Morning; Various Pups; OTA (MW)
It was September 11th. Which meant that the only thing on the tv was various shows in remembrance of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Most of the people in the Mocha were either watching the tv mounted in the corner or doing their best to ignore it completely.
Demitri was doing a bit of both - watching as much as he could but his major hangover wasn't letting him focus for long. So instead he huddled over his coffee with his sunglasses firmly in place. Last night a couple of the boys from Siciliano's had convinced him to go out with them. It had been a mixture of fun and guilt and he'd drank more than he'd planned because of it.
Hangovers sucked.

Eris might not be considered the most patriotic of people but even she couldn't not feel for what had happened. To be honest, it made her want to go take care of things herself. Just how big an explosion could she make anyway? She didn't know, had never let it go that much. But she really wanted to find out.
Especially since lately that itch had begun to really get strong again. It happened on occassion - the fire built up and up until she felt like it was rolling just beneath the surface of her skin and that destructive urge, that need to see the world on fire, prevailed in her thoughts. Maybe it wasn't like this for others like her but Eris had the blood of the Destroyer of Worlds in her veins. And today it was really close.
Close enough that she was sitting in a corner of the Mocha and slowly burning a piece of paper in an ashtray.

When Loki walked into the Mocha a few regulars did double takes. He was dressed for work at the gallery - black slacks, black button up, black tie, hair pulled back neatly. He got a cup of coffee and a bagel and sat down, looking just as much of the businessman as the rest in the room.
It was highly amusing.
