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. ]

[Whoa hi fires. Since there are enough people 'wtf'-ing at Andie by now, Natasha doesn't think she needs to join in on that right now and will let those already there take care of that issue while she continues to try to take care of the issue of Guard #1 by shooting right back at him again (attack 19; damage 13). After firing the weapon, however, she takes a chance to do some yelling herself:]

Seriously? [Because really wtf.]

[jotun]

[ Natasha misses!

Andie's run prompts Guard #1 and #2's attention to fly quickly over to the Doctor. Thanks, Andie. Leveling his gun at the Time Lord, Guard #1 fire off a shot (atk 12), but misses only barely. The bullets go straight through the wooden door beside him. Listen of 18 or higher can catch the plink sound of glass. ]

Hey! You can't go back there!

[ Guard #2 keeps his attention on David, taking advantage of his guard being down to … fail miserably (atk 10). ]

[godoftableflips]

[ lmao reflex save... 8. SPRY, HE IS NOT. he eats that flame, scowling against the burn, fucking oblivious to what's going on over there with andie. ALL EYES ON LOKI(S). #hetero ] Then tell me. [ you like how he says that, and then comes swinging at loki again? cuz i do. also b/c of his champion abilities he gets to make it all the way to him and still full attack :') (atk 43, atk 24; dmg 43 & 36) ] End this!

[jotun]

[ This is the most hetero encounter to ever hetero. Obviously.

As Loki teleports away again, out of hte range of that 79 damage what the fuck, Thor.

He can't tell Thor. He can't simply say it, be it because that's the role he has always filled and eventually he began to buy into his own lie, or because admitting it would be admitting weakness that Asgardian culture simply will not accept. A part of him, visibly, wishes that he could, but the flicker of genuine distress lasts for only a moment before he decides to

lunge at thor with his icicle dagger (atk nat 20, 30 dmg). ]

[ambitionist]

[alex drops the knife, switches to his gun (haha quick draw bitchez) and fires a shot at guard 1. it uh ... goes wide. (ranged atk 9) fucking whoopsies.]

What the fuck, Andie?!

[asap]

You just can't take it, ok? It needs to stay here!

[Why don't you all get this? She doesn't move, but she looks ready to attack if the Doctor makes another move for the cup (...readied attack...).]

[bowtimeandspace]

[ The Doctor doesn't move, because he's not really interested in getting attacked. Again. But he does keep his eyes on Andie. ]

Why not? What's he told you? What's he done that you haven't told us. Andie we need to know!

[generaldavideus]

[Yeah, David was nowhere close to hearing that glass. Too far away (listen 6). Besides, he's more preoccupied with Guard #2 who is still attacking him, even if he is missing. He turns back and slashes down hard (attack 25, damage 10).]

[krasnayapautina]

[Natasha also did not hear the sound of that glass at all (listen 3). And no, she's not giving up on trying to do anything but deal with Guard #1, so ... firing yet another shot at him it is. (attack 20; damage 11).]

[jotun]

[ Natasha's bullet grazes straight past Guard #1, and he tries to fire a return shot, jamming his gun in the process.

Meanwhile, Guard #2 staggers under the blow from David, and rallies to return the hit, missing by a wide margin as he slashes his dagger straight past the viking, about a foot off. ]

[godoftableflips]

[ you know what, thor has had it up to here with these motherfucking ice daggers in his motherfucking back. so he's going to make a disarm check, which will provoke an attack of opportunity, but he still gets to make it whether that succeeds or not. opposed attack rolls! his was a 30 but he's going to spend a surge point, to make it a... 31, wow such surge. and if he's successful in knocking loki's weapon out of his hand, he'll spend another mythic point to use amazing initiative and take another standard action - to smash the dagger with his hammer, where it lies on the ground (atk 35, dmg ... 37). ]

[jotun]

[ His attack of opportunity hits, and he manages to jab his dagger forward before Thor gets in close enough to attempt a disarm (atk 23, dmg 14 with penetration??? + 6 cold damage). It buries deep between the plates of his armor, in his ribs.

