WHO: Loki, Erik, Adrasteia & y'all WHAT: Catch-all WHEN: Late Solace / Early August WHERE: Kirkwall NOTES: Language warning for Erik, otherwise nothing yet. Open starters in comments.
Loki makes a non-committal noise, not meeting her eyes at all before he sniffs and then shrugs. "It was predicted; foreseen, even. The reality of it was a bit different from the stories, however."
Her question does get him to raise his eyes again before he nods. "Yes. Surtur and Hela saw to that."
She doesn't try to look at him, while he speaks. Abby understands all too well the pain of losing a home, even feels slightly uncomfortable as she stands there, the books in her hands.
"Considering the fact that the last thing I remember was being erased from time, I don't particularly feel that I have much choice in the matter." He shrugs a little; what can you do. "Though I'm told that we are either dreams or whims of this world's 'Maker', so perhaps my choice has quite a lot less to do with what happens than I would like." Distasteful, honestly.
"Where I'm from there's something called the Time Variance Authority, which erases people from time when they meander too far from what they call 'The Sacred Timeline' through the liberal use of free will or random happenstance. I don't think they've gotten this far, however."
"If it's random, how can they punish you for it?" It sounds far too easy to move away from the Sacred Timeline... not to mention that it brings the idea of destiny into play, something Abby has never subscribed to personally.

Like, in that case–
"How... does that even happen? The getting erased from time thing, I mean."
