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.]

Gods are beings just like anyone else. They deserve the same respect and no more, unless it is earned.

The issue with choosing whether to fight or not is a matter of whether one believes the story the gods have given us.

Yeah, sure, let's go ahead and respect the nutters who brought us here against our will to torture us in the first place. That ought to go over well.

You're absolutely right though, you are rambling and you are being a little naive about this.

Actually, I destroyed an entire univverse. So, peddle your let's-all-wwork-together BS to someone a little more gullible.

Take it from someone wwith experience, you fuckin' can't savve everyone, an' insistin' otherwwise is just an exercise in futility. Not that humans are knowwn for anythin' else.

I'm glad to see that not evvery human is as delusional as the ones I'vve met so far.

Well, either way we're at their mercy, aren't we?

I don't know, I'm not really good with this kind of stuff.

Are people being tortured?

If we just sit around we're just going to end up dead though, aren't we?

I mean, stuff attacks the city a lot, right? If we work together we survive...and maybe get closer to getting out of this place.

But I already swore I'd be mad at the gods from now on...I can't go back on my promise.

We can work together without giving in to those bullies!

To be fair, I don't think they should be thought of as gods. If they want real respect, they should probably earn it first.

I can understand being mad at them, even I was for a while.

But...isn't that just ultimately useless? It's just negativity that's going to poison you if you hold on to it.

I'm not saying you have to actually respect them. Don't you think it's a good idea to at least show respect to something that's supposed to be that powerful?

Even if you don't really, acting like it can get you on their good side and maybe help get something done so everyone can move on.

Having power shouldn't make you have to respect someone. Isn't that how you get murderous dictators?

Even if you act, that's not a good thing because you're lying. And people who lie tend to get caught in the act.

Either way, we're kind of stuck, and that kind of behavior is pretty counter-productive.

I don't know why I decided to say anything, though. I'm really not good at this kind of stuff.

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?

Poison? Oh no! I can't die from negativity, can I?

Probably not directly or anything...but it sure isn't helpful for anything.

Not necessarily.

I presume by your words this is all very new for you.

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.

Then what can we do? I don't want to be angry but they kinda rile me up.

I think it would be easier to think of them as individuals and give respect to each one you think deserves it.

That's at least the way I see things, Miss.

But that doesn't mean wwe should be wworkin' wwith our captors. Not like they'll be so eager to let us in on a wway out a' here.

I have had that opportunity. It wasn't easy, it wasn't fun, and we certainly wouldn't have succeeded if our leadership behaved the way the gods here have been. As for respect - it should be earned, not demanded. I'm not against cooperating with the gods for the common good, but they could stand to do a little more to gain the trust of the people they've brought here.

Well, it's all new to anyone who gets brought here, isn't it?

I'm mostly just not good with this...um...sort of discussion.

I'm just saying the negativity doesn't get us anywhere.

I'm not like...a strategist or anything, though.
