ikols: gonna make him cream (he's my number one daddy)

video;

Evening all! I am Loki, God of Mischief and prince of Asgard! Another Asgard, alternate dimension. Long story.

[ Clearing his throat, two green eyes lean away from the viewer to reveal Loki in a green hoodie in the middle of his studio apartment, a bowl of punch and cooked dishes on the lounge table. Mayonnaise mashed potatoes, cheese-drenched meatbites, hotroot salad, veggie casserole, stuffed mushrooms, apple-baked salmon and strawberry-cream trifle ... it all looks delicious, doesn't it? It should, it's for you. How tempting, no? ]

You're invited to my old school Asgardian dinner. These are an approximation of traditional Asgardian dishes that I grew up with, some vegetarian-ised for the herbivores out there, [ because he's thoughtful like that, ] with a special haunch of slow-cooked dragon-meat glazed in honey and applesauce, then lightly roasted in breadcrumbs, for a true godly experience.

[ There it is, the centrepiece: mouthwatering. Loki looks rather pleased with himself as he turns his wrist-camera away, panning around his studio apartment that looks like it could fit a couple dozen people inside. ]

The parties our hosts have thrown are all well and good, but I'm offering a chance to chill while you pick my brain, as a resident of this realm a few lifetimes and universes over. What I know of my Asgard may not be applicable to this one although you're welcome to grill me at your leisure over the fruit punch. Non-alcoholic, apologies. Alternatively, come for the free food and make some likewise greedy friends! No shame in that! Second floor of Skadihaus is where you'll find the party, my apartment is the only one occupied, and as per the rules you'll be getting kicked out at ten.

Please leave snacks at the entrance of the apartment complex for the spider-horse napping there. Thank you!

'A little later into the party'

[ It's a nice party and Peter hasn't realized how tense and on edge he's been these last days until he had proper time to unwind. The great food sure helped, he made sure to compliment Loki about that and to bring some of his own for the god's horse.

He's a pretty social guy so it doesn't take Peter long to start mingling around the party, a drink in his hand. The horns catch his attention, how can they not? But the look on his face is less of surprise and more of recognition. Peter's used to living with aliens who come in all kinds of shape and colors, and seeing someone so obviously not human brings a smile to his face. ]


Enjoying the evening? Loki did a fantastic job setting all this up, it's impressive.

[ One brow perks, Fran lets out a soft pity laugh at least. Lets be honest it was a bit of a stretch.

That and they've never heard the saying before. They settle on a more playful tone.
]

Eheh- Having a guest over? Why? Do you plan on making a lot of noise?

[ Still, a soft breath later and Fran shakes their head, voice more neutral. ]

It hardly feels like I have housemates, though. Two of the three disappeared... and the third I haven't seen around much.
momsboy: (Awww lookit we are a team (family!))

[personal profile] momsboy 2019-09-04 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Au contraire, my friend. I was voicing my admiration. Doing all this alone requires time and dedication, I'm surprised that's all.

[ Peter is quick to brush a hand over Loki's shoulder, a charming smile playing on his lips. ]

It's been a really long time since I've been at a party, maybe my social skills are a little rusty. Most of the time I'm fighting peopel who tries to kill my team and I, not attending soirees.

[ Some time after the tour, Fran gathers a plate full of the vegetarian options, one large glass of non alcoholic punch in hand and a passive mingling smile on their lips. True to his self-proclaimed title of God, Loki does indeed throw a decent party, in Fran's opinion.

A whopping five foot nothing, her head tips back, recognition sparking quickly as a corner of their lips curls into a slight grin. Ah yes, the ginger bearded fellow. Loki's description was quite memorable.
]

I have, thank you! Though I've mostly just been looking around. Peter, was it? [ A pause to question, then explain. ] Loki mentioned you earlier, I take it you two are good friends?

Ah- And I'm Fran!
momsboy: (Let me show you my ship)

[personal profile] momsboy 2019-09-04 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ With a height of 6'2, Peter towers over his new friend but he's careful to not invade their personal space or look too intimidating. His stance is casual an open and he tilts his head a little in surprise at being recognized out of the blue. ]

I've been doing the same after enjoying the food, I admit I missed eating meat. Pleasure to meet you, Fran. And yes, I like to think we are. Not sure if Loki would agree but he sure doesn't mind of me drinking his punch...and he likes to spend time in my ship as well.

[ The nymph is hardly one to be intimidated by height, but they do appreciate the effort. The usual new person barrier isn't quite as high for now. Fran dips in a makeshift curtsy. ]

Pleasure to meet you too. [ They returned, pausing for a sip of their drink. ] He seems to like you well enough. I believe he called you a "decent fellow"~

[ As well as a few other things Fran won't repeat, not for a first impression at least! ]
momsboy: (Oh hello pretty...)

[personal profile] momsboy 2019-09-04 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The nymph would probably get along with Rocket if he were here. Deadly little thing too, the raccoon's personality makes up for his short statute. Peter had learned not to underestimate someone just because it's smaller than him. ]

Oh, god. Whatever I did to deserve that kind of slander...?[ Peter's joking, it should be obvious by his tone of voice alone, but it's really not every day that he gets called 'decent'. ] Have you been in the city for long? I don't recall seeing you before but I've been rather distracted.
hantale: (hand-on-cheek Full normal)

[personal profile] hantale 2019-09-04 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He earns a gentle laugh, at least. Fran shrugs, shaking their head for a second before answering the rhetorical question. ]

Perhaps you tickled him the wrong way~ [ That joke was more for themselves, a corner of their lips curling up a bit more. ] But I've been here for a few months... As far as I know, among the first bunch of wanderers that arrived.

