(Immediately After the Kidnapping)

[ngm_adults]

Kristoff arrived precisely on time for his sister's next lesson, being careful not to trigger any Avengers security protocols as he waited in the appropriate point and rang the doorbell.

"My sympathies." Didn't say much for the alternate-Doom's competence, but then, little that Kristoff knew did. He gets to moving the right materials about.

"Thank you. Mine to you as well.

Are you most comfortable with Norwegian, Old Norse, or Latin? There's some flexibility within the spell, and I want to make sure the verbal components are as accurate as possible." Vincent continues on, because talking about Mother still hurts still focused on the spell construction.

"I'll need you to burn four candles halfway down, placed in the cardinal directions. Leave one still burning, and place a dish of water and a piece of iron ore, unprocessed, at two of the remaining three directions. I'll fetch the personal affects I need to attune the spell to Audhild from our home." He says with perhaps a bit more emphasis than necessary, as he finishes an equation surrounded by a spell notation and stands up again.

"My Old Norse is Adequate, but classical Latin will probably work best with that particular technique anyway, so all for the best." And Kristoff will get to work.

Vincent returns a short while later with a pair of Audhild's pajamas, some hair taken from her brush, and her favorite drinking glass. He orients them with the points for the cardinal directions and elemental materials, exhaling heavily over one point to provide 'air'. He goes over the verbal components, establishing what signals he'll give Kristoff to enact them at what times, and finally gingerly steps into the circle. He takes his wallet from his pocket and produces a small photo of Audhild, holding it in cupped hands as he seats himself.

"I am ready to find m--" he pauses, taking a breath, and altering his choice of words, even as he avoids Kristoff's gaze. "--to find our sister, Dr Vernard."

And yet, he wavers, not yet giving Kristoff the signal, as his earlier concerns about tipping their hand to Loki come back to him.

What if I fail?

A years-old flinch briefly rushes through his muscles.

Re: Consulate

Yeah. They've got a sister to find. "Vincent."

Re: Consulate

[vincent_amora]

He's jarred back to his senses. There is simply not time for self-doubt.

Vincent gives his brother Kristoff a hand signal and turns his focus inwards. He lets his awareness fall upon his memories of his sister, and his awareness of that which lies at the core of himself. The unmistakable presence of that which is not mortal. The spark that speaks of his Asgardian blood. The Odinforce.

That particular combination of Amora and von Doom which only exists in one other being in this reality.

If all his calculations and spellwork test true, like will attract like.

And Audhild?

She is thinking very loudly in Vincent's direction. They are in a cold place and it looks like they will be approaching the Golden City itself. She tries her best to send that image to Vincent.

Re: Consulate

[vincent_amora]

It hits him like a splash of cold water, and he sends back a clear and emphasized message.

He is coming to take her home.

Vincent opens up a comm channel to Avengers Mansion, and layers a spell on top of it to reach anyone there who might not be listening to a speaker.

"Loki has my sister and he's taking her to Asgard. I am going there. Anyone hearing this can either help or stay out of my way. I'll be returning to the mansion shortly to collect any volunteers."

He rises from the center of the spellwork and nods sharply to Kristoff. "There's no time to lose."
