[Well, this would be less weird if he actually recognised the naked lady sitting in the kitchen. On the other hand, he's not going to complain.]

Hey yourself. Looking to replace Jamie Oliver as the Naked Chef, are you? Not gonna lie, you've got my vote already.

[diana_abel]

Well, that totes made my day.

[hung_garian]

And this makes mine, don't get me wrong, but, uh-- what are you doing here again? Did Santa bring you, 'cause he's a little early for Christmas... not that I'm complaining.

[diana_abel]

There's my favorite Statler.

[She slides off of the counter and trots over to him, still naked, giving him a peck on the cheek.]

Long story. Don't ask. I have crazy-brain.

[hung_garian]

Y'know, I was starting to get that impression.

[About which he is complaining. Naked girl in the kitchen - great. Naked crazy girl in the kitchen, less great. Now he can't take advantage without moral and ethical compromises. Darn.]

You supposed to have some kind of carer, honey?

[diana_abel]

Well, for the most part, Ben kinda takes care of me. But he's been off on a lot of benders lately.

Cas used to. But he's kinda a dick in this world. Again, long story.

[She grins.]

So you're a candidate for princey's hand in marriage, huh?

[hung_garian]

You're saying words. I don't know what they mean.

[And he wasn't going to try to understand. He recognised 'Cas', of course, but that had to be a sufficiently common name for him not to assume she meant Castiel.]

Oh, yeah. Blushing bride-to-be, etc.... hope he didn't want a white wedding, that ship sailed a looooooooong time ago. I take it you are too?

[diana_abel]

Yup. And really, who could blame them? I mean...come on...

[She strikes a pose. Of course, being naked, a sexy pose isn't hard to do.]

[hung_garian]

[It's nothing he hasn't seen before. In his time, he's seen an awful lot of naked bodies. Still, being the gentleman that he is, he stares for a moment (or two), then clears his throat, steps back, and averts his gaze.]

Well, I hope you're not here to try and get rid of the competition, Cinderella.

[diana_abel]

Nah. I think I'd kinda dig if he picked you.

Btw, you are way more pleasant than the last Loki around here.

[hung_garian]

Well, I am a hell of a catch.

[But that-- ]

Far as I remember, sweetheart, I'm not wearing a nametag. You know my name... how, exactly?

[diana_abel]

[She sighs.]

We've met before. You just don't remember. It happens all the time, don't take it personally.

[hung_garian]

Sure we have. I expect we were on a pilgrimage to visit the Easter Bunny together, along with John Lennon and Megatron, and then we all went to Walgreens for cookies and milkshakes.

[diana_abel]

[Head tilt.]

Who's Megatron?

[hung_garian]

He's a Transformer. Cool guy.

[diana_abel]

The toys that change from cars to robots?

[hung_garian]

He's not a toy, he's the Adversary.

[diana_abel]

I'm pretty sure that anything without reproductive organs doesn't qualify.

[hung_garian]

Don't see why. I doubt Lucifer uses his for anything worthwhile.

[diana_abel]

[She wrinkles her nose.]

I don't like him. He ripped my arm off and beat me with it.

Huh. I'm normally kinda angry about that but...I don't know what's going on today. I'm just so inexplicably happy.

Must be you!

[hung_garian]

Doesn't sound typical of him. What did you do, steal his Barbies?

[He looks at her a little more carefully, at that - at her face, that is, rather than the rest of her, though the temptation is definitely there. Is it 'his' Lucifer she's referring to? And if so, how could she have pissed him off that badly? Even he'd only got himself stabbed.]

That or you forgot to take your meds. Either way.

[diana_abel]

I'm pretty sure meds are supposed to make you happy.

[A beat. And she has the attention span of gnat, it seems.]

Hey, have you ever met John Lennon?

[hung_garian]

Not this happy.

[It's a sudden subject change, but not an unwelcome one.]

Once or twice. Back before he was famous, of course. Wouldn't wanna be seen hanging around with someone as low-key as -- well, as Loki. Kind of an asshole, TBH, but a decent guy at heart.

[Spoiler: it's about 50-50 odds that he's lying. As usual.]

[diana_abel]

That was always my biggest regret. Never getting to meet him.

[Apparently, she's taking it at his word anyway.]

[hung_garian]

Sure it wasn't taking all those drugs or getting that head injury?
