driftfleet | Mistletoe Mingle!

[ hm? loki looks up before frowning. ]

Well, that's annoying. Mistletoe is supposed to like me best.

Teeechnically, it does, since it found you out all the other people here.

[Even if it apparently hates Taako since it's sucked him into the radius of whatever spell has cursed these things.]

Maybe if you weren't so beloved by the weirdo plant you might've avoided this.

That is a possible take.

[ loki flicks his fingers at it, hoping to send it away in his usual dimensional pocket but no dice. he sighs. ]

It is no fun if I can't use them wholly to my advantage.

Oh trust me, I know. I've been enjoying watching you stalk around and put the absolute fear of, well, you into people.

[But he also knows better than to try and get away at this point, so? He just lounges back into thin air - which is when he hits that stupid force field wall that's always around these things once they activate. It was hilarious watching people smash their faces into it for awhile, but now he's in here and that's not as amusing.]

They've got some powerful mojo protecting them. I tried setting one on fire and it did absolutely ziiiilch.

[And to demonstrate? Taako flips his Umbra Staff around and launches a fireball at the sprig of greenery, a ball of flame shooting from the tip of the umbrella. It hits the mistletoe and just...vanishes as if it were an illusion.]

See?

[ loki huffs. ]

Try not to burn things on the ship please.

Nah don't worry. I've got spell shaping so I only burn what I want.

[Or he had spell shaping until he threw his full weight into transmutation. Taako stops for a moment as he realizes this, then shrugs. ]

Besides, it didn't do anything, right? Annoying, but it is what it is.

[ loki squints briefly at the mistletoe. ]

No, they seem to be extremely durable. No doubt a way for us to provide quality content for our viewers.

"Quality."

[Taako mimes quotes with his fingers, rolling his eyes.]

I'm making a godsdamn wedding feast for two gay werewolves, you're up here scaring the living shit out of everyone - nice, by the way, totally dig it - but they still like to pretend it isn't enough.

Kinda surprised you got yourself caught though. Aren't you supposed to be in charge of all the best mischief?

[ huh. ]

It's been known to happen. I'm not above being caught by chaos.

What wedding?

The werewolves on the Fleet are gettin' hitched, so naturally they asked the best chef on the Fleet to cater.

[Or rather, Taako offered, and they took him up on it. But whatever. Details are dumb.]

They have some weird food things and so do some of the people attending, so it's been a "challenge." Mostly in figuring out how to make raw meat appealing without it all being sushi or weird hipster salads. But cha'boy Taako's got this in the bag.

[ ah, them. they seemed . . . nice, if not a little bland. ]

No doubt. You'll add a lot of colour to the wedding.

[Taako grins and snaps his fingers, sending a shower of multicolored sparks from his fingertips.]

Natch. Obviously me and Lup are going to make that party lit as hell.

[Then he sighs and kicks the invisible barrier holding them in.]

Once I'm free that is. You know how to break this spell, right?

I hear it has something to do with kissing.

[ he wasn't paying much attention beyond scaring people with mistletoe. ]

[Taako laughs because that's ridiculous, but then he thinks back to all the people he's been laughing at so far and?

]

....Well dunk, didn't see that one coming.

Were you truly unaware?

[ loki tends to keep tabs on things at all times, so he learned it sooner than later. ]

I just thought people were being horny - I wasn't going to judge.

[Taako shrugs and then laughs a little.]

But yeah, okay, so that's a thing. [A thing he's going to have to weaponize against a certain someone later.] I wonder if I can pull these things down and start throwing them at people now.

I think if it was a simple case of that, we'd see something far more entertaining.

[ who would have thought the atroma would make entertainment so . . . sanitized. very different from sakaar's approach, at least. ]

If you want, I can help with that.

People here seem to be very much not on the exhibitionist track, I've noticed. Kinda hard to have flings and one-nights when, yanno, you gotta be trapped with them for who knows how long.

[Makes the walk of 'shame' the next day kinda weird, too.

But as for getting Loki's help?]

And fuck yeah I want your help. Pulling pranks with the God of Mischief? Sign me right the hell up for that.

[ loki smiles, cocking his head at taako. ]

You want to use the mistletoe for mischief? Why not simply camouflage them until the right moment?

Yeah, we could, but....wouldn't it be more fun watching the horror in their eyes as it comes flying at them?

[He mimics throwing something like a baseball and uses his hand to simulate it flying through the air.]

Like "Oh no! I'm gonna be--," BAM! Stuckville.

[ his eyes light up in approval. ]

We could have flying invisible mistletoe. Perhaps even with a sound that alerts them of their inevitable doom.

[Taako snorts in laughter.]

Oh hell yeah! Like a beeping as it gets closer or--

[He giggles despite himself.]

Like a blaring horn as soon as it lands. Surprise the shit out of them and make them run into the invisible wall.

[ his smirk grows. ]

That sounds perfect. And completely within our scope of powers.

With the two of us putting our heads together? These chucklefucks will have no idea what's hit them.

[He holds up a hand for a high-five.]

[ loki looks at the hand before looking at taako, confused. ]
