Neither of those examples are in the first person. They are in script format.

A better way to do that would be like this:

Third person omniscient:

Loki entered the room and noticed, angrily, that Stark was there. Disgust of the puny human rose in his gorge. Did he not know he was in the presence of a god? "Kneel to me!" he cried out.

Stark looked up from his work and gazed at this new distraction. And what a distraction it was: it wasn't every day that you saw someone with shimmering silvery body paint dressed up in some sci-fi version fetish gear walk into your work space. Well, at least not without paying for them to be there. But here was this... person, looking -- was that outrage? How adorable.

"Yeah, no," he said, grinning.

Third person limited:

Loki entered the room and noticed, angrily, that Stark was there. Disgust of the puny human rose in his gorge. Did he not know he was in the presence of a god? "Kneel to me!" he cried out.

Stark stood still for a second, then his eyes rose and lowered as if assessing Loki, pausing longest on Loki's tight leather clad crotch. "Yeah. No," he said with a slight upturn of his lips.

First person:

At first I ignored the footsteps behind me. I wasn't expecting anyone, but when you own a company the size of mine, interruptions are just part of the sparkling ambiance. Usually if I ignore a peon long enough, they'll figure out how to go away without me having to do anything.

This time, though the steps didn't pause at the door, then go away. Instead a loud voice rang out. "Kneel to me!"

The fuck?

I turned around and saw him there. What's his name. Loki. Thor's brother. Right. He looked like he'd been dipped in silver paint and dressed in some Star Trek meets gay leather club number. I checked out his ass for a moment before responding to his words. "Yeah, no," I said. Kneel to him. Hilarious.

Now as you see, different kinds of information come to the fore depending on which POV you are using. The same scene and the same words have a different feel to them.

Excellent examples. And the last one made me grin all over my face.

*fistbumps you* So glad someone took the time to respond with terrific examples like these (and so funny!).

Now this is more like it! Great examples, great writing.
