Guide: On your left is Loki's villa. My next stop is the Pecs and Flex gift shop where you can pick up the Great Hero's 30-minute workout scroll "Buns of Bronze"
[Inside the villa, Loki is posing for a picture on a vase, dressed in the skin of the skeleton Ernesto from @BuckeyeGirl2002's The Madrigal King]
Rocket: At 1:00 you got a meeting with King Harald Bluetooth. He's got a problem with his stables. I'd advise you not to wear your new sandals.
Loki: Rocket?
Artist: I told you, don't move!
Rocket: D.N.R., the Drughters of the Norse Revolution.
Loki: Rocket?
Rocket: At 3:00, you gotta get a girdle from some amazons...
Loki (dropping club and shield) Rocket, what's the point?
[The artist, now furious, gives out a loud yell]
Artist: YAIEEEEE! THAT'S IT!!
Rocket: Keep your toga on, pal.
[Artist throws the paints on Rocket, making him look like a clown and leaves]
Rocket: What do you mean, "what's the point ?" You wanna go to Asgard, don't ya?
Loki: Yeah, but this stuff doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere.
[He throws the skin of Ernesto to Rocket]
Rocket (wiping the paint off his face with it): You can't give up now, I'm counting on ya'.
Loki: I gave this everything I had.
Rocket: Listen to me, kid. I seen 'em all. And I am tellin' you - and this is the honest-to-Odin truth - you got somethin' I never seen before.
Loki: Really?
Rocket: I can feel it right down to these stubby bow legs of mine. There is nothin' you can't do, kid.
[Door opens and fan girls scream]
Fan girls: It's him!
Rocket: Hey, watch it! Watch it! Watch—
Fan girls: I touched his elbow! I got his sweatband!
Loki: Rocket, help!
Rocket: Okay, escape plan beta.
Loki: Gotcha.
[Rocket blows whistle, fan girls look at him for a moment and Loki disappears]
Fan girls: Hey! Where is he?
Rocket: There he goes! On the verranda!
[Girls run away, Rocket too, but when door closes, Maddie appears from behind it, she walks and sees Loki's toes under a curtain]
Maddie: Let's see, what could be behind curtain number one?
Loki: Mads!
Maddie: It's all right. The sea of raging hormones has ebbed.
Loki: Gee, i-i-it's great to see you. I-I-I missed you.
Maddie (dropping on a couch): So, this is what heroes do on their days off.
Loki: I am no hero...
Maddie: Sure you are. Everybody in Norway thinks you're the greatest thing since they put the pocket in pita.
Loki (chuckles): I know. It's-it's crazy you know, I can't go anywhere without being mobbed, I mean—
Maddie: Ah. You sound like you could use a break. Think your nanny trash panda would go berserk if you played hooky this afternoon?
