Pictures of last night ended up online, I'm screwed
WHO: Thor (ofmyth), Loki (selfimage), a bunch of booze, and everyone!
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.
Tag your own/check individual threads for specific warnings.
[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.]

Fine... I'm fine. Just — ghk... overdid it.
no subject
[ no judgement!! though bobbi does follow up that statement with a question. ] Not used to it, or just enjoying it too much?
no subject
[ Everyone else was, to her knowledge. ]
It's not every day a victory like this happens — or the need to forget that a giant monster was a small concern in the grand scheme of things.
no subject
You're right. [ she offers a grin. although it's tinged with grimness (at the latter part of ciri's statement, at that grand scheme of things), it's softened by alcohol and victory. there's a drink in her hand still and she lifts it in a silent toast. ] Gotta take the wins.
no subject
They're a bit rare here, aren't they?
[ Even the wins of being rescued were muddled with confusion and a bittersweetness Ciri isn't quite use to. ]
no subject
[ bobbi doesn't want to ruin the mood. precisely because ciri's right, because the wins seem to be rare. ]
no subject
[ It's hard to get encouraged when times are so grim... when you're so far from home. Just have to keep going, hoping to make another few steps. ]
no subject
I'd say I'll drink to that, but you don't have anything to toast with. [ still, she lifts her glass in a silent and one-sided toast. ]
no subject
Sentiment is still there. Once this whole monster-mess clears up, I plan to see how quickly normalcy returns. Care you join me later?
[ She needs pals? And Bobbi sure looks like one. ]
no subject
I'd love to.
no subject
Did you stick with the crowd when we moved safehavens or did you have a chance to explore?
no subject
[ it's a fine line to walk between giving too much away of her fighting abilities, her strengths and her training, and seeming too helpless, of not appearing an important ally. ]
no subject
[ She laughs at her own bad choices, unable to do much of anything besides. ]
no subject
[ it sounds like there's a story there and bobbi's curious even without counting her desire to gather intel both on the city and her fellow kidnappees. ]
no subject
[ A shitty story, one that humbled the hell out of her. ]
no subject
How far did you get?
no subject
[ She sighs. ]
...We found vehicles, hacked into them yet... We didn't bring them back to the safehouse. Too many risks.
[ And a smaller pout: ]
...I also believe I owe Gaby and her people now. A debt I intend to finish before searching for answers.
no subject
[ bobbi wants more information on the vehicles, on the nature of the debt if it goes beyond the debt they may all owe morningstar for taking them in.
but she doesn't want to push too hard, too fast. ]
no subject
[ She isn't from this world — no amount of worldhopping she's done in her life can prepare her for that. ]
no subject
[ bobbi's been thinking on how to best gather information, how to best distribute it, share it, how to best use everyone's expertise. how not to give away too much of her own skillset at the same time.
katelin doesn't need to scheme in that way; she can just offer ciri a light shrug. ] The sooner we can get answers and figure out how to get back home, the better.
