Permavideo and Action

[doeswhathewants]

[Serrure's Starkphone is balanced on the ledge of a building, filming him in profile as he leans over that ledge, elbows on the concrete top. Lemons are piled near waist high next to him. One is in his hand.] When life gives you lemons-

[He turns to the camera and grins, then chucks the lemon in his hand down at some unsuspecting person below.]-toss them off of a very tall building at people.

Comments

action:

[charring]

[Sorry to ruin your fun, Serrure. Charlie sees what you're doing. She's highly amused and tries to time it just right so it almost looks like the lemon is going to land on her. She looks up, focuses and the lemon flares into ash. And then she gives Serrure a wave and a grin.]

action:

[doeswhathewants]

[He's half grinning, half because he knows Charlie is Punzie's friend and he doesn't want to hurt her, but on the other hand lemon to the- and then the grin is gone, eyes are wide and he's leaning slightly forward. How did she do that?

And he's just going to raise his hand in a half wave, his expression a cross between that is so cool and please don't toast me.]

action:

[charring]

[She doesn't toast kids, Serrure. You're in luck. She opts to call up a warning, since she actually likes the guy.]

You should probably be careful doing that. Who knows what kinda person you'll hit. I don't like seeing my friends get hurt, especially when they're kids.

action:

[doeswhathewants]

[He grins down at her] I am always careful. Thank's for the warning, though.

But now everyone knows to look for you.

[doeswhathewants]

Then they have no one but themselves to blame if they are hit, now don't they?

video;

[sixwinged]

I don't know. They could still blame the person throwing them in the first place.

[doeswhathewants]

Would one blame the road for car damage if they saw a sign that said "bump ahead" and did not attempt to slow down or avoid said bump?

video;

[sixwinged]

Some people would.

[errandry]

... I dunno, man, that just means they'll be armed when they come after you.

[doeswhathewants]

Aha~ But I am defending the high ground. Any attackers would be at a grave disadvantage.

[errandry]

You're defending one side of the high ground. What if they come up behind you?

[doeswhathewants]

Then I will have to remain ever vigilant, won't I? For being caught unawares would be my own fault.

[errandry]

Hey, if this is war, at least cut 'em open or something.

(action.)

[godofabs]

You are just asking for trouble, are you not?

(action.)

[doeswhathewants]

[And he's not even going to startle, just look over his shoulder, arch an eyebrow and drop the lemon he was holding on some unsuspecting person below.]

Trouble comes whether I ask or not, thus, I prefer to face it head on.

(action.)

[godofabs]

That is not at all what I wanted to hear. (yoink, there goes the lemons.) It is not nice.

(action.)

[doeswhathewants]

[The faintest hint of a huff at the corner of his mouth.] You may or may not have noticed- in case not I will enlighten you- but Midgard isn't all that nice. War, disease, famine, human trafficking, in the grand scheme of things this is almost a polite greeting.

[intheblanks]

That's one way of spreading the love.

[doeswhathewants]

Passes the time, at least. And if no one else but myself is amused at this endeavor, well, mission accomplished.

Private

[worldofourown]

[ Nice. ]

...I prefer tossing explosives myself.

But that's one way of being enjoyably rid of the lemons.

Private

[doeswhathewants]

You are also a psychopath so your preferences do not count, Karl.

Very enjoyably. I would invite you to walk under my building, but I would think your retaliation would be something akin to a nuclear strike.

Private

[worldofourown]

On the contrary. My preferences count a great deal.

For example, I might prefer to skin you alive for that little impertinence. But instead I'll let it slide.

Private

[doeswhathewants]

Well, yes, I do prefer my skin on and not off.

On the other hand, you do realize I intend to hide behind others who are strong enough to stand against you, right?

Private

[worldofourown]

You're welcome to try.

But that safety will only last so far.
