...so they basically saw the Dark Presence and copied it. [WELP THAT EXPLAINS WHY HE COULDN'T CHANGE IT WITH HIS WRITING. HE HATES THIS PLACE.

His voice is clipped, irritated.]

So who has access to do that. Other than you guys? If you want us to win this war, then tell us who does what and what we should expect.

And where the hell were you during that fiasco? Because I don't know about you, but a warning beforehand would've been great.

I'm quite sorry about that. You're right, it would have been nice to warn you. Because of course we could have! The giants are very polite people that send us a note at least 72 hours before any attempts to kill us all.

And there's your first answer. Gods and Giants. The great immortal beings. Asgard and Vanaheim versus Muspellheim and Thrymheim and Utgard piddling around ready to pick at the heels of whoever is losing.

[Loki. He wants to throw things at you. UGH WHY ARE YOU SO INFURIATING.]

Then why didn't you at least say something?! Anything! Last I checked gods were supposed to help their people and protect them. Especially since we're supposed to fight for you!

Who do you think made it go away? And how much power do you think it took to do that?

Here, I'll let you in on a very juicy tidbit.

Normally, if you want to bring something here from a branch world, you have to coax it along over time, up through the proverbial ocean of void, and in doing so you're likely to put it through some very disorienting if not downright torturous sensations as you rearrange the very channels of life essence that go through it.

That doesn't happen to you. Why do you think that is?

[Alan listens, pauses, then manages to catch himself from throwing out something at Loki that he really shouldn't say. Instead, he just throws back his usual sarcasm.

Which really isn't all that better.]

Go ahead and enlighten me, you've kept us all in the dark anyway.

It wouldn't hurt you to hazard a guess. If you'd all take the time to think about things instead of shouting at the air you'd get a lot more done.

Sometimes it's easier to shout. We've been taken from our own worlds and times, and told we have to save a city and all the realms from dying, or else we're screwed. How the hell else would we take that?

Possibly by bucking down and actively doing your best to make sure everything you love isn't destroyed? It might be slightly more productive than throwing completely inane fits.

[That's... laughter, you're hearing, Loki. Alan finds that absolutely ridiculous.]

And that's a lot easier said than done, unfortunately!

Only because you're all fundamentally self-serving little bastards who put their pride before their purpose.

Then again, we can be awfully selfish pains in your asses too, so it's fair turnabout.
