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.

First date?

[ Harold is also dressed more upscale than most, though he's in a three-piece suit and tie, completely buttoned up. His clothes are a tasteful, artsy blend of colors and patterns rather than anything staid or flashy. ]

Unfortunately not. The state of cuisine here is deplorable. I did ask for a bodega recently, which would not meet your desire for upscale, but would presumably have excellent food.

[ He admits, disgruntled, ] It's entirely frivolous, but I've been considering spending points on a restaurant when I can afford the luxury. [ But then he'd have to decide what... ]

[ A white-haired teenager is staring - well, squinting - at the screen with a dubious expression. ]

You changed your face. I don't like it.

[ Because his opinion is clearly what matters. ]

[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]

[Loki is actually kind of thrilled that there is someone else that takes his looks seriously. Loki doesn't always wear a full suit, but it is how he feels most comfortable.]

Well, I am very sorry to hear that. Does this bodega exist already? Perhaps I need to change tack and just make a meal at home. It also wouldn't necessarily live up to my desire for upscale, but sometimes doing something oneself is just as impressive.

[Loki gives him a thoughtful look. He likes the idea of starting up a restaurant.] Is there any chance you might consider a partner in such an endeavour? Perhaps we could pool our points.

[abit_ofboth]

[Loki frowns at the look, his eyebrow raising in curiosity at the unfamiliar person.]

I did not. I have always looked like this.

[So not strictly the truth, but he's hardly going to say that to this kid.

[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.

[slowmotionbuscrash]

Ri-ight okay fine. So universe thing, or maybe time thing, and I don't have the energy to figure out which.

[ He has exactly enough energy to invest in the two multiverss issues he's having in his own family. ]

I'm not superinvested in which Loki you are.

[decodex]

That's
Troubling.

What's the occasion?

[abit_ofboth]

Though I agree it could be a time thing as well, it seems rather doubtful since I do not know who you are. I would assume since you seem to know me and I do not know you that we are not from the same timeline.

[Loki raises an eyebrow. The man seems to care very little and yet he chose to answer Loki’s message. It’s a confusing reaction to him.]

So I take it you do not know of a nice restaurant then?

[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.

A special occasion?

[ Well, naturally, he's curious. ]

[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.

[tinflower]

sorry, i don't know if there's a fancy place around

but you're looking very fancy.

[ Gorgug isn't sure if the guy remembers his name, or ever got his name, but... he still wants to compliment the guy he knows was probably as infected as he was back a while ago! ]

[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.
