[/size]“Hi, I’m Nova and this is my daddy. Sometimes people call him Loki but I like calling him Daddy better. He’s...twenty-six years old and his birthday is August 24th, six days before mine! He’s all done school now and writes books for his job. He says it’s the best job ever because he doesn’t hafta’ work in an office. He can stay home and work with me and get paid. Sometimes he reads the stories to me for bed time.”
MOTHER.[/color]
Oh, where to even begin with Loki. Well, we certainly named him right, that’s for damn sure. He was a wild one before he was even born, always kicking and moving around. A bundle of trouble, that boy. But, you know, he meant no harm. He’s never meant any harm. We raised him right, me and his father. He made some mistakes, but everyone does. He was one of those boys who had to learn for himself. Always coming home covered in bruises, never telling us where they were from. He seemed happiest when he was causing trouble. Watching my baby boy make the wrong choices was hard as a mother, but I did what I had to. I let him learn for himself. I let him make the mistakes he needed to. He didn’t let a few wrong turns break his dreams though. Loki, always filled with imagination and dreams. I’m proud of him. He turned his life around with Nova was born. That girl was, is his world. I’ve never seen a more dedicated father. I think he’s trying to be what his own dad couldn’t be. Earl wasn’t always around. Times were tough and he worked several jobs to keep up. Loki’s making up for his wrong choices. I’m so proud of my baby boy.

OLDER BROTHER.[/color]
Uhg. Loki is so weird. It’s embarrassing. Why can’t I have a normal brother? You know, one who isn’t always trying to wear a cape to school and knows how to match his shoes. I swear Mom musta’ dropped Loki on his head as a baby, because he’s such a weirdo. I hate having to tell people we’re related so I tell everyone Loki was adopted from a crack addict. I swear he acts like this on purpose just to annoy me. He’s always doing stupid and crazy things in front of my friends. They all think I’m weird like he is and tease me for being related to him. It’s not fair and I hate him so much. Mom says it’s just a phase but he’s been like this since he was born.

FAVORITE TEACHER.[/color]
Loki Follet, now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. Loki was certainly not someone you’d forget easily. He would never let that happen. Wherever he went he was doing something extravagant and attention grabbing. It was refreshing while simultaneously aggravating. He wasn’t one for following rules and he wasn’t one to sit and be quiet. He was loud and rambunctious and often more than I could handle. It wasn’t hard to see that school was simply too boring for him. It didn’t catch his attention, so I tried to liven up my classes for him. Low and behold, the more involving the classes got the calmer Loki became. He still broke rules, but that was to be expected from someone like him. Even so, Loki tried to be a good person. He tried to help out his classmates even if he gave them the wrong answers. He cheated on tests and was always being sent to the head master’s office, but he always walked with a smile on his face. He had this odd way of seeing a light in the darkest of situations. His light wasn’t like everyone else’s though. His was colourful and eccentric. Loki wasn’t your typical teenage boy by any means. We kept in touch after he graduated but he stopped sending letters and visiting after three years. I often wonder what became of him.

HATED TEACHER.[/color]
Oh, that boy was a complete menace. In all my years of teaching I have never taught a boy quite like him. He refused to follow rules and was always causing trouble. He was caught cheating on one of his exams and tried to sweet talk his way out of it. I don’t know why he even bothered going to college, he’s never going to make it anywhere in life. If he wasn’t sleeping through my lectures he would throw paper at the other students. Paper he ripped out of his text books, might I add. I’m fairly certain he attended class high on drugs quite a few times as well. He would rave about people and creatures that weren’t there and wander around class like the idiot he was and usually ended up leaving. I was not surprised in the slightest when he dropped my class and then dropped out of college. He wasn’t going anywhere with his life and probably lives on a park bench.

FIRST EMPLOYER.[/color]
Loki was fifteen when he started working with us. I was a manager at Chuck E. Cheese at the time and he usually worked with the birthday parties. He started as a cleaner but tended to butt into the parties to add a little “spice” to them. He was really bad at doing the cleaning because he was constantly distracted, but he was great at coordinating the children and making sure the parties went well. He wasn’t so good at the scheduling aspect, usually double booking parties or neglecting to write down the parties in the books. Anything like that he was usually very bad at, like receiving deliveries and doing any accounting. In the end we simply had him coordinating the parties and making sure they went well. It was a great way to keep his short attention span and the kids loved him since he acted just like they did. He recently moved on though, which is a shame. The parties aren’t the same without him.

WORST ENEMY.[/color]
Don’t even get me started, the kid needs to be committed to a nut house, I swear. He’s such an idiot. I try and be nice when I’m around Apollo and his family, but it’s so fucking hard. Loki’s an idiot and so bloody annoying. I just kind of smile and nod when their family is around but the second the ‘rents leave it’s a free for all. Apollo doesn’t care what I do to Loki so the kid’s free game. I once put itching powder in his underpants and socks. We also convinced him that poison oak some poison oak was the kind of thing you’d want to bring the girl you like. Yeah, she wasn’t impressed when the rash broke out.

PAST LOVER/BABY MAMA.[/color]
I know we pretended to be serious, but Loki and I were never really the picture perfect couple everyone thought we were. We met at a party and had sex while drunk and on heroin. We kept running into each other at parties and would just kinda’ go off and do our own thing. As long as we were both high we got along but the second we were sober we’d be at each other’s throats. Every time he smiled I’d be pissed off and he would try and be all romantic and shit like we actually meant something to each other. He was a complete idiot and needed a reality check. He thought we were in a relationship when I only needed him for a place to stay and someone to get drugs from. We were both in rough spots but at least he had somewhere to live. When I got pregnant he was all excited and actually thought that I was gunna’ keep the thing. I wanted an abortion but he said if I kept the baby and put it up for adoption he’d give me all the money to his name. His family is well off so I went with it and we both got clean. The second the kid was born I peaced and left him to deal with the papers and shit. I don’t really plan on talking to him ever again and no, I don’t care about where the kid is. It’s not mine as far as I’m concerned.

NEIGHBOR.[/color]
Oh, he’s such a nice young man. After my husband died and my children and grandchildren moved away I got very lonely. Loki and his sweet little girl Nova moved in and it’s been an absolute delight ever since. He’s such a helpful boy, always offering to clean the house and do the gardening for me. Nova eve helps, bless her little soul. I don’t mind watching her for him. Loki is like a ray of sunshine, always smiling and always coming up with something creative to do. He’s told me about the rough patches of his life but he’s done such a good job at moving on. Loki’s raising the perfect little girl. She’s like a granddaughter to me and Loki is like a son. I really hope he doesn’t get himself into trouble again.

SELF.
My name is Loki and I’m the king of a magic land called Achoo. You know when you feel like you’re gunna’ sneeze but you don’t sneeze? All of those lost sneezes go to Achoo and turn into evil fairies. I’m the king there and I make sure they don’t get too evil. It’s a big job so I can’t do much here in the human world. I also have a hard time blendin’ in with humans. People think I’m weird but that’s ‘cause they don’t understand the land I’m from. Playing pretend all the time is tiring. When I was a baby my fairy friends put me with a family to keep me safe from our enemies. That’s my mommy and daddy and big brother. Even if they’re just humans I still love them. Well, only Apollo sometimes. When he’s not picking on me or making me go away. One day, when I’m not king, I wanna’ paint the yellow lines on the road. I don’t wanna’ do a job like Daddy’s or Mommy’s. I wanna’ have a fun job. I’m not good at other stuff but I’m good at having fun.
