WHO || Loki Laufeyson & Natasha Romanoff
WHAT || Kidnapping.
WHERE || Moscow, Russia
WHEN || Night of June 7th onward.
HOW || Actionspam

[ The teleportation spell brings them to a chilly, but recognizable destination. Though it isn't exactly the same as the city that Natasha may recall, the Kremlin is impossible to misidentify, and that's precisely where Loki is headed.

Natasha's free will is returned to her the minute they arrive, leaving her slightly disoriented, and potentially questioning why she had even listened to his demands (pending a reasonable wisdom check). They touch down 500 yards from the front of the Kremlin. ]

Comments

[generaldavideus]

[David disappears to get changed as well, coming back looking fairly comfortable in it as well (disguise 17). It's the soldier in him. Or something.]

Anything else we should know before we head in there?

[asap]

[Andie shrugs a shoulder.]

Nope, it's all pretty straightforward from here.

[bowtimeandspace]

[ The Doctor has stood uncharacteristically quiet in all of this, but he steps forward now, reaching for one of the outfits. ]

Nothing is ever straightforward.

[generaldavideus]

[David shakes his head as he adjusts the clothing.]

Just be prepared for anything. No one ever said this was going to be easy.

[ambitionist]

Yeah, yeah. We'll be boy scouts.

[generaldavideus]

Alright.

[And once everybody is ready, he'll nod in the direction of the Kremlin.]

Let's go.

[And get this party started.]

[asap]

[Andie takes off back towards the Kremlin! She zips forwards a few paces, then stands and waits for them to catch up as the make their way back. As they get closer, she settles down and forces herself to walk at a reasonable pace.]

[ambitionist]

[so they start walking to the kremlin. it's exciting. maybe they see some stray dogs or something. doesn't russia have a stray dog problem??? this was a tag.]

[jotun]

[ The two guards at the entrance stop them, using the barrels of their rifles to nudge whoever's at the front of the group, then point towards Andie. ]

Who's the kid?

[ Sry Andie you look little to begin with and that disguise check makes it look like you can't dress yourself. ]

[ambitionist]

[alex guesses he'll field this since he is one of the two party members who speaks russian. and also an awesome liar. most of the time. today he just got a bluff 23 tho ... ] New. We're gonna clean her up.

[jotun]

[ The soldiers scrutinize him for a very long, suspicious moment. They exchange a look of doubt, but when one shrugs, they step out of the way. ]

Hurry it up.

[ambitionist]

We'd be quicker without all the questions. [he probably shouldn't sass the real guards. especially after that response. oh well too late they're already moving past them HAAAAAA SUCKAHS]

[generaldavideus]

[David manages not to make a face at the sass (will save 17) and just keeps following Alex like he knows exactly where he's going - even though he doesn't. Eventually, once they're out of earshot, he'll drop his voice and turn to Andie.]

Which way?

[asap]

This way! [And she'll lead them sedately right towards Loki who definitely has no idea they're coming.]

[jotun]

[ Despite some sincerely odd looks from the other guards, the party makes it to the door of the presidential suite, finding it closed. ]

[bowtimeandspace]

[ The Doctor, thankfully, though wearing a silly uniform, still has his trusty screwdriver with him. He pulls it from his pocket and steps forward, zapping the doorway, which should unlock the door as long as it isn't somehow deadlocked. ]

[jotun]

[ in true doctor fashion, it was

already unlocked.

so now it's doubly unlocked.

who's going inside. :) ]

[generaldavideus]

[David is! He slowly pulls the door open, trying to see what he can see through the door before actually moving into the room where Loki is (spot 16).]

[ambitionist]

[ftr he was speaking russian so how would you even know he sassed the guards david!! X( besides ... tone and body language and the fact that he sasses everyone all the time. anyway. alex is going in, too. and choosing to look for the decanter instead. (search 17) until loki comes out and sticks his dick in their faces i guess.]

[jotun]

[ He's seated at the throne behind his desk, with Natasha standing at his side. Five guards stand throughout the room, and the decanter is nowhere to be seen. The guards do not let Alex get past the entryway, stepping in his way as he tries to move around the room to search. ]

Ah, the Knights arrive.

[ Loki grins upon seeing David. ]

You received my message.

[ He glances past them surreptitiously, scanning faces. His grin drops and he stands. ]

And you've come alone.

[generaldavideus]

[David sees that attention on him and looks completely non-plussed. Are you supposed to bother him? Because you really don't (bluff 20 total).]

Who else would we come with?

[He's also not going to bother to ask what message, it doesn't seem important right now.]

[ambitionist]

[yeah loki is the only one grinning sry2say. alex is just like is this bitch real.] You know, I gotta ask. Why Russia? It's a fucking shithole. And I'm Russian, which means I get to say that.

[jotun]

[ ignoring you, bitch. :( how dare you insult his taste in countries.

Instead, Loki hones in on David, studying him with great interest. After all, he seems to be the leader. ]

Perhaps I'd merely hoped for greater planning to go into this rescue mission of yours. I'm certain Natasha hoped for the same.

[ He looks back at her, folding his arms behind his back. ]

Or perhaps she really hoped you wouldn't come at all. Interesting, isn't it? That it isn't her call that brought you here.

[ Tsk tsk. He smirks. ]

[generaldavideus]

[Yeah, it is super interesting, but that's something they'll hash out later. When this is done and David can yell.

Right now, however, he's casing the room, his eyes looking for windows and exits before they fall back to Loki again (spot 12). It's not a lot of time but he's hoping to glance some kind of entrance for Thor for when they give him the signal.]

I work better on my feet. Makes me less predictable.

[jotun]

I don't recall a considerable amount of thinking in New Delhi.

[ sick burn.

There are two doors in the room—the one David came through, and one off to Loki's left/David's right, far in the back beyond the guards. Along the back wall is also a large pane window. ]
