asgardeventide | 3rd Performance | The Gods must be crazy

[Video]

Y'know, I haven't been here for very long and I'm still trying to figure this place out. I know it's really jarring to be pulled out of your own world and into another without any warning. Heck, it's even downright scary! I can totally understand being angry at the people responsible for it, too. Desperate times call for desperate measures, I guess.

I saw the cute little thing one of the Gods posted for someone, and it kind of explained a lot! Even before I saw that, though, I noticed a little bit of a trend.

Every time one of the Gods posts something a lot of people treat them pretty rudely. Like I said, I can understand being angry and scared...but is it really a good idea to act that way toward the most powerful people here? Sure, it would have been better if they had asked for our help before just pulling us here...but would anyone have said yes to their request?

I don't know if anyone else here has ever been in a situation where they had a chance to do something to save an entire world, but even despite the circumstances it's a chance to do something really cool and incredible! We can help save an entire world, and if what that God posted is true, a whole bunch of other worlds too...even our own.

I dunno, I kind of feel like I'm rambling. I guess I'm just saying we should probably try to cooperate with the Gods and do something to help. We're here anyway, right? I bet the quicker we get it done the quicker we can go home. Plus, it'll probably end in some kind of grand show! A final battle with the evil bosses! It's like something out of a video game, and will probably be something really cool to be a part of.

Besides, they're Gods. That demands some kind of respect, right? I'm not trying to suck up or anything, and I'm really not even sure why I decided to do this. I just figure we should be more cooperative since we're here anyway, and we might even become some kind of mythical heroes in the process! Even if you don't like the Gods, we should definitely all work together ourselves. We're going to have to fight for our lives, right?

I'm just a circus performer, though...so I guess I might be a little naive or something?

[Cerebella thinks about that for a moment, before the video feed mercifully shuts off.]

I don't think it's counterproductive. What if it's the right answer? I mean, you kind of assume that the gods here aren't lying themselves.

[Poor Cerebella never assumes anyone is lying.]

They could be lying...but that still doesn't change the fact that they're the ones in control of us right now. I think the behavior would just make the situation worse.

I mean...does anyone have any ideas on why this behavior is more helpful than harmful?

You could say the same about a lot of things that's happened before. People would ask 'how is this helpful' and you can't really answer it until you get results.

Ugh, I'm not good at like, debating either.

I just think if we got rid of the negativity it would help a lot.

It's fine. But negativity never hurt anyone, I'm sure.

Negativity usually ends up hurting people.

That's not true at all. Having dissenting opinions is a good thing.

That's not what I mean at all.

I mean being angry or hateful or anything like that. It doesn't do anyone any good.

You'd be surprised. When people get mad, they get things done.

Yea, usually killing or hurting people.

...I wonder what kind of experiences you've had in the past.

Nothing that's really a big deal.

Color me worried.

Why would you be worried about stuff that's already happened?

That sounds pretty silly.

Because if you had different experiences, it'll change how you see things.

So are you worried I'm some sort of secret villain?

That's at the very bottom of the list of things I'm worried about.

Then you've got nothing to worry about!

I'll keep my own opinion on that.

Well, if you're going to ask me about past experiences then I'm going to have to ask you about yours.

So be careful if you decide to go that route.

[Yea, that usually dissuades anyone.]

If you think something like that is going to bother me, it won't.

Really? Even if I decided to ask you personal or embarrassing things?

[Damnit, Shiki don't act tough just drop it.]

What exactly could you ask that would be so bad?

I'm really just trying to get you to leave it alone.

I'm not so good at that, either.

Because I'm right. But you can just ask me to stop. It's not that hard.
