I couldn’t stop thinking about this post by @worstloki

I’m still me. I’m always me.

I finished reading AoA

“I know what it is.” Jace commented, looking to the vile creature with disgust. “It could be and if not all of it, it’s definitely responsible for some of the wrong doings in my life.” Jace commented, stepping further away from it as it seemed to waddle closer. “Pretty sure they’re native to most places, they just decide to take over and wreak havoc on those who simply wish to go about their day.”

“oh, yeah?  and what’s that duck ever done to you?”  she’s highly amused by the way he’s acting, though she is prepared to step in the duck seems like it might actually attack him.  she’s not willing to stand back that much.  “look, man, you probably just need to ignore it.  it can probably smell your fear and that’s why it’s trying to, how did you say it?  wreak havoc on you.”

“No chance in hell sunshine. You’re on.” He ordered them both the combo that he had ordered many times before. The spread cake back and somehow it looked bigger than Bj remembered. “Okay, rules are simple, first one to down it all wins. If you puke afterwards it’s a draw. What do you want if you win? Not that you will, but as a courtesy I’ll let you imagine.” He taunted.

the spread of food is bigger than loki had been anticipating, but they have little doubt that they’ll still be able to win.  “the honor of gloating is a given, i assume?  hmm... i think that’s all i’d want.  no use kicking you while you’re already down and all.  what would you want?“  black-painted nails tap against the top of the table, impatient to begin while the food is still warm and fresh.

“I mean each to their own.” He loved it therefore he made time for it. Zeke had always been of the opinion that if something was important enough, you tended to find a way to make time for it but that didn’t mean everyone felt the same. “I’m good with that sometime though, just throw your number in my phone and I’ll text you when I know what my evenings are looking like.” Zeke offered, tossing it across the table willingly.

while loki wouldn’t trade being a writer for any other profession, there are times when they wish that they didn’t have quite so many deadlines, that they had time for what other things they enjoy, but they also know it’s a futile hope.  they snatch the other’s phone off the table, quickly entering their number and even putting their contact name as ‘food guinea pig.’  “there you go,” they say handing the phone back with a grin.  “now you’d better not forget about this agreement, eh?”

“You’re right, you’re right. It’s not like I’m dipping bread into milk. I’m just making something that’s goo even better with the nectar of trees.” Ariel chuckled, not having found someone quite so passionate about breakfast foods, but she admired them for it. “Swim practice. My father would have something to say about me coming on an empty stomach, but would also have something to say if I had eaten too late and then having to stop practice due to a stomach ache.” 

“bread dipped in milk?  can’t say i’ve ever tried that.”  there’s a thoughtful expression forming on their face now.  they’re not thinking about trying, definitely not.  "your father’s the coach?”  they stifle a laugh at trying to imagine trying to do any activity their father would be in charge of like that.  “i’m sorry, truly i am.  but if you’re set on not disappointing him, let’s get you that food sooner rather than later.”

Bj smirked and eyes the other down. “I don’t think think you can take it.” He taunted, always down for a little challenge. “I mean, that is of course, you want to prove me wrong. I have to warn you though, I was three time champion. I won’t blame you if you back down.” Two could play at this game.

this absolutely will not end well.  for either of them.  “well, maybe it’s time for the title of champion to fall on someone else,” they say as they flag down the waiter.  “i’ve never been one for backing out of competitions, so really this is your last chance to back down.”

“I suppose but when you enjoy something, why would you get someone else to do it for you?” Zeke liked it from the perspective of going out to a nice restaurant where he could learn things or quaint little bistros where family recipes were used but he couldn’t do that as often as he’d like given how expensive it would be. A laugh left him at the others idea. “Ah… I don’t think breaking in would leave a very good impression but I wouldn’t mind cooking for you some time. It’s always good to get peoples reviews so I can try and better myself.”

they shrug, a minor movement.  “dunno, convenience i guess?  i’m a busy person, and as much i might enjoy cooking, i don’t always have the time that i’d like to be able to make my own meals.”  and money to eat out was never an issue; one of the few things loki can say they’re grateful to their parents for is the amount of money they have readily available, though they do have their own success to thank as well.  “you’re probably right that it wouldn’t, although it would definitely be fun.  i won’t pressure you into it if you really don’t want to.  but what i want is to be a, shall we say, guinea pig - if you don’t mind cooking for me, i don’t mind trying the food.”

loki’s eyebrow raises as she looks between the man and the duck.  “it’s a duck,” she says after a moment of disbelief.  “you’re acting as if it’s personally responsible for everything wrong in your life.  i highly doubt it is.  as for why it’s in this town... i’m fairly certain they’re native to this area.  maybe you should have chosen somewhere else to live if you don’t like them.  just a though.”

