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.

"There are these wonderful things called 'milkshakes' that you simply must try!" Why, no, there was no such thing where he's from, but he's a fan, now. "Oh, and I'm told there's a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich that's very popular, though I can't imagine why--raw greens are dreadfully unhealthy..."

Kinner grins in reply. "Oh, I've had plenty of milkshakes. And the second part...you mean a hamburger?" Kinner's smile turns into a grin. He's quite fond of hamburgers, and it's been too long since he's had one. "You'll have to show me where I can find those. They may not be the healthiest, but they taste delicious. Take my word for it."

"I think they offer them here," comes the slightly puzzled reply. Restaurants are not as much of a thing in his day as they are, now, at least not in Europe.

"I'll have to see if I can find one. This party's got some interesting dishes, that's for sure. My shrimp are going over well." Kinner jabs a thumb to the shrimp platter.
