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.]

A riot.

Or a jewel heist.

Oh! Or a giant brawl. I can turn all the guns in the city into marshmallow shooters and see what happens.

I'd down with a giant brawl, its nice to smack around people who aren't darkness monsters now and again. Riots are fun too, essentially the same thing ultimately. Jewel heists aren't really my thing though.

More jewels for me and more fighting for you. I think this would work out.

[the_dead_pool2]

Sounds like a plan, Lokster.

Do they have monster trucks on this island?

PermaVideo

[the_dead_pool2]

They probably do somewhere. You thinking of trying to get a rally together?

Re: PermaVideo

[doeswhathewants]

No. More like driving over other cars in the street.

If all of this will simply be reversed again, why not indulge in a few destructive urges that will remedy themselves?

[the_dead_pool2]

I guess that works, but multiple monster trucks is better then just one.

[doeswhathewants]

Monster truck destruction derby.

In the middle of the road.

[the_dead_pool2]

I am so down for that.

[doeswhathewants]

Custom paint jobs.

It is a good thing you are indestructible.

[the_dead_pool2]

Of course.

[His will totally be a red and black one]

Its not so much indestructible, as self-repairing... like a lego man more so.

[doeswhathewants]

Lego man? Is that some new super?

[the_dead_pool2]

[He sighs]

No, lego is a kids toy. You make things with it and shit.

[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.

[the_dead_pool2]

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

[He shrugs]

Cool story, bro.

[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.

[doeswhathewants]

Thunderpants. I like that. Stealing it.

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

[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.

[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.

[the_dead_pool2]

I'd imagine relatively boring. If the Core likes bringing people with powers, I imagine the natives were the first ones brought in here.

[doeswhathewants]

Why create The Core in the first place if they had no people with powers? Obviously someone had to be super smart to create the thing.
