[visual] when you got short money you're stuck on the ground

[The feed flickers on to reveal Loki sitting on a randomly chosen curb, looking a little ratty but relaxed.]

Okay. I need cartoons, chewing gum, and a shower.

[He glances down at a suspiciously zombie-crud-like stain on his tee.]

Maybe not in that order.

You know, for most people knowing they've done a good deed would be enough. [he sounds kind of amused, though.] I could buy you a beer.

[yes, he's found out they're free. it's the thought that counts, okay?]

That doesn't work when the beers are free.

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Busted.

Okay, what will it take, then?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Depends on what I'm lying about.

Okay, so if some guy you've never seen before comes up and asks you which is the better movie, E.T. or Krush Groove, you just tell him you never heard of E.T. but Krush Groove is awesome. And make sure you tell him you're from the future.

I want half of whatever you're getting for this bet.

You can hatch two of those, but I'd recommend looking into the latter first. Maybe some new clothes too, man.

[ voice ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Uh...hatch? Pretty sure I lack the necessary equipment for that.

You want half my pride? Man, that's cold.

[thenormalsquint]

I was hoping there was some money on the line.

Also maybe a good call: clothes not covered in yuck.

[ voice ]

[stacked]

Nah, you missed him by a couple months.

[ no seriously. she's not kidding. ]

[ audio ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Are you offering to buy me some clothes not covered in yuck? 'Cause they didn't exactly give me time to pack before abducting me.

[loki, however, knows there's no santa claus (sorry, kids), so he brushes that off as sarcasm instead.]

Man, and I didn't even get a lump of coal.

I think you enjoy extorting helpless strangers.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Only helpless strangers who want me to lie to other helpless strangers.

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

If you ever meet him, I promise, he totally deserves it.

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

I'm sure he'd say the same about you.

audio;

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he would.

[there's a brief pause while loki thinks about how fucking weird it is not having bartleby around, and how much he does not like it.]

Hey, you never told me your name, and you made me tell you mine.

[thenormalsquint]

Angela. It's Angela.

Use the hatches. [ the 'duh' is implied, here. ] Or if you're more klepto-inclined, just steal new clothes.

[ voice ]

[stacked]

Sucks to be you, the dude brought me a knife.

[ because faith rolls like that. santa brings her implements of stabbing. ]

[ audio ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, people keep saying that, but it doesn't really help when I don't know what a fucking hatch is.

[dear loki: learn to research your surroundings better.]

[ voice ]

[gunsnotvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Wonder if Santa would bring me a sword. I have a gun but it just isn't the same.

[cue nostalgic sigh.]

How new are you? [ ffffffff right, helping not judging. ] They're how we get stuff, other than the shops. They're like... silver, scifi looking things. Every single building has at least one.
