As in Loki's daughter Hel? Truly? I am huge fan of Norse myths. I love them.(Adopts snooty posture, like art critic)The way they demonstrate both good and bad, and explain that there is no pure anything. Everyone is twisted. HEL:You consider me to be one of the less twisted ones,yes?(Predatory smile)JAKE:Oh, oh, yes. Absolutely, you are not really twisted, in fact I consider most of your grievances legitimate. I mean banishing children because of a supposed prophecy, honestly what kind of dumb-(almost says dumb***)dumb all-father makes those kinds of decisions. Honestly Ragnarok in the myths was primarily Odin's fault. Come on, everyone knows you have to tell adopted kids they were adopted upfront. HEL:(Inclines head, regal nod)You are wise for one so young and fragile. JAKE:Fragile? I am not fragi-JAKE is downstage off to side just standing there, whistling or humming, rocking back and forth, occupying himself while they argue. OSIRIS:(Snorts, says righteously)Of course you are, you are a child among gods. HADES:Alright there oh mighty one, calm down. OSIRIS:(Annoyed)Oh, like you are any better you weak willed sniveling-HEL:Boys, boys, that is enough, we have an actual problem hereOSIRIS:HADES:(together)What problem?HEL:Who will judge the boy?
