This is M. I'm most likely out punching someone. Don't worry, they deserve it.

Probably.

I'll call you back later.

[mischiefsmith]

Now why would anyone want to curtail my mischief? Do they not understand that this world would be a better place if I'm not inhibited? What is this world hunger? We have perfectly good cars just waiting to be turned into ice cream. So many problems could be easily solved by turning fools into frogs.

Perhaps they do understand these things and they have no wish to have their problems solved, I would be such a benevolent overlord. [You've quite possibly hit the nail on the head though, Loki.] Well, alright, I suppose I can see the point.

[heliophilic]

That's the pity about some people.

[M leans back.]

They have no imagination.

[mischiefsmith]

[It's Loki's turn to lean forward.]

Oh? What scenarios are playing out in your imagination? Not frogs and ice cream cars I suspect.

[heliophilic]

Oh no, nothing fun like that.

[...WEll, okay, it's kind of fun for him. But "millions of ways to kill you and anyone else I make eye contact with" doesn't seem to be appropriate dinner conversation.]

I'm afraid I'm not one for imagination either.

[hellrisen02]

Nice answering machine message.

You want info, right? I need an extra set of hands to beat up mobsters.

[heliophilic]

You'd be surprised how touchy some people are about me punching other people.

Mobsters. How old school. Tring to inch in on their racket?

[hellrisen02]

Moral high-ground's a bitch.

Trying to get their racket out of my turf, more like. I'm but a pious priest trying to protect my flock, you see.

[heliophilic]

Good thing I don't care about such things then.

Mmhmm, sure you are padre. God's perfect angel.

[hellrisen02]

I'm hurt that you would insinuate I'm anything but.

[COORDINATES EMBEDDED HERE some shady-ass alley in Maurtia Falls]

Meet me there, 2:00 AM sharp Monday morning. I'll have all the information in-person.

You Registered?

[heliophilic]

Wouldn't want to hurt your feelings.

I'll be there.

And you're funny. 😂

[hellrisen02]

You wouldn't! Pretty sure that's a sin. Love thy neighbor, etc.

Hope you're good at 'run and hide', then.

[ooc; log for you!]

[burlyboy]

So, uh... it may have occurred to me that I haven't talked to you since things went sideways a few months ago.

[ Which sucks. Is he a bad friend? He's kind of a bad friend. ]

Which is kiiiinda shitty of me. So consider this an olive branch? I'd tell you to let me buy you a drink but, uh, all things considered, that might not be the way to go. Aaaaanyhoo - lemme know if you wanna, like, talk or whatever.

[ Cool message, Magnus. You tried. ]

voice;

[heliophilic]

[M calls him back as soon as he can a few hours later.]

You're lucky I don't hold a grudge.

How are you holding up?

voice;

[burlyboy]

I'm not going around beating the shit out of randoms at bars anymore, if that's what you're asking. [ It's a dryer sort of humour than Magnus usually reveals, but he says it all the same. ]

I'm fine. Really. How have you been?

[heliophilic]

Glad to hear it.

[Even if he doesn't completely believe it.]

I'm not going around beating the shit out of randoms at bars, so by your standards I'm great.

[burlyboy]

Hey! That's not my only standard! I got lots of other stuff going for me too.

[ Like participating in illegal fighting rings!!! God!!! ]

F'real, I wanna know what you've been up to. Let me take you out for lunch or something. My treat.

[heliophilic]

Careful Magnus, I'm not a cheap date.

[burlyboy]

Are you accusing me of not bein' able to treat you right? Because I'll have you know, I'm gentlemanly as fuck.

[heliophilic]

I am indeed accusing you.

So you better prove me wrong.

[burlyboy]

I will, just you wait!

But you can pick the place. I'm gracious like that.

[heliophilic]

And here I thought the gentleman picked the date.

[There's a pause as he considers it. For a moment he almost picks the most exclusive, expensive restaurant he can think of (and would personally never be caught in) as a joke, but then remembers Magnus would probably take him seriously and decides to go with something a bit more sincere.]

How about Nonah Diner?

voice; after he talks to archie

[itssacrifice]

[The one downside to having a boyfriend who lives in a inter-dimensional apartment is the inability to show up unannounced. After talking to Archie and hearing some of the terrible stuff this clone of his has been spewing, he can't even imagine the amount of damage control he's going to have to do if M had been targeted as well. But there's only one way to find out.]

Hey M. I need to see you. Can you send a door?

[That's...casual enough. Just in case everything is fine.]

[burlyboy]

In case you've forgotten, you're also a gentleman, fella. But sure, I can do a diner.

My schedule's, uh... not super full? So let me know when you're free and let's do this thing.

[heliophilic]

I'm a man all right, but no one's ever called me "gentle."

And luckily for you, my schedule's also open.

I better get swept off my feet, Magnus.

[heliophilic]

[M sends a Door to Andrew's location.]

See you soon.
