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. ]

You don't traffic much in optimism, do you?

[evenslimmer]

No.

[ Blunt as hell. ]

But criticism isn't the same as pessimism, and it doesn't mean it's a bad idea. It's just an incomplete idea. So far this is shaping up to be more complex than Hanabira. We can't just wing it with the details and hope it works for best.

[forcevisions]

Good. [ that there's a distinction and he recognizes it. ] Because I think we can do it. We just need to get up to the upper levels and take a look around to gather more information.

[evenslimmer]

[ Okay but Rey did you miss the part where those were not hypothetical questions Scott was asking. ]

We, who? Which we? Loki? What information do you think it is we should be looking for, and what is our pitch going to be?

[ OR does she like...expect to just hand the idea off and someone like Scott puts together the details.

Is that what's happening here. ]

[forcevisions]

We as in the team. Finding the answers to all those questions you were asking.

[ She's very simple, Scott, give her a break. This is more strategizing than she's ever done in her life. ]

[evenslimmer]

[ Does he look like the kind of guy who "gives breaks"? ]

You didn't have anyone in mind when you pictured it?

[forcevisions]

Myself?

[ She's trying s-so hard. ]

[evenslimmer]

[ UNEXPECTED ANSWER. ]

...you want to put yourself out there on that? Trying to get the upper class on our side?

[ IT'S NOT...LIKE SHE'D BE THE WORST PERSON TO SEND it's just surprising is all. ]

[forcevisions]

I didn't say I thought I'd be good at it, but I'm not going to ask anyone else to do something if I'm not willing to try it myself.
