Enter Loki.

Actually, please don't. Especially if it involves a chainsaw. Just...stare at him, since he's pretty. Or, you know, talk to him. That would work too. Because he just came into the bar and he's sitting just at the end of it nursing a cup of tea.

David walks downstairs sheepishly, and sees Loki sitting at the bar.

He joins him.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

A sly smile and swirling blue-green eyes peer at David sideways through half-closed lids.

"Have a good time with the, ahem, 'god'?"

He doesn't sound upset, merely amused.

[notsoyoung.livejournal.com]

"Not bad," he says, and leans against Loki. "It's... it's not him. I... Charlie."

It's said quietly.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He peers at David carefully.

"Do you expect me to be upset or do you merely require comfort, my darling?"

And rather suddenly, they're at the couches, Loki a foot away from David that seems awfully empty.

[notsoyoung.livejournal.com]

The foot is the emptiest space David's ever felt.

He's in Loki's arms a moment later.

"He needed me. And... Loki, my love, my God, I can't help but feel guilty because I'm yours. I shouldn't..."

He sniffles, once, and looks up at Loki. "I'm sorry. I know... you told me I'm free, in essence, but..."

A sigh, and he's shaking his head.

"I want so badly to be monogamous."

Asar-Suti comes out of the staff quarters for another cup of coffee, and a moment without the noise of power tools.

He's paint-splotched, and there is wallpaper paste in his hair.

"Hello, Loki," he says. "I haven't seen you for quite a while."

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He shrugs easily.

"I've been around. Just a matter of seeing me, really."

A grin.

"You look as if Martha Stewart and Bob Villa made explosive love on top of you. Any particular reason?"

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"I have no idea who these people are, but making explosive love is always good. And yes, the reason is staff quarter expansion; I happened to get between the lines of a wallpaper paste fight. People were having fun," he grins.

Asar-Suti enjoys that building stuff; it's not exactly god-like, let alone dignified, but it's fun to make something that solid.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

"Sounds interesting enough. Not exactly my sort of thing," far too solid for him, "but it could be entertaining, I suppose. If things get too boring, you might just see me over there."

A smile.

"And how are you lately?"

[go-between.livejournal.com]

Richard wanders over to Loki with an enormous syringe in his hand, He flops down next to him.

"Got a minute?"

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He nods and smiles.

"For you, surely."

[go-between.livejournal.com]

"So, you know I'm a werewolf, right?"

He holds up the syringe.

"I'm supposed to take this stuff sometime before the stroke of midnight on my first full moon. But I don't know when other than that, or if it has any side-effects."

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He peers at it, and then seems to be looking at something not exactly there. There's something of a guilty look on his face as he does it, but he's done much worse and the vampire will forgive him should he ever find out once he knows the reason for such an invasion. Finally, he looks to Richard.

"Take it in wolf form, and there isn't much more to it than sticking you and pushing the plunger. As for side effects, it seems to make you weak for a few days, but...my information says nothing about anything more."

Gil comes out of the kitchen, grinning, and stops and stares at Loki - let's say it's because he's so incredibly pretty.

He hitches his tray a little higher and places the bowls of nuts on the bar, getting closer with each one, then nods at him.

"Good afternoon," he says politely as he passes, because the Trickster God is a customer after all.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

Loki doesn't reach out to grab him or any such nonsense, but he does turn to him.

"Gil? A moment. I might speak with you."

[gil-whimple.livejournal.com]

Pausing, Gil looks around then smiles. "Of course, sir," he says. "What can I do for you?"

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He actually looks vaguely uncomfortable.

"Sit? Please?"

Liam is sitting probably not far down the bar from Loki, a potted shamrock on the bartop in front of him.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

Loki peers at him.

"The lady Bar has decided to start a shrubbery business, then?"

[youalleverybody.livejournal.com]

Liam chuckles.

"Looks like it. But this is for St. Patrick's Day."

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He grins.

"I do know other holidays. I just thought I was being amusing. I suppose not."

[street-sparrow.livejournal.com]

Gavroche spots Loki and makes a beeline for him. It's been quite a while.

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

He smiles.

"I haven't seen you for a while."

[street-sparrow.livejournal.com]

Gavroche grins at him.

"I've been in the House of Arch. And in Paris."

[mini-matantei.livejournal.com]

"I've been in New Orleans and Tokyo."
