Seventh Trick: Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

[The feed turns on and Loki is drinking a Red Bull while he looks down at the NV, can in one hand, the device obviously in his other hand.]

Today is the same day as yesterday. This leads me to two very pertinent questions:

[He releases the NV to hold up one finger and the device floats up slightly level with his face] First question: Do the natives know about this?

[A second finger is peeled off his closed fist to join the first, two fingers held up] Second question: What is the probability of this happening tomorrow?

[The NV pans back slightly and Loki is standing in front of a jewelry store with a rather magnificent scepter and crown displayed. This does not bode well for our juvenile hero's moral choice system.]

You already...

[reginagloriae]

Aren't you scared of the police?

[doeswhathewants]

Make what?

Tch. Midgardians.

When I was a child, we went out on our own and killed things to bring back to display the carcass of, then eat while we bragged about how many trolls we had to fight in order to keep and claim our prize.

[doeswhathewants]

Which is why I am waiting to see if the day repeats itself tomorrow.

...mostly.

[doeswhathewants]

Why should I joke? It sounds fun. [He's grinning because it does sound fun and magic and mischief are so much better when others are playing along.]

[the_dead_pool2]

Depends on the set, they are all interchangeable so whatever you want ultimately.

[He shrugs]

Cool story, bro.

[doeswhathewants]

I got bored. [Purses his mouth]

No?

[doeswhathewants]

Brotip- if you're ever in a fight with Thor, ask him about Surtur's sword. While he's retelling the highly embellished story, you can slip away. He won't even notice.

Make anything you want. And they are called Legos, you say?

[the_dead_pool2]

I'll keep that in mind. Me and Thunderpants don't tend to get into many tiffs, but I'll give that a try should it happen.

Yep, circle gets the square.

[paterelohim]

Alllll the answers you seek. 42.

[reginagloriae]

Huh. Not even a little? It must be something to live outside the norms and rules.

[doeswhathewants]

Considering the questions, that makes absolutely no sense at all.

[doeswhathewants]

Why live within them? That's so structured and boring. Besides, I'm not human.

[doeswhathewants]

Thunderpants. I like that. Stealing it.

I do hope I remember all of these inspirations on returning home.

[reginagloriae]

Laws are necessary, besides people will heat you if you go too far.

[doeswhathewants]

Ah, Youko, I do not intend to go too far. Besides, back home, everyone hates me anyway. Only my brother cares for me at all.

[reginagloriae]

This isn't home. We care for you. That's why... that's why we don't want you to ruin this chance.

permavideo to action- hope you're not naked, Youko

[doeswhathewants]

[A long pause and then Loki is physically in front of her, throwing his arms around her and just hugging because literally, no one has ever said anything like that to him. Ever.]

lawl no

[reginagloriae]

[Youko was embarrassed that she said that. First, she had thought it would be easier for her to be around him if he wasn't so obvious on his felonies and pranks. What would people think about her by her association with him? But... she had come to worry for him. The exact isolation he felt, she too understood it. She had avoided it by being a good girl.

If he acted the same, he wouldn't be hated. He wasn't a bad person to be hated so much. He brought it to himself, but it wasn't fair.

It wasn't fair. She knew that.

That was the mixture of emotions she felt. The good and the bad swirling within her when she waited for an answer that didn't come.

Instead, he appeared out of blue and gave her a hug. Her eyes widdene in confusion.]

Huh? Serrure-kun?

Re: lawl no

[doeswhathewants]

....nothing. [But he still had not let go of her.

Not even Thor had said something like that to him. Not in either of the past lifetimes he remembered.

And maybe he didn't want to leave this place. Maybe it was selfish that he didn't want his friends to leave either.

Friends. He had friends.

This feeling, he supposed, was why people could become heroes.]

[reginagloriae]

[Youko didn't know how to have friends. She had 'friends' in school and she believes that was friendship, but it was different with Loki.

She had looked after him as if he was a family member, enough even to overlook his obvious strangeness. She felt comforted and more relaxed because he wasn't scrutinizing her all the time.

Slowly, Youko began to pat his back and head.]

L...Looks like it's something.

[the_dead_pool2]

You are far more likely to see Thor then I am feel free.

[He shrugs]

Who knows, wackier things have happened in our world.

[Voice]

[boundbytreason]

[ Once Caster came across Youko's heartfelt words -- how it wasn't home and how they cared for him -- saying anything more felt only paltry. Instead, she chimed in her agreement: ]

What Miss Nakajima says is my thoughts exactly, Serrure. So, you need to be careful with your decisions.

And if you're bored...well, it's still winter. Have you had a chance to go sledding yet?

[doeswhathewants]

Or not. It's tempting to stay here.

This place is so much fun and once the Core is fixed, well... I do wonder what the rest of the world is like.

[doeswhathewants]

[His face is buried in your chest, just FYI, but he mutters out-]

That was just really... no one has ever said that to me before.
