░ ONE. ▍VIDEO.

Ah—here we are.

[ time to do his actual job. there's a peer into the camera before he settles back smoothly, resting his chin in his hands and gives a festive, fingery little wave. he's dressed normally, simple green hoodie with his hair pushed back like he decided to up and make this message on whim (and it's possible with his capricious personality that it could be the case). ]

Hello there.

[ he leans back, pressing the tips of his fingers together casually and looking a pleasantly satisfied. ]

Next weekend, brought to you by high demand, there will be a little get together to sample some of the newer and more popular wares that I have to offer. [ he waves a hand carelessly. ] Cosmetics. Cosmetics of all kinds. I have a very vast and eclectic variety of powders, stains, liners, varnishes, and lacquers; with the appropriate sets, tools and utensils, of course. All types of colors and styles are available for those that need a more hands-on experience. Everyone will get a chance to try what they want, despite excess or lack of funds.

[ he holds up a bottle of black nail polish between his own dark nails, waving it enticingly. incentives. ]

Ah, and I have goodies for all attendees. I couldn't go without saying that, could I? No one walks off empty handed. Collective "yay"s all around.

Invitations are extended for anyone who would like a spot. Please RSVP, I've—well—erm, limited space and provisions set aside for the occasion. I wouldn't want anyone to go without refreshments, as that would be a very bland party.

[ he stops in the switch from one idea to the next, as if something's just occurred to him. ]

Oh, yes, before I forget—I'm also in need of a few hands for something I have planned. Nothing big, we'll save the missions and heists for another time, but anyone with the experience in the variety of brute strength and-slash-or the mixing of fine beverages is urged to contact me. Settled or unsettled. [ there's another thoughtful pause. ] Unsettled preferred.

...Who are you?

[inmyothertights]

.....I'll....help.

[selfimage]

[ that is a bit curious. he leans forward and leans his chin on his weaved fingers. ]

Now, I haven't fallen down the rabbit hole yet. Not that far, anyway, and you don't look like a caterpillar with a hookah.

I'm Loki. Shall we exchange introductions?

[selfimage]

RSVP one Billy Kaplan—I'll save you a goodie bag.

[inmyothertights]

Thanks.

I'm not wearing makeup, by the way.

[brushoff]

[ oooh, goodie bags. ]

Got any moisturizer among those cosmetics? It's a pain trying to keep up my youthful complexion. [ ha ha ha.... ]

[psychicpsycho]

Uh. [Blinks.] Sure, I'm Austin. [He's sitting in bed, messy-haired and propped up on a pillow, working on a glass of what looks like Coke. Okay, so it might be vodka mixed with Coke, and he might be slightly buzzed.]

So ignoring the drag queen shit for a second, what's this thing you've got planned?

[selfimage]

[ BILLY you're bad at this and also bad for business. ]

Then allow me the opportunity to convince you to change your mind.

[inmyothertights]

I don't think so.

[selfimage]

[ hey, he ... treats ... people right. sure!! ]

I'm sure I can dig up something. Prevention before cover, blah blah blah.

[ did he hear that somewhere? maybe. ]

[selfimage]

Teeny opportunity. Teeny-itty-bitty opportunity.

[Have a Light who totally doesn't look as if he's suffering from an acute case of jet lag. Really.]

I have your snacks.

[...He should probably also respond to this post in general, cosmetics and mix-drinking and whatnot. He'll do that after he gets his first preface out of the way, at least.]

[brushoff]

That would be good. Any idea about its texture? I don't want to cake the stuff on--I'm a young man, not an oil painting.

[ oh he is just on a roll with stupid inside jokes today. ]

[selfimage]

[ the whole last bit of the post was kind of enticing, wasn't it? ]

And you have my thanks. [ he looks him up and down through the camera, and it's obvious he gets enough from the glance, but he just has to ] ... How was your trip? Eventful, I hope.

[selfimage]

Well-met, Austin. Yes, assumptions and possible offenses aside, I've a small endeavor that I've been working toward. It seems that it might become a reality.

[ his voice lowers. ]

The deets, of course, are tip-top secret. I take it you're curious.

[godly]

[To his credit, he appears mostly attentive and committed to this conversation he's started.]

As eventful as an entire week overseas will allow. I think I've confused my internal clock, though. But that was to be expected. Overall, I saw a place that looked like home but wasn't; again, expected.

When do you want me to drop these off?

["These" being several boxes of pocky. He bought more than just one or two, because he felt kind of cheap otherwise.]

[selfimage]

Off-hand. Something light is usually preferable, they make all sorts, you know.

[selfimage]

Jetlag: one, Light: zero. Such a thing seems to work in mysterious ways.

[ there's a light shrug of his shoulders in response. ]

There's no need. I'll find you, hopefully while you're not nursing the matters of your internal ticky-tock.

[ vid until noted otherwise ]

[falsesmile]

I didn't expect you to be interested in cosmetics.

[ It was, however, perfect timing. She would need an array of items to age herself a few years, and if she could acquire them under the table, it would make her life easier. ]

[deathline]

[She stays up all night walking wandering around so Shiki figures she might as well see what her chances are in nagging a gig so she could do something.]

If it's brute strength, I wouldn't mind lending a hand.

[Androgynous and slender looks aside, but outward appearances aren't everything.]

[selfimage]

Less interest and more a given public duty upon arrival. You would've thought that I'd quit already, but the perks are really quite nice.

[ he examines the little bottle of nail polish he was holding. ]

[falsesmile]

Ah, the creative job placements strike again.

[godly]

I'll be fine. [It takes more than seven-ish days of completely disjointed sleep to defeat Light Yagami.] Just let me know before you visit, whenever you find the time.

So what's all this about something you have planned? [Item of intrigue first, topic of cosmetics second.]

[parallels]

[Well, that's all very interesting. Especially whatever involves fine drinks and brute force. But she'll address the most important thing to address.]

Well, I've never been a girl for cosmetic parties but as I had no time to pack before coming here and have a teaching job to do, count me in.

[selfimage]

Let's hope that someone's at least getting a good laugh out of it.
