It's Pancake Day!

[abjurer]

Who: Anyone and everyone!
What: A feast of pancakes in honour of Shrove Tuesday.
When: Tuesday February 5th
Where: CH7, ground floor
Summary: Truly a feast day second only to Christmas!
Rating: PG/PG-13 for language if someone gets burned on the stove or hit by exploding magical pancake batter.

All of the ingredients have been gathered and are laid out when Max finally gets up that morning. More eggs and milk and flour than he's ever seen in one place and maybe he'd gone a bit overboard with it, but he didn't know how many people would be showing up. It wasn't as though they could use the rest of it some other time.


[OOC: Max's invitation can be found here. Essentially an open mingle post.]

[Loki is watching you, Thor.

Looking at you until you discover that one pancake covered in tabasco sauce and chili pepper.

And if you do, he'll do his best not to laugh too hard.]

[worldsaway]

[He doesn't notice he's being watched. He's too busy enjoying the delicious, sweet taste of these pancakes. He can't think of anything but how great they are and how...

Spicy..They are.

That doesn't seem right.

He scrunches up his face, but he's already swallowed it whole. It burns. IT BURNS. He takes a nearby pitcher of milk and downs it, still not noticing Loki nearby.]<.small>

[not_a_troll]

[Loki covers his mouth as he snickers but the snickers turn into snorts and he'll be laughing in no time.]

Thor, by Odin's beard, please gander upon your pancakes first before stuffing your face with them.

[worldsaway]

[Thor turns as Loki speaks, giving him the most put out and displeased expression he can. Though it's difficult given the spice in his mouth.]

How foolish of me! I have let my guard down despite knowing there are now two Lokis up to mischief.

Come over here.

[not_a_troll]

[Loki notices that and cannot stop giggling at all anymore. But he still approaches Thor, trying to stop the laughing by covering his mouth with his hand.]

Comparing my mischief with that of my older self...that is rather banal, Thor.

[worldsaway]

Forgive me. My mind is fuzzy due to the shock of such an impressive spice. [He half smiles at Loki, finding it hard to be stern with him when he's in such a pleasant mood.] Will you be eating your own flavoured concoctions or will you join me for regular pancakes?

[not_a_troll]

I could have graced the guests with more most mischievous pancakes but alas, my older self felt obligated to meddle.

[Loki makes a very, very dramatic gesture, as if the world is about to end.]

But yes, let me join you for regular pancakes.

[Oh, how he wishes he had his Starkphone to get a picture of Thors face after eating the overly spicy pancake. Such a shame that such a beautiful moment would be lost forever...]

[worldsaway]

Your older self seems to be up to his own mischief this morning. It is a most refreshing change from his general attitude.

[He laughs at the gesture, rolling his eyes a little and digging back into his stack of pancakes.]

You'd best hurry before your time is up and I take the offer back.

[not_a_troll]

Refreshing? That is an interesting choice of words. Has he been stuck in his own doom and gloom so long that he has forgotten the basics of mischief?

[Loki chuckles at that and grabs two pancakes for his own.]

I am eating, Thor, I am eating.

[He stuffs a pancake in his mouth.]

Fsee?

[worldsaway]

Perhaps I've not been here long enough to witness it, but he has not indulged in childish trickery for some time in the world I know him from. I would prefer mischief to chaos on any occasion.

So I see. [He smiles, chuckling as he stuffs the pancake into his mouth.] Most impressive.

[not_a_troll]

[Loki is aware of an interesting variety of snarky remarks bubbling up in his head when he hears Thor's remark. Somewhere along the line how his older self has been so terribly involved in making friends he despises to forget about mischief. Or that the word childish befits the act of his older self greatly.]

Chaos does not have to be a bad thing. It is what you do with chaos.

[He chews on his pancake in a thoughtful way.]

Do you really think you are able to change his ways, Thor?

[Loki leans back in his chair, looking at the other with a bit of a frown on his face.]

He appears to be changing. Yet, is he sincere or is it a mere trick?

[worldsaway]

[Thor reaches over and flicks Loki's forehead. Thankfully in a gentle manner, there's hardly any force behind it.]

You know what I meant, Loki.

[He looks thoughtfully down at his pancakes, shrugging lightly.]

I do not think I may change his ways. But I believe he may change his own, once he realises how well suited he is to happiness.

[not_a_troll]

[Loki chuckles softly and rubs his forehead.]

I might, Thor.

[While Thor looks down at his pancakes, Loki shoves another one in his mouth and makes loud noises while eating.]

Not directly, no. Indirectly, yes.

[Loki has to think hard about this.]

It should be his choice eventually

[worldsaway]

[Thor gives him a smile as he eats. Never has he ever been so proud of the young man.]

I've learnt it's much better to observe from afar than to meddle, but I do inflict my company upon him from time to time.

[A nod as he shoves a pancake in.] There will come a time when he needs to make a choice. It may be sooner than we think.

[not_a_troll]

[Loki smiles back briefly, not minding the syrup dribbling from the corner of his mouth.]

I think so too. Very soon.

He needs friends. He just has to admit he needs them.

[Because he himself sure needs them.]

[worldsaway]

[Thor matches his smile, though he wipes his own mouth with the back of his hand before returning to his meal.]

I will enjoy bearing witness to it. We can only hope he makes the right choice.
