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'm the one asking a question here.

[What truce?]

Yes or no.
sololoquy: (the liars)

["I'm the one asking a question here" earns Keith a very irritated Kylo face.]

I will not be interrogated by you at your whim.
secondnature: (matching shiro!!!!)

Well ... I'm teaching her now. Alongside you.

I should know what she's being taught.
sololoquy: (when it's your fault)

[personal profile] sololoquy 2018-04-21 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He knows, in his heart of hearts, that Keith is just trying to make him mad.

It's working. A lot.]


Then you may ask her yourself.

[Two can play this game. Its almost like he forgot Loki has perfect view of this whole conversation.]

Or...do you not trust her?
secondnature: (THIS SUCKS)

[personal profile] secondnature 2018-04-21 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[It's not just that. Keith has been trying to figure out how much of Rey's weirdness (by his own perception) is because of stuff she heard from him. So, the very face value part of this conversation is ... that he wants to know.]

I don't trust your point of view when it comes to politics.
sololoquy: (people writing songs)

[personal profile] sololoquy 2018-04-21 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'm wounded.

[He's not.

He's also still not answering that question, because he wants to be pedantic.]
secondnature: (yeah i know i'm a mecha pilot)

[personal profile] secondnature 2018-04-21 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Let me guess. You don't trust the people to do what's right for themselves because of what happened in your world.

[Or what he perceives happened. Two seconds of a conversation with Lotor tells Keith that unreliable narrators exist.

Or he's decided they exist.

Because that's a convenient excuse.]
sololoquy: (i don't need your complications)

[personal profile] sololoquy 2018-04-21 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Experience is the best teacher. Perhaps you should search for some yourself. I'm sure you would make a fine Prime Minister.

[Its ok, now Kylo Ren is just being an asshole.]
secondnature: (you used my socks for WHAT)

[personal profile] secondnature 2018-04-21 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
What?

[The word falls from his mouth immediately. Followed by:]

What are you even talking about? That has nothing to do with what we're discussing.
sololoquy: (and no one dare)

[personal profile] sololoquy 2018-04-21 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
You seek to claim that I am unable to make a judgement, because I am tainted by experience. As if -- experience is to be discredited.

[He makes a face, like he's tasting the sentence that just came out of his mouth and decided he didn't like it.]

What sort of experience with government do you have?
secondnature: (why did you eat all the eggs?)

[personal profile] secondnature 2018-04-21 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
You know about the war I'm fighting.

[Keith is well aware that this isn't enough of an answer, but he isn't going to add more to it.]
sololoquy: (a warning to)

[personal profile] sololoquy 2018-04-21 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That does not answer my question.

[But it does wordlessly prove his point.]

You are welcome to your opinions on me, and the subject at hand. But do not question for a moment whether or not my opinions come from a well-informed background.

[Filled with propaganda and corruption but. Informed.]
secondnature: (moody moody moody)

[personal profile] secondnature 2018-04-22 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Because there's someone here who left the First Order because he knew it was a bad thing.

And you don't. Why is that?
