Hela. ...Hela? Hel? [Name? Checks out. Name sounds familiar. Sister? DOES NOT. He frowns at this. Japanese folklore is a little more important to his heritage, after all.]
[He hums for a split second, then Setsuna sighs.] Because the asshole decided we were all failures and sinners and starting over would be better. So he wants to wipe us all out. I'm supposed to stop him.
.... [Intense frown. Well, no wonder she wasn't happy!] What is it with gods confining their kids to fates they don't want?
[Setsuna nods his head to Thor, at first not wanting to voice the reality.] Yeah. I was about to kill him when I got pulled here. Which is why I'm worried I got killed by him before I could end that crap.
[Setsuna has to take a moment and drink before answering that.] Yeah. Our God turned my past life and her brother against each other. And forced our Lucifer into his role of rebelling against him. He sucks. [Another drink.]
I'm not leaving here without everyone else. [He reaches for Thor's hand - his bro-skills are overtly touchy-feely.] We're all getting out of here.
She doesn't sound like a very pleasant god, no. [It makes him wonder for a moment why he's so willing to get close to Thor, given what he must know about him.]
Ah-- [He pauses before he turns his hand over in that touch, giving his hand a squeeze lightly.] Of course. We won't stay here.
He isn't a pleasant god...or it. [Setsuna sighs at that.] He's technically a computer. [That whole thing was still processing when he ended up in Hell.] My past life though, she was a woman. I think. She spent all of her lives after that wanting to be a man, and making me.
[Setsuna squeezes Thor's hand in return and nods.] None of us. I'm not leaving anyone behind.
You're right. It's not easy, considering. But maybe that's why it's so important. [He stares into his mug for a while, then gets another beer. Finally he turns back to Thor.]
But I like the way rabbits will sit with you, and just patiently be pet for ages. And birds give back in song. [Might also have to do with the Garden of Eden....]

Why would God want an apocalypse?

[And she wasn't happy -- understandably, but it had caused a few issues.]
That's a heavy burden. Do you know how to stop him yet?
no subject
[Setsuna nods his head to Thor, at first not wanting to voice the reality.] Yeah. I was about to kill him when I got pulled here. Which is why I'm worried I got killed by him before I could end that crap.

[He gives a nod though.] We will get you back soon with any luck. Lucifer can hardly keep us all here forever.

[Though he pauses at the touch.] No, none of us will be left behind. You're not in this alone, Setsuna.
no subject
[Setsuna gives a nod, and tries to look more composed.] Yeah. Not alone. Neither are you.
no subject
We should find something-- lighter to speak of.
[Not of death or murder or insane gods. It's why they're here, isn't it? To distract themselves from the horrible things.]
no subject
You're right. It's not easy, considering. But maybe that's why it's so important. [He stares into his mug for a while, then gets another beer. Finally he turns back to Thor.]
So...Thor, you like animals?
no subject
I do. [He gives a wry smile.] Snakes, especially. Do you?
Snakes.... SAW WHAT YOU DID THERE!
I like all animals. But...I really like birds and rabbits the most. [A pause.] I think.
he can't help it!!
[He gives an amused look at that.]
You don't sound certain...
no subject
But I like the way rabbits will sit with you, and just patiently be pet for ages. And birds give back in song. [Might also have to do with the Garden of Eden....]
But you prefer the scaly ones?
no subject
[Although given his life, he doesn't particularly have time for one.]
I think they have their charm.
wrap this up?
[Setsuna had never had a pet himself. He'd probably feel the same about time on his end.]
Snake Charmer.
Yeah, we can!
Snake Charmer? I only wish, I'm afraid.
Aiming in that direction
If I figure out how to charm a snake, I'll let you know.
[And later, once he knew Loki turned into a snake, he might start wondering about the snake conversation. Maybe. If he was sober.]
no subject
[He likes snakes apart from Loki as well, honestly... although Loki may be the one he's most fond of at the moment.]
Are you going to rest now?
no subject
[He'll worry about all that Loki stuff later.]
Yeah. I'm kinda tired. [He does reach over to give Thor a good-night hug, though.]
no subject
Go and rest.
