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.

Comments

I hope action is alright!

[that_is_asecret]

[He is at the top of one of the buildings looking down at the scene below with amusement. He forgot how much he missed some of the more usual mortal behaviours.]

My my, Mr. Loki , you certainly do seem to be enjoying yourself.

Always ^_~

[doeswhathewants]

[He hears the voice and looks up, still grinning]

What is there not to enjoy? A bit of amusement and doing the fair island a favor by reigning in this lot.

...mostly.

[that_is_asecret]

[He leaps down and lands perfectly fine and walks over casually, not really bothered about the vikings at all, though he is getting a couple of glares]

Though you seem to have done quite well for yourself in addition.

[Which he finds quite amusing. It reminded him of Miss Lina. Doing a the world a favour by killing a bunch of bandits, then stealing their treasure]

Voice

[magnetic_magpie]

[Laughing.]

Well. I'm glad you are enjoying yourself.

[Video]

[summing_it_up]

[That all sounds vaguely familiar to him, even if it isn't the Viking material he knows personally. But the whole setup and its damages displayed in the feed's background remind him of home. Somewhat.]

Yyyeah. Good times all around!

[doeswhathewants]

Spoils of war. [He cants his head, giving a narrow eyed look and a faint smile]

Though I do wonder where they found the sacrificial ram.

Re: Voice

[doeswhathewants]

While doing a service for the city.

Think of the damages a marauding party of Vikings would cause. Horror. Horror.

Re: [Video]

[doeswhathewants]

Your sort of party?

[A tip of the head and a very faint smile]

Tasted first blood and ready to play with the warriors?

[Video]

[summing_it_up]

Eh, more or less. More likely the lesser, but...

[He glances away for some reason, pursing his lips briefly.]

...To be honest, Iii don't think I got to that level just yet.

[that_is_asecret]

Of course.

I'd imagine in the butcher shop, or possibly they ventured to one of the farms.

[doeswhathewants]

They are quite resourceful.

Are you not enjoying the amusement? Truly, I am considering stealing the idea for use back home.

Re: [Video]

[doeswhathewants]

Don't think? Either you have or you have not.

I should hope you remembered something that important.

[un_fated]

"Just a kid." Hn.

[doeswhathewants]

Oh.

I lied.

[allucinator]

What're you gonna do with them?

[un_fated]

Oh.

Really?

[doeswhathewants]

I intend to get them positively drunk.

[Tips head and narrows eyes thoughtfully]

Or perhaps a bit more pillaging first.

[doeswhathewants]

Technically it was not entirely a lie. I did not know for sure at the time.

[un_fated]

Coward's way out, painting safety in words.

Did you lie to Youko too?

[that_is_asecret]

I am enjoying the amusement.

[He is curious]

Which part of it?

[doeswhathewants]

No.

Youko knows all.

[Frowns]

Did you just question my bravery? In front of a band of vikings? Who are- coincidentally- worshiping me?

[doeswhathewants]

Animating a museum.

There is one in the City of New York with a splendid few floors dedicated to human arms and armory.

voice;

[motioned]

What happened to the windows?

[un_fated]

Youko calls you "just a kid."

Makes you happy, does it? Being worshipped.

Re: voice;

[doeswhathewants]

Vikings.

Obviously. Give them a faðmr and they'll take a rôst.
