Because the captchas suck.
From here
I'm putting a reminder in my calendar now
[Loki had enough presence of mind to disable the wards protecting his new home before Wanda got there. When she finds him in his bedroom he's simply laying on top of his perfectly made bed, still fully clothed shoes and all. He's staring straight up at the ceiling, his irises completely eclipsed by his pupils.]
Good evening, Wanda. Do be careful of the plant.
[He gestures to a completely normal houseplant by the door to the bedroom.]

Good evening, Loki...
[ She’s more sober now than when they initially started texting. Her eyes drift to the plant and she...waves at it, more to appease Loki than anything.
With a wave of her hand, she uses her powers to set the food down nearby and moves to sit on the edge of his bed. ]
Th plant is a new addition. Congratulations. [ Somehwat serious and somewhat playful because she’s still buzzed.]
What are you staring at?

Cat-head Thor.
[He doesn't seem to notice the food floating by, but does moves his foot to touch her]
Is that you or another walking eyeball?

It's me.
[Not offended by the question, but she is a bit concerned for his sheets.]
Are you planning to go anywhere else? Should take off your shoes.
[And now she leans back to look up at the ceiling. Granted, she can't see the same thing, but the popcorn ceiling does create some interesting shapes.]
I see a cat, but not Thor.

The bed ate my shoes.
[Loki shifts his vision down from the ceiling to look at her. His eyebrows furrow a bit]
Oh, I can't wait for this trip to be over. Your hair is flaming, dear.

..Uh-huh.
[Well, she would aide him in taking off his shoes, but she'll let him think his shoes have been eaten. Far more entertaining.]
How long should they last?
[She asks as she sinks down into the bed, laying down next to him, making sure to pull her hair back so the 'flames' don't touch him.]
I brought Chinese food for us, when you're ready.

Is there anything I can just hold? Not sure I can use utensils at the moment.
[He watches as she moves to lay down and reaches a hand out to touch her arm. It seems that the touch helps to anchor him to the real world just a little bit better.
He does appreciate that she is careful to not let the flames burn him. He worries momentarily for the bed, but reasons that if it actually catches fire she would say something about it.]
The man I got it from said it would last about 2 hours. What time is it now?

You're lucky I thought about getting soup.
[Hot and sour, something with a kick because that's what she was craving it...and wanton strips.
His touch is welcomed, and she doesn't want to get up. Instead...she cheats, concentrating on her magic to have a cup of soup come to them. The steam wafting in the air.]
It's nearing midnight....and the soup is in front of you. You'll want to sit up slowly.

About 20 more minutes then.
[Loki sits up probably too slowly, but he does eventually get into a sitting potition. He looks down at the bed and at his legs]
Huh. Legs.
[He takes the cup of soups gently in his hands and begins sipping. The spice feels very good.]

[There's a soft chuckle.] So you were at the party when you took it and managed to get home? That's impressive.
[..More chuckling. Oh this is quite entertaining, but, she does sit up with him.]
There's wonton strips too, if you want something with a different texture.

When I go to these things I set up an emergency teleport linked to the condo.
[He gestures to the bedside table where a gold amulet rests]
One does not want to try to calibrate a teleportation when drunk. Or high, in this case.
[He takes a long sip of soup]
Perhaps later. My brain is currently recognizing the soup as actually soup, I don't want to potentially ruin that.

I should've known you'd have contingencies in place. You always have a plan.
[Something she should look into, really. A plan for if or when something bad happens...losing people, or just..feeling the need to get away.]
Take your time. I didn't know how much to get, so I asked for a large. More than enough for two people.
[Her eyes drift back to the ceiling.]
...Okay, I think I see the cat-head Thor now.

((Please tell me you've actually seen cat head Thor because it is a thing of beauty))
You are a blessing, Ms. Maximoff.
[Loki looks up at the ceiling again while taking a looooong sip of soup.]
Yes, he's been trying to have a staring contest with me.

[ooc:.....omg I have never and it is beautiful.]
I think you're one of the few people who think that of me.
[Which is both sad, and amusing in her state.]
Has he? Have you tried giving him treats? He might gain your trust and then you could pet his fur.
[...maybe she should adopt a kitten soon. Something small and sweet to take care of...and soft fur to pet.]

[...maybe she should adopt a kitten soon. Something small and sweet to take care of...and soft fur to pet.]
Yes, I do have better taste than most.
[Loki thinks for a minute]
Do you think he'd like the wontons?
[Loki thinks for a minute]
Do you think he'd like the wontons?
[And that makes her start to laugh. Not at him, but he does have a damn good point.]
Indeed, you do! Taste, style, all of the above.
[...well that is a damn good question.]
...I don't know if cats should have wontons.

[This is one of the reasons he likes Wanda. She's very good at flattering him. That and she's a very bright young woman who plays along with his drugged out hallucinations.]
But this is not a cat. It's cat-head Thor. Thor likes wontons.

[It comes easily...and it's sincere. He has treated her thus far with respect, and kindness. Not with kid gloves or anything.]
But that makes him part of a cat. Do you want him throwing up on your bed? I'd want to avoid that.
Feeling better?

Hm, you are correct. That would be a lot of cat vomit.
[He looks around the room carefully, seemigly taking inventory of things Wanda can not see.]
Well, my legs are back and the plant has stopped making rude gestures. I think it's coming to an end.
Your hair is still made of fire though. Are you sure that isn't actually happening?

[Wanda moved to sit back up, mindful of what she was leaning against, and putting her hair off to the side.
Her eyes move to the plant, wondering what sort of rude gesture it was making...and Loki's legs are back. Good.]
You might need another ten minutes then. My hair is not on fire, only red....well, more auburn, I suppose. Whatever they call it.
[She checks it for a moment but shrugs.]
Nothing else is on fire.

I did trust that if things were actually on fire you would have said something about it.
[Though it's funny, her hair is on fire, but not giving off any heat.]
I am very grateful you came over.
[He would have gotten through it okay, this wasn't the first bad trip he'd ever been on, but it was easier with another person there.]

True. I wouldn't leave you in a burning building.
[Maybe a flooding one because...no wait, her thought got away from her there. Oh well.
She looks pensive for a moment, thinking things over...and reaches out to place her hand on his.]
Thank you for inviting me...I needed tonight.
[Something different from her every day life. Something that was a great distraction to things...and it's better than sitting in her room alone.]

That's why you are the hero.
[He flips his hand over and gives hers a gentle squeeze. Once more the physical contact seems to ground him, helping the hallucinations seem less real.]
You know you don't have to wait for me to take dubious drugs to come over. If you want company you need only ask.

[There's a light scoff from her. Could a witch be a hero? Yes...and no. But, she doesn't feel up to holding that title today.]
I think, that's why we're friends. I'd expect you to do the same if the roles were reversed.
[A gentle squeeze of his hand to confirm that. An odd sort of friendship, but it works for them.]
I'll keep that in mind, but, if you want me over anytime, you can say so.

If you ever get high on weird alien drugs I will sit with you and tell you if the things you are seeing are real or not.
[He finishes off the soup and lays back down.]
Ah, cat-head Thor is gone. That's definitely good.
