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. ]

[ I mean? It seems better than inherited positions because of old blood. There's too much inexperience and bad qualities for spoiled kids to inherit the earth, after all. ]

That sounds like the right direction, then. Most appointments of power comes from my world comes through war. Taking a throne instead of being elected into it. Such a thing sounds good on paper, but — you're right. Corruption is a hard thing to remove unless you do so from its source.

[dailydouble]

That can happen anywhere, even if societies that are familiar with elections and the like. We are, perhaps, close to open conflict here. Such a thing can remove corruption, but also perpetuate it with a different group of leaders.

Whatever is done here will need to be carefully thought out.

[persists]

I admit, I'm a bit uneducated in the matter — so whichever route we take, I'd simply like to offer my hand in it when needed.

[ Luckily, she knows when to dial it back sometimes? ]

The accountability of a leader is crucial, to prevent this happening again. A different side of the same coin, you see.

[dailydouble]

Any help at all is welcome, no matter what route is taken.

Accountability is certainly key to any result that comes out of this.

[persists]

I miss when things were simple as hunting monsters...

[ She mutters, not much thinking of the implication of that. ]

[dailydouble]

Is that even simple?

[ What makes something monstrous? What gives someone the right to hunt one? It's never simple. ]
