AUDIO. UN: LOKI.

[ 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. ]

I see the plot has thickened considerably.

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

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

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

[ 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.
banded: (okay. good. no more torture forever.)

Were you the one who stopped him?

[That kind of experience might help in the long term.]

[personal profile] dailydouble 2017-07-16 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
More than one of us was necessary to stop him.

[ It's a yes, but only as part of the whole. If he was entirely honest, he was rather distracted by Glee's injuries, at some of the key moments. ]

Indeed, and some of the most important pieces no less.

Huh ... well, the good thing is that there's more than one person in ALASTAIR.

[Look at the Bright Side: A Monday Morning Show with Scott McCall.]

Did that not count? Though I suppose I could find varying situations that I could again.

[ Ahad's brand of nihilism has always been very self focused. He's never entirely sympathized with those who expanded to the universe at large. ]

At the very least, this time it's unlikely to be family.

I'm mostly interested in seeing if we can convince this Zymandis agent to come to our side. Having inside knowledge could help us avoid them at the very least.

[personal profile] araigneedusoir 2017-07-16 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
Do you truly think she could be?

[While she totally agrees with the idea, she...has concerns. Then after a second:]

I suppose it won't hurt to at least try....

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

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

[personal profile] dailydouble 2017-07-16 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It took three gods, numerous godlings, and more than a few demons. ALASTAIR is somewhat under-powered, in comparison...

[ There's a clear trailing off here. In the end, it was a trick that stopped Kahl, while everyone else served as little more than distraction. ]

Repeat? In what way?

[ It's on the tip of his tongue to remind Loki that this isn't his rebirth narrative. ]

Many of the agents we have encountered have been righteous zealots committed to their cause. You think she could change her mind?

...I am not. Saying it is a bad idea. [His voice is a little stilted in saying so.] Simply that it is not an easy thing to do.
araigneedusoir: Bet you didn't think. It would happen to you (Malkaridae)

[personal profile] araigneedusoir 2017-07-16 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[She laughs quietly.]

I'd be more likely to do the latter rather than the former.
