[Riley is sitting in the middle of her room at Loki. She's got a candy bar in one hand and a sheet of paper in the other. Grinning, she takes a bite of the candy then shifts about to lean back against her bed. There's boxes all over it.]

Okay... [Yes, Mags. She's talking with her mouth full again.] Fo. We've ha' fum... [She swallows.] ...shit storms recently. I think it's time to lighten the mood and ask a really fucking serious question.

[She puts on a serious face and points at the paper with her candy.] Would any of these... [She points at the world at large with the candy.] ...work on any of you?

[With that, she clears her throat and looks over the paper before giving everyone her sexiest look.]

Hey, baby. That's a nice shirt. Can I talk you out of it?

[Her lip trembles as she tries not to just bust up laughing.]

If you think you feel good, you should feel me.

[She lets out a snort.]

Hey babe! There's a party in my pants and you're invited!

[Okay no. She's done. Riley busts up laughing because all of these are so bad!] Who the hell uses this shit? It's more likely to get you punched in the face!

[She grins at him.]

I knew you would. You're a big boy and everything.

[secondborn]

That's what they tell me.

[everysecond]

That you're a big boy?

[secondborn]

[He laughs.]

Something tells me this is a trick question.

[everysecond]

I would never do that to you.

[Lies. LIES.]

[secondborn]

Of course not! You're the soul of trustworthiness.

[everysecond]

Of course I am! How could you not trust this adorable face?

[secondborn]

It sure is difficult.

[everysecond]

You mean you don't trust me? I'm so hurt.

[secondborn]

I trust you in some things. But not in others.

[everysecond]

So hurt, Ally. So hurt.

[secondborn]

...Ally? That's one I haven't heard before.

[everysecond]

I've decided it's my nickname for you since you can't have Al.

[secondborn]

Why can't I have Al?

[everysecond]

Because that's taken.

[secondborn]

All right, I can live with that, I guess. I'll just have to get used to it.

[everysecond]

Awwww. Thanks, Ally.

[secondborn]

No problem.

[everysecond]

So, you need to pick a time when you're free. I've decided we're having a water balloon fight.

[secondborn]

Oh we are? Well I'm glad I have some warning at least.

[everysecond]

Well I was just suddenly going to drop a bucket of water on your head but I decided you should have ammo too.

[secondborn]

[He laughs.]

That's so considerate of you!

[everysecond]

I cannot promise my balloons won't have glitter in them too though.

Prepare to sparkle.

[secondborn]

[Alastair sighs and shakes his head, grinning.]

You know, originally the gods told us the reason they brought us here was to bring color back to the city. I'm not sure this is what they had in mind.