It's amusing, there's so few of us, yet we've all gone our own way, isn't it? I take it you've been here a while too, then?
momsboy: ((^▽^))

[personal profile] momsboy 2019-09-04 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Peter grins at that reaction, taking a sip of his own drink before answering.

That. Or maybe it's because I had to pry him out of a cabinet. God knows how he got inside there, can't be good for his back.

[ He doesn't mind having Loki exploring or sleeping in his ship, far from that. Peter has been feeling awfully lonely without his team here and having someone around is nice. ]

Ah, like me then. That dragon who attacked us was really something, uh? I hope we don'' get to see another in a long, long time. Maybe we need more parties from time to time to get to know each other better. I'm from Earth but I lived most of my life in space, so I'm not used to being grounded for so long. What about you?
hantale: (chibi-cute)

[personal profile] hantale 2019-09-04 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ For a moment, Fran's lips trace the words 'cabinet', one can almost see the gears turning in their head, trying to imagine Loki stuck in furniture... ]

Eheh- I'm sure he'll recover, he seems the 'hard to get rid of sort', in a way...

[ If only Fran knew the half of it. ]

Goodness, yes! I was worried for a good while there... I think I spent most of that week carting humans back to the hospital.

A couple more parties like this would be nice though! I'm from... [ The problem with shared languages, it doesn't quite translate. ] I suppose it's just called 'home'... I've never been to space, but heard a little about it!

Perhaps this might explain... do you have nature spirits on your earth? Nymphs?... Turgon even called me a "Maiar"! If any of those sound familiar.

So... you wouldn't think he's a possibly deranged actor who's so stuck in his role that he can't separate reality from fantasy?

[ Sure, a refill is welcome. He idly, subconsciously, holds out his glass. ]

Uhm. It's a really ... eat or get eaten kind of society. If you're too hospitable, you're going to get eaten. Possibly literally.

I wouldn't say that.

[Spider-horses are kind of the least weird thing you could have come up with for her. Especially considering he said his name was Loki, so spider-horses are a thing - it makes sense in that context and only that context.

Plus one of her lifelong friends is descended from a literal Viking, so ... Norse mythology is a fairly comfortable wheelhouse for her.]


But since it doesn't seem like it's going to send me home anytime soon, might as well make friends with the locals, right?

Oh, well, yeah, I guess so!

[ gosh, he's never been called a seer before, how exciting. ]

I just really wanted to get out and see the rest of the world, you know?
momsboy: (Listening for real)

[personal profile] momsboy 2019-09-10 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It sounds silly, Peter is aware, but not Loki nor here are conventional people. ]

He is but I don't mind having the kid around. [ He had offered the young god one of the many rooms of the Benatar to sleep in but Loki likes doing his own thing, so he didn't push. Peter had the feeling that the brunette valued his freedom too much or wasn't used to having friends. Maybe both. ]

It was really a crazy time, I'm glad no one died. That sounds like the real miracle. And just 'home' works, don't worry. Plenty of societies have yet to reach interstellar travel, it isn't even very common on Earth. If you have questions or are curious about space, feel free to ask. And last I checked, no, we didn't have those. That's who you are?

[ Who, not 'what', because Peter was more sensible than what people gave him credit for. He had he shake his head at the new word, though. ] No sorry, this is the first time I've heard about your kind but I'd love to know more.
hantale: (eheh -dork full-norm)

[personal profile] hantale 2019-09-11 01:49 am (UTC)(link)

[ Fran's brow perks when he says 'kid', stifling a soft laugh. ]

I suspect he's the older one, if my conversations with him are anything to go by! Unless your looks are deceiving.

[ With another sip at their drink for punctuation, Fran gestures to a two-seater couch then smiles. ]

I'd love to explain, but we might as well get comfortable if we're going to be talking for a while, no?

[ The nymph doesn't even wait for a response before taking a seat, leaning on an armrest and settling back against it with a comfortable hum. ]

The most exciting things?

[ reynir appears to give this some serious thought, carefully weighing excitement against danger in various situations. ]

All of the old, untouched land that we got to travel across, walking through places that nobody had in decades, it was... it was really amazing. But I think my favorite memory from that trip was watching Anne help all of those lost spirits cross over.

[ he closes his eyes now, visualizing this particular memory as he carefully describes it to loki. ] There was this giant beam of light up in the sky like a beacon and all of the ghosts flowed into it and turned into these brilliant bright outlines of, um, lambs, I think. It was really beautiful.

He is older than me but at the same time, he isn't.

[ Real age is not what Peter is thinking about so he gives Fran a smile and leaves it at that. One can be two Millennia old and still be a child at heart. He gives a nod the idea to sit and relax and follows his new friend to the couch. ]

It's been a while since I've been to a party. Not a lot of things to celebrate back home...what about you?
hantale: (chibi-cute)

[personal profile] hantale 2019-09-19 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ They let out a soft laugh, one leg crossing over the other as he joins them. ]

Eheh- I think I get what you mean.

[ A short sip at their drink in punctuation before offering a little shrug in return. ]

Mmh- I didn't do a lot of partying with humans, at least... The odd forest revelry was fun though~ Lots of wine, food, and spirits~ [ The creature, not the alcohol. But they don't clarify. ]

Isn't a lack of things to celebrate all the more reason to enjoy yourself when you can, though?
