video; @fromTV (with bonus Loki)

[The scene: the central room of the ice maze, cleared of gifts and drinks, replaced by an oversized throne that looks as though it belongs in some nightmare castle. On the throne sits Loki, in full Asgardian regalia, while Taako has managed to find a perch on the side of the throne, legs dangling off the side lazily, with an arm draped around Loki’s shoulders. He has no regalia to fall back on, so he’s gone for something black and striking, to match the theme of this little spectacle and to not clash horribly with Loki; his hair is braided tightly and his long nails are tipped with silver jewellery that he likely stole from Rin. In the background, there are faint sounds of panic; no screams yet, but questioning, worried voices, the sounds of people who are just starting to realize they should be afraid.]

Citizens of Riverview, [ Loki speaks in a low, lazy drawl that does nothing to hide the menace and power in his voice. ] We have lost our patience with you. So we will be taking over your charming little city. Freedom, after all, is life’s great lie. We will bring order to your messy lives.

[In contrast to Loki’s almost lazy indifference, Taako’s grin is sharp, a slight manic edge to his tone.]

Let’s not be too generous, calling it charming is a stretch and we could do so much better for ourselves, like say, the Capital World. We’re fucking sick and tired of playing nice with a bunch of idiots who wouldn’t know magical power if it bit them in the ass, but maybe the rest of this universe will have some more sense. Which is where-- [In the background, someone screams something about being let out, and Taako sighs deeply.] I wasn’t fucking finished.

[He raises a hand and what looks like black lightning seems to crackle over his fingers, spreading out across the ice and off screen as the background sounds fall deathly silent.]

I know they say to never work with children or animals, but honestly, it’s people that really get to you. [He pauses, lifts a shoulder in a lazy what can you do? sort of shrug] As I was saying, what we need from you is a shuttle to get off this shithole once we're done here.

Comply with our demands . . . or else the rest of you will suffer the same fate that befall those who rebel against us. Succumb to your natural state, your desire for subjugation.

[ As if on cue, a few sparrows fly past them, frost already spreading on their wings. ]

Son, I'll personally give you a real good look at what losing feels like.

[That's what you wanted, right?]

Do you have a daddy kink? You keep bringing it up.

[Steve recoils sharply and has to fight off a tinge of red in his face. Wow. That was not the response he was going for!]

That's right. Crimes like this can't go unpunished.

[He's struggling to keep a straight face here, Taako!!]
livingsymbol: ([S] You want to put that where?)

[ To be fair, half of Steve's supervillains really do hit on him.

...and half of the other heroes talk about banging him, so Taako is playing the part well. Steve is just flustered because unlike in the first case he can't actually be so angry at Taako that he ignores the flirtation. And so he huffs on his end of the video like an offended cat. ]


Do you really want to try me?
livingsymbol: ([S] I'm always serious ma'am.)

[ Oh boy. He walked right into this, he knows, but Steve is already committed, so he clenches a fist and raises his chin. Might as well make a show of it. ]

You could always just give up while you're ahead.
livingsymbol: ([S] If I said yes would you kiss me?)

I didn't realize you liked eating dirt. Is that a magic thing too?

[ Okay, fine!! He'll play his way. ]
livingsymbol: ([S] Dramatic shadows time.)

I honestly wouldn't know. But if you want me to beat you, I guess I can oblige.

[He might know what he's doing there. But then, Steve sounds so serious when he says it.]