Thor manages to successfully grip his hammer around Loki's arm, and a twist of it draws Loki in nearer, wrenching his tight grip loose after a moment of struggle (opposed 31). As Thor slams his hammer down against the dropped weapon, it shatters and scatters across the floor.

Out of options, he raises a hand and plants a palm over one of the plates of Thor's armor. Electricity crackles forward from his fingertips and magnetizes to the plates of Thor's armor and his hammer, shocking him (atk 22, dmg 20). Just for an extra fuck you of using his own element against him. That's what you get for taking Loki's cold magic. ]

[ambitionist]

[alex takes another shot at guard 1, much more successfully this time. (atk 23, 5 dmg) he'll ... worry about andie's psychotic break later. maybe in 5 minutes. ]

[asap]

Nothing! [Bluff 20.] I just... have a feeling, okay? Don't touch the cup!

[bowtimeandspace]

[ With a sense motive of 11 he believes that well enough, but that isn't going to stop him from going in the room. ]

I won't, okay. But I need to find it. You know that, don't you? We need to find it. Look what's happening here, Andie.

[ So on that, he opens the door and pushes it open to head inside. ]

[generaldavideus]

[Since the Doctor seems to have Andie covered for now, David's going to focus on Guard #2, the one who won't go unconscious. Though he's looking like he's on his last legs, so hopefully one more slash should do it (attack 22, damage 17).]

[krasnayapautina]

[Well, she sure does keep missing. Maybe her problem is distance and she should try getting closer? So she will. Taking a few steps forward, she shoots again at Guard #1 (attack 17; damage 12).]

[jotun]

[ Guard 2 goes down, split open by David's final slash. There's no mistaking it: he's dead. As his body slumps to the ground, Alex's bullet catches in Guard 1's arm, and he dodges out of the way easily of Natasha's. He has to spend a turn clearing his gun. ]

[godoftableflips]

[ thor howls ferociously and swings his hammer attempting to do another blowback attack (atk 33), which will knock him back 100 feet. if he doesn't mirror dodge away from it and if he hits a wall, let me know how far he is from it and i'll roll the bludgeoning damage.

the blow does 27 damage itself. ]

[jotun]

[ Success!

Loki is flung whole bodily into the opposite wall, straight past the Knights and into the wall that sports the entry door. The blow sufficiently takes the wind out of him, and though he begins to pick himself up, he doesn't look like he's particularly enjoying it.

It's unpleasant enough that he doubles back to try and have a conversation. ]

What is it you come here seeking, brother? Do you so dearly desire to punish me for stealing our father's throne?

[ Inside the room, the Doctor spots the decanter! Locked inside a glass case. ]

Were you not pleased to rid yourself and Asgard of the stain I left on our beloved family?

[ With their mother gone, what cause had he to stay? ]

[ambitionist]

[yeah u clear ur gun lil bitch guard 1. alex is gonna take another shot. but it misses, which sux. (atk 18)]

[asap]

No!!

[Andie zips after the doctor and tries to grapple him (touch atk 13, opposed grapple check 16).]

[bowtimeandspace]

[ Well that gets him, and ow seriously this is not teamwork (grapple 14), but he pushes against her, trying to break free once more, and managing it this time?! (grapple 23 total) ]

Andie stop.

[generaldavideus]

[Since Natasha and Alex have Guard #1 covered and I'm pretty sure there are no other guards left and David should stop killing people on this mission anyway, he's going to sheath his sword and take off running for the Doctor and Andie because gdi Andie. He doesn't know why she's doing what she's doing but that's gotta stop.

So he's going to just make a break across the room, probably provoking an attack of opportunity somewhere but this tag is just going to be him running since I think he's too far away to do anything at the moment.]

[krasnayapautina]

[Natasha will absolutely second that 'lil bitch guard 1' sentiment from Alex because she is 500% done with this guard. Have another shot at you, Guard #1 (attack 20; damage 15).]
