VIDEO: @LOKIOFASGARD (with @beloved)

[selfimage]

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. ]

Everyone needs a say, but we need to organize our own before that can happen. There's quite a lot of noise, and far less coherent anything.

It'll put them on the offensive, unless we're legit.

We cannot march in and out and forget about the consequences.

[ that takes quite a lot for him to say. ]

[secondnature]

So, how do we give them a say?

[A beat. No, not just that:]

And make them know that it matters?

[selfimage]

That's a larger question. First we have to decide just how we're going to go about this.

[secondnature]

Which part of it?

[Just ... to be clear.]

[selfimage]

The whole make them know it matters part. They've been down in the dumps for so long, that it'll take quite the amount of proof to make them believe otherwise.

[secondnature]

Is there a way we can improve living conditions down there? Steal food and provide it to them?

[selfimage]

A little Robin Hooding, perhaps?

[secondnature]

I don't really try to pretend to be someone else.

But that's the idea.

[selfimage]

I used it as a verb to be specific.

Otherwise, yes! Let's show the upper levels that they're nice stuff isn't safe.

[secondnature]

Shouldn't we focusing more on food than just their "nice stuff"?

[selfimage]

Can we settle on nice food?

Besides, we all deserve something nice once in a while.

[secondnature]

Let's just make sure we can get them food first.

And then we'll see about getting them Christmas presents.

Or. Whatever it is they celebrated here. Since I assume they can't anymore.

[selfimage]

Ugh—Christmas ... [ he's probably talking to himself. ] Those mortals celebrating turned my father jolly ... jolly! [ Keith!!! ]

No Christmas! [ he waves his fingers. ] We'll stick with whatever.

[secondnature]

What?

[????]

[selfimage]

You really don't want to know.

[secondnature]

Okay.

I won't ask.
