DECEMBER 6TH | VIDEO | UN: LOKI

[ While the jailbreak ends and everyone goes back to their lives as fugitives, three (four, including another one on another important mission) gods have put it upon themselves to have a kidnapping. There's the familiar face of Michel, placed unceremoniously upright on a stump, a paper bag over his head supporting a cheesy looking inked smiley. Loki, stepping back like she's adjusting a camera, waves a hand toward him in a long, lackadaisical motion. Let no one say that Loki didn't have a flair for dramatics. ]

We've got it in the bag, or so the mortals say. Ah—shall we do introductions?

Everyone! I present the leader of the Order of the Chimera himself, Mister Michel, straight from the slammer. With circumstances as they are, we thought it best that he didn't make a further mess of things. On the more unfortunate side, that makes all of us super double traitors, both to the crown and the Order ...
[ jazz hands!!! ] To the least, the history books will name us resourceful ones. ... you know, if they don't erase of us entirely. It has to be something about the job description ...

[ She's not alone, both Thor and Ahad stand behind her, the darkly cloaked Thunderer with his arms folded and Ahad fingering a cigarillo. Loki straightens the lapels of her jacket and gives a long glance back at the two of them. ]

He's been kind of enough to answer a few of our questions, but it's been—ah, less than enlightening.

[ Which is when Thor move forward, arms loosening though his gaze remains hard on Michel. Or at least, his paper bag. ]

He speaks of his gods as if in conference with them. If they find the schism between peoples here unnatural then have them present a solution that is not blotting out the sun and throwing the realm under their care into chaos. [ A growl rumbles in the back of his throat as he paces to one side. ] He could not send a message, as he said, unless he were first a messenger. I would meet with these gods, if they live elsewhere than his excuses.

[ And likely demand they guide their people if things are so dire. Or introduce their faces to Mjolnir, at this rate, instead of letting one of a pair of brothers lapse into magic-fueled madness … not that Thor is personally touched by any of this, no. ]

[ Meanwhile, Ahad simply sighs, remaining in his position in the background. There's one further practical consideration, which he means to address. ]

If there are any useful questions from the rest of you, we can attempt to pose them.


NOTE | There's Thor, Ahad and Loki. If you want one specifically, please let us know. Also, feel free to have seen them at the jailbreak! They got in > got Michel > teleported out, but the three of them were there briefly. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me!! xoxox!

Right, because we want to have the same kind of relationship with him. Good will is so overrated. ( don't mind her, sometimes she's acerbic even to the Void. as much good as it will do it at least feels nice. )

Since you've been here longer, tell me, what could you see the solution being? What does this world want?

perma_banned: (never finished that book)

[personal profile] perma_banned 2015-12-13 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, but it'd be dumb if you used me as a measurin' stick for that kinda reaction~.

I'd mess around just for fun.
inroad: have to put a jello shot recipe into an excel spreadsheet. (never in a million years thought I would)

Can't argue there. His brother's communication somewhat suggests this further. You don't look after family that's willing to smother you from the get go. There's an attachment or an obligation to watch out for him.

...Maybe we've been looking at this wrong and that's our real trouble with finding things out.
perma_banned: (reminiscing about murder)

[personal profile] perma_banned 2015-12-13 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Heh! Or, the guy would just puke his brains out from anger~.

[A light hearted jab at his own expense wasn't out of the question.]

I inspire that kinda reaction in people.
wright_idea: so I can credit you!) (Why am I even listening to this)

[personal profile] wright_idea 2015-12-13 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
W-well, that's...

[He looks down for a bit, then back up.]

A-anyway, it doesn't matter what their morals are. I have my own morals, and they say that torturing people is wrong, okay?
wright_idea: (Eh heh.)

[personal profile] wright_idea 2015-12-13 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He pulls it out of his pocket. It's a small, green gem that gives off a slight glow.]

It's called the magatama. I'm not sure how much help it'll be, but if I can actually help contribute something, I'd be more than willing to.

[ Loki's a good--well, that's arguable--influence on Kida in the sense that she shifts her away from thinking in extremes.

Kida considers the proposition. ]


Do you think Michel can change? [ What's more: ] Do you think it is our place to change the system here? Should it not be more...organic?

[ She can't help but think of Anwick. The words 'natural end' come to mind. ]

[ Ignorance can be bliss. In fact, Kida's finding out first-hand how true that is, as each new discovery puts the suffering of her people into sharper focus.

But she's tired of ignorance. She's tired of not knowing, not understanding. ]


We are lucky to have you both, then. I would not have been able to snare him like this. What of the brother?

[ She blinks, surprised at the question, because it's one she's never been asked before. ]

Nothing will happen to him. [ But if he's powerful... Even when she connected to Mikoto and tried so hard to reach the Slate, it was--she herself who fainted. ] ...If it'll help, I'm prepared.
rosing: (01)

[personal profile] rosing 2015-12-13 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ She blinks again, trying to understand the question. As far as she's concerned, lies are lies, whether it's Izumo omitting the truth and covering up for Mikoto, or a man losing his true self and living in his self-created illusion. ]

I... [ Don't know, but the words die on her lips because she's not sure she should admit to weakness as a King. ] ...I have always been able to see through lies.

[ Loki's also handling this very poorly. Surprise excuses some of it, but not everything. ]

Did you have questions about any of this?

[ At least Ahad can be solicitous. ]
dailydouble: (pic#6323404)

[personal profile] dailydouble 2015-12-13 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I take that as a compliment.

[personal profile] dailydouble 2015-12-13 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I grow tired of being asked to show 'good will', when none is given in return.

What the world wants depends entirely on who you ask. Everyone wants something different.
dailydouble: (pic#8833855)

[personal profile] dailydouble 2015-12-13 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I will remove your name from the list of those who offered.
dailydouble: (pic#6379794)

[personal profile] dailydouble 2015-12-13 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
The brother is safe, at the moment. I do not know his location. [ For reasons of security, really. ]
dailydouble: (pic#8833857)

[personal profile] dailydouble 2015-12-13 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
And to you? [ He's noticed that omission. ]

[ Unable to really stop it from happening, Dorian laughs a little bit because he can so sympathize with that. ]

No need. I certainly understand the need of comfort and good wine. May your efforts for such be expedient, my good man.
underthings: (19)

[personal profile] underthings 2015-12-13 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed it appears that way. I suppose I should wish you luck in such an endeavor.

[ . . . ]

And suggest a revision of such a statement.

[ He makes an unimpressed sort of noise. Sinister and charming don't belong together. –Even if he could claim he's been called that once or twice while in Skyhold. ]

A poor statement, I'd imagine. I've seen noble masks with more personality.
dailydouble: (pic#6965052)

[personal profile] dailydouble 2015-12-13 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Expedience is entirely relative. [ He will only go so far for proper behavior and morals are a lost cause, but a quick and convenient end would be a plus. ]

We will likely need to move him, before then.
