illyana learned something quickly: this place was nearly as dangerous as limbo. at least in limbo one knew to always expect danger, to always be prepared for a knife in the back - what else would one expect when surrounded by demons? she had made a mistake, let her guard down. a stupid mistake. 

note to self: be more careful around guards, she thought to herself as she slammed a hoof into one of the guard’s stomach. there had only been a handful and she’d been raised on war and violence, it hadn’t been much of a fight. the comments about being demonic and unholy and monstrous hurt more than the scratches and bruises she had received.

Thor would not like this. Thor would definitely not like this. Getting people to play games that he wins through cheating so he can get money isn’t exactly moral, but really, who thinks these games aren’t just scams? If both parties know it’s a scam, is it really wrong? Yeah, probably, and Loki wasn’t proud of it but this was how he had survived before Thor found him and he just needed to get enough money now and then he could be the picture of morals later. It wasn’t like he was stealing wallets anymore.

“Oh, wrong card! Bad luck.” Loki put on a tiny pout, looking sympathetically at the woman as she moved on. He then turned back to the street, trying to catch the eyes of passerbys, pout turning into a bright smile.
