

[ Maybe time to move past the personal shit. He hums thoughtfully. ]

How you planning on starting over?

[kage_senbon]

I was thinking of eel in my rice balls instead of salmon. [She snickered.] I seriously hadn't put that much thought into it.

[shinybaldhead]

Please tell me you don't actually eat eel.

[kage_senbon]

Yeah, sure. Why not? It's a little prickly, and it's got a nice flavor, especially with this sweet sauce. Don't tell me you've never had eel before.

[shinybaldhead]

[ He just shakes his head, nose wrinkled a little in what is a pretty clear expression of distaste. ]

Hippie food.

[kage_senbon]

Who you calling a hippy? Do I look like some damned peacenick to you?

[shinybaldhead]

[ He's laughing. ]

Well, you eat like one, at least.

[kage_senbon]

What the hell? Do you seriously mean to tell me that only hippies eat regular food where you come from?

[shinybaldhead]

There's nothin' regular about that food.

[kage_senbon]

Says you. I know plenty of people who eat eel no questions asked. Why don't you?
