VOICE ┼ ’cause Lennon’s on sale again

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Here's a great way to pass those free hours you don't know how to fill:

Bring me one of these posters with Persephone on it, I'll sing some lyrics right in your face. Live. If you don't know why that's totally worth it, ask someone who's been to one of my shows.

Comments

That's definitely not what I meant. I just mean, I'm not sure I can handle a solo performance?

[his reaction to Luci's performance, as compared to Persephone's, sure was Different. both were intense, but Luci's was the kind of intense he'd actually want to do again, possibly as often as possible]

Um. And I don't mind just, sharing, instead of trading.

[this is what Persephone is complaining about, when she's complaining of her fans becoming Disturbingly Wholesome]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Oh no, I'm going to continue to be offended. How dare you not take my wonderful gift in exchange for a hideously designed poster.

[Yes. She is fucking with him.]

If I'm going to decide to not be offended anymore, I'm going to need two posters and three shots of espresso.

[fehus]

[the sad part is, he knows she's fucking with him. but his pulse still spikes nervously aaAAaaa AAaa]

I think you might be confusing me with a barista? Or possibly your intern?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[God Magnus, why do you stick around her.]

Oh no, no, never an intern. Slavery is terrible. No this is a simple exchange: my continued favor for some paper and caffeine. It's a great deal.

[fehus]

I didn't realise I had your favour.

[he probably shouldn't have said it. Magnus Chase is likely the kind of boy who believes in jinxing a good thing and knocking on wood]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Then you're not very observant, are you?

I don't have a lot of time, Magnus. If I keep talking to you, it's because I think it's worth the time. So, can I expect a coffee, or am I going to be annoyed?

[fehus]

[there was at no point in this conversation a time when he wasn't going to get her coffee]

Is it cliche to assume you take it black?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[And truth be told, she probably would have kept talking to him anyway.]

Yes, yes it is.

But that doesn't make it not true.

[fehus]

Got it, Pumpkin Spice Latte, extra whip, smiley in the foam. Where's the delivery going?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Careful Chase, I might start liking your lip.

Where else? My palace in Miami. It's a little less drafty now, promise.

[fehus]

[UM???]

[he's going to be careful indeed; he doesn't know what Luci does, to people she likes the lip of]

Okay. Um. I'll be there in... 20 minutes? I camp in the woods in De Chima.

[that is still very fast, for Porter travel, especially coming from a rural area. it seems like he doesn't want to lose favour]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[Terrible, awful things. Parties, wild nights running on rooftops, shopping, setting shit on fire-- Luci surrounds herself with interesting people, and she drags them to whatever fun she finds. The less they argue, the more often they're invited.]

In the woods? For fuck's sake, I hope you don't have ticks.

[His haste is noted and she is pleased.]

[fehus]

[that's embarrassing oh my gods? he forgot that most people thought if you lived in a tent you were a dirty flea-ridden monster]

[defends;]

I'm a nature demigod, I don't get bitten by ticks or poison oak or sunburned or frostbitten or whatever. [he pauses] I'm basically only susceptible to my own crappy cooking and my friend from Valhalla, here.

[he's moving as he talks, clearly getting ready to go on his errand]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

And I'm assuming the normal stuff-- cars, guns, et cetera?

[She really hopes this guy can't be brought down by nothing but expired milk.]

[fehus]

Man, you must go on some wild nature hikes?

[okay, he's got his ass ready. time to go; wind starts whooshing in the background]

But no. That's because of the einherjar stuff, though.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

I sometimes played in parks, yeah.

[Nature and Luci-- things that do not go together.]

Ahh. Invincible until you undercook your meat, what a life.

[fehus]

Under a full moon? Or in pitch black?

[it's a joke, Ha Ha, but -- he sounds a little excited, too. he really loved Luci's concert. he wants to hear about her other ones]

How'd you know about the chicken water experiment? And I'm not invincible. The scale's just different where I'm from, of things trying to knock your ass down. Getting punched by a giant is like, ten car crashes at once.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Both. I did four shows a week back in England, couldn't get enough. [Good times. She needs more funding so she can do more shows here.] Always had to do something new, always had to pull the regulars back.

We're not so different then. I could have a building fall on me and I'd come out crying over my suit. [Unless the building came down when she was performing. Then she would be D-E-D, dead. Again?]

[fehus]

Did you have a favourite place to perform?

That's understandable. Your suits are really, um, nice.

[they're hot.]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[Her suits are hot. Though she doesn't have too many right now, hopefully that'll change once her music picks up and she'll have a wardrobe and maybe even a bedframe.]

Bars. [She breathes in and lets out a heavy sigh.] People who hang around bars are either looking for fun, or feel stuck. Both just need a little push to really get going. [Bars also had great potential for chaos and fighting. Everybody had a good time.]

I take my clothes very seriously, kid. Especially here, given they're few and far between.
