CONTINUED FROM TFLN MEMEBELLS ⇒ T.G.I.F.

[formidable]

[Amelia should have learned how to use her cell phone properly at some point. She meant to send her message inviting people for a drink to a few select people in town-- Libby her bartender, Emily Maxwell, a previous student of hers, hell maybe even Micheal and Adam.

Somehow this hasn't happened.]



[Amelia had to shoo away the talking cats, clear the living room of the books and practically redecorate the interior of the house-- it was no longer the cozy vintage home she had been living in for decades, but rather a fancy contemporary and industrial looking household.

A household now filled with various party goers called up by a certain billionaire playboy who is a terrible person. The nice thing about being in a witch's house is that the food and drink are plentiful and that the magic that's literally around in the house seems to keep people in high spirits. Some people are also complimenting the now well-dressed Amelia how charming and post-modern the wind chimes decorating her ceiling were. Funny how they aren't making any sounds despite the crowd.

As for the witch, she's walking around and doing her best to be pleasant despite her dislike of huge crowds and keeping an eye on the hallway. People could get lost in there unfortunately.

This is going to be a long Friday.]

Comments

[mjolnir_time]

... Perhaps I am overreacting. What does Amelia think of your jest? Does she find it to be harmless fun?

[allfatherissues]

[Just this look in response to that silly question. That's all you get.]

[mjolnir_time]

[It wasn't a silly question, he was attempting to make a point.]

Perhaps her opinion will have more weight than mine.

[allfatherissues]

[Everything you say is either silly or just blah blah blah to Loki most of the time, Thor.]

[He scoffs a little and looks at him questioningly.] And what makes you so certain that the opinion of a mortal might sway me?

[mjolnir_time]

[Not surprising.]

Because for whatever reason, you seem to have befriended her.

I hope you would not throw that friendship away so easily, brother.

[allfatherissues]

[The air of amusement surrounding Loki is swept away with those words, and he considers Thor with something of a distant tone.]

Have I not already thrown everything else away? Should she be so easily offended by my actions, by the very fabric of who I am, then I will allow her to shun me if that is her decision.

[mjolnir_time]

Yes, you have indeed thrown everything else away.

[It's probably somewhat obvious that Thor is feeling sorry for his little brother and his willingness to throw away friends and be alone.]

[allfatherissues]

[No, Thor. He does not want you feeling sorry for him. He does not need your pity, and he does not desire it.

How can you feel sorry for him when you do not understand him at all?]

I am ever so glad to hear confirmation of it. Take your concerns elsewhere, Thor. I have no need for them.

[mjolnir_time]

[He just wants his brother to be happy. There's nothing wrong with that, right?

At the moment he just crosses his arms and watches Loki.]

I think it would be best if I kept an eye on you for however long you decide to remain here.

[allfatherissues]

[The look Loki gives Thor heavily implies that he would like to see him try.]

I do not need for you to be my keeper. I never did.

[mjolnir_time]

I have no intention of being your keeper, but I cannot allow you to do as you will with no consequences. I would not be doing this for you, but for the mortals you would harm with your tricks.

[allfatherissues]

Of course you wouldn't. [Be doing this for me, is what he means, but that hangs in the air like something stagnant above them.]

Continue to hound me in such a way, Thor, and I will give you true reason to worry. I am not beyond using the full extent of my abilities here, in front of these gawking mortals, if it meant keeping you in your place.

[mjolnir_time]

[No win situation. If he was doing it for Loki, his brother would complain about that too.]

If you wish to fight me, we will take our quarrel elsewhere. You will not destroy this house.

[allfatherissues]

[It's nice to know your brother and his issues quite well at this point, brother. Or at least part of them.]

Then leave me for the evening, and we will not quarrel at all. It all rests upon your shoulders.

[mjolnir_time]

[He thinks that over for a minute or two then nods.]

Very well. I will not stand guard over you. But I will not leave this place either. Know that if you try any more tricks against these people, you will answer to me.

[allfatherissues]

[A mirthless chuckle escapes him.] How terrifying.

[mjolnir_time]

[Thor just stares him down.]

Don't test me, brother.

[And then he walks away.]
