video/text; @falcon: the first memorial tony stark (616) and wanda maximoff mousting tournament

video; open

[The video takes place in a living room, with all the furniture pushed up against the walls to leave a wide open space in the middle of the room. A circle about six feet wide is marked off with blue painters' tape, and a number of small mice in eclectic homemade clothing are clustered around different spots outside the circle and cheering, waving small banners, flags, and other miscellany in either red or blue. Although the cheers are indistinct, it's clear that it's actual language, rather than simple mouse squeaking.

In the center of the circle, two roombas hum and maneuver around each other. Each vacuum has four balloons in either red or blue, and knives are duct-taped to the front of them. In addition, there's a small team of mice clad in their respective colors on each roomba. Somehow, they're steering them, although it's not completely evident how.

As the video goes on, the roombas pop their balloons - red starts out with a clear advantage, taking out two balloons in quick succession, but blue manages to stave them off for a time, long enough to catch up. Blue pulls ahead, followed by a tie, but ultimately, red succeeds in eliminating their competition's balloons first. Somehow, all of this is done without injury to the mice, although there are a few close calls, and occasionally competition will pause to switch new riders in.

At the end, the gleeful red fans swarm in and present their winning team with an assortment of cookies, cheese, and crackers, a few young mice mopping sweat from spiked fur with small towels.]

Anyone want a splinter colony of mice? Seriously, I've got, like, fifty of them, and I need to get rid of a few. They'll be happy to find new homes, I promise. They're well-behaved, you just have to remind them of the rules sometimes, and you can always bribe them with food. They just want to have people to hang around and worship, so, uh, you'll find them singing songs about you and having weird rituals and festivals about minor things in your life, but they're cute little bastards.

Also, if anyone's looking for a place to live, let me know. Or if you want to help me cook brunch on Sundays, because man, I can't cook food for everyone who shows up by myself.



[ooc: In case anyone's curious, this happens to be a colony of Aeslin mice from Seanan McGuire's Incryptid books.]

Mhm.

[Can't prove shit Sam!]

They recently made a pilgrimage to the kitchen and got a good look at just what it is I eat.

[He can't blame them for the scary mouse name for that one.]

Because that's cute.

That doesn't make sense but okay.

[She's been in Riverview for all of a week and she's just taking things as they come.]

Let me know how Blue does? I'd love the extra cash.

Mostly tell it to go float somewhere else.

Wow, that was intense. Do mice wars happen often?
Should I be on the lookout for tiny mice armies?

Holy shit, these guys are still kicking?

[Does Taako know how long mice live? Absolutely not.]

Is anyone taking bets on the teams cause I think I recognize one of the little dudes on blue and I'll put money on him.

I would leave that up to Snow White or Cinderella. They have a way with animals. [though he's not sure he's seen either of them ever use animals for housework]

[ Lorna just watches. A couple of times it might look like she's gathered her thoughts enough to say something, but every time it sort of peters out before she can say it.

Finally, all she can come up with is this: ]


I have no idea what I'm looking at.

But how am I supposed to keep track of it all?

[Looking just slightly too innocent there, Stark.]
