Fjórtandi Villieldr - [Accidental Video]

[infernoandhearth]

[For once, Luke isn't posting on purpose, so he's a bit hunched over in shadow from a distance, looking solemn, concentrating. The device is filming from a dresser. He's wearing a shoulder bag, which shortly bursts into flame while he's holding it, the flame disappearing into Luke to reveal another object, in his hands. It looks as if it's made up of many pieces of glass, cobbled together with a seam made of what looks like lava, red-orange and glowing. It can't really be glass, of course, or it can't be lava, because lava would melt the glass, surely.

Or maybe metaphors and magic don't follow the laws of physics.

Either way, he lifts it up to his chest, where the angle makes it finally clear that it's a heart, and his shirt flickers forward to stitch around it, holding it in a lump to his plaid shirt in a sort of pocket. The seams can be seen glowing through the pocket before he sighs, and the pocket flames and disappears, leaving him holding his heart again. He pauses.

He's just lifted it up to his face when the video ends.]

There's a lot of that going around.

And I need to talk to you and Serrure.

[infernoandhearth]

Even yours? Does it get larger when you're angry? Never mind, I know.

Sorry it didn't work. It nearly did. And then it didn't.

[hulkbusted]

No, it's radioactive.

You know? Then you know what comes next.

[infernoandhearth]

Only because you want it to be.

You're cross at me and you scold me for some time about how this is really just what you expected all along from a Loki?

[hulkbusted]

I don't want it to be radioactive.

No, I tell you that you and Serrure are going to give me back the scepter. Then we're only going to speak of things pertaining to Margie.

Your heart is on fire.

Leah's heart is melting.

Today is terrible. P.S. The melting? Not a metaphor.

[infernoandhearth]

You want people to stay away from it.

Will you? Isn't it there?

[valentineluke]

You look a bit wistful.

[hulkbusted]

I don't want anyone getting hurt.

Luke, get the scepter and bring it back. Don't make me find it.

[infernoandhearth]

I'm surprised it isn't more on fire, really and are you serious? Perhaps you might put it in a mould and add more ice to it? We could go to Xanadu and pack it with snow?

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

We've got it in the freezer for now, I worry it is not cold enough.

[infernoandhearth]

Mm, trying to work out where to put it, mainly. It's hardly safe, out in the open like that.

[infernoandhearth]

You're not as bad as that.

[Uuuugh. He's doing it as slowly as possible. Walking like a human and everything.] We only meant to use it on the deities. Isn't that a use honourable enough?

Permavideo

[infernoandhearth]

Xanadu, then. Snow. And then a bit of water on that snow so it freezes around and more snow on top of that. We'll build a Leah's heart snowgirl.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

I shall give her half of mine if it does melt. The good half. Do you think that would work if the snow and ice fails?

[hulkbusted]

I'm not talking about my heart or your reasons with you or with Serrure. I gave you both the benefit of the doubt and you screwed me on it.

Permavideo

[infernoandhearth]

I think it must.

I hope David's is safe. Perhaps I ought not to have swallowed mine...

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

You might need it if his becomes lost or broken.

[infernoandhearth]

We only meant to make things better for everyone! How else but to depose the deities? I fail to see how we screwed you when we were trying to help.

[hulkbusted]

Just bring me the scepter. I'll put it somewhere safe.

Permavideo

[infernoandhearth]

Just my thinking. I'll have to make sure it doesn't burn him.

[valentineluke]

Keeping it close to your person seems the best option. You can instantly conjure fire for protection.

[infernoandhearth]

[Bruce never changes his mind. Luke doesn't know why he's trying. He's feeling very sorry for himself about this entire thing.]

I can't. Or, I mean. Look. Will you just. Go and coordinate with Tony. Please.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

Great minds think like ours.

[infernoandhearth]

Well, yes, but it's where to keep it without it looking silly, you know. It's very bulky. Anyway, I've sorted it.
