[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.

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

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

I was hoping there was some money on the line.

I think you enjoy extorting helpless strangers.

[thenormalsquint]

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

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

[thenormalsquint]

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

[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.

Angela. It's Angela.

Nice to meet you, Angela.

You're not going to lie to my friend if he shows up here, are you?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

No.

My feelings are devastated, I'll have you know.

So if you're not going to help me out with my bet, how about pointing me in the direction of someplace I can get a shower? Is there a Y or something around here?

[thenormalsquint]

I know. You'll make it through to the other side after some time.

There's a gym in Taxon Mall. Play nice and you can sneak into their showers.

Okay, but in the meantime any depressive episodes are entirely on your shoulders.

Thank you, Angela. As soon as I shoplift some new clothes and maybe a Playstation, you're invited to come play Tomb Raider with me.

I'll make sure to send you some Prozac for your birthday.

You do know we're on the Playstation 3 now, right?

Do I get to make up a birthday just so I can get cool presents like that?

No way, seriously?

audio;

[thenormalsquint]

Everybody has a birthday. No need to make one up.

Would I lie to a complete stranger?
