video; un: loki.2

[mistruths]

[ There's a brief beat of nothing before the image focuses on a goat with really big horns that appears to be...eating rubble. It is, in fact, taking large bites out of rocks and chewing it slowly as it stares at the camera (or the person holding the magitech) balefully.

and then the camera switches to Loki, though the goat is still visible in the background. It really is a very, very large goat. like, bear-sized goat. ]

Yes, good job, congratulations, and well done to all of us, I'm sure. And as our efforts to rebuild continue, I would like to point out that someone seems to have misplaced their, ah, pet. If this one is anything at all like the ones I was once familiar with, I would caution any and all who might come across it to take care.

[ As he speaks, the goat has wandered over, and is now trying to take a bite out of Loki's hair. ]

By the Nine.

[ Loki shoves it away, and the goat glares at him again, Loki glaring right back, before it belches out a small plume of fire. Luckily, there's nothing flammable in the immediate vicinity and it goes back to chewing grumpily on more stones. ]

Thor. Odinson. Come retrieve this ridiculous creature before I rend its flesh from its bones and enjoy it for dinner.

[dishearten]

He looks the sort to give you indigestion, just to be spiteful, so I'd advise against that.

( been a long time, Loki! Loki the 2nd? is there any distinction between the two?

Graham, bless him, seems unreasonably charmed by this bear sized goat. someone please give him some taste. )

[ That makes him laugh and he spreads his hands slightly in a shrug. ]

True enough. I certainly wouldn't put it past him, in any case. --You wouldn't care for another companion, would you?

[dishearten]

I am sure I'd enjoy one, but it's a matter of him picking me and not the other way around.

( sounds like he has a companion of his own, already. )

I've not seen you in some time. I hope Audentes isn't treating you too unkindly.

[mistruths]

[ He waves a hand, a vague, all-encompassing motion. ]

It's been fine. Absolutely fine.

[ Which really doesn't say much at all, but it really is the best way to put things. ]

You're quite welcome to come by and see if he'd like to pick you to follow around.

[dishearten]

By the sounds of things, he's already got a person he favors. Hate to get in the way of that.

( he's heartless, so the fact he sounds amused can't really be genuine, right? )

Glad to hear it, though. All that fine and all. Twice the fine, even.

[mistruths]

Perhaps goats are fickle creatures. You should still try.

[dishearten]

I have always found them to be more obstinate and stubborn than fickle, yet if you insist I will help find his master.

( help... he won't do it on his own. Huntsman aren't quite as stubborn as goats, but it's close. )

[deemed]

[Odinson is keeping an eye on Loki's conversations. He doesn't want the snake telling anyone lies about the goat-]

No need, friend. His master is here already.

[dishearten]

I figured as much.

Quite an impressive creature. Has he a name?

[deemed]

Toothgrinder.

[Does Odinson seem pleased that you're complimenting his goats? it's hard to tell.]

[dishearten]

Seems very apt for a goat. And he inspires the same in his company on occasion, at that.

( he's def talking about Loki there, whose frustration with the giant goat is more than clear. )

[deemed]

[an amused snort]

If his present company cannot manage a goat, then he deserves having his hair eaten.

[dishearten]

I don't suppose I disagree, though if your friend causes such consternation it might be wiser to leave him in more enthusiastic company.

[deemed]

Aye, I'll move him along soon enough.

[There are bound to be some stables where he can put him, right?]

[dishearten]

Where do you intend to keep a creature of that stature?

( though he's more impressed than anything at the size of that goat, it will be difficult to contain, knowing a goat's tendency to eat... ah, well, everything. )

[deemed]

Are there no stables in this place?

[mistruths]

--As he's said.

[dishearten]

Ah, well. I suppose you need no help in looking, then.

( let the record show he would have, though! )

[mistruths]

I wouldn't refuse assistance in getting him to his owner, though.

[dishearten]

I'd be happy to grant some. I should like to meet this Toothgrinder myself.

[mistruths]

I'm sure he'd be glad to meet you as well.

[dishearten]

Glad might be a strong word, considering his temperament, but I don't mind.

( he's also curious if he'll be able to converse with the giant goat, but that's another story. )

[mistruths]

Will you be able to locate us?

action or handwave?

[dishearten]

I think I can manage.

( he can recognize the backdrop from the video, and if that fails magitek does offer a location feature. )

Re: action or handwave?

[mistruths]

(( either or! ))

I shall await your arrival.
