[003] - Voice: Excuse Me.

[She's been putting this off. Actually, she's managed to put it off for a very long time now. But as slow as she may be, she knows when there's something she needs to say.]

Look, this probably isn't how you're supposed to do this sort of thing, but I'd rather get it out there up front and over with. I'm sorry for any... strange things I may have said or done while I wasn't quite feeling like myself.

That goes for Valentine's Day, and more recently. Though I have to admit recently wasn't that bad. In fact, if it was always like that here, I could probably get used to it. Eventually. Enough to hold my complaining down to a dull roar, anyway.

So I was wondering, too, about these filial spirits. If magic is really something here, it probably behooves me to try to see it at work. Anyone willing to volunteer to let me? I'm not saying I'm going to try it out myself, or anything like that. I just want to see it.

That's actually a good question. [History is full of 'magic' that has perfectly acceptable rational explanations now.]

Let's start with 'magical powers most people don't have'. I'm prepared to waive my right to pointed hats, cauldrons, and brooms.

Thank you!

Am I to assume you are of Midgard-- Earth? I do not understand the reference, I'm afraid, but my particular skill is storm summoning. Coupled with strength and speed that is uncommon among humans.

[Perhaps it's inevitable to make the comparison, especially once Thor calls her world Midgard: He is much more friendly, more relaxed, than Loki. To Daria, this is no particular advantage or disadvantage; she's hardly warm and cozy herself. But she notices it.]

Storm summoning? Do you mean like, thunder and lightning and all that? [Wait. Loki...]

Don't tell me. Thor.

Yes! That is precisely what I mean! Does that fall under your definition of magic?

[He can't help smiling a little at that.] Precisely. I take it you've heard of me?

[Face to face, or rather video to video, she can't really call him a myth, can she? She responds with her usual dry tone, and a double truth.]

You might say you're legendary.

Ah yes. I am familiar with my apparent reputation, you are not the first to react as such. [A small laugh.] It is surprisingly gratifying.

I'll bet all the people tell you that.

Do you still have that hammer?

Not all, but enough for it to have become something of an expected reaction.

Mjölnir? Of course!

May I request your name, my lady?

It's Daria. You don't have to worry about the 'my lady' bit, either. I'm not used to good manners.

[There's a flat sarcasm there that suggests this is the fault of the people around her, who typically, according to her, do not display refined manners.

Besides, it's hopelessly outdated, Thor.]

My apologies. It's a rather... difficult habit to break out of. Do they make you uncomfortable?

No, but it does seem a bit old-fashioned. Luceti isn't quite a Renaissance Faire.
