[ tap, tap—is this thing on? ]

Well, Audentes, it’s certainly be a trip. [ and he says that with finger quotes. ] Out of the frying pan and into the fire, that should be our motto.

[ for someone stuck in a maze, Loki still manages to find his confidence. ]

As we take a stroll through the maze and await the next hit single of its proprietor, I—or we, rather—would like to share a few words with you. Our Zymandis tag-a-long has spoken with us regarding some of our curiosities.

Unlike ALASTAIR, Zymandis has a fully functional chain of command, all the way from the higher ups to the underlings. Commanders and sub-commanders and the whole bit, going all the way to the tippy top under their leader … you know—Leader. [ he’s just gonna add that right in on there as a good rub. ] They recruit based on volunteers, and have seen their own share of those slipping through the cracks in the multiverse to end up where they are. It seems that this Mavahari is indebted to them through her rescue, and has pledged her life to follow their blah blah blah rebirth narrative blah blah blah.

Not only that, but they believe that the rebirth itself will prevent the next shatter of our dear multiverse. If the entropy is allowed to play out as is, the result will be much of what happens with Surtur gets his hands on something—burnt to a crisp.

Now, we’re not here to start another back-and-forth, however … we still do have the little detail of our Zymandis stowaway. She’s a political assassin, so I’d suggest not doing much to anger her. [ he’s looking at you Thor. ] For now at least.

[ OOC NOTE | please feel free to threadjack, discuss, &c! the thread with the Zymandis agent is here for all who'd like to reference it. ]

You know, I had hoped to go at least a century before encountering someone else who wished to destroy and remake the universe.

[ He intentionally sounds more put-upon than he actually is, but the point still stands. ]

Was it a lot of someones or just someone for you?

[He recognizes Ahad's voice, so there is that.]

[dailydouble]

[ It's not that Ahad forgets that he allowed the device to choose a name, but it usually doesn't matter much. At the very least, Scott hasn't asked about his name yet. ]

One. He was nearly successful, before he died.

[selfimage]

There's always that someone, isn't there?

[ as if he hadn't been that someone, before. ]

I see the plot has thickened considerably.

[cachemoney]

Thankfully. I don't like being in the dark, so it's nice to have the pieces start to fall into place.

[selfimage]

You should use that as an opening line.

[ex_mettacrusher33]

Did she suggest in any way that she is open to constructive criticism?

[selfimage]

While she wasn't extreme in her way of thinking, she seemed to resonate with Zymandis' message. It would be difficult to sway her on the basis of theory alone—she owes them a debt.

[ and if she's anything like Loki's sister, then she's not about to let that go any time soon. ]

What makes them think that "rebirth" will fix anything?

[selfimage]

They've got a bug up their ass about it. [ in the way that he's entirely unimpressed about the whole thing. ] As if it were a calling.

[sheriffing]

Why do they always want a do-over?

[ not this one specific they, it's the pattern of it that's pissing Emma off.]

[selfimage]

Something about the total destruction of the multiverse, and the renewal of life, blah blah blah ...

[scarredhorns]

[Nyuu's been doing more listening than speaking for the most part, but she eventually throws in her own two cents.]

Why do people resort to violence?

audio; un: wanda

[scarletcast]

Is she communicating with them currently?

audio: un: fiona

[cachemoney]

She didn't say, but I doubt it. If we can't get ahold of Oska, why would she be able to contact... whatever Zymandis's base is called? [ZHQ?]

[flashbanging]

[ McCree puffs on his cigarillo, then lets it dangle out of the corner of his mouth, just barely clenched between his teeth. ]

So what are you thinkin' we oughta do about her?

[selfimage]

Use it.

She's honor bound, and we could use a helper on the inside.

[deemed]

[He's out in the maze, otherwise he'd simply find his brother and speak to him directly about this-]

What does it concern us if she is angered? She is our prisoner. [100% predictable.]

audio; un: fiona

[cachemoney]

Uhhh, did I miss something? We're all prisoners.

[selfimage]

[ there's a little sigh. ]

That may not be the most beneficial way of looking at it.

oh my god is their leader's name seriously Leader

[zeroing in on the Important parts of this post]

[selfimage]

Mr. Leader to you, I'm sure.

[ it's not at all. ]

[mistruths]

Do you believe her words to be truth?

[ HE SOUNDS GENUINELY CURIOUS but also I mean that probably sounds faintly mocking too idk ]

A political assassin might say anything at all.

[ also we're not going to talk about that little surtur mention. not now, at least. ]

[selfimage]

One nice thing about being a liar is that you have a tendency to be able to spot one.

[ he says easily. ]

She would have had to woven an elaborate lie for the questions we asked of her. I believe that she owes a debt.
