{12th Gunshot; Video}

[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?]

[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.]

[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.]

[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?

[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.]

[She huffs a bit, but it's a little kid so she's not going to be too pissed. She's still a little pissed, but it's fading in the face of little kid.]

Sorry to disappoint.

[Okay, so that was a whole lot of sarcasm.]

I can set it up again easy. Want to watch? Maybe we might get one of the teachers.

[Clementine shifts a little to stand, waving her hand and controlling the shadows to clean up and sprinkle it from the ground back up to the fan, though it takes a few moments as she gets the shadows to 'vacum' it all up from the floor. There's a mischievous grin at her lips as she raises one finger to them.]

[She watches as the shadows do their thing, her head tipping to the side as they go.]

That's shadow control, right? From Hel?

[She's making a wild guess here.]

My power? Yeah. I used to be in Sigyn, with the healing. But then I went home and ended up changing houses as a result.

[Which may well be concerning, given how young Clementine is and what being in Hel house usually means - being surrounded by death. Still blaming herself for what happened to Lee. Her expression falters slightly as she answers and explains vaguely.]

[She didn't realize that you could change houses. She figured once you were claimed you were claimed.]

Did you ask to change? Or did you just come back with a new power?

[Because that seems counter intuitive.]

I didn't ask. Just last time when I came back from home I was in Hel instead of Sigyn.

[Clementine gives a shrug. Of course she is aware of the reasons why she was changed Houses, the sort of reputation Hel has. Surrounded by death. There's a reason most would probably be upset or hesitant that a girl her age is in that particular house.]

[Cora isn't really phased by it. Whether it's because she doesn't know or because she was also a little girl surrounded by death once, but instead channeled that fear and anger into power and prowess.]

That's weird. You'd thing they'd want you to get good with one power instead of flip flopping us to different ones.

You'd think. Guess it depends on stuff back home though. I mean, each time I went home....a lot happened, really. Which I guess is why I changed which House I'm in here.

[Clementine tries to answer and explain, though Cora's guess is as good as hers, really. She dismisses the shadows when they're finished cleaning and resetting the glitter.]

So, you joining me or...?

[Cora considers for a moment, before shrugging. Why not? She takes a step back and goes to move into the closet first since she may be tiny in general, she's still bigger.]

I'm Cora.

[Because polite people introduce themselves.]

Clementine.

[She introduces herself, ensuring they are both in the closet and nearly shuts it, letting in enough of a gap for them to see and possibly record if anyone does come by and glittered.]

[This is the part where they should stay quiet so Cora does so, not that she's all that loquacious to begin with. She glances back to the ceiling fan, wishing she still had her hearing so that she could know if someone was coming.

Being human kinda sucks sometimes.]

[Clementine simply gives a nod, pressing her fingers to her lips and waiting. She's only ever been human, so her healing, and then shadow control powers are simply a bonus. She's got as much chance of hearing someone coming as Cora does at any rate.

So she waits. Patiently. Quietly. She's used to this. Hiding. Though more often nowadays back home its from walkers. The pranks had been put on hold until more recently thanks to Riley.]

[Cora hasn't exactly had the easiest past few years either. She's been on her own since she was about Clementine's age as well, so running and hiding are pretty much the only things she knows how to do really well where it doesn't make a difference if she's a human or a werewolf - the skill set is still the same.

That being said, she just presses her ear to the far wall, trying in vain to see if she can hear footsteps coming.]

Can you hear anything? Anyone coming yet?

[Ideally she would have chosen a more public area, but at the same time she needed to be alone to be able to set it up, so couldn't choose somewhere more busy if she wanted the chance to do this at all. It could be a bit before anyone might show up. She shifts as best she can to try see or hear anything herself.]

[She makes a face after a moment and starts to shake her head, but then her feeble human hearing starts to pick up on footsteps and she nods, placing a finger to lips as they watch some hapless NPC native wander their way through and into the room as though they're looking for something.]

[Clementine shifts, quiet as she also picks up the noise, biting her lip and smiling in anticipation. Carefully, she peeks out to watch, using her shadow control to flick on the fan and watches as the glitter rains down on the poor boy as he stands there initially dumbstruck watching the glitter fall. She giggles, a hand over her mouth to try stiffle the noise, his reaction too hilarious for her to contain the laughter.]

[Cora's laughter is more silent, evident in the soft rumbling of her chest as she crouches down closer to get a better look at the poor boy. He's waving his hands, trying to get the glitter off of his clothes, but when he hears the sound of someone laughing, his head snaps up.

Cora quickly grabs Clementine, pulling her away from the mouth of the closet and turning her body slightly so that she's muffling the sound of her giggles. She's not sure how the natives feel about pranks from Travelers but she'd rather not find out if it's unfavorable.]

[Oh, crap. Clementine quickly scrambles back with Cora, eyes wide as the boy seems to look around and ignore the door. Rather, if he tries, he'll find Clem's shadow control keeping him from opening the door, hopefully making him assume its just some locked supply cupboard. Quickly quieting down once he seemed to have heard them given she is so used to much more possibly worse consequences to getting caught back home with the walkers and other survivors.]

[They wait for the native to try the door, blink at it confused for a moment, before deciding to turn and head on his glitter covered way. Cora shifts to the wall to listen to the sound of retreating footsteps, before pulling back with a smirk.]

He's gone.

Whew. That's good. Still--that was....pretty funny. Did you see his face?

[She giggles, biting her lip and bringing a hand back up to cover her mouth. She hasn't done anything like this in years, really. Forgot how fun it was. How simple and carefree it is to just....well, act her age. She forgot all about that, dealing with survivors and the walkers back home.

But she doesn't take long to clean up either, using her shadow control.]

[Cora smiles a bit as she nods.]

Yeah, that was pretty good. I haven't done something like that since I was a kid.

[And it's been a long, long time since she actually felt like a kid.]

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

totally works.
