I am so all over this.

Let's face it, folks.

( I make Ravenclaw look good. )


Now was it swish and flick or flick and swish?

So. I was thinking, now that we've been here for a little bit now, and we aren't dealing with any more evil vampires running around, we should do something. Just the two of us. Like a date.

I know it's a bit different from how you probably do things on Asgard, but we could do dinner and a movie or something. It could be fun.

Things I'd never thought I'd have to do as an adult: Fielding a call from the school to let them know why James is going to be out for a while.

Because Nat's sort of still freaking out.
...well freaking out for her

Whoever came up with the name "funny bone" was seriously messed up. Like, in the head. There is nothing funny at all about that bone.

So why is the rum always gone?

'Cause I've got it.

Yo ho!

So, this is... What exactly is this? Because I have had my fill of randomly unexplainable hijinks, and it would be nice if it just stopped for a moment so we can have a second to breathe.

Team, sound off. At least tell me I'm not here by myself. I'm not sure I would be able to handle

Frigga
Pet shaming is my new favorite thing, especially while I sniffle and chug orange juice in an attempt to not be sick (which I'm failing at...epicly).

( Click for adorableness. )

[Thor]
How you doing, big guy?

[Loki]
Soooo....between Frigga being gone and the...other younger you....is the way to put it? How you doing?

Do I need to drag you away for de-stressing or cuddles or something?

You know what? I'm bored. And, the internet is full of so many amusing things.

Now, you don't have to use GIF's of yourself. But, you'll get extra points if you do....but

I DECLARE GIF WAR!!!!

( Go! )

For the record, flying into a very large headstone bloody hurts.

Oh lord, Halloween costume time again whaaat?? Why is it so stressful?! I should just learn to sew and make my own. JANIE!!! TEACH ME TO SEW!!!!

So far my choices consist of:
1) Elizabeth the First (another glorious redhead!)
2) Merida (curl my hair, get one of the spare bows, and halfway there!)
3) A fire fairy in honor of my fabulous new tattoo!
4) And, as always is an option, Regency-era me!

Thoughts? Ideas? ...alternate suggestions for super adorbs redheads??

So, I'm on kidlet duty this weekend while Marian sweeps Scruffy off his feet.

Care to join me?

My room is set up perfectly to my liking and I'm properly moved in with my da Marce my dad now. And bonus is my bestie is a roomie. This couldn't be more perfect.

[Asgardian Family]
Are you guys all doing okay? I was thinking maybe we could do a weekly (bi-weekly? whatever works best) dinner or something, so I can see you guys regularly. It'd be nice, right?

[Friends]
So, Halloween masquerade ball that Marcel is throwing. I have no idea what to dress as. Ideas?!

Caroline and Klaus are in the process of/are moving out of Marcel's place. Since by all accounts, he's my dad and things are probably awkward because of the whole Ward thi I'm going to move in with him this weekend. I will totally see you guys any time, though. I love you guys, you're a second family to me.

[Marcel]
I'll be officially moving in this weekend.

[Grant]
By this weekend, I'll be somewhere that you can actually visit me. You should definitely come by one day with Glen.

Okay, I have a question. And I'm going to try to keep this as neutral as possible. But I really do want to know what makes the difference in the cases of blatantly obvious double standards you see around here. What makes the hatred of one person over another any better or more accepted somehow? Why can people feel justified in hating one specific individual, but if anything is pushed against another, people are jumping at them for it? It doesn't make sense.

I was going to try and keep it generalized, but it's not working out. So I'll be specific. And, again, try to be neutral, here. But look at it with the various little dramas that are happening now. People are all levels of mad at Ward for his actions on Loki, they're hounding him for it, making him out to be the bad guy. Even though he has legitimate reasons to hate Loki, everyone cries that this Loki hasn't done those things yet, so how dare Ward hold it against him? Except those things have happened for Ward, so how is that even a little fair? To be honest, the only people I don't have issue with taking such offense here in this situation is the family. Because reasons don't mean shit when family comes into play and I know that better than anyone. So yeah, family types, don't go jumping down my throat for this one, yeah?

Meanwhile, Davina is completely justified in her vilification of my brothers for future actions they've committed against her and, more especially in Klaus' case, people don't tell her she's wrong for feeling the way she does at all. They don't tell her she should calm down or try to hound her over threats she's made toward him. Admittedly it was when she first showed up and, far as I know, she hasn't made any active threats since then, but I don't doubt the ones she made day 1 still hold true in her heart today.

So can you lot just explain this? Explain to me why there is such a difference. Why are these situations practically reversed images of each others? Ward has his reasons for what he did, but is barked at and vilified for it despite those reasons, while the little witch Davina can sit around hating on Nik and not be chastised for it. Is it that Loki's been here longer, done more good overall that makes the difference? Is it just that Davina is the sweet, innocent victim? I just really don't get it.

I would prefer not to be in Lawrence this evening.

Would you care to accompany me?

I am sorry I did not return immediately. I know you would have preferred that I had, but it would not have been wise. Upon my return, I seem to have broken barriers in my mind that are ordinarily in place to keep order, and the overflow is painf upsetting for anyone able to sense it. I suspect that the desperation pani heightened stress I was under combined with my lack of magic was to blame. My attempts to access it in the other reality were more zealous than they needed to be, and that carried over into this world upon my resurrection.

I have managed to contain the worst of the damage, and should be able to place containment spells around myself at night to keep the rest from having a negative effect. I will be rebuilding everything as quickly as possible.

Mother, Davina - if either of you continue to be bothered by the remnants, do not hesitate to tell me. Please.

I will also be adding further wards to the house as soon as I have rested. If you wish to bring guests inside the grounds, I - or Mother - will have to remove a specific layer or add them into it. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I will not hav but it is not safe to but it is for the best, at the moment.

On another subject entirely, if anyone has suggestions for dinner, I will acquire food before I arrive.

I did nothing. Those people, the people you claimed you were serving justice for - I never killed them. I never even intended to kill them. I have done nothing but help, and

[ooc: Striketexted filters = no posts sent! Sorryz, no blankposts for youuuu <3]

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaack! No more ass pinching, boob grabbing, ale, rum, or pirates!

Lets everyone sigh in happiness together! Riiight now!

Now that that's done, a couple of questions:

Where's Loki? He didn't freak out because I was gone, did he? You around and paying attention, Dorbs?

ANNNND

How did everyone else fair? Everyone okay?

So, apparently I'm a tavern owner now? You guys should come to [tavern name] and keep me company.

Is it meant to be this hot here? I've never felt heat before

Something about being here has changed us. Well. Me, at least.
