[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?

[diana_abel]

Dude. I'm not insane. Just...otherwise sane.

[hung_garian]

Honey, you're in my kitchen, naked. You think we've met, you just kissed my face, and you're happy about having had your arm ripped off by Lucifer. You're batshit crazy.

[diana_abel]

But that doesn't mean I'm not a good time.

[hung_garian]

Oh, I'm sure it doesn't.

[He makes a visible effort not to look anywhere but her face. He doesn't quite succeed.]

Very sure.

[A sigh. He shrugs off his jacket, and offers it over.]

So...I just did a log where Cas gave her the trenchcoat. I'm now cracking up.

[diana_abel]

[She takes it, grinning as she throws it over her shoulders.]

I don't know why I'm so happy. I really don't.

Was she going around naked with him too?! Gabriel is feeling SO BETRAYED right now :|

[hung_garian]

I do have that effect.

[Although, yeah, he's going on the assumption that she's skipped her meds.]

So-- this Ben guy's the one looking after you, yeah? How about we take you to find him?

Nah, she'd just had her arm ripped off.

[diana_abel]

Oh, he's probably with his girlfriend right now. Her name is Pasha. She's Russian.

Dean's afraid of her.

That's okay, then.

[hung_garian]

Well, she is Russian. Can't blame him.

[Hrm. Dean and Cas. Coincidence?]

Winchester? Or Martin?
