Even though he'd taught a few times before, it always gave Loki a little thrill when they let him keep teaching. And when his class for this summer had been approved, he'd been on cloud fucking nine. So, he was there, feet up on his desk while he waited for the students to file in and take their seats. Once they did, Loki finally stood up and looked at them for a few moments. Then, he climbed up onto his desk, smirked once, and screamed. Loud. And for a long time.

Sorry kids, you all get to deal with a nearly insane angel for a few fucking weeks. Hope you enjoy it. At least he stopped screaming before climbing down to just lean against the desk.

"Well, now that we're all fucking awake, we can start," he said cheerfully. "If you don't know it already, my name's Loki and you're in Dogma: Fuck It! This class is going to be easy enough so, if I hear you whining, expect me to get in your fucking face about it. If you're here, you wanted to take a class that's goes against your principle and your systems of beliefs. You wanted to learn how to break the fucking rules and have fun without always playing the goody fucking two shoes. Some of you might already know how to do that and just wanted a fun class for the summer. You found the right place. Some of you probably don't know how to do that and need to learn. You found the right place too."

And Loki was such an effective and helpful teacher. Really. Always willing to stay after class and help out when he was needed. Really.

"First class, we're supposed to do introductions right? Names and all that kind of shit?" Loki shook his head. "Fuck that noise. I probably know all your names and, if I don't, I'll fucking learn them. I've got a course roster for a reason. If I call you the wrong name, you'll just have to deal with it. Or set me straight. Don't be fucking meek, people. It's annoying."

Such a good teacher. Of course, he hadn't had any complaints before so he actually did think he was a fucking awesome teacher.

"This week, we're blowing off the fucking rules," Loki said. "Why do you think I screamed? Because I so desperately wanted your attention on me? Fuck that, I could care less. If you're smart, you'll pay attention. Why do you think this week's assignment to break a fucking rule right here and now? I don't care what rule, where it came from, who made it. Tell me the rule and then fucking break it. Break it knowing you won't get in trouble, get detention, get stinkeyed or anything like that. Break it and enjoy how fucking good it feels. Easy start to the class, right? It's only gonna get better from here."

Well, they were thinking similarly there regarding pure evil and where it existed. He'd seen it and, while he didn't know what Didi was, she'd probably seen it too.

"People don't or can't do things just to be jackasses?" Loki wondered absently. "Wouldn't that make even the most irredeemable person capable of redemption? Some people are just shit. And they do shit things because they can. Now, if you can consider the ability to be a prick a reason to do things, then yeah, maybe there is a reason."

"Usually when people are jerks out of nowhere, they're hurting or jealous or want attention," Didi said. (Looking at you, here, sister-brother Desire.) "I didn't say it was always the best reason, when someone does a bad thing. But I do believe in redemption."

"For everyone?" Loki asked, unable to stop himself. Truthfully, he wasn't talking about himself here because he'd been given a second chance but Bartleby hadn't and he'd been dead set on killing all of civilization so Loki wondered.

"If they want it," Didi said. "You have to think you deserve it."

That's how it worked in her world, anyhow. (She sounded awfully confident about the whole thing for a high school student, but she was never able to keep up a cover for more than five minutes, anyhow.)

"That's a very...positive world view you've got there," Loki remarked. "Where'd that come from?"

"Being older than I look?" Didi tried, and lowered her voice just slightly. "I'm Death. I kind of have to know how things like that work."

Loki stopped and actually stared at her a little more seriously than he had before. "You're Death?"

At least he'd lowered his voice too.

"How the fuck didn't I pick that up?"

"Different universes?" Didi hazarded. "Plus I'm a mortal incarnation, so ... it confuses people. I can't get a bead on you, either, if that helps."

"Angel of fucking Death," Loki said, looking smug about that. "Retired but still an angel, still working for God, just on a bit of a vacation right now."

"Oh." Didi blinked. It wasn't what she would have guessed -- Loki didn't exactly scream angelic -- but she believed it.

"This is just a vacation for me, too. Are you here with the one down at the church?"

"No," Loki said, shaking his head. "I was here first. And he's got some weird shit going on where he's from. Where I'm from, we're just dealing with your regular, run of the mill fucking humankind problems."

"Same," Didi nodded. "I mean, we have superheroes and things, but mostly it's just people. I stay out of most of it, anyhow. Things work better that way."

"Yeah, I'm not really involved in the day to day workings anymore either," Loki said, shrugging. "I'll let God deal with it. He can get the headaches while I...mold young minds of the fucking future."

Didi smiled. "Do you like the molding young minds?"

"Haven't had a bad class yet," Loki said, shrugging. "And hey, this means I can get back at God in my own indirect way."
