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. ]

I'd suggest we be delicate about it no matter what. Uh, if possible. [Sometimes it's not!!] Are you worried things might not be fixable if it gets too bloody?

[ he's not used to voicing it, but he does, for clarity's sake. ]
One will be traded for another—in times of unrest, it's easy to seize power. I'm a revolutionary, but I'm rather lacking where stability is concerned.
I know something needs to change, they know that too. It's just making sure it does.

They need a little push. We can't be completely hands off, or nothing will get done.

If we weren't called here for the bigger picture, then why bother?
no subject
I'm not interested in constructing something that doesn't affect us and then shipping out to who knows where. And no one else should be interested in that, either.

Yes, but we were called into purge corruption. We can't avoid what the purge brings—or how we conduct ourselves during it. It's the difference between dragging a dictator through the streets and conducting a quiet assassination.
Either way, the people will be affected, and we have to deal with what that may bring. Saying that one part of that is our responsibility, and we should ignore the rest and saddle it with those in this city ... hm, well ...
Get my drift?
no subject
Saddling? The responsibility and freedom to manage your own future is a good thing. It's not a burden we need to help them shoulder. It's something we should be putting all in their hands because it's the right thing to do.
Which is why I said we should include them in this conversation, to know what they want.

[ there's an exasperated sigh. ]
We know what to expect out of each other.
