VIDEO: @LOKIOFASGARD (with @beloved)

Well, hello!

[ it's Loki, decked out in his civvies, green hoodie and fingerless gloves, working his magitek like he's trying to take a selfie. behind him is the backdrop of the middle levels, dimly lit in the dreary evening. there's a flash of a half smile to Team Ophelia, and when he speaks again it's in a wistful, casual tone. ]

It seems that we've landed ourselves a doozy, hm? The poor souls in Rost are are ready for a little revolution, but haven't a solid plan for the rest. [ he makes vague, spread-finger gesture, and his expression says that he's excited about the prospect of an uprooting. ] But like every ready and willing revolution, there should—hm, well ... probably be some longer term changes following it, right?

It's not exactly in the mission specs, which is wringing out the corruption and all ... nor is solidity my specialty, buu-uu-ut!


[ the camera angle changes, as Ahad reaches into the frame and adjusts Loki's arm. they've managed to squish together so that they're both easily viewable, from Loki's magitek. ]

But it would be irresponsible, to leave without ensuring that they have a plan for for governance post-mission. While the ultimate solution should be left up to the people of Drakstaden, [ he says, as if this is a foregone conclusion that requires no debate, ] perhaps we could offer suggestions? What has been successful, in your own worlds?

[ Loki's head is half obscured by the video while he changes the angle to put a pair of wiggly rabbit ears behind Ahad's head. ] That means the suggestion box is open! Let's get a team effort, hm?


[ Note: there will be Loki & Ahad out! they might be nosy in eachother's threads. feel free to thread hop if that's a thing you wanna do!! we encourage it. ]

A democracy is a form of government, and an election suggests a democracy. Thought that'd be pretty obvious. I guess there are a lot of kids here, though.

[ Maybe you're one of them? ]

An election does not suggest a democracy. There are many types of governments that utilize elections.

[ It's said very slowly, as if he's the one speaking to a child. ]

Democracy, republic, et cetera. The point is that they need to make their own decisions.

Anyway, you can waste time with semantics, or you can offer a real opinion. Your choice.

The point was to gather opinions from everyone. I am already aware of my own.

Thank you, for your contribution.

Are you planning to share it?

Let everyone rule. Their technology is advanced enough to allow for it, as long as the voting system is protected.

[ He'll shrug, still uncomfortable at sharing even that. ] Politics is not my nature, and I will always choose more freedom over less.

You mean let the entire population make a decision on all policy?

[ Hmm. ]

That would definitely be leaving things in their hands.

I make no claims about how efficient a system it would be.
