Twelfth Trick: Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

[The NV clicks on suddenly, picture sideways, a bit of ice melting on one corner of the screen (likely what knocked the device over and turned it on). The porch of the HoA and the lawn beyond it are recognizable.

As is the owner of the NV, standing on the lawn in the midst of snow drifts and a handful of large, blue skinned humanoids that are subsequently attempting to kill him.

Loki is clad in green leather.

And a gold horned helmet, which he is currently using as a weapon, running towards one of the blue skinned creatures with a hearty battle cry, goring the forst giant in his midsection. Swirls of ice, of green magic and a miniature army of garden gnomes dressed as the various Avengers are a perfect picture of chaos doing battle. The surroundings somehow remain in tact.]

I will defend the Port from ALL the frost giants! [He crows as the frost giant falls, body smashing to ice as it hits the ground. Loki's smile is wide, pupils dilated, cheeks flushed]

Pickles! They will sing your praises in Valhalla and the Hall of the Dead! I will do all of the cocaine!

[A gnome dressed as- well, it looks like Robin Hood, but it's really Fandral, moves to the NV and wags a finger at it before turning it off.]

[And she does. As much as she hates fighting, she's comforted by the fact that these are just creations of Loki's, training dummies, nothing more. They're not real beings with feelings and minds —although given Loki's powers, they might be? Shhh, don't tell her these things.]

[Her strategic planning skills kick in and she starts laying bright white trails of kidou through the grass, which will trip up and bind the giants' feet in place when they cross them.]

Aha! You are good! Try this! [The giants skin freezes the grass, turning it to ice in a rapid tidal wave of ice lurching towards her.

Meanwhile, Loki does his slaying at a distance for now, knives and magic, when the giants do touch him, he does not freeze, but everything else does at their touch.]

[Hinamori's brow wrinkles in concentration as she quickly backpedals into the air, away from the ice. Ice. She has a counter for that. She sweeps her sword in front of her and lets a fireball fly from the tip of her blade towards the grass.]

[No more ice there for a while. But she may have just created a smoldering crater in your lawn.]

[Crater? No problem, he will smooth it over later. For now, he's gleefully applauding]

What else have you mastered?

Re: [Action!]

I stick—[There goes a frost giant's head]—to using Tobiume—my sword—and kidou—my magic—mostly. But I am also trained in Hakuda, which is a kind of martial arts. I prefer kidou—it has the most potential—[and there goes another one]—for creativity.

[All this is said rather breathlessly, as she throws herself into systematically slicing through the heads of the nearest frost giants. Battle experience has taught her that things are less likely to come back and bite you if they no longer have a head.]
