Ninth Trick: Permavideo (earlier in the day~)

[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.

[He scowls irritably.]

Yeah, well, it's stupid. I hate shit like that, destinies and-- and fate, and not bein' able to be anythin' but what somethin' tells you you are.

[He pushes his fingers through his hair.]

Anyway. You aren't there. And you can be anythin' you want to be. Good or bad.
allucinator: (talking: ah not this shit again)

Maybe he will. Me best friend came here once. It ain't impossible.

[A beat. He's still obviously irritated, as he pushes his fingers through his hair and scowls at nothing.]

Tell me about him. Your brother.
allucinator: (talking: intrigued)

[He ignores that first question in favor of focusing on Loki's story.]

He sounds pretty brilliant. What's his name again?
allucinator: (talking: intrigued)

How can it be his day?
allucinator: (talking: unimpressed)

SHIT SORRY I thought I'd replied to this.

[A beat. He makes a face.]

So who do the other days belong do?
allucinator: (talking: enthusiastic)

[personal profile] allucinator 2012-03-01 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Weird, I never-- oye, that probably means we're from the same world! Or near the same, anyway, or maybe that's just translators.
allucinator: (talking: intrigued)

English. What do you normally speak?
