Greetings, everyone. Perhaps not all of us have had a chance to go through the publicly available, ah, discussions with our resident trickster god. I thought that I'd perhaps offer a little executive summary of information which was new, at least, to me, to those who haven't been able to. It is attached as a text file to this message.

Of course, I would love to hear other thoughts on these matters. My own opinion is that Loki's argument was reasonably compelling. No matter what our true affiliation is, there is certainly no purpose to be served by not even appearing to be cooperative. For my part, I'm inclined to say that cooperation is in fact the best route for all our interests. [Though of course he'd say that either way.]

Pertaining to the gods:
- Odin's powers or resources are taxed by maintaining our presence.
- Freyr is said to be a hostage from Vanaheim and to have incurred displeasure due to his advocacy on our behalf. The same to some extent can be assumed for Freya.
- The ruler of Utgard is the "brother" of Loki, and likely hostile, certainly chaotic.
- Sigyn is the wife of Loki. Despite this, the mythological incident with the horses, which I presume refers to the story that Loki was once the mother of a horse, is not denied.
- The prospect of our rebellion is not a harmless one for them. They have repeated that we are the "chance to avoid the apocalypse."

This reinforces two points, which, of course, we knew already:
1) The gods are not a uniform entity, but represent a spectrum of views.
2) Both they and we have stakes in our presence here, despite their power over us.

Pertaining to the war:
- The expected conflict should arrive within one year.
- The war is predicted by a certain prophecy.
- Allies of these gods include elves, as well as the gods of Vanaheim.
- Enemies include the giants of both types, whose attacks on the city we have seen previously.

Finally, Sena Kashiwazaki-sama provided some excellent advice on the comportment and conduct befitting a god. I would advise anyone, and indeed, everyone, to study it carefully.

Miss Hel, would you mind if I asked you a few questions?

Loki's argument was compelling if one believes that he said. Considering who he is, it is difficult to say he's trustworthy, and little the other gods have done gives me reason to believe they don't have at least some sort of ulterior motive in this.

However, some of his information may have indeed been correct, and gathering it is useful.

Ever thought of asking the other gods?

So which gods have you tried then?

...What, really? I just called Loki and got an answer right away. S'not hard. You must be really bad at this.

If a war comes here and we're still stuck here it's not like we have a choice on whether to fight or not. Unless we want to die, I guess.

It might be worth reading about Ragnarok, though it's not going to be exact.

Best of luck to you then.

The thing I'm most certain he was telling the truth about was that if we go anywhere else we're likely to get tortured or sent back here. Were you here when we got attacked? Asgard's enemies think think we're just as much of an enemy.

He's a huge dick and Hel's his daughter.

Selling weapons to both sides? Someone is going to bring the war to them just by trying to cut the other side off, if they don't end up taking a side to protect themselves first.

If we're talking about a literal world-ending conflict, though? Maybe they could stay neutral through most of it but what about when both sides get desperate?

It makes it a bad place to run to, though. We're supposed to be here to change the prophesies so we already know the gods here are going to die unless we can change it somehow.

[Well, this is a little interesting to hear...]

There's more benefit to listen to them than not, isn't there? But I guess rebellions would be another form of emotion stuff that the gods want...
parasiteye: (haa?)

...Yes? I don't know, I didn't ask.
