[Have a possibly familiar face- although for those who haven't seen this particular Loki before, his face is marked with a scar under his left eye, looking rather like a 7. If he looks a little grim, try not to worry about it too much.]
For those of you who have miraculously escaped any knowledge of any iteration of me, my name is Loki, Norse god of any number of things. Also, apparently, head chef of this journey to nowhere- for now.
[He waves at the camera, getting a little more into character, smiling crookedly, sounding off-hand. And yes... Loki does like the sound of his own voice. Particularly when he's grouchy and a little concerned.]
For a number of reasons- including safety in numbers, it being much warmer in here with the ovens on, the fact the captains see it fit to keep sending kitchen staff to me who think penne is a mispelt item of coinage, and if I'm counting right it was my birthday yesterday- if you want to come down to the kitchens, I'll be here all day. If you want to attempt to learn a little baking, I intend to make myself a cake and perhaps teach a few other people in the process.
[He shrugs, one eyebrow up, indicates the kitchen behind him.]
There'll also be coffee on almost constantly, so you're welcome to that, too. I do make very good coffee- although really, you owe master Kaplan for this one.
[He pans the camera to a pile of boxes on a counter, tone turning mildly irritated.]
-Ah, and if you have any idea what groats are, past an ancient term for currency no longer in use, you can come collect them as soon as you can.

Which probably makes what he zeroes in on strange.]
What is coffee, anyway?
no subject
The roasted beans of the Coffea plant, in this particular case mostly Coffea Arabica, brewed with hot water in a startlingly arcane alchemical ritual. Add milk and sugar to taste.
[Don't ask Loki to explain things, seriously. The urge to troll is strong.]

Is it good? Humans bring it up often enough, I guess it would have to be...
[There had to be something to it. He'd never asked about it despite the frequency that it came up on both the Moira and the Neheda. It even seemed to be a commonality between humans who had come from different times, worlds and dimensions. As ubiquitous as their obsession with cats.]

Depends on a number of factors. In this case, it's more that it's hot and wet and caffeinated than anything else- and that it does smell much better than falling apart ship.
[It's honestly more for the morale bump and the chance of gathering people somewhere relatively together for safety than anything else, but Loki's not actually willing to admit that. He doesn't do helpful, okay.]
