The shape you are currently in is, by definition, a shape. [Kurt, you are so adorable it's like pushing a kitten down the stairs.] Why be dissatisfied?

Every draft is dangerous, and I have my own disadvantages to deal with this time. Though one might hope this will go better than the last draft. [He raises an eyebrow.] Are you concerned about your own chances?

[wildbluevagner]

I guess you're right. Maybe I should be okay with my shape. Or... or maybe just not think about it.

Uh - [He quickly deflates.] I guess you could say that...

[complicatedliar]

[Loki nods wisely.] Too much attention to one's own shape has the nasty side effect of causing one to miss the lovely shapes of others. And what one might do with those.

[He raises an eyebrow.] Why? You've got quite the useful ability.

[wildbluevagner]

Maybe everyone should just... keep these shapes to themselves for now.

I do. But I'm not exactly used to this whole... war thing.

[Loki laughs. He's won.]

I'd gotten the impression that the ah... X-men... were no strangers to combat. This will be no different. Fight as you are suited to do. If anyone tries to drag you into conventional and unimaginative battle, they are a fool.

[wildbluevagner]

[And he just focuses on Loki's face intently.]

I don't know. These Cultists, they don't seem like the people we're used to fighting. I mean, here I've been kind of prepared for this kind of thing, but as tough as things got back home, it was never so close to an - an actual war.

[complicatedliar]

Open war is perhaps the most honest sort of combat. [He tilts up one eyebrow.] Kill or be killed makes decisions very easy, after all. And you need not be concerned with some day making peace with these people.

[wildbluevagner]

Yeah, yeah I heard. These guys can't be reasoned with.

[complicatedliar]

Nay. Even talking to them is a waste of breath better spent on combat.

'Tis of little use to show mercy to an opponent who will have none for you.
