003 [Video/Action]

[Laura is walking through the now colourful land of Asgard. She looks less like someone who is appreciating the beauty of nature and more like a caged animal pacing.

She raises her communicator to give a panoramic view of a multi-hued area of the streets of Asgard, moving it around to prove her points.]

The gods cannot be relied on to keep their word. They will probably try to hold onto us for insurance.

[Pessimistic? Just a bit. But then, Laura has never been a ray of sunshine. It's not in her nature to see the bright side of life.]

It's not just the authority figures. This trend of 'I want something to be true -- so I'm going to believe that it is, with absolutely no proof' is a little ... worrying.

Some people call it faith. I call it desperation.

Not laziness?

If it were laziness, they would know without doubt that the gods will not keep their word and not care. Some people sincerely choose to put their trust in the gods.

I can see that it'd be harder for people coming with worlds where gods exist and are pretty good, but still --

Ah, I guess if I understood that feeling, we wouldn't be having this conversation!

Gods existed in my world. Thor and Hercules were both members of a team of superheroes called the Avengers.

But not all gods are benevolent and blind trust is a bad idea.
