You are an idiot.

Please leave me alone.

Ah... okay. Understood. Hey, can I ask you a question?

[Oh my God.]

What?

What kind of things do you like? I thought insulting people at Peter's party might have helped, but it just made me feel bad. But I need to know what it is you like, or what it is you enjoy doing, so I know how to properly coerce you into having a positive relationship with me. You're quiet, so I bet you like something artistic or equally quiet. Books or something. I could write and/or purchase for you a book? Hmm. Emotional substances are also on the table. Murder. Bribery. Sin. Blackmail. I can do it all. You just need to tell me something you value that I can provide for you to win you over.

Did you just imply that you would murder someone in order to befriend me?

[What the hell is this guy on?]

Odin, I have no interest in being friends with you. I dislike you on a fundamental level. There is not a single quality that you possess which I find appealing.

Why in the world are you so intent on changing my mind?

You know nothing about me. I have been nothing but intentionally unkind to you. Are you really that concerned that I want nothing to do with you?

Desperate measures. I am concerned with it, yeah. I don't like that you don't like me. I don't like that you've actively antagonized me in the past because of choices I've made when trying to express myself in a way that makes me comfortable. I don't like knowing there's somebody out there who actively, actively dislikes me to the degree that you do. I think I could be a really good friend to you if you gave me a chance. I can tone down the energy, and I can tone down the theatrics, and I can dress like a normal human earth man. I'm loyal and smart and brave. I'm passionate and empathetic. There has to be something I can do to make you see those qualities in me. If you're really telling me that there's absolutely nothing I can do, no alternate universe in which you might grow to like me, no possible circumstance in which I could change your mind or find a way to have you consider giving me a chance - then okay, I get it. I'll let it go. I've made my case. Just say the word.

[First of all, what in the world is with all of these supposed idiots suddenly coming to him and speaking with a level of intelligence that is that above a goldfish?

[Secondly, D33 can hardly fathom why the people that he does like would want to be friends with him, let alone this person who, by his own admission, he has actively antagonized.

[And yet, here Odin is, speaking like a normal human being, trying to logically convince D33 that he should give him a chance at being his "friend" (whatever the hell that is), because apparently he genuinely cares about what D33 thinks of him.

[Honestly, it's all so bizarre, that D33 can't even find it in him to be irritated - he's purely baffled instead.]

You do realize that I detest most everyone that I interact with?

The qualities which you have listed are of little importance to me. You know nothing of my own qualities, of which I am sure will be of little importance to you.

I do not make "friends" with anyone, Mr. Dark.

[That can't really be his name, right?]

That fact that you are so insistent upon this is entirely baffling to me. Your only interest in me spawns from my antagonizing you.

I suppose that if it is that bothersome, I will cease to give you any attention whatsoever.

[Then there's a pause, and-- God, he can't believe he's about to say this.]

If you are able to maintain a civilized tone when speaking with me, we may perhaps converse in the future.

But I do not make friends.

Please don't cease to give me any attention whatsoever. I am like that Tinkerbell girl in that human earth """movie""", in which she ceases to exist when people don't believe in her. Don't do me this way.

[ he examines this message over and over again before finally deciding not to just scream BUT WHY. WHY ARENT WE FRIENDS YET like he really really wants to. there is a great deal of effort behind this next burst of calmness. ]

Yes. That is good. Let us conversate it up, conversatorially. My foolish mermaid question was one comprising of foolishness, for fools. Forgive. What do you like to converse about? Taxes?

I know nothing of taxes.

[Pauses.]

Are you speaking of "Peter Pan"?

That's good, because I don't either. Yeah! I only saw it recently. We didn't have that kind of thing in my homeland. Television is new to me. Modern technology is new to me? Honestly, everything's kind of new to me. Swords and castles are all I know. Why?

[Uh oh. Common ground alert.]

You make it sound as though you are from a more medieval time, then.

I know nothing of any moving regarding the story, though I have had the opportunity to read the book.

Pretty much. I fought fate to save the world a couple times. No big deal. Did you like it? The book, I mean. Not the thing I said about saving the world, cool though it may have been.

I found the book to be quite enjoyable, yes.

It is my understanding that it is rather well-known in this world. A "classic", as they are called.

[He's not going to give you the satisfaction of commenting on the whole "saving the world" thing because, "sounds fake, but ok".]
