[Loki's face is deliberately turned to the side, showing off the clear scar under one eye, making it very obvious. He's never been grateful for that scar before, and it chafes a little to have to be pleased about it now- but at least it makes his face his.]

Ah- I'm sure there's probably an official way to do this, but alas, I have little idea of how this usually works for mortals. Gods don't often get to quit their roles in my world. We are what we are, usually...

[He tails off, face carefully neutral. As he always is when he's feeling anything particularly strongly, he's getting overly wordy again, and he knows he has to curtail himself.]

But that doesn't apply to jobs, does it? So- I quit. You'll need a new head chef, although the routine should be more or less set by now. I doubt my staying in the role will contribute much to stability or feelings of security amongst the crew, when I share a name with someone else so very publicly denounced.

[His mouth twists up in something not much like a smile at all, expression a little bitter and wry.]

I'd hate to give someone cause to be uncomfortable, after all.

Mmm. But it's not just a matching designation. We are both Loki, son of Laufey, adopted by Odin.

And besides, you've experienced what people do to people they consider "dangerous". I'd rather not be so easily found in the future.

[And besides that... the other Loki has killed dozens. Loki's lost count of how many died for and because of him, in his previous life. This is hitting a very sore spot.]

[notglitching]

Duplicates: also common.
No confusion so far.

[He can't really argue with that second point, though.]

[realitywarped]

True. But there was a Loki before me, in my own world, who died. The fact I was clearly and visibly a different Loki never stopped people from assuming me capable of all his crimes. Why should this be any different?

[notglitching]

Not your world.

Majority of users: won't care.

[Not if it didn't happen to them.]

[realitywarped]

Perhaps, perhaps not. Either way, the decision is made.

[notglitching]

Still glitched.

[realitywarped]

Oh, almost certainly.

But thank you for the support.

[At least, he's willing to assume Rinzler speaking up at all means something a little like support.]

[notglitching]

[Given Rinzler rarely bothers to comment on the network idiocy at all, that's probably a safe bet. But thanks are much harder to deal with than arguments, so he's just gonna rumble uncertainly at that text and leave things there.]
