And what, may I ask, are you cultivating? Is there a specific skill or quality you are trying to develop? Or is it different for each of you? Or am I thinking too hard and farmers of your world live much longer lives?

That is more difficult to explain than I would like, unfortunately. I only recently became aware of them myself. But yes, there is a whole, large organization of people who’s job it is to take care of the timeline ensuring there is no time war between worlds. In order to be able to do that, they must live outside of time. Literally. The people there do not age even when mortal because time does not affect them where they are. I do not know the technicalities behind exactly how it works, but it is rather impressive.

Oh I see, this is how you harness your seiðr and galdr. How you manage to keep and use your magic. Is that what you mean? I spent much of my youth learning to do such things, though it has been a little easier for me than most as I was born with magic. Some say I am actually a magical being, but I have not actually proved it that were true or not.

[In all the discussions Loki has had here with others with magical abilities, so far this has seemed like the most like his own. Something he was starting to believe was specific to his own world by this point.]

I suppose you could argue that yes, but the truth is we are still learning about the multiverse. I’m sure it seems to everyone here that it is rather old, but until quite recently, there was only one timeline, one universe. We were still trying to figure out how to maintain the new and infinite number of branches when I was taken.

Those are simply our words for magic. They differ slightly in practice, but have similar results. They do both tend to occur naturally in a person, much like you describe. Magic is innate in me as it is in many of my people, both the Aesir and the Jotnar, but it is as you describe, easier for some to access than others.

That is true of my world as well. We refer to them as the Nine Realms. I was born on Jotunheim, but was raised on Asgard, two of those realms. But all the realms were of the same universe or timeline. My people were able to travel between the realms with the use of the Bifrost which allows such travel.

I can see why you might believe that, and it is still possible that this is simply another realm, but I also believe it could be a whole other timeline. Another place beyond time. I suppose the real problem is that we do not have enough information to know for sure. Something I am hoping to remedy.

I do hope that is a good thing.

Yes, though I don’t know that we necessarily do anything with them. Not everyone can travel between them easily, but I suppose it is much like travelling between countries within each realm. I seem to recall hearing that most humans on Midgard had not seen the whole of the Earth, forget other planets in their solar system.

I suppose that is true, though it may not be apart of our respective realities. It could lie completely outside of that and is bringing us all together, though for what purpose, I do not know.

Well I appreciate that. It is nice to find things in common with the people we meet here. Wouldn’t you agree? It makes things feel less… lonely I suppose. I do not have anyone here I knew before, myself. Do you?

I would guess that depends on the world. To some it is something that is commonplace and to others it is not common at all. I think, given enough time, it will happen for all worlds at some point. Most sentient beings are far too curious for it to not happen.

And it is the thing I wish to know the most. The harder it is to find out about something, the more interesting I think it must be.

Much of my life I felt misunderstood so I cannot disagree. I am glad to hear you have someone here, though I am also sorry. I do not know if you feel the same way, but I both miss my friends and am glad they are not here. It is something I have been struggling with.

[Loki doesn’t actually know why he’s telling Wei Wuxian such personal things at the moment, but he suspects it is because he feels a kinship with the other man.]

Precisely. Curiosity knows no bounds. Life would be so boring without it.

That possibility has occurred to me as well. I do wonder if something has changed though that they seem to require so many people. There are new arrivals every couple of months it seems. Is there an issue? Or can it never be sated?

[personal profile] abit_ofboth 2025-05-27 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
May I ask how you are dealing with it? I worry I have been lulled into a false sense of security after being here for so long with no arrivals of anyone I know, while at the same time knowing it could happen at any moment. Every time new arrivals appear, I find myself worried and I do not know how I will handle it if this should ever come to pass for me.

I do sincerely hope that the statues mean that their spirit has been released back home. I have seen some disappear and come back, though they are not who they were before, typically from a different timeline so I cannot say what truly happened to the person I met originally. It is disturbing to say the least.


[For some reason, that is not something Loki has considered before, but it makes an awful lot of sense.]

I think you must be correct about that. I wonder if we can find a way of discovering if its appetite has changed then. It seems possible that it is feeding more considering how many people seem to arrive periodically. That number far exceeds how many leave. So now I wonder what that reason might be. Is it simply gorging itself? Or is there something wrong that means it requires more sustenance?

[That is a feeling Loki can identify with. He’s lost a lot of people in his life and that’s something that never gets easier. Even if it just means that the people you miss are simply somewhere else. He’s been feeling that even more intensely lately. It’s like with every passing day, he misses people from home more and more. But he tries not to think about it since there isn’t anything more he can do about it.]

I am very sorry to hear that. I know how hard that can be. Losing people is never easy. I would like to offer some sage advice that you should live every moment you have with him to the fullest, but I know that words can be cheap.

I do keep trying to find more information, but they are rather good at hiding what is going on. I’m actually a little impressed. I thought I would’ve found out a lot more by now.

I agree. Gathering data like that seems rather tedious, but it is a good idea. Perhaps there is someone here who enjoys that sort of information collection? I might consider putting something out on the network. You never know what people like doing.

That is about all we can do, really. Try to enjoy what time we have even as we try to change our circumstances. Most people, I believe, do not wish to be here. At least not in the sense of not being able to leave whenever they wish. I could see this being an interesting and fun vacation, but kidnapping is not something I think anyone truly enjoys.

But you are lucky. We are all lucky that this place isn’t worse, but to have someone you care for here is something I admit to being jealous of.

I am unsure about the staff as a whole. I know that some are former guests who did not leave for varying reasons. I assume they know more than us, but I do not believe they know enough to truly understand what is happening here. Or if they did, they do not any longer. Being here for a long time seems to affect guests response to the events that occur, if the long standing guests are anything to go by.

Please do let me know if you find anything out, and I will do the same in return.

Precisely. If I saw this place advertised, I am sure I would consider vacationing here, but not only did I not get that choice, but they really chose a very inopportune moment to take me. I was in the middle of some very important work.

Thank you for your concern. I miss some people quite a lot, even more than I thought I might, but part of me is also glad they are not here. I have done some things here that I worry would change how they see me in a way I do not want.


[The idea of Mobius knowing what he gets up to in bed is both titillating and surprisingly embarrassing and he doesn’t know what he’d do if his best friend were ever to arrive here.]

I will be sure to take you up on your offer though, whenever I find myself feeling lonely.

That does seem to be the case. Somehow I suspect that they are as lost as we are, though I have been wrong before.

I am glad to hear you are at peace with your life before being taken. That is a true gift.

To most, yes. Specifically to my family and those with whom I spent most of my life. In more recent times, I have made friends with people who have allowed me to change for the better and I am eternally grateful to them. I only wish my family could see how I have changed.

[Brothers at odds? These two should be best friends. Loki doesn’t know anything about Wei Wuxian’s relationship with his brother, or even that he has one (at least not yet) but he would hope they can see a way through, like he can with Thor. His brother might annoy him with his overly optimistic ways, but Loki does love him.]

Especially when you have done wrong in their eyes and you wish for them to see how much more there can be. And thank you. It is rather unlikely with how things were when I came here, but I have not lost all hope.
