Diary Entry 01 [video]

[dutybred]

[John is standing near his new "house", fiddling with his bracelet. He's taken everything he's heard and let it sink in before finally seeing what this bracelet can do. He's familiar enough with smartphones and webcams that he gets the hang of it fairly quickly.

His eyes glance over his shoulder to Loki house, then back to the camera. He gives his audience a charming smile]

Can someone please explain to me why Loki's colors have to be orange? I know we serve under the god of mischief, but do we have to look so tacky doing it?

Then it seems like you're in luck. No crisis over not being able to look as snazzy as usual.

[Unless he talks to that Effie woman, then he might be able to get something. Hopefully not in cotton candy pink.]

I see you've already run into Dr. Whale.

[It's weird for Will. He cannot imagine how weird it is for them.]

[dutybred]

He seems like a nice guy. He's got the face of a guy I can trust.

[ahahah]

[infomodder]

[ZING. Will appreciates a sense of humor; it seems both of these guys with the same face have that much going for them.]

It's not a bad face to have, no. Don't let anyone talk either of you into growing a beard so it's easy to tell you apart. It would be a shame to cover it up.

[dutybred]

It would be a shame, wouldn't it? Faces like ours are hard to come by.

[infomodder]

Definitely. It's a work of art. You wouldn't draw a beard on a Vermeer or glue a wig to a Rembrandt. Same thing.

[Not a real Vermeer or Rembrandt, anyway.]

[dutybred]

[oh John likes you]

Agreed. By the way, I don't think I got your name. Mine's John Gilbert.

[infomodder]

[Hopefully it stays a healthy liking.]

Will Graham. I'm in Sigyn here. Loki's wife.

[Oh, oh, he'd never really thought about that before. That's not a comfort at all, can he just hide with his dogs for the rest of the week?]

Fortunately we're not slotted in as otherworldly half-siblings when we get picked.

[dutybred]

Very fortunate. That would make going out for drinks a little awkward.

[infomodder]

Color coordinated would make it easier, if that were the case. No saying that the ring is just a family heirloom that only fits on that finger, not really a wedding ring, and then getting an angry wake-up call a few days later from a pissed off fiancee. That tacky orange couldn't be anything else other than Loki.

[Not that Will has experience with bars and picking up married women, mind. It's just the first thing that popped into his head. Really!]

[dutybred]

The choice makes a little more sense when you put it like that. Still, I think I'm keeping to my usual wardrobe.
