MHA Lobby, Tuesday

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

Twas two days before Christmas and all through the lobby, the decorations were twinkling and Loki was reading like it was a hobby.

Or like he was utterly fucking bored. One or the other.

There was a stack of gifts on the desk, messily wrapped and slapped with bows to cover places where the paper ripped or ran out. There were actual gifts in the boxes but Loki had gotten bored halfway through and forgot what was in which box. That'd make for some interesting reveals whenever he started randomly giving them out to people he tolerated.

...people he liked. Shut up.

For now, the lobby lights were off and he was reading by Christmas lights.

[MHA is oooooooooooopen! ETA: If you come in after Biff, Loki's wearing this hat! Feel free to notice!]

Talk to Loki

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

He's got gifts! And he's friendly!

Hahaha.

Sometimes.

[He'll give a gift to just about anyone. BUT. The gift might be something completely inappropriate and/or a gag gift for those he doesn't know very well.]

Simon figured he should have done this a long time ago, and Loki had probably figured out for himself that Simon didn't want the apartment, but perhaps the holiday made him in a better mood.

He entered the lobby. "Good morning. I just wanted to let you know that I'll be staying at the hotel, so I won't be needing an apartment."

Re: Talk to Loki

Loki looked up at the entrance and started smiling when he recognized the guy who'd been in a few weeks ago.

"Aww, too bad!" Loki said, snapping his fingers in mock sadness. "I was so hoping you'd choose this place. We could have been the best of friends."

Re: Talk to Loki

[fancypantsdoc.livejournal.com]

"I doubt that," Simon said, although he smiled back, looking amused at the idea. "But I wanted to let you know."

Re: Talk to Loki

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"What made you change your mind?" Loki had to ask. It seemed like the thing a landlord would ask even if he didn't much care.

Re: Talk to Loki

[fancypantsdoc.livejournal.com]

After a pause, Simon decided to be truthful. "Your attitude left a lot to be desired."

Re: Talk to Loki

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"It's part of my charm," he said and smiled sweetly. "But really, you're going to let one person's attitude stop you from doing something? That's cute!"

Re: Talk to Loki

"I have a comfortable room at the hotel, and Mary insists I can stay," Simon replied, making a little too much of an effort to keep his voice calm. Perhaps that was due to that 'cute' comment.

Re: Talk to Loki

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"It's also a hotel," Loki said and rolled his eyes. "Which means it's not really your space. You get someone else's used towels."

Biff came into the room rocking a ridiculous (http://www.chachaboutique.com/grfx/sock_monkey_hat.jpg) awesome piece of headgear, a gift in his hands. "Peace on earth, give me presents!"

Re: Talk to Loki

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Aww, but peace is so boring!" Loki said, reaching for the gift (http://www.smithbrothers.com/product.asp?pn=X3-42023&sid=nextag&CATALOG_CODE=SX832&EID=X3832001&zmam=1460880&zmas=2&zmac=37&zmap=X3-42023) that he'd gotten special for Biff. "And that's is quite the fucking hat. Wow."

Re: Talk to Loki

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

"I got it free with my purchase of other awesome hats," he said, tossing Loki his gift (http://www.foureyesjokeshop.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=884) before tearing into his. "Hot," he proclaimed, grinning.

Re: Talk to Loki

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"I thought you'd like those," Loki said, ripping into his own and then laughing with delight when he saw it. "My hat!"

And it was already on his hat. Now they matched in awesome headgear.

"Any good Casanova has to have a good pair of leather chaps. You almost got a pink cape."

Re: Talk to Loki

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

"I think the cape might've clashed with my feather boa," Biff teased, pulling the chaps out and laying them up against his legs. "These'll get a lot of use," he said. "Thanks!"

Re: Talk to Loki

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"If you ever go out riding bulls, you have to let me know so I can come and laugh at you," Loki said. "Meeeeeeeerry Christmas, ho ho ho."

His Santa impression needed work.

"You're welcome. Glad you like them. Thanks for my hat!"

He spun the propeller.

Re: Talk to Loki

[nojesusfreak.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome," Biff replied, "even if your Santa impression needs work."

The thing about following a pony around town, which seemed to be Tyler's job this week, was that sometimes the pony called Tony decided they needed to visit a completely inappropriate place, just because he thought there might be some hot women there.

Or something. Tyler couldn't read Tony's mind, but he definitely trotted up to the MHA entrance and glared at Tyler until he opened the door, then swept on through with a swish of his tail.

At least he knew the guy behind the counter.

"Merry Christmas," Tyler greeted. "I have no idea why we're here. It was the pony's decision."

Re: Talk to Loki

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" Loki said, looking up from his book! "Tyler and...a pony. How cute? Did you actually get a pony for Christmas?"

Re: Talk to Loki

[tyler_gone]

"No, but if he doesn't turn back soon I'll go to the mainland and auction him off to make some little girl real happy," Tyler threatened.

The pony snorted. He knew Tyler would do no such thing.

"He's my friend. Loki, this is Tony Stark. Tony Stark, Loki."

Re: Talk to Loki

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"We've met," he said and waved at the pony. He kept most of the laughing on the inside. "Once. I think he thought I was homeless because I was lounging on one of the benches in the park."

Re: Talk to Loki

[tyler_gone]

"That sounds like him," Tyler agreed. "I think he thinks being outside is slumming. Which does not make life easy when you're a cute little pony."

The "cute, little," was mostly for Tony's benefit; the novelty of a pony comapnion had long since worn off, and Tyler just enjoyed poking at him.

Re: Talk to Loki

[flipped-god-off.livejournal.com]

"How long's he been a...pet?" Loki asked just because he thought it might piss Tony off.

Re: Talk to Loki

[tyler_gone]

It worked; Tony bared his teeth at Loki before he remembered he was far too cool for that and made an elaborate show of interest in the holiday decorations.

"Since the 14th," Tyler said. "Seems like a little bit of a marathon run, but I've never been an animal so I don't really have a gauge."

I wish everyone at work would go on vacation so I could goof off more often than I do.
