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.

[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.]

No—but they did save people. They do deserve that much credit.
[ he reaches for the bottle. ]
But they could do with a little discretion.
no subject
[ There's an offer there, because honestly look how much they've all carried themselves in the past few weeks. ]
In a city with so many shadows, they chose front and center.
[ Sigh. ]
I'd say as long as it's behind us... but, I doubt that to be true.
no subject
[ there's a ghost of a smile on his lips, like he knows a secret that he's keeping to himself. ]
But that's the fun of it.
no subject
[ OF COURSE IT WILL BE. ]

[ he sounds wistfully pleased, but he likes these kinds of things: the chaos, the possibility and the opportunity. someone didn't go up in the world by sitting around.
they did it by moving already moving pieces. ]

[ To keep on her toes, she means. ]
no subject
[ he leans his cheek against a palm. ]
Otherwise you get rusty.
no subject
[ She does note how Gaby seemed to be confused by the giant one inside of the city, so she does sincerely hope monster-hunting wasn't on the menu. ]
no subject
[ and he drinks to that. ]
no subject
[ g r o a n s ]
no subject
[ there's a curious look that passes his face, and he tilts his head at her as if something in his own is clicking. ]
Do you feel a very pressing responsibility for—hm—whatever is happening here?
no subject
[ don't read her... ]
no subject
Ah? A balance? Tell me, what do you mean?
no subject

[ he says cooly, though he sounds more curious than challenging. ]
We're abnormalities, and that's exactly why we can go around and do as we please. There are certain aspects of this world that are unbalanced, but leave it to the mortals to find the extremes.
We're wildcards, Ciri—like hope, like chaos.
