[location: the stack house] time isn't wasted when you're getting wasted

[eggplantgout]

Jason Stackhouse had never been to college unless one counted a semester at tech school a university experience. He had however, watched plenty of movies that (many of them inaccurate) depicted college. This party was a new experience for Jason and he was damn well going to get it right.

The party would take place outside on the lawn in front of

Loki is excited. He can't eat any of the junk food, and he'll have to be careful with the alcohol because just randomly spitting beer everywhere is frowned upon in polite society, but it's a party. A party for him, and when has that ever happened?

"Man, this is gonna be the best party in history." He's practically bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Because timelines are for losers, this thread happens later on in the party. Dawn is perched on the kitchen counter, one heel snagged on the edge and the other leg hanging down, drumming against a cabinet.

"Did you guys get food not gummi bacon?" Welcome to friendship with Dawn, Loki. She's bossy as hell.

Loki is sitting backwards on a kitchen chair, chewing wax from one of the candy wax bottles. He forgot to buy gum and decided that suckers probably still count against the stupid rule.

"Yeah, Jason ordered a bunch of pizzas. They smell really good, you should have some." A polite host would offer to get her a piece, but this is Loki.

"You're the best host in the whole entire world." Dawn hops off the counter and stretches, rolling her shoulders. "Okay, where can I find this delicious smelling pizza?"

"Don't I know it, man." He's so making Dawn tell that to Bartleby, if his boyfriend BFF ever makes an appearance. "Probably in the living room? Or maybe out on the front lawn, I don't know. Hey, if you're going out there, can you get me some more wax bottles?"

After a while the wax gets stuck in his teeth, which kind of sucks.

"You said," Jenny begins, leaning over Loki's shoulder from behind, "your name was Larry." Her tone is vaguely accusing, and yet she's smiling like it's funny. Then again, how can anything not be funny when you're wearing a bed sheet? And she is -- rather fetchingly in fact, considering it's a bed sheet.

"Did you know, I didn't even know what a toga was, someone had to explain it to me." Tangents also come par for the course with Jenny.

[gunsnotvoodoo]

"Uh..." Yeah, shit, he did. "Loki's my nickname."

He turns to grin at Jenny and hope she really does think it's more amusing and less 'you asshole, you lied to me'. "Hey, cool toga!" His isn't as cool, because his hoodie is sticking out from underneath.

"Well I hope they didn't tell you some bullshit about the ancient Greeks, because it was the Romans who wore togas and they didn't look anything like this."

[timedaughter]

"Can I call you Loki, then?" She isn't really buying it, but it's only polite to ask if one can call someone by one's 'nickname.' And for the record, she's definitely way more amused than 'you asshole.' People have reasons for their secrets, and Loki's told her a lot already.

"Thanks!" She does a little twirl, showing off her bedsheet toga. "I did some research after they explained, mostly because I had an inkling that a real toga and a toga party weren't wholly compatible. Don't tell anyone, but I think I prefer the party version. This is comfy."

[gunsnotvoodoo]

"Sure! That's what everybody calls me, I hardly ever remember to answer to Larry." Whew, dodged that bullet.

He makes approving noises as Jenny shows off her costume. "Yeah, I'm trying really hard not to spoil Jason's fun with lectures on historical accuracy. But I guess it's authentic to college parties, if nothing else, right?"
