OPEN-ISH.

WHO: Loki, Thor & Jason + anyone/everyone else!
WHERE: Neo Casa Asgard
WHEN: From Oct. 23rd onward
WHAT: The Casa Asgard crew move to a newer, better place now that Loki has a better paying job. This one has rooms! Thor feeds the crew, Jason gets stabbed, and Loki tries to avoid telling anyone that they upped and moved. A day in the life. Word's out Loki, you can't avoid everything forever. General catch-all for all things going down at the new and improved Casa Asgard.
NOTES OR WARNINGS: Jason's gore, but probably other stuff expected from two feisty vikings + Jason Todd. Keep an eye here for updates.


"Well, I may—may!—have had to magically shift the apartment to another building because everyone thought I was Harry Styles."

[ when it came to staying in one place, Loki gets antsy. with lack of resources (see: his sorcery), it's difficult to move from place to place with the same ease as he did when he was in his own world. he has to build, has to wait, and then gets the opportunity to execute. he does most of the legwork himself: moving their few belongings, finding a new place in an appropriate part of the city, and taking care of the paperwork. the whole process is annoying, but he does it quickly and keeps it under the radar. when he tells both Thor and Jason, it's only days before the move, and everything else is already in order to keep from any arguments.

the new apartment is more spacious, with two rooms and a kitchenette. the bathroom is still small, but the shower a little bit bigger. it feels like a lot of space to stretch out, even if it may not be that much more space. Loki had tried for the highest floor available, as he's akin to being a cat on top of the refrigerator. the move is quiet and refreshing, though it probably won't be long before it's announced in some way or another.

it's fine. they can always move again.

still, it's not long before Jason comes home with a knife to the gut. well, it wouldn't be a proper housewarming without it.

( look in his defense: being stabbed is pretty much just a natural state of being. loki dresses the couch for him, and jason spends a good portion of his time dozing off on top of it. or at least, appearing like that's what he's doing. his chest is bandaged all the way around, gauze thickest just over the right side of the lower half of his ribcage. bandages wrap around his right hand, too. but he's quiet, for the most part. to an abnormal level.

he's plotting. using his downtime to think through what the next step will be, how he's going to get from point a to b when stuck like this. )



( when they've got guests over, he lugs himself up to his feet and over towards loki's bedroom. closes the door behind himself but doesn't lock it. lays down a nice, thick towel on top of the blankets and lounges with his head back against the pillows.

there's no real reason to stay out in the open areas, and he definitely doesn't want anyone waltzing in through the front door to see how fucked up he got himself. )
reneger: (this scent was mine alone.)

[personal profile] reneger 2019-05-30 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
( eyes open the moment loki's weight settles onto the couch, dull blue shifting to focus onto him under heavy eyelids. the beer gets a glance, but jason doesn't--reach for it. leaves it be, lets his hands stay settled on top of his midsection. )

So.

( so, what. does loki want to talk about this, because jason definitely doesn't. not after dick already came at him about the whole thing. understandably. he'd do the same, if one of his brothers called him to some shady underground fight ring saying they'd been stabbed. )
reneger: (don't put me on the backburner.)

[personal profile] reneger 2019-05-31 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
( luckily for loki, he's himself. if anyone else had reached to touch him right now, jason--would have gotten pissed. but it's not. so he just furrows his brow when the anger bleeds through, only heightening his own that burns bright beneath the surface. anger he tries to keep off of his face, but there's nothing he can do to stop loki from feeling it, too. )

Absolutely nothing. ( gruff, and he's reaching up his left hand (the unbandaged one) to wrap fingers around loki's wrist. ) Not yet. We've--got a new deal. Dick, Damian and I.

( communication and all that fluffy bullshit. he understands why. understands that them knowing what they're pulling, talking it over first, discussing plans will only benefit all three of them. but it feels like a leash, and he doesn't like leashes. )

It's complicated. ( everything is complicated and he hates it and this is the worst, loki. the grip doesn't lessen, but he does lower loki's hand. drops his own down onto his chest and takes loki's along with it. )

He ( dick, always dick. ) doesn't trust me, he's expecting me to lose my shit at any moment and go batshit over everything again.

( haha get it, batshit. it's a pun. )

I got used to being trusted, back home. To an extent. But he's fucking leagues behind me in the timeline. And I've already made several shitty moves--one real bad one's gonna set him off again, and that's the last thing I wanna do. ( it'd be fair. dick wouldn't be wrong. jason has proven himself numerous times to be the angry, revenge-fueled asshole dick remembers him as. hell, just before getting here he lost his shit again. ) Either I watch myself or he's gonna be riding my ass every moment of every day 'til he finds something else he can do with me.
reneger: (couldn't stand the person inside me.)

[personal profile] reneger 2019-06-02 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
( loki's hand settles and jason releases the captured wrist. there's no need to hold onto him, not any longer. it's away from his face, releasing the wrist breaks the empathy bond which jason--really doesn't want to deal with right now. he huffs out a breath, moves eyes down to focus onto loki's fingers instead of his face. )

He's never liked me much anyway. ( didn't when he was a child, the new robin, and then jason came back fucked up and angry. this dick--still remembers him like that. they haven't had the chance to bond over stupid shit. to talk about dick's girl problems, or start stupid fights over sunday brunches. it's--a lot of growth jason worked hard for, and doesn't know how to repeat here. ) But it's all justified. I've hurt our family before. His. He knows damn well what damage I'm capable of causing.

