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.

Very few people accept Harley's rationale... for good reason. But it is nice to have someone like Cricket who has faith in her.

"I am sure you could help him, Cricket." Harley grins. "I think it is sweet... that you want to help him be less sad."

Cricket is very loyal once you win him over. And it...actually doesn't take a whole lot to win him over. If Hermione ever meets him, she'll probably know he's a Hufflepuff at heart even without the Sorting Hat around to confirm that.

"Hope he thinks so, too," he tells her with a tipsy little laugh, and gives her a hug.