“Seriously why does the town have these foul things wandering around like they own the place.” Jace complained, backing up as a duck waddled towards him. “Seriously, they’re such free loaders, they do nothing but get in your way, steal people’s bread and cause chaos. Stupid bastards.”

"Clearly you’ve found the errors in my way, I guess I just have a little but of a distaste for soggy food. But really, I should trust the maple syrup method, something so good surely couldn’t betray me.” She commented, “It’s nice to meet you Loki and please, I don’t want to have to go to practice and for everyone to hear my stomach making those noises. I’ll be a distraction.”

“it’s not soggy,” they retort, “it’s sugary deliciousness.”  the anger is still all fake, loki keeping the act up (though it’s given away with their smile).  “it’s a pleasure to meet you, too, miss ariel.  we can’t have you being a distraction for... practice for what, exactly?” there’s curiosity coloring their voice now.

“Oh hell yeah.” Bj smiled, no remembering the last time he had a good cheeseburger. “Back in the day, a couple of buds and I would sit down and have a contest to see who could devour a cheeseburger, fries, onion rings, and a shake the fastest. I’m not suggesting we do that unless you want a stomach ache for five years, but man it was fun.” Beej laughed.

their eyebrows raise for a moment in disbelief before they laugh at the idea of the contest. "i think you might be underestimating me and my stomach," they counter. while they can't recall ever really eating as much as the rest of their family or friends from childhood, loki does seem to have a bigger appetite than most other people. "i'm down for doing that, unless you're saying you won't." there's a clear challenge in their voice, but amusement lights their eyes.

“Hmmm.” Elizabeth thought for a moment. “My younger sisters are quite fond of the fried chicken or the steak dinner. They order one of those every time we come here and they usually get quite full.” Elizabeth laughed, remembering just how ridiculous they all were. “Do either of those sound appetizing?”

"both sound delightful," they say after a short moment as they looked through the menu for each one. "but.... the chicken sounds more interesting. which do your sisters seem to like better?"

“That’s actually-… pretty genius.” Kai commented, he never thought that being young looking could get you ahead in getting away with things, but clearly that was the case, or so the other said. “I’d say it’d also be a curse when you’re trying to get served at a bar.” He pointed out. “Not a criminal, if i was criminal then I wouldn’t have a job, be behind bars, have a record and yada yada.” Kai commented and he had managed to get away with being squeaky clean some how, “But yes, Sunday is a day mostly for scheming and very little physical activity.” When the other said they were in, Kai couldn’t help but grin, leaning over the bar to gesture to a table near the far back. “Those douchey look frat guys.”

"oh, but i can usually get other people to buy my drinks for me," loki says, aiming an expectant grin to kai. "and if that fails... well, i do carry my id with me." she's been carded often enough to know never to leave it behind. it was almost as if the bartenders who'd served her in the past were suddenly expecting her to be underage. "not to argue semantics, but i'm fairly certain a criminal is just, yknow, someone who has committed a crime. not just the ones that have been caught." if not for the amusment clear in her eyes, someone might think loki is being wholly serious. "well, they certainly look like they deserve whatever you're planning. so where do i come into this plan?"

rcncgades‌:

“I do.” She commented confidently. “A main of bacon with a side of pancake does sound pretty good, with a little bit of maple syrup to top it off.” She spoke almost dreamily, hearing her stomach growl ever so slightly at the thought of the food she was talking about. “Well given the noises my stomach is making, I’m not going to say no.” Ariel commented, sitting opposite the other. “I’m Ariel by the way.”

“only a little maple syrup?  if your pancakes aren’t absolutely drowning in the stuff, you aren’t doing something right," they respond, indignant. but the faux anger is quickly washed away with a genuine smile as she settles into the other chair. "loki," they return. "now, let's get those noises taken care of, eh?"

“The pleasure is all mine.” Elizabeth smiled. “I’m always up for al challenge. I’m particularly fond of chicken noodle soup. It’s a wonderful comfort food if you fancy that type.” She offered as she pointed it out on the menu.

"chicken noodle soup, eh? it does sound amazing, but i'm looking more for..." they tap a finger against their chin thoughtfully, "a full meal? not just a bowl of soup."
