You've reached Loki.

One presumes you know how to continue from this point.

When my contract with Hope runs out I'm gonna ask if he wants to contract and it'll probably come up then. When I can filter what I say. We'll see how that goes

Kinda. Like not enough that you should if you don't care. But I feel like you could ask things I want to answer

Truth serum is 95% shitty and 5% forces me to say what I mean without all the bullshit I normally have to pad it with and that has advantages

[autolatrical]

I wish you luck with that endeavor. You deserve happiness, Quentin.

I do care, I simply don't wish to... overstep.

When you said that people I know probably have an invitation, who were you thinking of? Because I know a lot of people, at this point.

[proofofconcept]

People say that to me a lot

Caitlin's mentioned you and I would be completely shocked if she doesn't have an invitation. And if her +1 is taken she's been here longer than me so she might have a better idea of who else to ask

[autolatrical]

It is because it's true.

[ Also because, perhaps, the arc of the universe doesn't seem too inclined to provide it to him. ]

Should I ask her, or wait for her to bring it up?

[proofofconcept]

I know that you mean that when you say it

I can ask her for you if you want but I don't think she'd mind you asking her. I don't know if she'd bring it up on her own

[He knows about Cait's desires, but he also knows she doesn't necessarily speak of them easily.]

[autolatrical]

I'll take that, I suppose.

[ He knows it's not the same as believing it's true, but here we are. ]

Most likely I can manage to bring it up.

[proofofconcept]

[It's not. But it's the closest he can get, when he can't just lie and say he knows.]

I hope you go

Partly because it's you and I'm unreasonably hot for you but also partly because I'm hoping the ratio of "hard but reasonable sadists" to "murderers" skews toward the former and I feel like that's the category you're in.

[autolatrical]

Well I don't have any interest in murdering anyone here, certainly.

[ Has he murdered people before? Yes. Is he going to offer up details on the hows and whys of all that right now? Definitely not. ]

I am interested in attending. For a variety of reasons.

] Including but not limited to "looking out for his friends(??)" and "assessing the threat level of other people who would attend the same party" ]

[proofofconcept]

[Quentin has definitely also killed people -- there's a difference between getting into the middle of conflicts where someone has to die and like sexually murdering people.]

Maybe we'll also hang out there, then. Assuming the pregaming goes well

[autolatrical]

I would like that.

[proofofconcept]

[nngh...he's thinking about the things Loki could do to him at this party. He might just have to. Go take a long shower about that.]

Is there anything else you wanna ask while you have me?

[autolatrical]

Are we friends?

I imagine we are, but. I have not had many.

[proofofconcept]

We're definitely becoming friends. We're not super close or bonded yet because we don't know each other that well yet. But we're at least a little bonded after that first cnc shitshow and we're getting closer. So yeah, we're friends.

[autolatrical]

Excellent.

I have another question: what are your thoughts on Stephen Strange?

[proofofconcept]

I need that guy to use some longer fucking sentences with me. We've sort of managed to work it out recently but oh my god. For a good while I was like no, it's my fault, I just can't understand him because my brain is broken and he's communicating perfectly clearly, but no I can more or less understand every other person I'm fucking. The problem is him. He's just a cryptic asshole for no fucking reason. Like you could ask him if he has milk and he'd be like idk do I or like why don't you come find out.

[PHEW apparently he's had some thoughts building up.] That said, when I finally just confronted him and was like I don't even know if you like me, I need you to communicate better if we're gonna be friends, he seemed receptive. He told me I wasn't broken and my brain being weird isn't my fault, people should treat me with compassion. He said it would be okay if I feel confused about him to just ask where we're at. So as crazy as it sounds, I don't think he's an obnoxious asshole on purpose.
