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. ]

We could look to their leaders, first. Determine if they have the qualities necessary to ensure long-term stability.

Qualities such as...? [ He'll trail off, considering the possibilities. ]

[ He ticks off ... ]

Discernment, charisma, foresight, will, and a certain amount of vision.

[ Is he describing himself? He's describing himself. ]

I suppose I've never met a leader who wasn't charismatic. Well, none that lasted very long. [ At least he sounds amused. ]

Precisely. So, we need someone with presence, first and foremost.

The city may want to place the ability to actually govern slightly ahead of presence.

You'd be surprised.

[ It's all about pop-u-lar. ]

I am never surprised, but do allow me to hope.

Seen everything, have you? I sometimes feel the same. But the universe is often quick to prove me wrong.

No, not everything. Even after two thousand years, there is still more to see in the universe.

After ten thousand, too.

Excellent. It seems I have much to look forward to.
