VIDEO. UN: LOKI.

Hello there.

[ Loki's standing on the porch of the ashen saloon, black bones against a dusky horizon. ]

Another day saved, another mission over ... [ he says it in an "all in a day's work" sort of tone. a finger twists and he gestures outward. ]

As the story continues! [ the drawl comes from his lips slowly, as if for dramatic effect. ]

We've met our arch-foes, saved a part of the fractured multiverse from apparent destruction and preserved the integrity of the timeline—erm, hopefully on the last two, anyway. In light of current events, and while we all cool down, I thought we'd play with a little fun hypothetical to stimulate conversation. Call it something that's been on my mind. So, riddle me this, Audentes ...

If saving a world meant destroying it—you know, kind of like a hard reset—what would you do? Would you do it, let it die and get coffee instead, or would you fight with tooth and axe for its survival, despite all odds? All methods in between, of course, feel free to be creative.

[ sometimes, some things remind him all too much of Ragnarok. ]

Destruction is a weak solution.

[ There's a sigh, before he continues. ] Even Anwick did involve saving lives.

The last time a universe needed mending, a Trickster managed it.

[ There's a weighty pause here. ] ...this is not an endorsement of his solution.

I'm insinuating that I have never known a trickster that is lacking in ideas.

[ Loki can probably hear the eye-rolling in his voice. ] However, I never claimed that they were uniformly good ideas.

That is not as reassuring as you might imagine.

No, I wouldn't number it among them.

[ There's a slight pause here. ] Not that I intend to number them.

Countless is not the word I would use.
