Vern simply laughed as the girls from the Odin cabin harrassed him over the prank, already picking a target for the next one. He grinned at Josh after his advice, which he promptly ignored, and waved a hand airily.<br/>"Oh, they just can't take a joke. It wasn't even bad, I just made the cabin door look like it was over a few inches from the actual location. I guess they just didn't really inherit that whole wisdom part of your dad's domain. On a<span style="font-style: italic">totally</span>unrelated note, which one of your sisters hates bugs the most? I guess it doesn't really matter though," he proclaimed with a grin. "I mean, they'll all see it."<br/>With that vaguely unnerving statement, he stood up and stretched. "I'm gonna go get some of those pancakes. If you hear any screaming, it's not my fault. Just a disclaimer for ya."<br/>Sure enough, after a about a minute of Vern standing in line looking unassuming, an illusionary cockroach dropped from the ceiling over the Odin table. It landed right in the middle of his oldest sister's plate with a nice 'thwack.' A scream rang out from the table and he did his best to react appropriately, looking confused and concerned over at the two. He managed to hold back his laughter and seem innocent enough to shift the blame on another one of Loki's children, most of whom had just walked into the dining hall a minute before. Vern made his way back to the table after getting his pancakes, flopping back into his place next to Josh.<br/>"So, when's that sword coming? I look forward to the attempt," he said with a grin and a wink.
