Pictures of last night ended up online, I'm screwed

WHERE: Safehouse 2.0
WHEN: Late afternoon, evening, night on the 28th.
WHAT: Some people took down the monster, some people kept the group safe, some people snuck off to steal booze. They can all celebrate together.
NOTES OR WARNINGS: This is a post-event mingle! Loki stole a bunch of alcohol and Thor is going to make sure everyone gets some. Debrief, have fun, get wreckt, prepare for tfln the next morning.

[When Loki hears the news of the Godzilla's demise, it takes a moment to sink in. There were doubts when a handful of the refugees wanted to run out and play hero, especially with their lack of abilities (for those who had them). He expected Thor to come back content on his involvement at best, broken and nursing his own failure, at worst. This? This is better than the best, and it's worthy of celebration. I's hard not to be pleased, hard not to congratulate; it's Thor's victory post the fall of Asgard, and Loki's sure that he's reveling in it.

Then, comes the booze: all different bottle shapes and sizes, some dark with lighter liquid, others opaque filled with something that has a more amber tint. It's unloaded carefully by all of them, messily lined up on the frames of one of the cots..

Thor looks to be almost a different creature than the moping, sullen thing he'd been since they arrived in the safehouse. Getting to his feet he stands taller, shoulders held back, a bright look in his eyes. Loki backs him up, tinking a metal spoon against one of the bottles to get everyone's attention. As Thor speaks he looks around the room, seeking out the eyes of everyone present.]


Seven days ago we were strangers. We were brought into an underground bunker, unsure of who we were and how we had come here. Some were angry, some afraid, others unsure. It's thanks to the aid and kindness of Gaby and El that we survived at all, here in this foreign city. Today, we have proven we will not merely surivive here.

[Thor hasn't met everyone here, but that's ultimately not the point. In his mind they are in this together, for better or worse. There is a 'we' who celebrate together now just as much as there is a 'they' who are responsible for their being here.]

Today we have repaid Gaby her kindness. Today we have protected not only her people here in the safehouse, but the people of the city. Today we have proved our strength to ourselves, to the city, to any who are watching us. Today, we set fear in the heart of our captor. [He seems to relish that last one most of all.]

Seven days ago we had little to celebrate. Today we raise a toast—[Up goes his bottle, held high and triumphant.] To us! To what we have done today! To victory!

[Loki chimes in, shaking the little bottle in his hand.] To New Amsterdam!

[Thor's arm is held high while others raise their drinks, then Thor upends his to drain it in a long pull.]

step 3: "friends"

[ they already know each other, beyond bobbi knowing of him long before she ever woke up in new amsterdam. they know each other, but he talks of fighting monsters and gestures in a way that showcases his muscles, whether on purpose or not, and bobbi thinks oh, why the hell not?.

part of it is calculation. part of it is simple genuine (carnal) interest. so she grins at him. ]
Tell me about the biggest monster you've ever fought.

How do you fight a planet?

[ things to file away for future use? maybe. probably not the kind of thing she can manage, but it might still come in handy at some point. ]
covertness: (⟫ smile)

[ bobbi can't help but laugh a little at that. ]

Fair point, I guess. [ hard to miss a planet.

she sobers up a little bit a moment later, but the laughter lingers at the corners of her mouth, of her eyes. ]
Mad masterminds are probably a lot more dangerous.

[ well, now she's interested and it shows in how she tips her head to look at him, leaning just a little closer. could she play it cool? yes. is she playing it cool? absolutely not. ]

Yeah.

[ don't keep her in suspense now. ]

[ well.

well.

at any given time, bobbi is calculating odds, analysing people and likely consequences of actions. the same is true now. she thinks back to kissing hunter on the streets of san juan. she thinks back to screaming matches and fights. she thinks about seduction and about how powerful a tool desire can be, about forging bonds, about allies.

there's all of that.

and then there's the alcohol making her pleasantly mellow, there's the fact that thor is really hot and probably great in bed. there's the fact that it's a cheesy pick-up line but he looks entirely sincere.

when she grins, it's (mostly) not calculation. ]


Yeah? [ a beat. her grin widens a little. ] So, are you scared?
