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.

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.

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.]

You're the Jormungandr I raised in a cave with Angrboda?

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.

[Why was it so hard to say that sound?]

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.
