Detention, Depths of the Castle, Thursday

[cracking-wonder.livejournal.com]

Another beautiful day had begun in Fandom, not that anyone in detention would have noticed. The lack of sunlight, the pleasant sound of Umbridge's voice, and the slightly stale smell of breakfast were all important aspects to making every day in detention routine! Surely everyone knew that surprises were no fun.

Look, the week was half over already and no one had been taken out and killed so far. That had to count for something, right?

"Elite? Truly?"

"Of course," Karla said. "Those of us with powers are naturally more highly regarded than the landens who serve Umbridge."

"Why of course I would gladly swear fealty for such high honors," Loki replied cheerfully. "Who would not?"

Karla was not entirely stupid and so gave him a frosty glance. "If you're so eager, than why have you not stepped forward to do so already?" she demanded. "I know you've already heard this spiel."

"Oh, but you were doing ever so well," Loki replied with another smile. "Do tell about the part where I may be elite again? I so wish that I had my Twitter account to share it."

Oh, the sour looks Loki was getting now. "I'm trying to make you an offer here," she snapped. "Not waste time amusing your idiotic little brain!"

Karla would like to assure you that she could have come up with better insults if half of her mind wasn't blanketed in pink fuzz.

"No, you come here offering trinkets to a god," he replied sweetly. "I thought you more clever than this when you spoke to my companions. Perhaps it was simply luck with them."

"I come offering trinkets to a godling," Karla corrected. "Here, you are nothing and less than that. You are bound here, powerless, just like the child whose body you wear." She sniffed. "By rights, the only thing I should be offering you is a poisonous snake and a bowl to catch the venom in. Perhaps that would lessen your arrogance some."

...Said the female threatening the god. Yes.

"I am not powerless," Loki replied calmly. He sat back, relaxed and in perfect control of himself. "You know a story mortals tell each other to teach a lesson about getting caught. Oh my. How will I resist falling to my knees and begging for forgiveness? I am Loki, son of Laufey. I am the greatest trickster known in all the nine realms. I will bring a fury down upon the world like none ever known. I know the virtue of patience. Do you?"

No. No Karla did not. Also, with any luck, she would later be able to get out of Loki's bad graces by explaining this as the most thorough trick of her life?

"So you'll just sit here and rot?" Karla asked. "In the hopes that one day, you'll manage to get out under your own power? You haven't yet and you've been here...how long?"

He looked down at himself. "Am I rotting, little witch? You make so many assumptions. You could learn much if you ceased talking and simply listened for a moment. I. Am. A. God. Do you think the lifetime of one witch is any more than the blink of an eye to me?"
