orb ; rebirth 19

[sorcerous]

[ The orb rises and follows as Loki leaps from one tree to another, lighting on a strong branch and bracing himself with a palm against the bark.

There's quite a din of whinnying and hoofbeats in the background.

His voice is utterly calm: ]

Gretel -- sorceress. It seems my day is somewhat preoccupied. I won't be able to meet with you after all.

[ A smash of splintering wood; Loki flinches. More of a twitch, really.

He raises his eyes heavenward, in exasperation, and reaches out for the orb.

It avoids his fingers. ]

Oh, in the name of --

[ Visible, now, is a horse just a few feet below him, a brown one, enraged. Possibly familiar to some as the horse that rampaged through town earlier. And she has a little, ridiculous hat braced between her ears. ]



ooc; responses may be from Loki, and they may be from rampaging horse!Sif. Or both.

[[...oh hey. It was that horse]]

Are you going to be all right?

[[Not... that he had any idea what he could do to help... but he felt he should be able to do something... right?]]

[sorcerous]

The Lady Sif could take a fair few lessons in reining in her temper.

[shiromadoushi]

[[blink blink. Wait a second...]]

You mean that horse is her?!

no wonder she was so mad....!

What happened?

[sorcerous]

A curse most foul.

[In the background, Bakura will hear Sif neighing loudly in response to the worst pun ever uttered.

Hey, Bakura. Sorry about almost running you down earlier.]

Whoops, missed this.

[shiromadoushi]

[[Hey, as puns go, that first one wasn't so bad!

And now that he realizes that it was you, he's not really too surprised. He'd probably freak out if he were suddenly a horse too!]]

[shiromadoushi]

She'd be a chicken if it were that...

[[Sorry Sif, puns are in the blood]]

Any idea what caused it?

[sorcerous]

A curse most equine, then, if you must.

[shiromadoushi]

[[a smile at that.]] If there's anything I could do... Maybe something like Purify, to take it off?

[sorcerous]

I would be a great deal more worried if I didn't have readily and easily at hand a method to undo the curse.

[shiromadoushi]

[[blink blink]] Then why haven't you?

[[and as you're driven up a tree, you do look rather worried to him...]]

[sorcerous]

For reasons that are my business, and hers.

[shiromadoushi]

[[blink blink. Look back at the clearly pissed off horse.]]

... good luck....

[[Nice knowing you, bro.]]
