UN: LOKI | VIDEO

[abit_ofboth]

[Loki is dressed impeccably, if casually (at least for him) in a black, button up shirt, undone at the collar, his hair tidy and brushed back from his face. He looks confident and relaxed, though anyone who knows him might note a smidge of nervousness.]

I was hoping someone here might know of a restaurant that is not either the diner or the pub. They are both fine establishments, but I was looking for something a little more upscale and intimate for a special occasion. Any chance one of you might know of such a place? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

[abit_ofboth]

Well, I... I'm not sure I would call it that.

Do you know a place?

[decodex]

Uh, no.
I don't know anything.

No one's thought to make a map yet?

[abit_ofboth]

I believe there is one, but this place seems to change a lot. I do not trust that anything I find is accurate. Better to speak to other inhabitants.

[decodex]

That's
Troubling.

What's the occasion?

[abit_ofboth]

I suppose. There are more troubling things in life than that.

Both my birthday and Yule are coming and well, for once I do not wish to spend it alone. I suppose it is as simple as that.

[decodex]

Getting kidnapped to an unchartable land seems pretty high up there.

Yeah?
Happy early birthday, man.

Wish I had something more for you. So far, all I've really found is a set of apartments and a department store. Probably not the best place to get turned up, but it's a start.

Taking shots in the hardware aisle could be fun.

[abit_ofboth]

It is not ideal, no. Though I have been in worse circumstances. At least this time I did not lose my magic.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

There is a diner and a pub, but they do not have the atmosphere I was looking for.

That does sound like it could be entertaining, but I was thinking more about a meal.

Have you not been here long then?

[decodex]

Uh, no. Not long. A few days, maybe a week?

Think we could ask whichever bots are running the pub to spruce things up for the evening? We could probably find some tablecloths around here if we looked.

[abit_ofboth]

I see. Well, you have been very kind giving me suggestions so if you ever need anything, please feel free to ask.

I suppose that is a possibility, though I do not believe I have the means to take over an entire establishment at this time. I will look into it though. Thanks you again.

[decodex]

Sure, man.
You're welcome.

When you settle on a place, let me know.
We'll bring cake.

[abit_ofboth]

Oh my apologies, I did not mean to confuse, but I am not planning a whole party. It is more for me and one other person, but I truly appreciate that you would bring me a cake.

[decodex]

So it IS a date.

Just not a first one.

[abit_ofboth]

It is NOT a date.

Or at least that is not how I framed it when I requested their company. I just wish to celebrate with someone I met and enjoy spending time with.

Is that a date? Should I have phrased it that way?

[decodex]

Just the two of you?

In fancy clothes?
At a nice restaurant?
For a special occasion?
Because you like each other?

That's called a date where I'm from.

[abit_ofboth]

I see... I might have to be certain that that is okay. Thank you for this information. I truly appreciate it.

[decodex]

Go get 'em, tiger.

[abit_ofboth]

Thank you, I think.

[definecat]

You forgot meeting your favorite child.

[decodex]

That part's not all that troubling.

I mean, it still is.
But not in a bad way.


Probably the only good thing that's come out of arriving here.

[definecat]

I meant what you've found. You found family. That is always important. Especially the ones that don't want to kill you.

[decodex]

As true as that is, I think Loki was looking for building recommendations. Structures wherein one might host a party, birthday or otherwise.

But, yeah.
We're a family.

I like that we've got that going for us.

Is familicide something we're going to have to look forward to in our future?

[definecat]

Does the name Carnage mean anything to you?

[decodex]

Uh, yeah.

He's



Not around anymore.

[definecat]

I really hope you're certain of that. She's no pushover in my world.
