twelfth bite ⧗ video ⧗ open & locked, partially

[redhourglass]

[ the woman on the video is smiling, though anyone who knows her can tell you that's a pretty scary thing to be happening. still, this isn't for people who know her; it's for the general population, and she's doing her best to not be scary. for the most part, there aren't many in asgard who know who she is - at least, not by sight. she's a nobody. and she likes it that way. ]

Everyone should come to the bar I work at.

[ straight to the point, blunt. ]

You get a nice drink, I get tips, we both go home happy. I've recommended it before, but things tend to be a bit slow after mayhem.. and honestly, I'd hate to see this place close.

[ mostly because it's a cover for her to pick up all the happening gossip in the city. but if the travelers don't come, then she doesn't have anything to listen to but natives. still, she doesn't seem untrustworthy from the video, and that's the entire point. ]

Whatever you want to drink, I can make it. Or at least, something extremely similar; this place doesn't have everything you'd expect by way of alcohol. So, give it a shot.

[ attached to her message is a map to the bar and a menu. ]

locked to the avengers: tony stark, bruce banner, thor, jane foster, sif

[ the smiley woman from above is gone, but she doesn't seem unhappy. just .. back to her normal self, now that she's not pandering to the general public. really, the transformation is kind of eerie, that she can jump back and forth from personas. creepy. ]

I know Stark may have talked to a few of you, but I'm starting to get a little cramped in the housing I was given when I arrived. I'd be open to getting a place somewhere else, if anyone would be interested. I'd need a roommate; I don't earn that much at the bar. [ don't get confused, it's not because she wants to live with you guys or anything. ]

Let me know if you're interested. Preferably as soon as possible.

[ and please, someone, be open to it. otherwise she might end up living alone with tony stark, and that in and of itself is frightening. ]

[ And yet it's hardly anyone else who's willing to trust, forgive, forget. No one has, besides Thor, and he's always been a step outside of the rest.

Loki shrugs impassively, almost rolling his eyes but stopping just short. ]

As I have said, this war hardly concerns me and I care not for any of these false gods or their problems. My role has been played and I'm afraid the curtain drawn.

[ Loki smiles again, waving his hand dismissively. ]

What good is a world falling apart?

[redhourglass]

If this war doesn't mean anything to you, than I don't have to ask you to stay out of the way.

[ at least, that's the assumption. she's not stupid enough to leave him alone long enough to let him make his own choices about whether or not he wants to become involved. the moment he makes a move, she'll want to know and be prepared. ]

[tradire]

[ A smile that's smug and cold, a laugh that sounds just the same is given as he stares hard at her through the bracelet. ]

You still could. It's quite polite, you know.

[redhourglass]

[ snort. is your laugh supposed to be scary? intimidating? she doesn't seem to be bothered. ]

People call me many things. Polite isn't usually one of them.

[tradire]

[ Not at all. He's aiming for nothing right now. ]

Then I suppose I'll have to stay aware. Become... involved.

[redhourglass]

You would have done that either way.

[ particularly if she ordered him not to get involved. as if he would listen. ]

[tradire]

Perhaps so. Perhaps not.

[ Honestly he doesn't care one ounce about this Asgard or their war or anything. He does hope it burns to the ground and this time, that he's actually going to see it happen. ]

[redhourglass]

[ hey, at least she'll have help this time around; the other avengers are hanging around. even if thor isn't quite on their team re: loki. ]

Let me know when you figure it out.
