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.]

I have no fucking clue what this is but I'll put twenty down on blue.

[It reminds her a little bit of some of the random shit that Walter used to do and she will not admit it but it's nostalgic.]

Well yeah. It makes it that much more exciting.

Who do you think will win?

And who are all your friends that they worship?

[This is oddly not the weirdest thing that Willa has heard.]

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.

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.]

What is it that you do?

I knew a guy who could have benefited from that kind of thing.

[She will not admit that she misses Walter.]

There a lot of war vets here?
