midgardserpentJormungandr had been going through the whole day feeling like he was forgetting something incredibly important. His conversations with his wife and children had felt hollow and forced, almost unreal. He tripped over words at unexpected moments for little to know reason...
...and then he would be confronted with images of the ocean, a sense of immense vastness, and an immediate wrongness to... well, everything.
So, in the late afternoon, with still plenty of time before any barbeques or fireworks, he decided to go for a walk. Clear his head. Knock some sense into himself.
And so, on July Fourth, Jormungandr can be found roaming the town, perhaps with a look of vague confusion on his face.

SORRY THIS IS THE LATEST THING EVER TO BE BACKDATED. well not quite but still, LAAAATE. Also,50%
Date: 2011-07-11 05:43 pm (UTC)He's had two sets of memories in his head all day. Loki thinks he knows which one is real...but the others feel so vivid.
He sees Jormungandr, and a flash of memory stirs -- that's the kid Loki took under wing about ten years ago. Showed him the ropes, you know, how to thrive in a place like Mayfield. Jormy's practically family.
But he also remembers. I had a son named Jormungandr.
Loki hails him as the mentor.]
THAT IS OKAY. A TAG FROM YOU IS ALWAYS WELCOME.
Date: 2011-07-11 05:49 pm (UTC)Wait. Father. Was that... no, that couldn't mean anything. But the deep ocean lurking in the back of his head whispers that it does but why should the ocean be whispering? And why to him?
Nevertheless, when Loki says hello, he manages a nod and a greeting.]
Hello, L... Loki. [why was that so hard to say? Why is everything so hard to say?] I just... needed a walk.
AWWW SO SWEET <3
Date: 2011-07-12 12:13 am (UTC)His name is Jormungandr. That's the name of Loki's son. A son who definitely wouldn't walk, and the idea amuses Loki -- the part of Loki that's a god, that is. He can't help but laugh.
...wait, that laugh was rude, and came out of nowhere.]
Something about what you just said was...funny to me.
YOU KNOW I LOVE YA BABE

Date: 2011-07-12 03:35 am (UTC)What has you so talkative now? The first time we met here, you wouldn't say a word. I remembered you because...you have the same name as one of my sons.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-12 03:39 am (UTC)But it does at the same time. What is going on?]
...sssons?
[...oh no he hissed again. He's been doing that all day and he can't figure out why.]
no subject
Date: 2011-07-12 12:25 pm (UTC)Ha ha, you sounded almost like him for a second there. Jormungandr--my son, Jormungandr--is a snake.
[Is he? No, that can`t be right, Jormungandr is his protege, the one Loki`s been teaching how to fleece rich cats.
(...wait, that turn of phrase doesn`t even make any sense, cats didn`t have fleece, and even if they did, what would that have to do with cars?)
no subject
Date: 2011-07-12 04:27 pm (UTC)The Mayfield memories falter for a second, and Jormungnadr growls softly and clutches at his head. He's getting a headache.
But... that's right, Loki still doesn't get that the son he's talking about and the man standing before him are the same person. Wait, is that right... no, it can't be right... but it is right, and dammit Jormungandr is going to remember if it kills him.]
...Me.

Date: 2011-07-12 10:21 pm (UTC)Ssson. Me.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-12 10:29 pm (UTC)Loki's taken aback by the shaking, and stares at Jormy like the man's gone nuts.]
No, you're not. You've got the same name, but you can't be the Jormungandr I know. You've got too many legs, for one thing, and your tongue's too short.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-12 10:34 pm (UTC)Unfortunately, fighting back against the droning is sapping him of communication abilities again. Damn it all.]
Yess. Me. Sson.
[Fuck this town how can he make him see?]
...T-own. [Damn that sound why is that sound so hard.] Me. Human. [He spits the word out in disgust. Then he grimaces as the droning pushes back again and he lets go of Loki's shoulders to clutch at his own head once more.]
no subject
Date: 2011-07-12 11:05 pm (UTC)You're telling me...that you're the Midgard serpent?
You're the Jormungandr I raised in a cave with Angrboda?
no subject
Date: 2011-07-12 11:11 pm (UTC)Yesss!
no subject
Date: 2011-07-13 12:08 am (UTC)Then why didn't you say so before?!
no subject
Date: 2011-07-13 12:12 am (UTC)T-alking. Could no-t. Ssstill... have. Probelmss.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-13 12:24 am (UTC)In any case, he's mostly happy to see Jormungandr. Aside from a bit of awkward -- he hasn't seen the snake in centuries. Well, to be fair, Loki hasn' seen anyone in centuries. He resolutely ignores the part of himself saying that and raises an eyebrow.]
No kidding. You never really had to do much talking, did you?
Well, it's never too late to learn! No son of mine's going to be caught lacking in the language department, not in a place like this.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-13 12:45 am (UTC)What were we t-alking about?
[Why was it so hard to say that sound?]
no subject
Date: 2011-07-13 04:23 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2011-07-13 04:31 am (UTC)...yeah. I don't... know what's going on...
no subject
Date: 2011-07-13 04:58 pm (UTC)[He takes out a lighter and a pack of cigarettes without even thinking about it. Loki's never done it before, but the motion feels practiced as he lights one, and offers another to Jormungandr. Might help calm the poor guy down.]
no subject
Date: 2011-07-14 04:07 am (UTC)[He stares at the cigarettes. For a moment, he can't remember whether he smokes or not. He tentatively reaches out to take one and stares at it, uncertain of what to do with it.]
no subject
Date: 2011-07-15 07:36 pm (UTC)[Wait. No. He doesn't even know Jormungandr's family. And what on earth is he going to do with this burning stick of paper? Loki stares at it, just as confused.]
no subject
Date: 2011-07-15 07:38 pm (UTC)[Why is everything so confusing today? He's starting to wonder if he even knows who he is.]
no subject
Date: 2011-07-21 02:26 am (UTC)...that is, if you'll be able to talk.
