[Since Barty isn't showing his face to certain people yet for various reasons, it's only text that appears under his name.]

With what we're tasked with here and recent events showing how high the stakes are, I've thought a lot about what it takes to reach a goal, to realize a vision, and what we might be lacking here.

Perhaps there is a world out there where this doesn't hold true, feel free to tell me if yours is the exception, but from all my studies, I've learned that there is nothing that helps unite people more than a strong leader. Someone with a grasp of what needs doing and the determination to see it through.

Under such a person, even the smallest can prove useful. All it needs is loyalty and the will to follow as needed.

If you knew someone like that, would you be faithful?



[PRIVATE TO THE MASTER AND LORD VOLDEMORT]

[The video flickers on to show Barty leaning forward in a chair, perhaps just a bit closer to the screen than would be necessary.]

My Lord Voldemort. Forgive the intrusion, but I believe there is someone you should meet.

[He touches the tip of his tongue to the corner of his mouth and moves closer still, something too intense, something a bit off in his eyes, but his voice is calm.]

Master. I want you to meet my Lord.

[It's prudent to use voice and not video when you're not 100% on what you're dealing with. The War Doctor has found his way to the Heimdall lodgings, now it's time to play with the device.]

I suppose this is the point where I'm meant to ask where I am. And I doubt it's the first time you've heard that one. So good time of day to you Asguardians. By this point you probably have some welcome parties set up, so feel free to let them send their information to me on these devices. It would be prudent and helpful of course. I already know where I am, but it never hurts to hear a different point of view on it.

That or you could leave me to just wander around. Wouldn't be the first time. Or the last.

I guess it's obligatory to ask where the exit is? It's not stated on the map I was given. I don't really have time to be doing this in a place I'm not needed in.
