( video. ) ( night 129. )

[ there's a few seconds of breathing at first, slightly laboured but distinctly amused, as if the owner is torn between laughing and not, and whilst the feed is set to video, there's little discernible — a slight glint of gold and silver reflecting the light from the bracelet, but for the present, that's it. ]

Is this how the gods of Asgard protect their loyal subjects — by sitting idly by and watching as they kill and are killed? [ momentary silence interrupted only by the sound of movement and deliberate sliding of metal — daggers, perhaps — against the surface of a table. ] Ravens—. [ the remark is muttered half to himself, somewhat bitter and in the tone of one who is enjoying a private joke, although it's followed by a more audible, explanatory and sardonic: ] Odin watches.

[ the sound of movement again, and a quiet huff (not quite a laugh) before loki comes into view. he's pale, as ever, but he doesn't look to be overly bothered by the situation as a whole, nor does he seem to be injured. his lips quirk briefly, and he leans slightly closer to the bracelet, the barest hint of a smile playing across his features. ] If there are still a foolish few who would place their faith in those who would not lift a hand in protection of their realm, I do wish you luck for if this is any indicator, the realm will fall and all who stand not against them but with them, will also fall where they stand. What hope have you against giants if you cannot hold these pitiful creatures?

[ he leans back away from the bracelet, fingers hovering over the feed for several moments. after something resembling consideration, he adds: ] —At least morning is only a few hours away.

[Castiel is pale, his hair is damp, and he's wearing a jacket that despite his efforts is still splattered with blood. But he doesn't seem hurt, and is commenting from a quiet, unremarkable room inside somewhere.]

This is not the first time they have watched rather than aiding, and it will doubtlessly not be the last.

[Euri sounds pretty tired - and confused.]

... There are giants out there?

[Yay for knowing fuck-all about Norse mythology :D]

So - they're not attacking right now? [Those ravens were bad enough....]

I gather your own Asgard never faced anything quite like this? Or if it did, you and your own host of Gods squashed it quickly.

[His voice is bitter, his expression bleak. He's definitely looking worse for wear. He hasn't raised a hand against anyone, but he's been killed and seen people he cares for very much die, and been helpless to stop it.]

I don't stand a chance against Giants. I don't stand a chance against children with knives. This is all so... stupid. Pointless. Are the Gods here only able to play with our emotions and free will, but powerless otherwise? Or do they really want this? I'm not even being rhetorical - you'd have a better idea than me.

[That is the last thing she wants to hear. Her voice is getting quiet.]

... This can't be the gods, they'd be hurting their own people. They wouldn't go that far.

[blood dripping from her mouth, not a big deal.]

Having fun, dear one?

[Taking some time out to actually use the bracelet that's otherwise just providing light. But no video here; no revealing how struggling he looks.]

To make a counterpoint, we're hardly the most loyal of subjects; and those who have been favored by them in power are undoubtedly faring rather better than those who haven't.

[Oh, she understands. Partially. But after not sleeping and being on constant nervous, Alice's mind is somewhat... not here. At the moment. The thousand mile stare, the shell shock. Half ready to drift off into her world, her creation, but oh, no, she can't. But by now, her thoughts may not be too coherent.

Lack of sleep and paranoia does that to someone.]


Hugin and Muninn scoping the world to whisper information into Odin's ears. But they're not a pair.

How could anyone be. Ah, but it would be be a tad more entertaining to be at full stature, wouldn't you think, lord?

They're not his ravens. That man knows. Alan.

[Alice offers an indifferent shrug. She's still shaking, wiping off the blood on her knife on her apron.]

You're quite sure of that? Is it like the Looking Glass, Loki? Utgard? The Looking Glass had a different Red Queen.
