NPC POST - VIDEO

[asgardswisdom]

[ This is Odin's first real public appearance since the martial law was first instated, an intentional move after the whole traitor fiasco, and despite his standard crisp black suit and ramrod straight posture, the King of Asgard is still looking a little rough around the edges. A muscle jumps in his jaw right before he begins speaking. ]

There's a decision to be made. You handled the last with a surprising amount of grace and reason, and for your hand in both getting us to this point and in the war at large, we'll give you say in this one as well.

You returned from Mimisbrunnr with the information we needed to recover Tyr's soul from Thiazi's grasp, but we've been waiting for the right moment. We need to be prepared, because as soon as we make our move, she's going to know, and she's going to be pissed.

[ At least for that much, he almost looks pleased, insofar as the only change in his demeanor being a sort of fire in his eyes. It's short lived. ]

So. Before we perform the ritual, we need to decide what to do with Tyr's soul once we have it. This is where you come in. My colleagues and I will be around to answer any questions you might have, but seeing as this is a largely personal matter for many of us, I'll remind you lot to either keep it professional or keep it to yourself.

[ Looking @ u, Freyr and Loki and any other bleeding hearts in the audience. ]

We need to act fast, so you have until sundown. And one last word of caution - [ As personal as Odin will get for this post, with an imperceptible glare. ] - do not take this lightly.

[ OOC NOTES: This is the IC discussion regarding whether or not to resurrect Tyr! The poll is still open until Oct. 16 at 11:59PM CST, so hash things out and make sure to vote!! Let us know if you have any questions or if you'd like to request an NPC in specific for your thread! ]

...If he's a spirit though, couldn't we find him a vessel to inhabit? Even if temporarily?

[asgardswisdom]

[ He pauses to consider it for a moment, and that same muscle pops in his jaw again. ]

Possibly. It would need to be a living host, though, and we don't know that anyone could withstand holding his spirit within them.

video

[runtothesunlight]

A living host, huh.

[He closes his eyes, seemingly contemplating something, before he speaks again.]

Then I'll volunteer.

[bloodypocket]

Is this really a decision to make on your own? [Though what he is really asking is why he's making it so quickly.]

video

[runtothesunlight]

It's one I choose of my own will.

Of course, whether I do it or not then depends on the others' votes. But if I had to then, I'd do it.

video

[bloodypocket]

That it may be, but ultimately it affects us all. What if he doesn't want to be brought back in any degree?

video

[asgardswisdom]

[ An eyebrow quirks, his closest display of surprise. ]

In all likelihood, it would kill you. You're a mortal, and we're dealing with one of the oldest beings in Creation.

[.....]

When I was a young child, some scientists attempted to summon a godddess into their world, Nyx. Being a death goddess, they wished to control her to eliminate all life on my world. They only failed because someone split her into several pieces. The most vital piece, Death, was soon then sealed inside me, and I carried that piece for 10 years.

Whether it's a god or a demon, you won't find a better vessel then here.

Be that as it may, that's your world's magic, not ours. There's a reason you don't have your abilities here. The same magic doesn't function at the source. You may be among the most viable candidates, but there is still no guarantee that containing pure magic within you wouldn't tear you apart.

[windbreak]

Hey, are you positive? You don't know what could happen!

voice

[runtothesunlight]

Yes. I really think we should consult him personally first. And I'm willing to endure the consequences.

[windbreak]

Well, isn't that...? [He sounds torn.] Like, yeah, I'm all for the guy getting to decide for himself. But if we don't even know whether that is a way to do it...

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

As will I.

This seems like the best option to me. Giving him a voice.

[Video]

[runtothesunlight]

Doctor?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Minato?

[Video]

[livedtwice]

That is not an option! You're forcing him to continue living, and he's still having no choice in the matter. Are you all so afraid of death?

[video]

[quantumtangled]

[How curious. He tilts his head and turns on the display.]

I offer myself as an option. I do not know how the rest of you wish to choose the volunteer, but I do not suffer. Death is not a problem.

Not here, but Roland's Looking at you, you reasonable little asshole

[ka_sera_sera]

[Roland is aware that it is only now that he sees the need to urge any of the volunteers to reconsider. Which is why he doesn't. Almost, almost... But his hand lifts from the bracelet's screen after a moment. It isn't his choice.]

video

[livedtwice]

Don't allow them to do this. No matter what circumstances they might have experienced, it's ... it's not an option we can rightfully consider, especially considering what Tyr has experienced. Even if they don't fear death themselves, it's not kind to Tyr, and it'll be another weight on his soul.

video

[asgardswisdom]

Your judgment comes from a place of experience as much as the rest of them. I've given this vote to all of you. If this is what the majority decides upon, this is what we will do.

video

[livedtwice]

They're only thinking of the side of it that involves themselves.

video

[livedtwice]

Yes, because that's a brilliant plan after what he's just gone through.

video

[runtothesunlight]

What option would you choose then?

video

[livedtwice]

Let his soul rest. Hasn't he been through enough? This will put more of a burden on Tyr, one that he doesn't deserve. He isn't like Freyr, he isn't coming back ... untainted by it. But what you're offering isn't to give him more life, but to give him the chance to hurt others more. Even if we can find information this way, there are better choices available.

It's just ... not a very good idea.

[runtothesunlight]

I'm not asking him to be brought back to life. This is only temporary, enough to ask him what he wants instead of making assumptions.
