[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.]

"I meant the rest," Loki rolls his dark nailed finger in a circle to compliment his words. "But we don't have to talk about it."

There was a lot of opportunity out there in the multiverse, brimming up along the edges. Perhaps it's easier for him because he doesn't miss home, and he's certain of his (eventual) return, so he can milk this for as long as he feels fit.

"Though I would like to hear about that. The shooting between the eyes thing, that is."

It wasn't that Sniper felt the need for secrecy on their immediate goals. They didn't think a god of chaos was going to have much issue with prostitution and they didn't have any reason to drop off the map as far as the other kidnapees were concerned—Quite the opposite. They just had an intuition it'd be more fun to keep Loki guessing, for Loki in particular.

Their smile is guileless, like they didn't just deliberately misinterpret Loki's previous question. Another couple sips of alcohol, and Sniper re-adjusting to tuck their ankles under their calves. A more comfortable position that puts their knee against Loki's arm.

"Do you know what the pentathlon is? The Olympics?"

Loki would, essentially, find out if it turned into something useful. It was the push and pull, the game itself, that he always found fun. Loki is less deliberate when he wants to be, dancing somewhere between circumstance and calculation.

"Unfortunate that I'm aware of both the Olympics and the Olympians." Shut up, Pluto, where ever you were. "Please, continue."

While he takes another drink to wash away that association that he just mentioned.

"How I'm supposed to continue my boring story after a statement like that?" But they do continue, since it was a short point they were making. "Shooting is one of the categories for pentathlon. Since I'm not a very strong swimmer, I need it to make up my point differential."

And to do murders. Those who could knew marksmanship like that didn't come from sport could draw their own conclusions; Sniper wasn't going to be dropping the word assassin in a room full of people. Reveals like that went poorly, in their experience.

With a tip of his head, Loki offers a charming (and skeevy) smile that says you'll manage. Once upon a time he might not even cared, concerned far more with winding himself up in grand schemes to thwart the afterlife and his own damned self-imposed divine role, but it's nice to hear a story from a mortal.

"It certainly beats swimming." He wasn't one with guns, none of the Asgardians were, but the Norse gods had an appreciation of weapons. "Did you win?"
