WHAT in person
WHERE Heavenly Grounds
WHEN 75!!

[So how do you feel about getting into the holiday spirit? Because with all that wine around from the Bingo victories someone's put a sign up outside Heavenly Grounds today advertising a ~holiday party~ There's festive decorations with mulled wine, hot toddies, spiked egg nog. You name it, it's there to get you plastered.

And I guess there's cookies and fruit cake and stuff too, but who needs food when there's drinking?]

Normally sad crying. One time when I was younger, I had too many and started crying because it hit me all the dogs I'd met as a kid were dead.

[paaaause because now all the people she knew as a kid are dead]

As long as it's happy crying, I wouldn't sweat it.

[fjdkf laughs]

Oh, oh no, that's terrible. That is sad, Norns, Barns.

That was a long time ago. I got better at the whole drinking thing.

You're going to make me cry just thinking about it. Ugh. Oh! Maybe you should get a dog!

Do you have dogs here?

I have seen a few! There is a shelter being tended to by a few young men out by the mall.

Maybe after I settle in. If I stop staying with Steve...

Steve doesn't like dogs?

No. I think he likes dogs. That doesn't mean he wants me to get one.

I was about to say, THAT doesn't sound right. Maybe he wants a dog! HEY ROGERS, DO YOU WANT A DOG? Blast, where is he.

You don't have to do that! I'll... I can ask later.

Okay, okay. It is a good idea though. Dogs are great.

They are. Steve kind of reminds me of a puppy sometimes. In a good way—he's loyal like that.

[Thor, likewise, seems like a very big, very good dog.]

I will take your word for it! We don't have any dogs on Asgard. Didn't. That's well done on you, humans.

What kind of pets did you have on Asgard if you didn't have dogs?

[leans back.]

We have, had, pets, but not any animals that you would know...

[LOOKS DISTRAUGHT FOR A SECOND

then groans, rubs his whole face]

Ugh, damn it. No, okay, okay. We traded... okay. Never mind, they're not extinct, father traded them a few hundred years ago offworld in preparation for Ragnarok. Fenrir's tits, Barnes, you just about cursed me to do literally what you just described.

Sorry. I didn't mean to. Should have known better than that.

[she rubs the back of her neck]

Maybe you should get a dog? It'd be good company.

[he laughs!!strained.]

That seems like a lot of responsibility. I'm saying that ironically, you see, due to how I'm a king now.

I think you can handle it. Practice for when you get back to being a king.

[at least he steers back from maudlin to giggling]

Those are two completely unrelated responsibilities. Maybe like... a snake... I've always wanted a snake. But it seems a shame to keep them in a cage...

So don't keep it in a cage? I guess I don't know what you do with snakes though.

[squints.]

I suppose I could ask the google about it.

[clearing her throat to keep from laughing at that a little]

The google might know.

Alright, but, Barnes! We were talking about how you should get a dog. Due to your incredibly adorable dog affection.

It's not... [she frowns, brows drawing together] I didn't do anything adorable.
