Ninth Trick: Permavideo (earlier in the day~)

[doeswhathewants]

[The NV feed shows Loki in profile, backlit by a bonfire in the middle of a street in Sector 3. Focus shifts in as an impromptu altar set before the bonfire, carved with runes and decorated with a slaughtered ram comes into view.

Vikings loiter around the fire with piles of suspiciously modern goods, hoisting drinking horns and distributing wares, singing traditional songs of praise for battles won and companions lost in heroic sacrifice- no flyting, not with Loki around to best them all. Behind the whole scene are a few storefronts with suspiciously smashed windows.

Loki turns to the NV and his grin is all even white teeth, predatory]

To whom it may concern, I've contained the Vikings.

[He raises his own drinking horn at them and calls out] Mein Skol, Dein Skol, Alle Vakkera Flikka Skol! [They raise their own horns and call a hearty response before drinking.

Loki throws back his head laughing and drinks from his own horn, eyes glowing the green of bale fires.]

I'd forgotten how fun mortals were.

Oh no, boring isn't a word I'd use for Phibrizzo.

[doeswhathewants]

Such a mouthful of a name, I cannot remember having spoken to one called that.

[that_is_asecret]

He can be a bit shy at times. He is quite gifted with necromancy actually.

[doeswhathewants]

...is he?

[Because that Dr. Orpheus was quite unwilling to play.]

And would you say he enjoys a bit of fun?

[that_is_asecret]

He is.

[Oh he is willing to play, most just aren't fond of his games]

He does enjoy a bit of fun. You'd have to convince him to go out though.

[doeswhathewants]

He prefers to stay in? Mm. I shall attempt to engage him in something interesting.

[Zombies, if he's up for it.]

[that_is_asecret]

He does enjoy interesting a great deal. We both live at the Uzushio if you feel like calling upon him at times.

[doeswhathewants]

Where is that?

[that_is_asecret]

[He pulls out a business card and throws it, it swirls around a little and lands perfectly on his nose]

That should help you.

[doeswhathewants]

That was...[Plucks up the business card] Weird. Okay.

[that_is_asecret]

Well, I'm off to investigate what other possibilities are to be had in the city. Enjoy your party!

[He waves and then he disappears]
