[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.]

[Oh, look who's back. It's that little lightning rod of a redhead that sparred with Thor once. She seems a little less excitable, exuberant, but there is the slight twitch of a smile at the corner of her lips.]

Glad to see you two are having fun. And not a bad performance, although you might want to practice a bit more before making overtures to off-broadway.

[Lightly teasing, but she also means it; it does seem like a good thing.]

[worldsaway]

Don't worry, he's already banished me from ever performing on stage. [Bitterly, then curiously.]

Did you leave, or did I imagine that?

[krasnaya_vdova]

[There's a slight hum of amusement at that reply, but then she quiets into something slightly more serious.]

Only for a little while, I've heard. There was someone I wanted to check on.

[The fact that she's back here does seem to imply that probably hadn't gone too well, though.] But I'm glad to be back.

How have you been? Forays into performance art aside.

[worldsaway]

I can't fault you for that. [He'd leap at the chance to go home again, even for a little while.]

As well as you can be in the whirlpool of the universe, I suppose.

sorry this is years late! if you wanna drop and do something new just lmk

[krasnaya_vdova]

[She smiles a little at that, a slight glint in her blue eyes.] I did miss everyone here, though. And I'm.. glad to be back.

[She hums slightly, a little thoughtful as she eyes the screen.] What, you're telling me there's been no daring adventures?

[dothelokimotion]

[ A faint smile appears. ]

It wasn't quite up to my standards.

[krasnaya_vdova]

I'm sure. But it was entertaining- I did rather like the snake.

[She smiles lightly, still quietly amused. And she does like the fact that it seems Loki and Thor are getting along. ]

And at least he made an attempt?

[dothelokimotion]

I'm rather fond of the form myself.

[ He wipes some of the mud off him, damnit Thor. ]

If you can call it that. But then Thor has never had the practice.
