"Not impossible, I suppose."

"No, considering we've met one of me who is a god, and one of who is a different sort of god."

"There's plenty who say Asgardians are a kind of god. Not that much of anyone's worshipped us in a few centuries."

"The gods we know do actually get material benefit from being worshipped."

"Odd. We're certainly different than mortals, but there might be differences of degree - and there's magical things I could do more easily in the role of a god, but those are mostly niche nowadays."

"The role of a god?"

"Our magic's - or at least my magic's - all about story. Tell a pretty little lie to the universe, get it to believe just long enough that things are a certain way. One of my titles is Father of Lies, and invoking that - helps, somewhat. My brother Thor is quite a bit more powerful when he remembers - or invokes that - he's God of Thunder, too."

" - Norse mythology Loki?"

"The one and only! Don't ask about the horse thing, everyone asks about the horse thing and it's kinda annoying."

"Not being from an Earth myself, I am unfamiliar with the 'horse thing'."

She snorts. "Fine. Guess I brought it up anyways. My father's horse Sleipnir is magic and sapient. The Norse had some very overactive imaginations about where he and some other similar monsters came from, and I was the convenient shapeshifter around, known for ignoring rules about who not to sleep with. They thought Sleipnir was my kid, and mostly ignored me pointing out I don't have kids, and then some dick wrote down the most conveniently Christianity-compatible stories he could find, and 'the slut is a mother of monsters' was a good one for that. - Christianity is a monotheistic religion popular locally, very prone to annoying rules."

"Ah. I see how that could grow tiresome."

"Humans mostly don't recognize my name anymore, so hanging out on Earth generally isn't so bad."

"Is Asgard disagreeable?"

"It's a court, and I'm a princess there, and people have been holding the same petty grudges for centuries. It's... Tiresome."

"Ah. It sounds that way."

She nods. "What are you guys thinking of doing while you're here?"

"We don't really have any specific plans. This is a vacation."

"Want a tour guide, then?"

"That would be very kind of you."

"No problem at all! What sort of a tour do you want?"

"One suited to new visitors to this world, perhaps. Whatever you consider the highlights not-to-be-missed."

"Most people think the palace is pretty exceptional, and I'm friends with the kids of one of the Princesses so can get you guys past security... Though there's also a lot of neat museums, and zoos, and architectural sites. I tend to prefer art and history museums, and I'm guessing Mora's the same - what about you?"

"History would be welcome, though I find art for its own sake tends to rather pass me by."

"History it is. And we probably have a different history than the other Earths - have either of the ones you guys know about had a Unification?"
