DECEMBER 6TH | VIDEO | UN: LOKI

[selfimage]

[ 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!

[ oh my god what the hell he gets stuck in jail and you guys legit turn Them all into the biggest traitors out there? ]

...let me get this straight. We get arrested along with the order, our group has absolutely no idea or ability how to get us out of there and still try to dangle bullshit over the Order's head when one of them offers to actually alliance with us for the same cause... and then we go and double cross them?

[selfimage]

Technically no. Technically we fulfilled our part of the bargain. We kept Arthur safe, we got his brother out. Michel has an opportunity to tell us his side of this whole thing. He could have a point, depending.

It's the good kind of being a traitor. The one that saves people from the unpleasantness known as dying.

[ Try though he might to make sense of this, Cullen can't. He mulls over whether he ought to expose his ignorance, then decides that he isn't going to be useful if he doesn't know what in the Void is going on. ]

I'm sorry, I thought we were meant to be working for a legitimate organization. Is that not so?

[ Forgive him, he's a new recruit. ]

[adlantisag]

Well done, the three of you.

[ Someone sounds impressed. Or maybe she's just happy to see THIS ASSHOLE get his dues. There's a rapidly-fading bruise beneath her eye, but otherwise whatever mark remains of her incarceration, it isn't physical. ]

Who are these gods of his? Do they have names? [ A beat. ] Ydite?

[inroad]

[ while he can see the point of argument as valid all the way through to the traitor, he isn't sure if this is going to prevent people from dying. ]

What, can he not do anything just sitting there? Does he have to do extra stuff to invoke that power or something?

[respired]

[Koltira's fresh to this whole situation, but he's been here long enough and asked enough questions to know that this man is the architect of their current woes.]

What do you plan to do with him?

[perma_banned]

Heyyyy. Now, this is interestin'.

[Waving a bottle of ale around between his fingertips, Ban snuck in a chuckle.]

I'm pretty good at torture if you need help~.

[grunehexe]

[She has to compose herself before she takes to replying to this post. Loki and... company certainly sprung something on them, now didn't they?]

I would see his face.

[It's not that she doesn't trust you, but.]

[selfimage]

Well, I say we've made it considerably more difficult. He's not the only one that has a penchant for sorcery, here.

Do you want me to relay the question?

[ she pauses. ]

Also, does your face do that thing all the time? Inquiring minds.

[ what thing, Loki. what thing??? ]

voice ( un: pavus )

[underthings]

[ He's not sure what any of this actually means or who these people are, but he's going to get to the Important things here. ]

A paper bag. Truly? At least use burlap to afford the man a breath or two. I can't imagine anyone wanting to supply information in such a fashion. [ a beat, then; ] The art could use a little work as well.

[selfimage]

[ for someone so sketchy, Loki has no problem flitting along and doing her own thing. a little double-crossing here, a little doing what she wants there ...

she's not exactly on board with ALASTAIR, but there's a nagging, anxious feeling about the whole thing that she doesn't let show. ]

You'll have to define "legitimate."

[burdenoftruth]

Loki?

[Her tone is surprised and also kind of hints at her questioning the wisdom of what is happening.]

What the hell?

[inroad]

I don't think he'd be honest in his answer even if you relayed it.

But I do want to know why he is so angry that he is willing to hurt himself as well as fellow order members in the process. He either knows things we don't or he's just crazy. [ or both...

and damn it Loki this feels like a trap but it's the kind he can't help but just fall face first into it anyway. ]

What thing?

[selfimage]

[ thank the Norns it's Kida. ]

Thank you, thank you. [ she waves her hand. ] There will be an autograph session later.

[ Loki tips her head in Kida's direction. ]

We could ask. Gods seems a little contrary to what we've been hearing, doesn't it?

[officer]

[ It's a fair demand for clarification. He considers for a moment. ]

It was my understanding that we're meant to be aiding people, not subverting the government.

[ Maker, but he hates politics. He sighs. ]

Or is doing so the method by which we provide aid?

[selfimage]

[ Loki looks at Koltira, and then back at Michel, and then back at Koltira again. ]

He probably won't go on that date with me now, will he? With the whole kidnapping thing tossed in there.

[respired]

[Koltira isn't entirely humorless, but his reserves are woefully lacking.]

Cute. You know what I mean.

[selfimage]

If they won't let me adorn him in proper fugly holiday attire then you don't get to torture him.

[ wow Ban, fugly sweaters are torture. maybe. kind of. but they're also fun!!! ]

Your kind sounds considerably more hurty.

[adlantisag]

[ Someone has to be on board with this savagery ig. You'd think she'd be opposed to kidnap and torture--and she is, to be fair--but anything that gets them a step closer to a sun in the sky is worth trying, at this point.

Plus Michel is a douche. Fuck that guy. ]

It does. Ydite is the only god we know by name, and only the goblins invoke him.

[ An arched brow. ]

Or so goes the wisdom.

[selfimage]

[ knowing Loki always comes with fun surprises, only half of them bitter betrayal!!! ]

Ah-ah-ah, careful. [ she shakes a finger. ] The bag is enchanted. Can't let any silly little spells pass through his lips when he's not answering a question.

[grunehexe]

[foiled- though admittedly, in a clever way, she can't fault such precautions]

I heard talk of a spell book... Does he claim the gods gifted that upon him?

Video: un: turnabout

[wright_idea]

[Are you kidding me?! Looks like we're just as good as ever at winning friends and influencing people.]

Would've been nice if we'd known that's what you were planning AHEAD of schedule.

[Once the shock wears off, he stops to think.]

Uh... you say he's not answering questions very effectively? The truth is, I might have something that could help with that...

[perma_banned]

Weeeeell, it ain't like he's gonna talk if you just toss him in funny clothes.

[Ban pinched the air between two fingers a few times, mimicking how one might snag a hair from someone's scalp.]

Hair, fingernails, teeth--a guy could live without some a' those things, riiight? He'll get to talkin' with convincin' like thaaat.

VIDEO | UN: Tohsaka Rin open to threads with all of you! ╰(◡‿◡✿╰)

[defenceless]

... Huh.

[what do you really say to that? rin, at least, doesn't hide her interest. she sits in a well-furnished hotel room, casually sipping some tea.]

First off, I suppose some congratulations are in order, and my thanks. Michel was our greatest threat there in that jailbreak. It's fortunate someone else had the forethought to capture him.

[and even with the paper bag, she does trust thor; this must be the real deal. her question:]

Does he aim to kill innocent people?

[selfimage]

[ everyone's a critic. ]

Who crowned you Captain Handlebar McJudgeyson? Paper's easier to enchant in a pinch. Burlap is burlap, and a tad harder to work with. So scratchy.

We don't want him getting ahead of himself, hm? At least not yet.

[ but she does go over to add some angry eyebrows onto Michel's paper bag. ]

I can put a bow on him.
