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. ]

Chaos.

[He says the word with displeasure.]

Until someone finds the ear of the Vakdir.

And with it ongoing rebellions and death of innocent people.

Do you think this is the most likely outcome? Killing the leadership and leaving things in the wind seems like an awful course of action.
sololoquy: (i don't need your complications)

[personal profile] sololoquy 2018-04-21 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree.

[Not...about the death thing, obviously.]

I prefer a proper autocracy. But even a proper autocracy will not succeed without the correct leader.

Agreed, an autocracy with the right leader could thrive but there is too much resentment from the opposing sides.

The more I think of this, a good outcome seems less likely.

There is the matter of the temporal crystal as well.

[That must be playing a part in this somehow, but he hasn't thought of what that might be yet.]
vanto: (♟not what i planned at all)

[personal profile] vanto 2018-04-21 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[A thoughtful pause.] Huh, I had not given that much thought yet. You're right.
sololoquy: (and in the naked light i saw)

[personal profile] sololoquy 2018-04-22 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He is visibly pleased by Eli admitting that he is right.]

The temporal crystals can cause just as much chaos on their own.
vanto: (♟ stay alive from difficult decisions)

[personal profile] vanto 2018-04-22 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Would you suggest dealing with those first?

[How dare you make an argument that Thrawn actually agrees with, Kyle Ben. How dare you make that argument during a conversation with his student.

How dare!!!
