Happy Mog's Day!

What's Mog's Day? Well, it's not surprising you haven't heard of it, since it isn't an Earth holiday. It's a fall celebration marking the end of the season, before moogles enter their annual hibernation. A simple drawing of a moogle (a white, vaguely koala-like animal with small bat wings) was included in the invitation. On arrival, guests will be asked to don a large red nose, out of respect for Mog. The hosts are exempt from this, given they're the ones throwing the party and all.

Want a tour of the house? The hosts are not familiar with the concept of a housewarming party, but that's essentially what this is, and any of them would probably show you around if you like. They've just moved, but there's no sign of boxes. Rather, the bookshelves and decor seem a little sparse, their belongings having migrated from a smaller space. You may catch glimpses of a large orange cat slinking around behind the furniture. He has not yet adjusted to his new surroundings, and all the strangers aren't helping.

A catered dinner is laid out on the dining room table. (They can cook, they just... didn't.) There's also a chocolate cake waiting in the kitchen for later. It's for Loki; Sephiroth doesn't really care about cake.

The nearby back door leads out into the yard, and the fire pit. Arranged on a table are some materials one might use to create a simple effigy of someone you particularly hate. There's also a bag of marshmallows, seemingly as an afterthought.

[unkindled_madness]

In this instance, isn't it?

[dothelokimotion]

And others, of course.

[unkindled_madness]

Are you thinking of any in particular?

[dothelokimotion]

Not at the moment. Why?

[unkindled_madness]

You looked for a moment as though you were.

[dothelokimotion]

I think I was just . . . taking it all in.

[unkindled_madness]

...things are quite a bit different now than they used to be.

[dothelokimotion]

I don't think any other Loki . . . had this.

[unkindled_madness]

Are you comparing yourself favorably to them?

[dothelokimotion]

[ that hits him like a jolt. ]

I . . . suppose I am.

[unkindled_madness]

[He smiles.]

Good. Then you're coming around to my way of thinking.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he chuckles. ]

Slowly but surely it seems.

[unkindled_madness]

One day they may envy you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he shivers a little. that is a heady thought. ]

Perhaps.

[unkindled_madness]

What more do you think it would take?

[dothelokimotion]

I'm not sure. A happy ending?

[unkindled_madness]

An ending?

[dothelokimotion]

Stories do end, at some point.

[ he rubs his neck idly. ]

Not that I want mine to.

[unkindled_madness]

No.

...perhaps there might be a conclusion to an act.

[dothelokimotion]

Maybe. Maybe there are things I've yet to think about, things to see to.

[ he takes sephiroth's hand for a moment, reassuringly. ]

Though none are more important than you.

[unkindled_madness]

I expect quite a few acts with you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles, kissing the top of sephiroth's knuckles. ]

Of course. Anything for my husband.

[unkindled_madness]

[He smiles.]

...I'm really coming to like how eager you are to use that word.

[dothelokimotion]

You have no idea.

[ how long has he waited? how badly did loki dream and dismiss it? ]

[unkindled_madness]

Oh? Are you holding back?
