( i. here for your entertainment )
[ most people would see the strange arrivals as an imposition. and loki does to some degree. that being said, he’s more than willing to turn that problem into a business opportunity. show that he’s open and welcoming. throw in a little extra money to establish the theater as a prominent spot in this world. the doors are open, fees are reduced. and if you’re not interested in catching a play, you might want to stop by the steps where there are a few vendors selling cotton candy, ice-cream sandwiches and beer to passersby and there are a few street performers there to catch your attention, whether they’re juggling fire balls, doing magic tricks or simply playing a pianoforte on the steps of the opherium. ]
( ii. the curtain rises )
[ for this month, loki is running a bunch of shakespearean plays. hamlet, macbeth, the twelfth night . . . you name it, it’s probably running. during the intermissions, there’s an open bar for you to rub elbows with the other patrons, maybe discuss your favourite part of the play. enjoy the arts so to speak. if you catch the really late night shows, you might find that your favourite plays might . . . turn out a little differently. like the trees are real in macbeth. that the ghosts move through the audience, sending chills down your spine. but the experience is still worth it. or is it?
or perhaps, you might need some alone time after a show, wanting to catch the infamous view of the city from the opherium's balcony. the choice is yours. ]
( iii. something wicked this way comes )
[ the theater keeps up odd hours. its productions run late into the night. and sometimes, you might feel the urge to linger and explore. after all, it’s strange to hear that a god of mischief is running a theater these days. almost suspicious even! so you might be wandering the halls, ears and eyes peeled to hear anything that might be unusual.
and you might just get your wish. a ghostly murmur, the flicker of a shadow against the pane of glass, statues that seem to be unnerving with their gaze upon you . . . is there something really there or are you just imagining things? ]
no subject
Oh, that's right... It's strange to think of you as married.
no subject
[He knows the other him was a real piece of work, but - for his entire life? Otto was married for like thirty years.]
no subject
Just... different. Different universes, I guess.
What would be odder is if I was married.
[He chuckles nervously.]
no subject
Never considered it at all?
no subject
There was this one girl... We were friends when we were kids. Met her years later and... well, I thought she might have liked me but... she was playing me. She wanted some angle for a story. I was her ticket to fame.
no subject
I'm sorry that happened. You're certainly better off, not getting entangled with someone like that.
no subject
I suppose it'd be nice to have a relationship but... sometimes it's just easier to be alone, you know?
no subject
[Which is to say - no! Not easier at all! Otto's doing better these days, but he thinks half of that is simply due to not spending so much time alone anymore. Going home to an empty apartment every night was sometimes just too much.]
no subject
no subject
Yes, yes. That does help a great deal. [Both the people he's met here, and - ] I had a friend from home with me when I first arrived - he vanished again some time ago, but I think I'd have had a much worse time getting used to all of this without him.

no subject
Has anybody come and gone and then come back again?
no subject
[Not "home", Norman wasn't at home yet when it happened. Of course, there's no way of proving it one way or the other, but Otto prefers to imagine they have gone back. Even if he might not ever be able to find out for certain.]
no subject
no subject
[Or just being vanished to some government black ops site? No other supervillain's ever been taken into custody before, who knows what would happen. He's being generous, anyway - he's far more certain that he'll probably get killed by his reactor, if he's dragged back there without warning.]
no subject
Even if neither can really stop us for long.
no subject
no subject
But I was resurrected. Somebody didn't think my time was done.
no subject
...I'm told I was supposed to die in my original timeline, but it never actually happened as far as I'm concerned. People in my world don't just...come back from that.
no subject
You never know. It could have happened in your world too. I can't go into all the details... but after I died, I went to... some sort of Hell. It was everything terrible you can imagine about such a place. But the demons weren't done with me there. They sent me back and I had to... follow certain orders. I tried to get away but it's not something you can easily escape.
[He pauses a moment and continues after a wry chuckle.]
At once point they tried to convince me I had just gone insane... but I know better.
no subject
What happened?
[at least, it sounds like the demon situation is past tense?]
no subject
[He appears hesitant.]
What part do you want to know more about?
no subject
[Really, anything beyond that is immaterial, in his opinion. Of course he's curious, but he's curious about a lot of things in other universes. No reason to demand explanations.]
no subject
I was. After... everything, I was making my movie. I had my script and we had everything shot and were about to go into marketing and then... I found myself here. So back home... things were going pretty well.
I wish I knew if everything was still going well. I got pulled away when everything was on the up, you know? It's like somebody doesn't want me to succeed.
