[ when the feed opens up, it is to a small black cat with heterochromia (one eye brown, the other a bright gold). depending on where you live, he might even be a familiar black cat. ]

Hey. [ oh and he talks. ] Figured I should get this out of the way, since I'm.. here, I guess, for the time being. [ an ear flicks, and he settles, getting comfortable and crossing his paws. ] Anyway, I'm Alex, and I got here.. recently. [ alex fierro: he of the frustratingly vague and casually suspicious nature. ] Norse demigod here, so if one of you Asgardian lot feels some strange seidr on the air or whatever, hi, that's me.

[ he blinks mildly, head tilting as he considers the video feed. what else, what else.. oh! ]

Despite all evidence to the contrary, I'm not always a cat. .. Sometimes I'm a flamingo. Or a dragon. Also I'm genderfluid, so don't be a dick about it and I'll give you my pronouns. [ a significant pause. ] They're he/him today if you're wondering. That's it, thanks.

Show me yours and I’ll show you mine.

[Shapeshifting god types. Yeah, he’s intrigued.]

Don’t like humans?

What is it you’re planning to show me?

I like humans fine. Mostly.

My face.

Same. Usually.

Uh-huh.

[ still, a few seconds later, the camera turns on. alex makes a ta-da gesture, brows arching. he’s in a pink sweater with “FUCK!” in gold sequins, and his hair is a mass of green curls with shaved sides. ]

Hey.

[Well, he was cute. Real cute. He liked the pink sweater too. And the hair. Kinda wanted to mess it up. He flicks on the camera and smiles, a half smirk.

But - ]

Before I kick this flirtation up, how old are you?

[ he looks startled for a second there, but then sits back a little, lifting his chin. ]

Eighteen next month. Also dead, by the way.

[Twelve years difference. Hmm. Hmmm.]

Dead? So what does that mean, exactly. Is this one of those body is eighteen but technically super old norse god things? If so, then you're cute. If not, and you're underage. I never said that.

It means I’m dead, that’s it. It’s weird for some people. [ a slightly suspicious pause, then: ] Thanks, but I’m not just cute, I’m fucking gorgeous.

[He doesn't care. Dead, alive. It is what it is.]

Well, it's hard to tell through video. But I agree.

You're fucking gorgeous.

[ not the first time he's been complimented by a stranger, but it's admittedly rare from people once they know the whole deal-- demigod, genderfluid. ]

I guess you're not so bad yourself. [ cute. a little forward. ] You make it a habit to compliment randos on alien internet?

Not a habit, but there's a first time for everything. What else is a guy to do when he's bored?

[That's not rhetorical. Tell him, please.]

What, you've never had a hobby? [ the arch of his brows is just a little saucy, maybe. ] There's plenty to do here. What's your job back home?

This place ain't exactly like home. Need time to get a hobby and why figure it out for myself, when someone like you can help. [He winks, head tipped.] Was in the middle of opening my own club.

What makes you think I can help? I'm brand new here, too.

[ still-- ] One of the Lokis here started his own club if you're still interested in doing the same thing.

Two heads are better than one. Right?

No, that's alright. Not interested in going down that path again for a while. [He doesn't love his job here but he's salty about what happened at home with the club.] Was looking for something to do now.

What're you interested in? Other than clubs.

[An eyeroll and a sigh.]

Men. Cute guys with green hair. I mean, gorgeous guys with green hair.

[ he sits back with an arch of a brow, pulling his heel up into the chair. the other tips his chair back onto its back legs. ]

Too bad for you, this gorgeous green-haired guy takes a lot more effort than that.

[Ah, now this he can work with. TJ might be easy but he does like a challenge.]

Who says I'm not willing to give it?

[He flips the angle of his camera feed as he sets it aside, giving Alex a view of TJ stretched out on the floor with his feet propped up on the bed.]

Tell me you're not considering it and I'll leave you alone.

[ honestly, he has a feeling tj will lose interest first, but.. ] I'm saying that maybe I'll give you a chance to make me consider it.

Maybes. Chances. All these whatifs. Alright, pal. [He taps his fingers on his hip before pointing at the camera as if he's just come up with the best idea. He has, btw.] So, give me until next month to earn it. If your birthday rolls around and you're not feeling me, we'll let it go.

Hey, you did this to yourself. I'm a tough cookie.

[ he rocks back and forth a little on his chair legs, considering the option. at last, though, he nods slightly. ]

.. Okay, sounds like a plan.

Well, if I didn't want to do this I wouldn't.

[But what's he got to lose? If anything, they might become friends out of this and TJs got all of one of those back home, counting his twin brother.]

So what's it like being a God?

I'm a demigod. My mother was the god. Because of who he is, I get a lot of shit from other demigods--and gods. My shapeshifting makes it a lot easier for me, though, being genderfluid.
