[ The morning of day 505, a message from the gods is broadcast over the network: ]

Greetings, Travelers.

Some of you may know already that there was a breach of the castle barrier. We apprehended an individual using Thiazi's magic to attempt assassination of the Queen, and have confirmed that he is Thiazi's informant inside Asgard. This man has been actively assisting her in making attacks on the city as well as misleading our own intelligence efforts.

[ Heimdall is understandably quite cross at this. He gestures offscreen and the feed shifts from Heimdall to a wider shot of the room, where there is a man being held in place between Thor and Loki, who also look quite cross. ]

His name is Satan and he pleads innocence by corruption -- that all he has done while sabotaging Asgard was Thiazi's influence. While he lives we cannot tell his intent, only that he is indeed the perpetrator.

Since he is one among you, we leave his judgment in your hands. What would you have us do with the traitor?


(( The poll is to be filled out ICly and once per character! This will decide Satan's fate. Please feel free to threadjack at will to discuss the trial! ))

[Bruce comes on the network rarely, but makes an exception on this particularly dark night. He considers, comes very close to asking is everyone out there holding up all right? They're living in interesting times. There's no shame in asking for help. They should all be taking care of themselves and each other.

He's a little maudlin tonight, to be perfectly honest. But he recognizes the tendency, and asks instead;]

Does your world have limericks? I've got a prize here for the best, another for the silliest, and another for the rudest. Let's have 'em, Asgard.
