Were you truly unaware?

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

[abracafcku]

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.

[dothelokimotion]

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.

[abracafcku]

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.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles, cocking his head at taako. ]

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

[abracafcku]

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.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his eyes light up in approval. ]

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

[abracafcku]

[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.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his smirk grows. ]

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

[abracafcku]

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.]

[dothelokimotion]

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

[abracafcku]

....Oh my gods, have you never had a high-five before?

[Taako touches his heart. This is the cutest thing ever, what the fuck. Also sad. Why don't more gods know this essential part of life???]

Here, raise your hand like I did mine.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki . . . tentatively touches taako's hand with his fingertips. ]

Like this?

[abracafcku]

More like this.

[He reaches out to hold Loki's wrist to straighten it, palm forward. Then he slaps his hand against Loki's with a grin.]

You're welcome.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his eyebrows furrow. ]

And this is a greeting?

[abracafcku]

Kinda everything.

[He lets go with a smile.]

Hey. What's up. Long time no see. Fuck yeah, my dude. We're gonna kick some ass.

[Then he snorts in laughter.]

The last time we tried to high-five a god, she said we'd blow up if we touched her. So this is pretty great.

[dothelokimotion]

[ what an absurd greeting. loki pulls his hand back. ]

That seems like an extreme reaction.

[abracafcku]

Eh, gods in our world are kinda...

[He gestures abstractly.]

The bodies we see aren't their real selves. They're all power. So touching one them would be like touching a well of magic so large no mortal body could encompass it.

So?

[He mimes the motion of something blowing up in his hands and with his mouth.]

Kaboooom.

[Then shrugs.]

Apparently. I wasn't gonna try it. Taako's good with not getting blown up again.

[dothelokimotion]

That seems wise.

[ also a terrible way to be a god. just power? awful. ]

[abracafcku]

Pfft, no shit.

[But now that the conversation reached a natural lull, Taako realizes they're still stuck in here. And the parameters for their release are very clear.

He really hopes this won't get weird. He likes Loki and he doesn't kiss just anyone unless he figures he won't see them ever again and it's a "hey let's get drunk as fuck and see what happens" dealio. And the last time he'd let himself do that? Was a loooong time ago.

Taako pops his lips and then rolls his shoulders.]

Okay, so how's this [He motions between the two of them] gonna work then, huh?

[dothelokimotion]

[ hmm. loki squints at the flowering twig. ]

I assume any kiss will do?

[abracafcku]

[He glances up at it, too, turning over the options.]

Probably? I mean, I've seen all kinds going on.

[Wait no, that sounds bad. Taako bursts out into laughter.]

Fuck! That makes me sound creepy. I mean, yanno, just casual observing of all the goobers getting stuck over and over as I pass by. Not sure what gets the plant off, but so far it looks like just about anything goes.

[dothelokimotion]

Then something simple should suffice.

[ not that loki will tell anyone if it was that easy. much better to let them run around like headless chickens. instead he extends his hand politely, like a gentlemen. ]

[abracafcku]

[Taako looks at Loki's hand, offered toward him, and then laughs again.]

What, you want me to kiss your hand like I'm swearing loyalty or something?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki rolls his eyes. ]

No, though I would not be adverse to it. Give me your hand.