( and how easily jason tends to lose his temper over everything. that's the concerning bit. )

I'll work with him for now, at least.
reneger: (goddamn right!)

[personal profile] reneger 2019-06-02 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't. Changed, not in the way he's wanting. ( he's not like the rest of them. well--like damian, maybe. this one. but not like bruce, or tim, or dick. there's a fire burning deep in his gut that he'll never put out--never want to. because sometimes, monsters need to die. and jason has never once regretted putting them down. that's what bruce wants, what dick wants: killing is bad, and they don't want to encourage it. ) But 's fine. I don't want to.

( jason isn't happy with himself, per se. but he doesn't want to be different either. not--not in that way. he can do things that none of them can, knows it's what their home needs even if it's not what dick wants. whatever.

there's a smile on loki's lips, and jason returns it with a smarmy smirk. )


He doesn't need to know that though.
reneger: (uh excuse you.)

[personal profile] reneger 2019-06-03 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. ( that loki won't tell. that jason can share his secrets with him and it's--fine, they won't go anywhere. he trusts loki, despite the whole god of mischief and lies thing. they're both problem causers. together, they just--cause even more. but never deliberately for the other.

jason raises his good hand, moves to thread fingers through loki's hair. hopefully, the--the affection will be strong enough to help bleed down the level of pain he's in, because that's definitely not what he's trying to pass on right now. )


Hey, c'mere. ( he wants a kiss. )
reneger: (pic#11802618)

[personal profile] reneger 2019-06-04 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
( loki definitely knows what. it's obvious from his face, from the way he's leaning over. and jason. just grins. shifts his weight a bit to lean up into loki as best as he can given how immobile he is. tilts his head up just enough to press a soft, gentle kiss against his lips. doesn't push it further, because he doesn't have much room to move with. it's fine.

the kiss was all he wanted for now, anyway. and it feels nice, just to--get to touch loki. feel him close. brush through strands of black hair with his fingers, have loki's hands on him. jason likes the weight of it. loki's weight.

when he pulls back, he murmurs soft. lips twisting back up into a stupid grin. )
You're beautiful.
reneger: (you know i wanna keep you around.)

[personal profile] reneger 2019-06-05 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Not this time.

( no, his feelings are all genuine. it's not the blood loss talking, or the several days old concussion. it's jason, being stupidly gross and soft. it's fine, no one else is around, right? he can be soft once in a while.

jason tilts his head up a bit, presses his nose to loki's own. )


Why? You wanna take my temperature, play doctor? Make sure I'm all better?

( definitely gross. definitely 100% jason. )
reneger: (pic#11802607)

[personal profile] reneger 2019-06-05 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
( muscles tense when loki's fingers slide over them, but it's not painful. he hasn't gotten close to stitches yet. they're--much higher, and jason definitely doesn't mind the physical contact. jason threads fingers through loki's hair, brushes back strands from his face and tucks them behind an ear. )

Pretty? Aren't you the pretty one? But if I'm gonna be a couch ornament. . ( but he pauses, raises the bandage hand to drape it dramatically across the arm of the couch. hitches a hip against the cushion under him. ) I want you to draw me like one if your French girls.
reneger: (who's in control?)

[personal profile] reneger 2019-06-05 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
( cute. there's a snort, but jason only moves his other hand up above his head, too. arches his back just enough to get a nice, dramatic pose. gives loki the best bedroom eyes and stupid smirk he can while he still feels like absolute shit.

he can be nice and pose for loki, why not. they've got nothing better to do. )


Wasn't aware you had a collection. ( but it's soft. teasing. he's not taking it any more seriously than loki is. ) But if it gets me couch ornament treatment? I wouldn't mind.

( he's comfortable. the new apartment is nice and roomy. jason has new complaints. )

[ Since hearing about Thomas and William's money problems, Thor's taken it on himself to invite them over for meals more often than not. Given their circle of friends, if anyone else is around at meal times he'll invite them as well. Thor's mercurial nature has swung away from solitary gloom towards a sociable cheer and he's keen to see and be with all his friends here.

Since having the boys (and others) over isn't the same as having Jason here (he thinks of Jason and his brothers as part of the family now, close enough that there's no disrespect shown if they don't lay out a feast for them) he cooks. To his surprise he's found he enjoys it. There's never before been the chance to cook so regularly but there's something quietly fulfilling in preparing a meal and seeing it enjoyed.

He'll accept help from whoever is around-- and whoever helps cook gets to help drink, of course.

And during and after the meal he's around, ready to drink and talk well into the night. ]

( billy's. not going for the drinks but he does make his way inside the kitchen to offer a hand, even if he's definitely not any good at cooking. doesn't mean he can't at least try to assist; and he can follow directives (sometimes) so maybe billy won't. mess up too bad. )

Hey, need a hand?
ofmyth: (There's no one to save me)

[personal profile] ofmyth 2019-06-08 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
Aye. [ Thor's smile is inviting, pleased to have someone to help along in the kitchen while the others talk. He offers over the knife, handle first. ]

Are you thirsty at all?

[ Get that sorted before he gives Billy anything to do ]
wiccant: (just thinking out loud.)

[personal profile] wiccant 2019-06-09 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe for some water. ( knife in hand and his eyes move to the array of food thor's working on. tries to. discern what the heck he's going to be using this knife on exactly. )

What's on the menu?
