[video] + [Action Spam for Jane and Thor]

[6collegecredits]

[The video clicks on to reveal a very giddy looking Darcy.]

Hello everyone! I have someone to introduce you to. [She pauses and leans down next to her. In a second she sits back up, this time holding a teacup pig in her arms.]

I want you all to meet Mister Oinkums! [Mister Oinkums snorts softly and nudges the crook of her elbow. HE IS BEING ADORABLE AND CUDDLY, OKAY?] Thor was thinking of eating him the other day, and after saving him I just couldn't leave him in that pet store.

Say hello, Mister Oinkums! [She waves his front hoof for him, smiling like a madwoman.]

[Action]

[So Darcy's just chilling with Mister Oinkums at the table while munching on some chips and browsing on her phone. Care to notice the new mascot?]

My brother and I have kept many pets over the course of our years, but never anything like that.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

What kinds, then?

[video]

[trickstering]

Thor had a rather large wolf he kept insisting was a dog, there was a small collection of stray cats at one point, horses - though I'm not sure "pet" is the word you'd use for the latter.

[She bursts out laughing.]

Man, he really would have a pet like that, wouldn't he?

[video]

[trickstering]

We tried to point out the obvious problems involved but he didn't really want to listen.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

Yep. Sure sounds like him.

[video]

[trickstering]

So it does.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

So whatever happened to the wolf?

[video]

[trickstering]

He met an untimely demise by eating a snake I was keeping. Apparently, it was venomous enough to fell a beast even of that wolf's size.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

....aw.

So you both lost your pets.

[video]

[trickstering]

That's correct.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

Must have been a tough day in the Odinson household.

[video]

[trickstering]

I was furious at him for having let it happen, and I imagine he wasn't so thrilled either. However, as I hadn't really told anyone I had been keeping the snake, that meant there were few I could complain to.

It was many years ago, now.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

Yeah...I'm really glad that I'm an only child.

[video]

[trickstering]

I could see the advantages.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

I guess you'll see for yourself now, kind of.

[video]

[trickstering]

I'm not sure it's the most comforting thought, but I suppose you're right.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

[She winces a bit.]

Yeah, sorry. That probably came off a little insensitive.

[video]

[trickstering]

It doesn't matter.

[no, really, it doesn't.]

[video]

[6collegecredits]

You sure?

[video]

[trickstering]

Positive.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

Right. Well, sorry anyway.

[video]

[trickstering]

[...]

It's fine. In any event, I hope that your new pet does not take up too much of your time, unless that was what you were hoping for.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

I'm kind of hoping he takes up some of everybody's time here. We could use some cheering up around here, honestly.

[video]

[trickstering]

I see.
