Here, have a few helpful scenarios for test-driving. Feel free to ignore them and make your own.

I.
Wherever you were, you aren't any longer. You took a turn, a step, blinked and you're somewhere else entirely. A long dusty road leads from nowhere to an oasis (or a nightmare, depending on your taste) of pink and bright light in the midst of the scrub desert and there's nothing and no one else in sight. If you linger long enough on the road, one of the Inn's residents will find you, but you feel noticeably drawn to come inside.

The pink and gold lobby looks like a bunny puked Easter everywhere, and the guy at the reservation desk looks a sort of silly putty shade of pinkish grey. He knows you by name and has a room reserved for you, but other than offering you fresh towels, that's all he has to say. Chances are, one of the residents will intercept you before you talk to Darryl the shade. They'll give you a guest basket with toiletries and chocolates and whatever else Caroline thinks a newcomer needs, and explain (nicely) that you're stuck here, but hey, it's not so bad. It's pretty safe, anyway. At least... so far.

II.
The red, gold and gaudy pink of the Copper Cafe overflows with residents. It's morning, the one and only time nearly everyone finds themselves in the same space for a short window before going about their day. The scent of fresh coffee laces the air, mingling with the buttery aroma of fresh baked pastry. The shade who serves as a cook, Kahni, awaits any orders that include chicken (chicken, not eggs), and Carlos has staffed one of the residents who can cook to make anything else you'd like. Kitty's pouring drinks -- no reason not to drink bloody maries or mimosas on your permanent holiday. Grab a spot at the counter or take a seat at an empty table, now that you're a resident too, there's no better way to start your day.

III. Network

“Not to be pedantic, but people being okay or not isn’t the same as it mattering.” This was how the game went. How long would it take the other side to realize that Loki was talking purely to string words together and see what reactions he could get? “Once you’re dead, I doubt you care how it happened.” Loki… might. Was he Asgardian enough to worry about Valhalla or Hel? Likely not. Yet more joy of being Jotun.

Axl Johnson (aka Odin) (st_andin4odin) replied to a comment you left in a Dreamwidth entry "[ Meme ] August-September Test Drive Meme (TDM)". The comment they replied to was: "You die for all kinds of reasons. Does it really matter?" Now he was trolling. Loki found a button, he leaned on it until something broke. The reply was: Subject: Re: Axl Johnson | Almighty Johnsons "Uh... yeah." His voice rose up and kind of got higher too. "Like, old age is pretty much the only way most people want to go, you know? Dying's not really on most people's lists of 'things to be okay with'."

Axl was used to being goaded by his brothers, but it didn't mean he still didn't take the bate more often than not. "Uh, well, I'll care while I'm dying and I sort of thing that's enough. I mean, dying's not exactly fun."

Were all Loki's dicks?
