Video: Fifth Trick

[doeswhathewants]

[The video kicks on and Loki is sitting cross legged on a roof, view of buildings in the background behind him, the NV is propped up so the view is at an angle. The hood of his zip front sweatshirt pulled over his face, casting a shadow. Green eyes fairly glow from under the shade of that hood. He's smiling and it's just a bit sharp, a bit smug as he carefully plucks up and eats a blue M&M from a bowl of entirely blue M&M's, a can of Redbull held loosely in his right hand.]

Blizzard.

Rather inconvenient. [The smile grows more sly.] For some people, anyway.

For others, well, perhaps it is better that some of us are on the straight and narrow. [A grinning pause] Mostly.

[He pops another blue M&M into his mouth, chewing silently while he considers]

Boring, boring, boring. The walls are closing in. You know what happens then? Some real fun. Not yet, but soon. You'll know when it starts.

Those people being?

[doeswhathewants]

I'm sure I will give you a list if I'm ever caught doing anything truly naughty.

[ergomaniac]

Frankly, even their testimony would not be sufficient, so far as I am concerned.

[doeswhathewants]

Did I mention I changed all the city's water to mead for a day?

[ergomaniac]

Provide proof of this.

[doeswhathewants]

Are you sure you want proof?

[He will attempt to hit you with one of those divine 'everything I touch turns into mead' sorts of deals.]

[ergomaniac]

I am.

[doeswhathewants]

I do so hope you like mead, and have a high tolerance.

[Raises a single finger, green light limning the tip in a sickly green glow. He traces out a few sharp strokes, thurisaz, nauthiz, and isa. The shapes linger in the air, then wink out. Really, that had nothing to do with the spell he's attempting, it's just a lights show for the mortal. The true spell is silent and more easily crafted, a thought, no gesture, no spoken words and then he sends it.]

[ergomaniac]

[Edgeworth watches this process with an eyebrow cocked and wonders if he's supposed to be impressed.]

...Quite. Is that all?

[doeswhathewants]

[Half shrug]

Try drinking something.

[ergomaniac]

[He shakes his head, but then hesitates when he lifts his cup of tea. His nose wrinkles - and then he frowns and sets it down hard.]

That was perfectly good pu-erh!

[doeswhathewants]

You wanted proof.

[Snaps his fingers and leans back against the wall behind him.] And I had your permission so it was quite legal.

[ergomaniac]

You -

[A perfectly good cup of tea. Low, Loki. Very low.]

Hmph. Regardless, that does not prove godhood!

[doeswhathewants]

Hope you don't need to shower. Or drink anything aside mead.

[Crosses his arms and looks a tick petulant.]

[ergomaniac]

[He scowls and stumps over to his faucet and turns it on. Then:]

Undo that.

[doeswhathewants]

I think you need to experience the displeasure of a god for a while.

[Smiles innocently.]

[ergomaniac]

By which you mean a common child with an unusual power.

[doeswhathewants]

I will be sure to put you on the list for next city-wide prank.

[Steeples his fingers, eyes narrowing] I'm sure you will enjoy it.

[ergomaniac]

Rest assured, I will instead put a stop to it before you can do any damage. I've no desire to take on more work.

[doeswhathewants]

How do you intend to do that?

[ergomaniac]

It quite depends upon what your "prank" will be.

[doeswhathewants]

That remains to be soon. I do not intend to spoil it.

[ergomaniac]

Well, I do.

[doeswhathewants]

It will be quite interesting to watch you try, at least.

[ergomaniac]

Glad to be of interest to you. Now restore my water.
