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.

I don't think that's a very good idea. Those things died for a reason, you know.

I would keep the casualties to zero. It would be for fun, after all.

Sorry, this is my skeptical face.

Re: video

That is an odd expression. But I speak the truth! Everything would be done quite carefully.

Too much mischief might be tempting fate -- did you ever think of that?

Re: video

[doeswhathewants]

No.

That fate is extinguished.

[harriedosborn]

If you say so.

Re: video

[doeswhathewants]

I say so.

Trust me. I usually know what I am doing.

[ Sighs. ]

Okay, fine. I'll trust you. You know more about this place than I do.
