[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.]

When given the choice between cushy, all-inclusive room and board with the ADI, or scraping by with the other misfits at Bonnie's, Jeff went with Bonnie's for, well, pretty much the same reasons as Loki. Fuck the rules. Fuck the curfew. Fuck the no-magic-allowed bullshit.

He may not be much use at DIY home repairs, and he's not a particularly thorough cleaner, and boy, nobody should ever be subjected to his version of cooking, but Jeff tries to contribute in one way he knows how: groceries.

He drifts into the kitchen just in time to bump into Loki, greeting the god with a dreamy smile and a drawled out, "Heeey, dude..."

It may be morning for most people, but Jeff's just coming in from the night. But hey, at least he comes cradling an armful of gifts: a plastic bag full of croissants, a bag of assorted muffins, and a bag of fruit danishes that have seen better days (seriously, it looks like a jammy crime scene in there).

"Want one?"

They 100% came from a coffee shop's dumpster.

sorry for the delay! unexpected hiatus followed by the event threw me off track

Jeff shrugs agreeably, depositing the baked goods on the nearest counter. There we go, free croissants for the flophouse, which means Jeff's done his part and contributed for the day, far as he figures.

Jeff's eyeing his offerings, seemingly deep in thought as Loki starts to leave. Should he put them on a platter? Arrange them and make them look pretty? He reaches into one of the bags, pulling out a berry danish, visibly startling when Loki speaks.

"Oh!" Was he? Jeff thinks for a moment. "Well-- yeah, I guess I was. Best way to see how spooky this town really is, right?"
