003: Video

[It's after the night siren and Bruce is looking frazzled, irritated, and... like he forgot that he'd been getting ready to sleep, since he's wearing boxers and glasses and apparently nothing else. As he settles his NV, a pair of mice skitter across the desk he's set it on. There are little movements in the background and Bruce has to stop and hop around, cursing under his breath as something apparently runs over his foot.]

Okay, look, the Darkness thing I'm up on, but is it common for random objects like, say, my pillow to turn into mice?

[Kevin sighs and pries the mouse out of her mouth, dissolving the corpse. She whines and starts looking for another one. DADDY TOOK HER TOY!]

Loki ain't never seen me lose mine.

[Kevin hates using his powers and Loki's forcing him to.]

I'll see 'bout gettin' a cat or somethin'.

[Action]

[hulkbusted]

I don't want to see you lose yours. [But he doesn't make the standard offer of anger management techniques]

I'll take care of the mice. Cats tend to go straight for people who don't want them around and I don't want to do that to you.

[No one on the island has seen him lose his temper. Because it takes a lot for him to do so.]

I'll see if'n I c'n borrow Tolly. She knows better'n to bother me an' she c'n kill the mice.

[Hopefully, Frau won't mind.]

[Action]

[hulkbusted]

If you can trust her, that would be good. I just don't want to see this get any worse. [He knows it's not his fault, but if he weren't living there, Kevin wouldn't be subjected to the mouse invasion.]

[Kevin smiles crookedly.]

Don't worry 'bout it. Loki's jus' a kid. I know who c'n talk t'him.

Re: [Action]

[hulkbusted]

If he's just a kid he needs a Thor-sized time out. Do we have someone who can give him one?

Re: [Action]

[southernreaper]

[No, he absolutely does not gain a wicked grin. He remembers something.]

I might know a couple. I'll see if'n they'll give us a hand.

[Action]

[hulkbusted]

That would make my day.

[Action]

[southernreaper]

Mine too. I'll be downstairs if'n ya need me, Dr. Banner. An' there's plenty o' treats in the fridge an' freezer if'n y'all get hungry.

[hulkbusted]

Okay, thanks again. [He manages not to apologize a third time, but it's a near thing.] In the morning maybe we can open the doors and shoo some of the mice outside.

[Action]

[southernreaper]

If'n we cain't, I'll get Tolly an' traps. I ain't havin' mice get inta the bakin' supplies.

G'night, Dr. Banner. C'mon Mimsy.

[He turns for the door to the garage. He's ready to get to work. Bruce might begin to notice, he spends most of his nights down there.]
