By next Christmas, we'll be experts on the matter.

[inmyothertights]

And we can avoid mashed potatoes loaded with mayonnaise.

[selfequipped]

I really don't know why we didn't cater.

[inmyothertights]

Faith and hope?

[selfequipped]

No, see, I said we'd cater.

And then he showed up with food to cook.

[inmyothertights]

And mayonnaise.

Man.

Well.

It was a nice gesture?

[selfequipped]

How much of it do you think was Loki seeing how many times I'd walk in to the kitchen to yell at him only to know that it's inappropriate in front of guests?

[inmyothertights]

Your "I want to yell but can't" face is pretty good.

[selfequipped]

He was immune to it that day.

[inmyothertights]

And probably most days.

[selfequipped]

It works on some days.

1-17, earlier in the morning (like 3 a.m.)

[ Kate you are actually getting a call from Loki. actual call. ]

[selfequipped]

[She was ... actually sleeping. Shockingly. But when she sees Loki's name, and looks at the time, she grabs it instead of letting it go to voicemail.

It almost goes to voicemail.]

This had better not be a butt dial.

[selfimage]

I thought of a dirty joke and just had to run it by you.

[ pause for dramatic effect. ]

Well, no, no, not really.

I have something of general and all around importance to share with you. First of all--the wards are working on your apartment?

[selfequipped]

Hypothetically. [This is before Billy's suggestion that they change them up, so let's say yes.]

I'm guessing this is far more serious than a dirty joke, then.

And right into the territory of a valkyrie-versus-Loki verbal smackdown. It was very close to being in the middle of a local bar--I'm not sure if I should've been offended that I was that underestimated. Luckily, I managed not to make the teleportation too conspicuous. The cats out of the bag and the desperation is beginning to seep in desperately.

[selfequipped]

[She pauses, because she feels like she missed something. Kate rolls out of bed into a sitting up position, and she reaches for the lamp beside her bed to click the light on in her room.]

I feel like I missed something. [She pauses.] I was also actually sleeping.

[selfimage]

Ah—how about changing "Valkyrie" to "Kara." That might hit it on the nose.

[selfequipped]

No, I got that. I don't know why we're ... you. Why you're yelling at Kara?

[selfimage]

She sought out me. Apparently she thought I was the one who deliberately meant to point Skye in Jesse's direction—only more blamey. Most likely she meant to discourage me.

It was as good as an admission of guilt.

[selfequipped]

... What did Skye tell them? [she asks, mostly to herself.]

What else happened?

text; 1-20

[somethinghidden]

[ Just a couple days after finding Dean's charred body... ]

Hello, Kate. Since finding that body, I can't help thinking that sooner should probably be whole lot sooner than I'd initially expected. Would you have any time to discuss things about superpowers in the next couple days?

[selfimage]

It's not what Skye told them, it's what she did. Kara thinks I baited her into chasing around Jesse with a gun.

[selfequipped]

Hey, Simon. Pick a day and I'll make it work, except the 30th. I'll be out of town then.

[selfequipped]

She did what?
