i. wandering

Tony was not having the best day. Waking up in strange places with no idea of how he'd gotten there might have been old hat, but opening his eyes to what looked like -- the hell, was that a dorm room? -- was a new one. He'd been in Vegas, he knew that. Was pretty sure there had been some sort of stupid award involved and that Rhodey would be turning up to bitch at him over it any second now.

Except Vegas was a lot of things, but it definitely did not look like this. Stumbling out of the building and into a completely unfamiliar place had not helped. He didn't have to be a genius to tell that he wasn't in Kansas anymore, but it helped. If this was a joke, it seriously wasn't funny, and if this was some sort of weird kidnapping then it was the dumbest one Tony had ever heard of.

He mostly found himself making his way cautiously through the streets, half trying to find anything familiar and half just trying to get his head together. And despite the obvious suspicion and wariness in his expression, his entire posture seemed lighter than usual. He stood straighter, held his head higher, and almost visibly seemed less tired for all that he hadn't actually changed at all.

And every so often, he found himself staring up at the sky with an expression of deep skepticism. "Okay seriously," he muttered, more to himself, "is this some kind of weird VR thing or what?"

ii. drinking

Once it had become clear that this was both not a trick and not somewhere he was going to be leaving any time soon, Tony had done the only natural thing and gone to find a drink. Or two. Or a dozen. If the choice was between the lack-of-privacy suite and the truly pathetic excuse for a workshop he'd stumbled across, Tony would very happily install himself in any of the bars he could find and stay there instead.

It wasn't calming, exactly, but it was at least something he knew how to handle. So he smiled and flirted and bought drinks at random. If he couldn't find a party, he started his own, spilling out across tables and corners. He was loud and obnoxious and if not drunk, then close to it. If you had to be stuck in some random-ass place, might as well make the best of it. Right? Right.

[ Loki shoots him a flat look. ]

Who would?
dothelokimotion: (There are no trees in the library)

[ Loki hesitates before shrugging loosely. ]

Why not?

Do you not like my face, Stark?

[ Loki's grin broadens with a flash of teeth. ]

[ His expression flickers minutely at that. ]

Very well. Shall I lead the way? I know of a few watering holes.

[ Loki juts out his chin as he moves forward with an imperious step to his gait. He heads to Trix, his other self's bar. It was the one Loki felt safest in and if he needed to depart or if he felt it was too much of a bother, Loki can count on him to take care of Tony. ]

Do you even have money on you?
dothelokimotion: (That is the self we imagined we were)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-08-25 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
I might even be beyond your pay grade.

[ Loki was a prince, after all. And there were places in Asgard literally covered in gold. ]

[ Are you really? Loki wonders. His natural inclination is to disbelieve but Stark has no reason to lie to him right now. He has no idea who Loki is. He wonders if this is what it was like for Thor and dismisses it. Thor had it easier. Thor always did. ]

You might not like what you find.
dothelokimotion: (One arc to a finish)

[ Loki's nose crinkles. ]

Why would I take you to an alley and beat you with a mug? As amusing as that mental image is, I find it rather gauche.

[ Loki hesitates and gives up. If he gets hell for it later . . . well, he can weather it. ]

Nothing. Perhaps I'm merely shy.

[ Loki bats his eyelashes at him with a grin. ]

Can you really?
dothelokimotion: (Comfort was the answer to all)

Be careful that it does not run off without you.

[ As hearts are wont to do. Loki frowns to himself before shaking away thoughts of Steve. ]

[ Loki shrugs. ]

I am still here, am I not?
dothelokimotion: (Time itself doesn’t work)

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-09-02 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Time will tell.

[ Loki trails behind, his arms neatly folded behind his back. ]
