014 || VIDEO / ACTION

[asofwar]

[Possibly the most dangerous sight there is. The Goddess of War, armed with water balloons, grinning like a hungry wolf, hiding strategically behind an unidentifiable corner.]

Now this - this is a field I understand best.

[ooc; FEEL FREE TO ACTION! Sif's gonna get you wet. Unf. (????)]

Action

[doeswhathewants]

[He moves painstakingly slowly, careful not to disturb the slightest twig or branch- not even a leaf. He has a balloon filled with hot pink water in his hand and is slowly pulling his arm back. Carefully.... carefully.....]

perma action because it's not just for video!

[asofwar]

[Here is the thing, though. Leaves move. Branches sway. When it's too quiet is when anyone with a lick of sense would worry. And Sif does know how to be alert.

However, often you have to lay the bait before the prey can come at you.]

Yush

[doeswhathewants]

[He is yet unskilled in the art of war and so he doesn't take this into account. But he's thinking he has the upper hand, grinning to himself as he chucks the water balloon at her, in his opinion, incredibly unsuspecting self.]

excellent - welcome to hell, bb!loki

[asofwar]

[And that's his first mistake. It's as easy to dodge that one as it is to spin around and hurl a balloon at him, towards the branches still shaking from the movement of the throw.]

Be gentle T__T lol

[doeswhathewants]

[The impact is so unexpected she knocks him out of the tree, but little parkour masters always land on their feet and he does, grinning, albeit slightly damp. He draws another balloon in one hand and a super soaker in the other, trying to angle to chuck the balloon around one side of the tree and shoot from the other, as he maneuvers, he calls out.] Sif, Sif, but pink dye would have gone well with your complexion.

this is sparta

[asofwar]

[And dive behind a tree she does as well, because she knows better than to trust Lokis to fight fair. Of course, they have not discussed that - nor does she want to. Not now.]

I should have known you would add something extra.

i'm okay with thor in a wet teeshirt just saying

[godofabs]

(oh, it's on. not only is he soaking wet and eager to get his revenge on sif. so he lies in wait, waiting for her)

why is he even wearing one just saying

[asofwar]

[Such a poor loser, mighty Thor. Just because he was not alert in his sleep, and woke up very bright and early with a morning shower...

Keep waiting, bro.]

sif he has to be decent

[godofabs]

(he was sleeping, excuse me he was just resting his wounds because he was off saving the world. he slides to hide behind a wall, looking onward.)

fools her

[asofwar]

[You know, battling, wounds, scars, so on - not such a big deal. And water heals, or desinfects, so she was helping as well! Regardless.

Just so happens that she's walking towards the wall.]

[godofabs]

(heheheheh just wait thor, just wait. for once being patient might actually work in your favor-)

[asofwar]

[Just this once! Just this once, because you deserve a victory, brave prince of Asgard. Just this once, she walks with little regard to the huge man behind the corner (whose shoulder and corner of the cape is still visible).]

action;

[bythreadalone]

[ This is Peter, minding his own business while being completely oblivious to everything else around him. ]

action; it's like avengers assemble....to be soaked

[asofwar]

[Now that just can't be. That just won't do! A lesson must be taught - you don't simply walk around completely oblivious when you're on a battlefield. Any moment, a balloon full of water could, and will, be pelted at your back.]

action;

[bythreadalone]

[ There's no killing intent behind the attack, and he knows who Sif is distantly, so the ol' Webhead won't be saved by Spider-sense. Unlike his little escapade with Bucky, this is all innocence, and Peter gets pelted with a balloon square between the shoulder blades. ]

Oof!

action;

[asofwar]

[She's not exactly attacking from where she can't be seen - there's little honour in complete backstabbing. If he didn't stop her...his fault :T]

Surely, you shall be avenged.

action;

[bythreadalone]

You just decked me with a water balloon!

[ He turns around to try and find whoever just did that, and is surprised to find Sif, of all people, standing a little bit off to the side of him. How'd he miss her? ]

Sif...? What -- not you too!

action;

[asofwar]

[Because she is the Norse Inquisition. No-one even knows of it, let alone expect it.

Honestly. Just because she's serious most of the time...]

Indeed, I as well. You did not evade it - there is a battle going on, if you were not aware.

Action;

[child_radical]

[For all the times he's expressed imposed nothing but boredom, stress, despair and anger there are a few times in between where he actually shows his true age.]

The young tend to have the advantage on this!

[Like today. Be wary Sif, here comes Huey from your side while dual wielding a pair of pump-action water guns.]

Action; sorry this is two days late i had...a busy week

[asofwar]

The young tend to cheat.

[The experienced - they tend to dodge better and faster. Granted, there are only so many places she can dive behind for cover, but she makes do. She always does.

She might be liking this 'game' too much for her age, she thinks. Then launches five balloons at him; with less speed and strength than usual.]

action - sorry for lift!

[godoftricks]

Do you, Sif? [ Where is his voice coming from? He can't be seen anywhere, and the sound he's making appears to come from a multitude of directions. There's a soft laugh in his voice. Let me see your weapons, then.

action - lifts ain't nothing but tricks and suspension

[asofwar]

[Her lips pull up over her teeth, barely disguised snarl. She should've guessed. Should have known with decisive certainty that he'd come and use his tricks.

She stands still, looking at nothing in particular and trying to discern where his voice is coming from.] You are seeing them. Unsurprisingly, yours remain hidden.

action

[godoftricks]

My apologies.

[ He sounds amused, but he doesn't reveal where he's standing. Instead, a large balloon will come towards her from the left. ]

Do you see now, my old friend?

[ And then Loki does appear, but in multiple form - twenty different Lokis, all apparently moving independently, and surrounding her in a wide circle. ]

action

[asofwar]

[Maybe she should not stand still, then. Standing still sounds like a particularly bad idea. She moves, dodges the balloon just barely, and suddenly she's confronted by many, many Lokis.

She imagines this is what his enemies felt when he pulled this trick. Annoyance. That he'd pull it on her - well, it neither surprises her nor feels any less like a backhand.]

Oh, I see indeed. [She doesn't have enough balloons for all of him. She'll have to find the true one. Unsurprisingly, the idea of engaging Loki in battle is...satisfying and tempting in equal terms.]

I had thought you would honour me with some form of strategy - you were quite decent at it - but all I see here is a cheater.

action

[godoftricks]

Do you call this cheating?

[ Every variant of him speaks at once, creating a chorus of disdainful amusement. Despite that, there is a part of him that wants this, wants to engage her. He didn't battle her on either Asgard or Midgard, and so much between them is still unanswered. These weapons are crude, and the curse compels their use...but he finds she is not an inappropriate target. ]

I call it using my skill. I am presuming that you shall use yours - I should prepare to be charged at any moment, yes?

[ The circle of illusions seems to ripple, and a balloon comes towards Sif from the opposite side. ]
