MHA Lobby, Friday

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

The residents of MHA would probably either notice or hear a bit of a ruckus down in the lobby today. That was because Loki had taken it upon himself to start decorating the lobby for the upcoming holidays. He wasn't particularly fond of turkey (too dry) or eggnog (unless it was laced with something) but he did like decorating.

Just a little bit.

Shut up.

Of course, he wasn't the best at decorating. In fact, he really fucking sucked at it. There was a strand of lights looped around his neck like a necklace, some twinkling, some burnt out.

"Fucking lights," he grumbled. "One fucking bulb blows and the whole entire thing is ruined."

There was a turkey (not a real one) hanging on one wall, stapled to said wall with heavy staples. There was garland taped to the desk with duct tape. There was wreaths gracing the walls (some missing some of their needles) and there was a candle burning, giving off the scent of Christmas cookies.

"Work you fucking pieces of shit!" Loki nearly yelled. The lights didn't respond. In the background, Christmas droned on.

[MHA is open! Rent a room, talk to Loki, boggle at the decorations! Look, if I can't escape holiday decorations, I'm going to go overboard!]

Talk to Loki!

Talk to the angel who can't decorate for shit! Yell at him for the noise!

It was fairly impressive when one could swear they'd heard the shouting from a few floors up.

"Need a hand?" Daisy offered, although she was thinking Loki could use a bit more than just her two for help.

Re: Talk to Loki!

"Do you have a magic non bulb working detector?" Loki asked before looking over at her and smiling briefly. "Or are you just that damn good?"

Pause.

"Or do I really just suck at this? It's been awhile since I had a place to decorate."

Re: Talk to Loki!

"Could be a combination of the last two," Daisy grinned a little. "But I can't really claim any particular expertise. All I know is that with as big of a thing as you've looked to make this out to be, the more help, the better, and I've got at least a bit of time before I need to worry about being late for work."

Re: Talk to Loki!

"Then, I welcome the help," he said, ignoring the strand of lights around his neck for a moment. "All this shit was on sale and I had the money so why not, right? I thought it'd make this place a little...brighter. I don't know. Fuck, I sound so domestic."

Re: Talk to Loki!

Daisy laughed; she couldn't help it. He really did, considering that whole string included only one very minor swear until he realized it. She waded through some of the holiday paraphernalia, hoping to find some spare bulbs so that she could help track down the blackout culprit. "It suits you!" she chimed in. "About as well as those lights 'round your neck do."

"You think I look good with twinkling lights around my neck and a staple gun in my hand?"

Well, that just called for...

...a really corny ass pose. What the hell was he doing?

Posing, yes. He really did.

Re: Talk to Loki!

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"I said it suits you," Daisy corrected with a laugh, finding a pack of lights and inspecting them a moment before deciding if they'd do. "Make of that what you will."

A staple gun, at least, was a little better than a flaming sword. Not much, but at least the only infractions being made with it at the moment were against that poor wall.

Too bad there wasn't a home improvement store on the island, because then Daisy would know just what to get her landlord for Christmas; he'd need it once it came time to take all this fanfare down.

"I take it as a compliment from a pretty lady," he said and winked. "Besides, the twinkling lights gotta bring out my eyes, right? Or maybe they make me look really fucking mysterious?"

He didn't know. He was just talking. He dropped the staple gun on the counter and picked up a red Santa hat.

"Think I should wear this?"

Re: Talk to Loki!

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

As if she was going to say no!

"Of course! I knew something was missing; that must be it!"

Dutifully, Daisy had stationed herself beside an outlet, plugging in a string of lights to verify that this was one of the shorted out, then, unplugging it, started to switch out the bulbs, plugging it back in to see if she'd gotten right one. Lather, rinse, repeat, but she didn't look one wick bothered by the ensuing tedium of the tasks she'd decided to contribute to.

Loki examined the hat briefly before tugging it on his head, just above his ears. He looked up in an attempt to see what it looked like but failed miserably.

"Bet this is the first time someone like me has worn one of these," he said. "At least it doesn't make my head look like some kind of fucking peanut."

He hoped.

"How're those lights? Did I buy every goddamn non working one in the store?"

Re: Talk to Loki!

[justice-beat.livejournal.com]

"Betcha anything," Daisy said, "that it's going to be the last light on this string. Of course, if I just cut right to it, then it'll be somewhere in the middle. Wouldn't it figure?" She unscrewed the new light she'd put it to put back to the older, apparently still working one back in, and glanced up before moving onto the next to get a load of the hat.

"Awww," she said with a grin. "I like it!"

Biff was bored like a bored thing that only worked on Sundays.

He wandered into MHA, stopped and stared.

"This place looks like Christmas puked everywhere."

Re: Talk to Loki!

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Which means it's fucking awesome!" Loki proclaimed, Santa hat still on his head. "Go me!"

Re: Talk to Loki!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

Biff cracked up. "What'd the turkey do to piss you off?" he asked.

Re: Talk to Loki!

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Wouldn't stick to the fucking wall with tape," Loki said and glared at the turkey. "It's lucky I didn't put a staple between its eyes."

Re: Talk to Loki!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

"It'll serve as a warning to poultry everywhere," Biff said solemnly. "Is it time for the holiday already? 'Cause I feel compelled to tell people that Josh wasn't born in December."

Re: Talk to Loki!

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Yep," Loki said, nodding and gesturing to the proverbial cornucopia of decorations around the counter. "And just try telling them. They won't fucking believe you. They know better than you or me. I find that really funny."

Re: Talk to Loki!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, 'cause the Church wouldn't lie to them or something," Biff said, rolling his eyes. "Tell some of the ones with no sense of humor at all that it was taking over a pagan holiday? Their heads almost pop off. It's great!"

Re: Talk to Loki!

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"One reason to decorate," Loki decided. "Have someone come in and wish me a merry whatever and I can give them a fucking history lesson. Unless they're hot."

Re: Talk to Loki!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

"Then they don't really need to know," Biff agreed. He beamed. "I got to show Daisy around town," he said, waggling his eyebrows.

Re: Talk to Loki!

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah?" He offered a bow to Biff. "How'd that go?"

Re: Talk to Loki!

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

"She came in to chat with me at work on Sunday, so I can't have done anything too horrible," Biff said with a grin.
