Tenth Trick: Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

[The NV flicks on, propped up on a table, focused on Loki who sits cross legged on the floor, a baby sling across his chest. The sling is occupied by a lump that is invisible to most, save for a hot pink mohawk and a hot pink collar with a little silver hammer shaped tag dangling from it. The hellhound looks plump and happy to everyone who can see her.]

This- [He speaks with his head bent over the hellhound] -is Thora. Say hello, Thora-

[He helps her wave a faintly pink paw at the NV and she tries to nip his fingers in retaliation]

She's kind of the best hellhound ever. [In that condescending way only thirteen year old boys are capable of. And then suddenly serious, green fire in his eyes] And if anyone were to harm her, I would put their insides onto their outsides and join her in having a nibble. Just saying.

[And then that jovial demeanor returns again.] I've been learning much about the mortal world thanks to Google- the browser of webs. But so much information conflicts. I wish to know more. Midgard and humans are so different than what I always thought.

Huh? But how is the rest of her like?

[doeswhathewants]

Four legs. Two years. All of that. A little bitey but she won't draw blood.

Ah I would describe further, but it might melt your ears.

[reginagloriae]

F-Four legs?

[doeswhathewants]

Ah, dog, Youko. They tend to have four legs.

...unless they have more or less in Japan? I saw this cartoon with a cat bus, once....

[reginagloriae]

I know that. I just thought it'll have more than two pair of them.

[doeswhathewants]

Ah! Well, no. This is quite a dog-looking hound of hell. I think she likes you, she can smell you around the apartment and does not attempt to pee or chew on where you have been.

[reginagloriae]

C...Can I ask you to keep her on your room?

[doeswhathewants]

Are you afraid of her, Youko? She doesn't bite. She's really a good dog.

I'm a little wary. Ahh, you remember how I fought those monsters in the Darkness, huh? Sometimes my body just reacts automatically and beyond my control.

That's why I'm asking you to keep her from my room.

[doeswhathewants]

Oh! I understand. I shall keep her in my room, then.

But, I think you ought to spend a little supervised time with her sometimes, just so your- ah- body gets used to her.

Thanks...

If you're around. I don't mind, but no surprises.

Then it is a plan!
