[log] OTA prompts

Who: Loki Laufeyson and anyone
When: August, generally
Where: around Gloucester
Summary: Just an open post for some Loki introductions!
Warnings: none yet

[Never one to sit idle, Loki will be spending his first few days in Gloucester anywhere he can get to, soaking in all the information and culture he can. Here are just a few of the locations he'll be causing a ruckus...]

A. ADI HQ

[Loki's first order of business is to find out what information he has access to in his new obligatory workplace. He'll be asking anyone who looks official enough, or walks with enough purpose, or holds a hefty enough keyring, if they might be willing to let him poke his head into some of the more locked-off areas. Sure, he could probably break in, but he'd like to maintain a good rapport with the company for now. This shouldn't cause so much mischief as it might... annoy. Maybe you're one of the people he's elected looks smart enough to bother?]

B. THE FLOPHOUSE

[Working with the ADI is something Loki can manage. Living under their egregious rules and curfew is absolutely not. Unfortunately, the alternative to this is to bunk up in the smallest, most cramped building he's ever been in, and he is not happy. Most of his time in Bonnie's Flophouse is spent in his room, or in a hurry to his room, or eating food that someone has been kind enough to share. (Whether or not he asks for food is up in the air.)

On top of his standoffishness, he is not very fond of... helping. He's never been anything like a flatmate before, and he very obviously doesn't spend a lot of time on chores. Nor does he realize he should contribute some supplies or groceries. The only thing he does spend a lot of time on is taking up space that should be shared. Do you have issues with his behavior? Do you, for whatever deranged reason, want to befriend him? Why not march up to the third floor and tell him so?

Don't worry, he'll surely earn his keep soon. There's just... a learning curve.]


C. COFFIN BEACH

[Loki's research has brought him to exploring the beaches in Gloucester, namely Coffin Beach. Rumor has it that shortly before his arrival, things had gone awry over here... something to do with shapeshifters, maybe? Or sea creatures? In any case, if these creatures had meant to cause harm, then they're exactly the people Loki wants to meet. For reasons.

If he sees anyone else out on the beach, they'll receive a quizzical look from him.]
I thought no one came out to this beach. Isn't it dangerous?

D. WILDCARD

[Loki will be lots of places, so if you have any other ideas, feel free to hit me up on discord or my plurk! I can definitely write a more specific starter if anyone wants one.]

The Flophouse

[William has slowly been getting accustomed to the Flophouse and his new neighbors. In contrast to Loki, he could care less about the grime and the cramped quarters, though sharing such close space with so many people was new. Still, he didn't have any roommates yet, so

He'd seen Loki pass by a couple of times but never spoken to him. At least until he's in the kitchen, spotting the other man grabbing something from the fridge that William is pretty sure is his.]


Help yourself.

[He sounds bemused but not angry, as if it's not a huge deal.]
iwanttotrustyou: (what's that now?)

[personal profile] iwanttotrustyou 2021-08-21 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a beat where he's surprised by the question, though -- well, that does explain the food theft, he guesses. Probably?]

I don't stock the fridge. Uh, I don't think anyone does? We all just buy our own stuff and stash it in there. Most of that stuff's not mine.
iwanttotrustyou: (huh well all right then)

[personal profile] iwanttotrustyou 2021-08-23 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[William nods, shrugging casually as he does.]

Yup, go for it. I bought a six-pack of those things, so there should still be a couple more left.

[Unless those had been stolen, too. He'd have to check later.]

[William definitely clocks the look of embarassment, but he mercifully makes no comment on it. If anything, he shrugs slightly and acts even more casual, answering in an easy tone:]

There's a shop in town called The General's Store, that's where I got them. You get a discount if you work at ADI, too, so that's pretty nice.
