Who: Loki Odinson dothelokimotion + You
What: Fancy Opening Night
When: May 11th
Where: The Opherium, Central City
Content Warnings: n/a


( i. grand opening — mingle and drinks )

[ welcome to the opherium. open to all metas, provided you’re up to the dress code. so make sure you’re dressed to the gills with your fanciest clothes or you might just be asked to leave. you’re ushered into a grand hall. there are appetizers like shrimp cocktails and little quiches placed on large tables for you to nibble on and champagne glasses being passed around by waiters. located in the middle is a large chocolate fountain for all you dessert lovers (loki. it’s for loki). grab yourself a drink and go hit up a familiar face. ]

( ii. dance dance )

[ and of course, once the mingling and networking is done, the staff come to clear the chairs away and leave plenty of room on the dance floor. the lights go dim, casting soft shadows against the wall. slow waltzes begin to filter through the hall as gently encouragement to go find a partner, maybe hold them close, enjoy a little . . . company and more.

or maybe you just want an excuse to step on someone’s foot. equally valid. in fact, there might be a little magic in the air that tugs you towards someone you want to be with . . . ]

( iii. star gazing )

[ the party is winding down. maybe you’re ready to go back. curl up on bed after a late night with drinks and dancing. or perhaps you’re feeling a touch of wistfulness, a need to seclude yourself after all that jazz. consider then, finding yourself a nice quiet corner on the upper levels of the theatre, where there are some nice balconies for you to collect yourself.

and there are always the stars to keep you company. ]

[thecoolerloki]

There aren’t many children in attendance, take your guess.

[ikols]

Are you upset?

[ This is a bit of a frostier (haha) reception than he was led to believe he would get in the future. He moves in front of him, hands scooping up the other Loki's, if allowed. ]

[thecoolerloki]

[There’s a bitter laugh at that because honestly he has no idea.]

Who’s to say.

[And as his older self takes his hands in his, he’ll find the hands shrinking as Loki shifts back to his normal form.]

[ikols]

[ The concerned expression turns flatly suspicious (as well) when he finds himself looking down at a little fibber instead. ]

... Was it fun being tall?

[ It's the least invasive question he can ask, so he does. Pointedly. ]

[thecoolerloki]

Not particularly. The champagne tasted bad too.

[ikols]

[ He absolutely does not ask permission before lifting Loki up and sitting him on the balcony so they are of a height. That's what he gets for lying to his other self. ]

You argued with him?

[thecoolerloki]

[He allows it! Honestly he’s impressed he got this far.]

He argued with me. We were having an appropriate banter regarding my bit of dress-code mischief and I eventually relented and said I could change and then he... he referred to Stephen as my “owner”. There were other things too, it felt as if he was going out of his way to hurt me. I wondered if he had treated you similarly, but.

[Apparently they’ve been hair touching and handholding.]

[ikols]

Why would he have cause to be mean to you? You've heard worse than that sort of backchat about Stephen, surely. From me.

[ Little man, what's going on. ]

[thecoolerloki]

I don’t know! And I don’t mind teasing or the like, I do engage in such things myself after all.

I... [It’s in the phrasing. But that seems like such a small thing to get worked up over.] He made me feel as if I was doing something wrong. Despite my early protests, though, I like living there. I like going to school too, and studying.

But that isn’t very Loki-like, now that I think of it.

[ikols]

I like sushi and cooking, I don't think those qualify as very Loki things either. Who cares? Doing what you want is what matters, not being made to feel belittled or small because of the things you like. That is a very Balder way of thinking, frankly.

[ No offence to Balder, but c'mon. ]

I don't let anyone treat me any which way. If I don't like someone or their attitude, I tell them. You are allowed to tell people to get lost if they hurt your feelings first, even if they don't realise they are doing it.

[thecoolerloki]

[The issue is he used to have a little bird who would tell him constantly if his actions were Loki enough and hearing something similar made him want to lash out and prove himself.]

... I need mischief. That form wasn’t it, nor was the outfit. Even if I am proud to have fooled you of all people.

[ikols]

I am a little drunk, don't tote your pride too soon.

[ He claps his hands! ]

You want to turn finger-food into fingers?

[thecoolerloki]

Yes!!!

[And if this counts as ruining the night, he’ll just blame it on his older self.]

Angela realized immediately, BTW.

[ikols]

Angela could beat up Thor, there is much she is capable of beyond even our skills.

[ Off the balcony he comes! Loki offers him a hand. ]

If we hit the same dishes we ought to choose the fingers we're turning things into. I call thumbs!

[ They won't really be fingers, of course, but the illusions will be so strong he intends to make at least several party-goers cry and Stephen yell from afar. ]

[thecoolerloki]

[Rather than take his hand, Loki teleports onto his back. Piggyback ride!]

I’ll go with pointer fingers then. And some toes! Oh, I want to dress up the statues too!

[ikols]

[ Oof! He catches him under his legs and nods as The Plan expands. ]

Dress one up as Batman for me, make it truly horrid.

[thecoolerloki]

Any preference on which one? Odin is my first thought, but I’m open to suggestions.

[ikols]

Oh, yes, use Odin. The Bat's opinion of himself is inflated, to say the least. [ Inside they go, sticking to the eaves of the party to avoid notice. He lowers his voice to a whisper. ] Did you know he refused me shelter under his dumb cape when it was raining? And called me weird.

[ He is, obviously, they all are, but the principle of the thing! ]

[thecoolerloki]

You should steal his cape next time.

[They are in full Mischief Mode now!!!]

Do you think Loki will kill me if I adorn his statue with a Doctor Strange costume?
