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.]


text; closed to Sam's CR among the Marvel casts

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.]

[Sadly he doesn't want mice.]

I hope your mice-room is well-proofed, because Freyja may have her own house-guests over soon for a party and I will not be held accountable for rodent genocide.

Wow, I didn't think robot fighting would actually be so much fun!

I don't think I'm mice-god material, but I'll visit with them.
It's not like the Sanctum's living room is all that far for me to get to.

[What is he watching? Seriously, what sort of madness is this?]

...and just when I thought I'd seen everything here.

[But he won't stop watching. He's kind of fascinated now by the little critters and their apparent close brushes with disaster each time a knife comes close.]

Yeah.

I'm a bartender at The Quarantine Bar & Grill.

Stop by, say hi, leave a nice tip.

[She flashes him a smile at that last part.]

You really know how to take the fun out of things.

[Not that it's going to stop him.]

There was more than one Tony at one point? Never noticed.

...Why would mice starting riding on a robot that looks so much like a mouse droid? Do they...actually stop after a while?

It doesn't seem particularly difficult so I'm sure someone will want to help.

The last time I ate something was about two days ago. Pets aren't a good idea.

My magic isn't really magic-magic. .

( it's not as if wanda being his mother from a previous incarnation is really much of a secret. if any. )

They have cults?

[What]

How exactly did you get stuck with all these singing, worshiping mice, Sam?

Just some folks she knows. They're going to watch Anaconda.

Thanks!
