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.

Sure you are. I bet there's an eighteen wheeler's worth of power in all of that... what are you, five feet?

[He's totally just teasing you now, Loki.]

Nah, I'm just saying that spotting nutjobs ain't exactly difficult here.

[doeswhathewants]

...yes. Something like that. [He's rolling his eyes at you]

Oh. Well, I suppose some are quite obvious. The clown the ones running around in masks...

[underdogged]

You're such a little brat.

[Again, there's no malice in that statement. He actually kind of likes the kid.

Kaiji tilts his head.]

Not to mention the teenage boys with invisible dogs...

[doeswhathewants]

I know. [And there's a little grin because he is a brat, and he likes you.]

She isn't invisible- one can see her collar and mohawk. I should think that counts for something.

[underdogged]

Are you seriously trying to tell me that an invisible dog with a pink mohawk is less weird than a regular invisible dog?

[doeswhathewants]

[Without even a moment to consider] Of course.

[underdogged]

[hand meet forehead]

Silly me. Of course you'd say that.

[doeswhathewants]

Ah, and I should defer to your vast experience with invisible hounds from hell? [He might just be smirking.]
