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. ]

[Surprisingly, he seems rather unaffected by the call-out. Its exactly what the First Order did after the Empire was removed.
Sure, it took them 30 years, but it worked.]

[ It's why they're hosting this discussion in the first place. ]
If you are against democracy, what would you suggest instead?
no subject
[But he also knows that Ophelia would never favor it, so he isn't going to bother defending his choice.]
I only mean to point out that if democracy is the route the majority wishes to pursue, then the stage must be properly set for it. Else it will simply be overthrown once more.
no subject
[ He'll shrug here. Despite the way the majority of conversations are going, Ahad isn't actually that convinced that democracy is the best or only option. ]
Autocratic rule is very open to corruption, but that is only my experience.
