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. ]

I'm afraid the "multiverse" is a bit out of the range of my abilities.

They're produced by resonance, and only hold the weight that the universe gives them. I doubt we'll cross them, our missions are only focused on anything of substance.

[however, it's no different from human souls, is it not? all those souls festering away in what they were promised was a peaceful afterlife, never really knowing if they'll ever meet up with their loved ones again, left to die and be reborn again, while only a small handful have the spiritual wherewithal to become shinigami. they're important to the balance, the cycle of souls, but that's all they are- resonance, echoes of human life produced over and over again. and there's really no helping that.] I can't deny it makes sense.

No value is a tad bit extreme. [ calculating mortal value of these sorts of things on higher level never seemed to work out in the same way. ] They're more of a consequence. Expectations built into reality, just as it echoes through our own universes, influencing our own actions.
So, I take it you've never met another self of yours.
no subject
No, but I take it you have.
[he's not sure he wants to meet another version of himself. that wouldn't end well for anyone.

[ there had been the mayflies, there had been the past, and then there had been King Loki. thinking of him still left a foul taste in his mouth. the Loki that would be his ass. ]
We'll talk about the tapestry thing again when you do.
