asgardmeridiem | [Open] Nobody likes you when you're 23

Who: Jack, the Lokis and YOU!
What: Prankster recruiting around Loki's halls, then it's time for some water (and paint!) balloons TO YOUR FACE.
When: Last days of the month.
Where: Starting at Loki, then all over!
Rating: PG-13 to be safe in case of cursing and possible violent grumps with no sense of humor. :|

[Fever. This damn world gave the Spirit of Winter a fever. Jack spent one hell of annoyed week, which only ended worse when adults decided to be adults again with their war and their killing and their neverending discussions about what's right or wrong. This eternal being has seen all that too many times before, and has already got enough for a lifetime or two. The battle against the giants made Jack think "to hell with Asgard!", and the whole mess with the spy only helped to make the feeling stronger.

After spending a whole day sleeping the annoyance away, Jack is healthy and ready to have some fun. Nothing like some good old pranks to remind those silly, responsible workers where the real enjoyment of life is (that would laughing, by the way, no whatever perverted thing you were thinking about!). He leaves his room (a miracle he has been using it in the first place) only to find the halls of the Loki house calm as ever. It's a bit disappointed really, shouldn't the prankster quarters be more exciting?]

I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE TROUBLEMAKING HOUSE!

[Yelling from the top of the stairs is obviously the best solution, right? He may get some answers, he also may not, but who cares. What comes next doesn't change: carrying a paper bag filled with all the balloons he got at the festival, Jack goes outside to look for water and paint... and some victims.

Are you ready to be wet, random citizen? Because that's one liquid bomb moved with telekinesis going for your head...]

((ooc: Ok, this is how things will go! There will be one thread at the top for all the people who want to join Jack's plans. He wants to recruit pranksters! If your character isn't a Loki but also wants to prank, we can say they are passing by the district and hear his yelling from outside. If you're here to offer victims, then reply normally to the main log! Mingling completely welcome of course, threadjack at will.
ETA: A quick reminder: the Gossip Girl plotting post is still open in case you want to sign up!))

[Jack's reactions only reminded him of the one that his childhood friends and master have given him once and many times before in the past. Ayame even shown such a look when he had once asked to learn more of the individual whom had saved his life.

Without another word, Soushi's expression will return to a thoughtful one, almost as he was thinking of the correct expression to offer him. Maybe he should simple smile? Then put away his weapon? No. That wasn't correct. Weapon, then smile. Which is exactly what he did, sheathing his katana as he offered him a smile.]

Powers, yes. Skills? Only if they are super human. What I just shown you is not even a piece of my true potential, if the deities had not taken away my abilities from me. But it's currently my full potential in this world, after training and honing my own skills after having arrived here many months ago. [His gaze will turn to his wet shoes and suit pants as he lifted a foot.] It would seem I still have much to improve on...

[But it won't be long until a more genuine smile will appear as he finally says:] Thank you very much for having shown me a new way to further train my reaction. I tend to forget how much slower I had gotten as of late... [Thanks to Asgard, he has been realizing how much he has been using his demon abilities. It was nice to be fully human, but he used to be so much faster and durable. Now any little injury made him slower. It was annoying to feel as defenseless as everyone else.] ...it's quite ironic. I am beginning to miss being different from a normal human being. [There is your hint on what he really is.]

[They're even, than. Jack is also being reminded of people from home: those spirits who like being too philosophical and vague for their own good. Jack doesn't like them very much, if at all.

He keeps the defensive position, the staff up, his eyes narrowing while he decides if this guy is messing with him or not.]

We all are in the same situation, I don't need your explanations. [He frowns, not buying it.] And you didn't answer my question.

["Not human" can mean many things after all.]

Then, I humbly apologize for having repeated myself to you.

[If he was messing with Jack or not, it will be quite difficult to tell from the polite smile on his lips. This individual really didn't have any other facial expression to offer besides the one he is offering. Sorry, Jack.]

As you have shown me another way to hone my skills, then it is only fair to explain myself to you. [All while ignoring his staff and defensive stance as he is used to that type of reaction.] I am a creature similar to you except I am half human. My linage comes from a creature known as a fox spirit. [More or less the truth.]

...a kitsune.

[He's been all around the world, alright, he knows a couple of things. Jack watches the man with curiosity now, though the defensive stance doesn't go away. Those foxes could be cool to play tricks with, but they also were little asshole.

Not different from himself to be fair.]

How many tails?

Ah, you are familiar with the legends. Excellent. I should have expected as much from a true winter spirit like yourself. [A slight pause.] It is an honor to finally make your acquaintanceship.

[Now he will be a little more gentler with the other individual as he does know of another female winter spirit in his own world. She really was beautiful in her past life cycle, but her beauty was second compare to his own master. His master was the definition of beauty itself.

Slowly, Soushi will raise his hands and begin to raise his fingers to indicate the number of his tails -- he has nine tails in total, or had.]

That is the total number of tails I hold or held back in my world. In this universe, I am unable to transform into my youkai form, but I was able to keep a few of my more natural capabilities. They are currently in a weaker state, but are still of use. Magical abilities are entirely disabled, I'm afraid.

[By now it's surprising that Jack's eyebrows haven't broken after all the raising they are doing. Of course he's a true spirit, what's this guy problem? And saying pretty much "nice to meet you" after this whole deal... gosh.

He can't help whistling when he sees the number of tails.]

Geez, you're old. But of course the gods took away the transformations and the illusion tricks and all those... what did you keep?

[Being called "old" will definitely get a chuckle out of Soushi as he found it quite amusing. If only he was as old as his tails were, but then again his soul must be over nine hundred years old by now.]

Thank you very much for your kind words. It is an honor to be able to live for as long as I have. [Now if he could stay alive past the age he normally dies in...

As for the skills he was able to keep, Soushi will point to his eyes.] My ability to view and travel in the darkness remain, but it has been greatly weakened. I need to fully concentrate to be able to keep myself from colliding into other objects. [Then he lowers his hand.] My hearing remains sensitive to loud noises and I am still able to hear from a distance as long as there aren't any or too many loud noises surrounding me. I can still tell the difference between human and the supernatural by the scent the other carries, but...I can only do so whenever they are close by.

[In other words, he still has some of his fox qualities, but are greatly weakened to what he is used to. It makes him wonder if it is normal for other humans to do the same as he does.]
