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.

Consider yourself the life of the party for tonight.

[ergomaniac]

Restore it or I shall not shrink from pressing charges.

[doeswhathewants]

You cannot press charges, I warned you and you accepted. That is a contract.

[ergomaniac]

Mr. Loki, I am an attorney. Do not attempt to tell me what is or is not a contract.

[doeswhathewants]

And I am a god. I know when someone has made a contract with me. I asked, you agreed.

Deal. Done.

[ergomaniac]

If it had been in writing, it would have been a contract - if, and only if, illegal activity had not been involved. When the fulfillment of a contract involves the breaking of a law, the contract is not valid.

[doeswhathewants]

Nothing about it was illegal. I told you what I intended to do.

Verbal contract. Those are binding with gods, you know.

[ergomaniac]

[His patience is running quite thin:]

There is no such thing as a god!

[doeswhathewants]

[He likes getting people riled, seeing the cool lose their calm as he remains utterly placid and innocent looking.]

Oh? Then you do not believe I can take the spell off.

[ergomaniac]

[He struggles to rein in his temper.]

I do. I believe that you, like everyone else in this city, have a power. That doesn't make you a god; it does make you able to undo this idiocy.

[doeswhathewants]

[Drums his fingers on his thigh]

Nope.

[ergomaniac]

That wasn't a question.

[doeswhathewants]

Oh. Okay. Then it needs no answer.

[ergomaniac]

No answer, perhaps, but a response. Undo what you've done.

[doeswhathewants]

My point has not been proven.

[ergomaniac]

Your point never will be proven.

[doeswhathewants]

I don't know why you should think I would lie.

[Rolls his eyes and wriggles his fingers at the NV] There. Undone. I do so hope you appreciate it.
