And we succumb to the lure that is the Loki Ragnorak fandom... Which is a bit of an ego blow, because I'm pretty sure it's shoujou and I'm definitely a shonen fan.
But the Voices perked up and went "Is DETECTIVE! Like Conan! And it has a Kaitou! ... sorta. And MONSTERS. And Myths! And you should really REALLY get back to researching and re-reading your mythologies. And DEAMONS! And Comedy! And Mythology! And DEAMONS! Have we mentioned the deamons?"
*whines* Can't I read the Hindu mythos instead? Northern European myths so boring! *whine whine*
... and off they go. Think they're entertained by the idea of Heimdall blowing his horn or something... Or getting a manicure. Y'know. What ever comes first.
It was a lovely afternoon to curl up with a good book, Loki mused idly as he flipped through the pages of a thick leather bound volume, Ecchan comfortably resting on his head. Just peace and quiet and-
A door slammed below, a familiar cheerful ringing throughout the house. "Loki-kuuuuunnnn!!!"
It -had- been a lovely afternoon to curl up with a good book...
The pink-haired girl bounced into the room, all smiles and energy as she rambled about the latest mystery she had found. She took a deep breath, nearing the end of her bubbling speech. "It's a-"
"-Fushigi Mystery." He finished with her.
She blinked at him, surprised.
He smiled back, eyes dimpled shut as the merest fraction of fangs gleamed. "Jinx!"
Another blink.
"... being jinxed means you can't talk until someone says your name three times." He explained patiently, still smiling, but kinder this time.
Mayura opened her mouth to argue with this and he cut her off, raising a finger. "Your father has also commented to me that your grades have been slipping slightly since you've started mystery hunting, and that he may not be able to allow you to continue coming over if your grades continue to fall. Perhaps this might be a good time to study, and we can solve another mystery at a later date?"
He smiled angelically at her at the last part, for he was all sweetness and light and would NEVER do anything mischievous or pranksterish for some peace and quiet, oh no, not him.
Her mouth opened again, throat muscles moving as no sound came out. She shut her mouth, looking vaguely confused. And tried again with the same result.
Finally she stuck her tongue out at him and stomped off back down stairs, presumably to follow up on his suggestion, fortified with some sweets and tea from Yamino.
Ecchan made a disapproving 'punyaaan' sound at him for teasing the girl like that.
He shrugged, picking up the book again.
After all, what was the use of being a Trickster God if you couldn't have fun with it occasionally?
And it was such a lovely afternoon to curl up with a good book...
-fin-
Yamino is actually our favorite character (he's the world snake!), but Mayura makes a good comic foil.
And just something fun:

Shonen.

Date: 2003-08-25 10:51 pm (UTC)I love Celtic mythology...heh, don't know why, but I do.
Really?
Date: 2003-08-26 01:55 am (UTC)It's Shonen? *sigh of relief* Cool. Makes me feel better for some reason.
Full Metal Alchemist is one I keep running into on the Japanese net too, keep meaning to it pick up.
B Wanted? *B curious*
The Yamino being the World Snake thing rules because my first tattoo was Orberous (the serpent eating it's own tail) Aka the World Snake and a symbol of eternity.
The only piece of jewelery that always stays with me is a small silver ring of a snake biting it's own tail I made in jewelery class years and years ago. ^^;;
Yeah, I like snakes. *purrrrrrrrrs*
Tina: Northern European legends are great and all, we read them repeatedly when we were younger, but they don't click or feel quite as comfortable or -right- as some of the other legends from other parts of the world.
So we tend to get bored with them. ^^;; And same as you, couldn't tell you why.
-ICKA!
Re: Really?
Date: 2003-08-26 02:05 am (UTC)*very happy*
Any hope of you writing some Fenir and Yamino sibling interaction fics? ^^; *is hopeful*
And B-wanted, if it is the same B-wanted I am thinking of...is kinda...shojo...*coughscoughs* But it is still about kaitou!stealing! and I think magic tricks...*grins*
Re: Really?
Date: 2003-08-27 03:25 pm (UTC)Yeah, wanna play with the siblings, but need to see more of Fenir first. Have this strange image of a huge wolf playing chinese checkers with a giant snake for some reason... ^^;;
For Kaitou stories, I'll overlook the shoujo!!! ^__^
-ICKA!
