[video]; thunderer

[worldsaway]

[The video begins in the swampier edges of the jungle. Thanks to the flooding, the water is up to Thor's waist and he has mud up his arms and on his face. He holds the camera up at a selfie angle, smiling into it and waving with a muddy hand.]

If anybody happens to know where a big, fat crocodile went, let me know. He's got a scar over his eye and his legs are very stumpy. Embarrassingly stumpy.

[Thor looks about him, holding the camera out so the audience can really appreciate the view of the overflowing river and not the fact that he's wearing a wet singlet.]

And if you've lost anything in the floods, let me know and I'll keep my eye out for-

[He cuts himself off when he catches sight of something making ripples on the water. His arm whips out of camera, snatching the tail of a snake that he brings into view.]

Look at this! Did you know snakes could swim?



[The snake hisses, flicking its tongue at Thor even as it coils around Thor's arm in a lithe, slow crawl. When Thor's hold lessens though, the snake rears back slightly like a mirage before vanishing and revealing a grinning Loki who very casually slides a small dagger into Thor's side.]

Oh dear. Was that me?

[Thor grunts, mostly in surprise but there's pain in it. The little blades sting, and it's a miracle that he can hold onto his camera (lopsidedly) when he drops to his knees and grips his side.]

You've done it now, brother. [Thor growls, with a clenched jaw.] It's all going dark. Dark and cold. I see a light, it's calling me. I'll bleed out before they find me.

[And with his final breath, he musters the strength to try kick Loki into the mud along with him.]

How dramatic. Is this supposed to be some kind of advertisement for the theater?

[dothelokimotion]

No. Just an old prank.

[wiccant]

Stabbing someone counts as a prank?

[dothelokimotion]

Of course.

I personally find it hilarious.

[wiccant]

( it's good his expectations for lokipranks was already pretty low, isn't it. )

So you just. . sneak up on him, as a snake, he picks you up, and you stab him, and that's hilarious?

[dothelokimotion]

[ He sniffs. ]

It's hardly my fault no one else sees the humour in it.

[wiccant]

I think most people find making others bleed more of an unpleasant scenario.

( hurting others isn't funny loki!! )

[dothelokimotion]

[ It's totally funny. ]

Asgardians enjoy bleeding. It's valiant and noble to the cause.

[wiccant]

Does getting stabbed by a Loki pretending to be a snake really count as bleeding for the cause?

[dothelokimotion]

[ In complete seriousness. ]

Yes.

[wiccant]

( it's a little hard not to laugh but he. manages it anyway. )

What cause is that?

[dothelokimotion]

My cause, obviously.

[wiccant]

I really don't think that's how that works, but I'm going to take your word for it.

[worldsaway]

No. Not one I was privy to, at least.

[wiccant]

I'm glad to see you didn't actually bleed out.

[worldsaway]

It's going to take far more than a papercut to kill me.

[wiccant]

Daggers are basically papercuts to Asgardians. Got it, I'll remember that.

( he'll add it to his notes. )

What's your crocodile's name?

[worldsaway]

[Oh god, naming things. His one weakness.]

It's... [He elongates the s as he thinks. Just say a name.]

Korg. [No, that's boring.] Korgodile.

[wiccant]

Korgodile. That's. . that sure is a name.

( what the heck kind of name is that, thor. )

If you need help finding him, I could cast a locator spell.

[worldsaway]

Yes. It has a beginning and an end. [A swift, merciful end.] It doesn't really need a name, you know, it's a crocodile.

[And yet..] Can you really do that?

[wiccant]

Yelling out "hey, Korgodile" makes a little more sense than calling out for just any crocodile, considering how many there are.

And I can, yeah. I can't find things off this moon anymore, but I haven't had trouble finding things on it.

[worldsaway]

How does it work? Do you need some of his blood?

[wiccant]

Just an idea of who I'm looking for, which you've already given me.

[worldsaway]

Alright then. Go ahead, Billiam. Use your powers.

[wiccant]

Uh, okay. Do you want me to take you to him, or?

( is he going to try and teleport a crocodile. that sounds dangerous. )
