((things I meant to do last year but never got around to))

Loki is keeping a close eye on his four children, because Halloween parties have been known to get out of hand in the Nexus. Indeed, if the path they were already treading hadn't led them directly into the center of this one, he might have dodged it, but they were already out and about, and once they were headed toward the celebration, he couldn't have said no even if he wanted to.

All five of them have come out dressed up as Captain America, though each of the children has a slight variation in the costume. Una's features a sparkly rainbow tutu over the uniform, Sigrid's has an elegant scarlet Aesir-style cape, Agnarr's is half forest-ranger, half-soldier, with what appears to be a quiver of faux arrows and a very real bow, and Eindrid's has, inexplicably, a set of teddy bear ears and a fluffy tail. Whether the venue sees fit to leave them in their choice of outfits the whole time or not, the intent to troll is pretty clear.

The blood spattered on their host is unnerving and prompts a moment of uncertain staring from the kids, but the smile she(?) gives them is reassuring. Loki studies her, then bows, "Everyone is powerful here, and everyone is vulnerable. Thank you for your hospitality."

The children echo the bow and murmur or sign their thanks, before the entire entourage enters the carnival.
