{12th Gunshot; Video}

[littlesurvivor]

[Today, Asgard is greeted with a video of Clementine, a finger to her lips before she holds up a small container of glitter. Using her shadow control, she then spreads it along the top of the ceiling fan, waiting for someone to come along and turn it on to watch the resulting expressions and mess, either in her house or somewhere perhaps even more public, like the school. Either way, she's hiding somewhere nearby, close enough to stay hidden while having a view and earshot of the room she just set up.

And hey, if she has to clean up? It'll be worth it. And it really is overall just some harmless fun. Something she hasn't had the chance for in a long time, what with everything back home and the time it has taken overall for her to keep readjusting to Asgard. And if she says it is 'homework'? She wouldn't be lying, with Riley's wording. Just don't mind her over here with the not suspicious at all glitter at her hands. Tell her off, get caught in the glittery mess? Offer to help her clean up in the after math?]

hopefully this works? lemme know if i need to tweak it!

[Times when Cora misses being super aware of everything around her? Moments like this one. She could probably easily avoid this glitterbomb if she had her werewolf senses at her disposal, but there are times that she forgets she needs to be a little extra aware of what's going on around her.

She's walking into the school while she's on patrol, partially because she's nosy (she has no interest in school, she hasn't attended since she was eleven, but she's curious) and partially because she thought she saw something. She ducks her head into the room, takes a few steps forward to try and see if anything's around, before fumbling back behind her for the light switch.

She misses, hits the fan instead, annnnnnnnd is suddenly stumbling backwards just as fast, glitter sticking to every bit of her it can find.

Because it's glitter.

Man, she had her hair down today too, she's never going to get it all out.]

totally works.

[littlesurvivor]

[If Cora listens, she might hear a faint giggling from a nearby slightly ajar cupboard where Clementine is hiding, recording the mess and Cora's reaction with her bracelet. She's at least trying (if failing) at being quieter about it. She can't help it, what with Cora's expression and having been waiting for someone to come along to get caught in it.]

[impetere]

[It takes a minute because Cora's hearing isn't what she used to be, and she's busy swatting glitter away from her. In fact, all the glitter getting swatted around gets into her nose and she sneezes first. But when the silent falls, she's following the sound of the giggles to the closet and pulling open the door.

And no, she's not happy.]

Did you do this?

[littlesurvivor]

[Oh, she's caught. Still, there are definitely worse things to be caught doing. Clementine gives a sheepish wave and smile, eyes widening a little when Cora finally finds her and opens the door. She's pretty sure even if she lies and says it wasn't her, Cora probably wouldn't believe it. Not like this. So, better to tell the truth, right?]

Yeah. Sorry. I was kind of hoping it might be someone else that found it.....

[Like Snape. But she's not admitting that much.]

'think pan'? You mean my brain? Nothing's wrong. I'm just having a bit of fun.

Pranks, exactly. You got it.

[Bunny's watching this with quite some amusement. Kids should be allowed to have some fun, even in a war zone, the chance to just be kids. He won't spoil her stealth, good of him, really. A part of him wants to see if anyone gets caught.]

Causing trouble, Clementine?

Text

[littlesurvivor]

Maybe? It's been a while, and this is something different than putting bugs on someone's pillow like I used to.

[Really, it's thanks to Riley (or perhaps, blaming Riley) that Clementine considered pranking again like this. Making use of her shadow control is just a bonus.]

[Oh Riley, you're a great kid. ]

And if anyone had a barny at you over it, you can just say you're training with your powers. No one can begrudge you that.

[Aiding and abetting, Bunny.]

Text

[littlesurvivor]

A barny? You mean if someone gets mad. Seems pretty silly to get mad over a little mess that can easily be cleaned up. But true. I am using my shadow control.

[omittance]

That's one way to use your powers, huh, kid?

video.

[littlesurvivor]

Yup. I'm practicing. Riley gave me 'homework' earlier. And if it helps me get better with the shadow control...

[Then. Well, she can just explain she was training. Right? Of course.]

video.

[omittance]

[ A SIGH. ]

Of course it was Riley. At least you're not droppin' knives on people.

video.

[littlesurvivor]

Dropping knives? No, that sounds...kind of dangerous. Even if I have pretty good aim.

[He doesn't want to ruin her sneakiness either, but he's supposed to do something, right? Well, whatever "do something" means. How do you parent?

Eight doesn't say anything, yet. He just lifts an eyebrow at her, trying not to look too amused, though the corners of his mouth twitch.]

[video]

[littlesurvivor]

[Clementine gives an almost cheeky smile, raising a finger to her lips. She can probably tell or at least guess at his thought process with that raised eyebrow. And she totally catches that start of an amused smile there. Though it's clear she may be trying not to giggle as she changes to text.]

I'm only in trouble if say, Professor Snape gets caught in it. Right?

[text]

[beforethewar]

[He can't stop the chuckle that bubbles up from him, but he can at least make sure it's soundless. And then, he switches to text as well.]

You have a point.

Did you get bored or something?

This is not late at all. Nope.

[everysecond]

[Riley's laughing when she sees this. Oh man. This is fantastic.]

That's what I'm talking about!

never late to pranks.

[littlesurvivor]

Better homework than doing math at least.

[According to Riley's wording. Yes, this is totally homework.]

[everysecond]

Pranks are always way more fun than math.

[Hey. You get an A, Clem.]

[digophelia]

[ Even if she hates her powers in this house, that gets a smile from her. ]

Are we having fun?

[littlesurvivor]

Alice! It's 'homework' from Riley.

video;

[digophelia]

Oh? And what does that entail aside from practicing your powers?
