So is this how it normally happens? You read something on whatever it is and suddenly, bippity boppity boop, here I am to make your life better?

Gotta admit that yeah, your life is more awesome with me in it.

-she looks and sees exactly what inspired her to come to life as a muse and starts laughing-

Really? That? Yeah, are you sure Loki didn't scramble your brains along with Erik? Because that's not gonna happen. Probably. And besides, I need to make sure Jane actually gets out of her pajamas.

That's a full time job, you know. I know it says intern but really, she's in desperate need of a PR gal like me.

[notpaidenough]

That's because I wasn't there yet. Duh.

-she looks him up and down-

You're skinnier on TV.

[tricksterofasgard]

Then you must be quite the enrichment for that headspace you occupy now.

[ And that last part? Just earns her a lightly raised brow. ]

Well. What is it they have in mind for you? You are a friend of Jane...

[ ...and Thor. But he doesn't point that bit out. ]

[notpaidenough]

Yes I am.

-guess who's extremely proud of that? Both of enriching headspaces and being a friend of Jane-

She's one of my best friends and I'm pretty sure she counts me as her best friend. Except not science-y, but I think science-y people need people like me to remember to do human things.

[tricksterofasgard]

Human things... You mean such as attracting the attention of fairly peculiar men?

[ And he is not talking about Thor - Again. But he is curious... ]

[notpaidenough]

-she looks at him-

Are you seriously fishing for info on Jane? What the hell did she do when she was in Asgard?

-lady clothes, showering, Asgard trip, what next?-

[tricksterofasgard]

Well, yes. I am. But for reasons unrelated to her visiting of Asgard. We happen to share a living arrangement in the place I have been sent to and our dear Jane has gotten herself an... Admirer. To put it mildly.

[notpaidenough]

An admirer? And who's this admirer? Gotta pass through the Darcy screening.

[tricksterofasgard]

[ She gets a chuckle in response. ]

You must mistake me for someone who easily gives away information.

[notpaidenough]

Oh my god, is it you?

[tricksterofasgard]

Wha--

...no!

[notpaidenough]

Ah!

-she points at him-

Hesitated!

[tricksterofasgard]

[ He scowls. ]

You have it wrong.

The man is mortal. And just as much a science enthusiast as she is.

[ And crazy. Somewhat... ]

[notpaidenough]

Sure.

-she doesn't believe him. If anything, she's got a smug look on her face-

[tricksterofasgard]

[ His scowl shifts into a frown. ]

Sure.

[ Flatly. ]

He has an odd fixation on fairies and seems to have several additional joints as compared to the regular mortal.

[ Pause. ]

...but I take it that Jane has a habit of drawing strange people to her person.

[ He is looking at you now, miss. ]

[notpaidenough]

Fairies? Whoa, dude, I'm gonna need a crash course in care of magical creatures bridge we go any further. They're not like killer fairies like those Elves, are they?

[tricksterofasgard]

I doubt that any elf will take lightly to be called a fairy.

As for the fairies of Nautilus... They have not yet attempted to take any lives as far as I am aware.

[notpaidenough]

But that's not the important thing here. Come on, you've got to show me a picture of this dude or something.

/threadjack?

[girlfriend_beyond]

[Dana's giggling.]

He's actually telling the truth.

[Aaand sobering somewhat.]

But the actual guy might not pass your inspection. He told Jane that he loved her, and when she turned him down, he set himself on fire.

[notpaidenough]

Seriously, guy?

-she wrinkles her nose at that-

Okay, that's in the definitely no column.

[girlfriend_beyond]

Yeah, we made it clear that that wasn't acceptable. I think I might've scared him, in fact.

[notpaidenough]

See? This is what I'm saying. Jane always needs someone to look after her sciencey brain.

[bifroster]

[Oh god.]

It's messy and complicated with Crocker.

And I can confirm that no, Loki is not interested in me like that.

[notpaidenough]

-mouths- Why not? Not as creepy.

[bifroster]

Crocker has since apologized and is working on his issues. So we're friends again. Though I'm still gonna keep an eye out for creepy behavior.

[She shrugs.]

And he just isn't.

[notpaidenough]

Okay.

-in that way that tells Jane exactly what her assistant thinks of the entire situation-
