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. ]

This place doesn't cover that much land. Sorta.

It goes up, right? Wouldn't that make some people up there related to some people down here? Someone's gotta feel sorry for them.

Sympathy is something we could use. But we must consider that some of the fear the upper classes feel could be of losing their position and becoming just like everyone else.

And? What's wrong with that?! [This may be a bit of a sore spot by how defensive he immediately sounds.] Everyone's the same anyway! Just because they got some fancy buildings up there doesn't mean they aren't just like the people down here.

They should be afraid. When they're dead, they're all going in the same grave. Just like all those people in the Flowerlands.

[ That is very defensive. Ahad will pause here for a long moment. ]

It's human nature, to fear losing what you have. Addressing it like that may not be very helpful.
