If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks...

It's customary to have a Wake after the subject thereof dies. Even Loki knows that. But this is a special occasion. Ego-death is coming to his alternate, and the idea of letting him go off to perish alone, uncertain he will even be mourned, is too dark a proposition even for a flawed and callous person to contemplate.

That, and this Loki has been in a melancholy mood since speaking to the spirit of Frigga. He anticipates a dark choice of his own, sooner or later, and where the fates will send him after that, he can't know. Maybe oblivion, although even at that rate there may be worse places.

What's important right now is that no one dies unremembered. And honestly, any excuse for mischief a party. The first text rolls out to Harley, an innocent enough invitation to join them for milkshakes. Cricket is next, because it occurs to him that Cricket has plenty of liquor, which is good for a reckless celebration.

Things snowball from there.

As long as they don't destroy too much property, they'll call the night a success.

Yes, Loki is certainly high on something, and Thor can't stop a laugh at his brother's attempt to play off his moment of imbalance. "You know, they have this tradition on Earth called a pub crawl, where revelers trek from one tavern to the next to sample their wares. How thoughtful of you to gather all the drinks in one place and avoid the crawling altogether."

If there is to be a drinking contest, Loki has clearly already given himself a considerable starting handicap. When else is Thor going to have the opportunity to take advantage?

"Then by all means, let's make sure they're all drinks fit for gods."

Thor chuckles and gives Loki a friendly - if light - punch to the shoulder, as if he's testing to see how easily his brother will topple over. Not expecting it to, though; Loki is clearly tipsy, but not entirely legless. Yet. "Are you sure you can manage that by yourself?" he teases. "Maybe I should give you a hand."
