[video] i spy with my little eye

[sleeveless]

Citizens of Asgard. I come bearing only grave news this day. What I believe to be a spy, lurking in our very midst.

[ The camera pans over to a bound and gagged individual that some may in fact recognize from the tail end of the Utgard excursion. ]

He has aroused the suspicions of many with his peculiar behavior. The natives themselves have been able to confirm he is not one of them, as he has tried claiming.

Presently, he can be found in the custody of myself and Sir Gwaine. I wish to seek the council of everyone before we reach the city proper as it is a matter which undeniably concerns the safety of us all.

But as for myself, I would vote for execution to follow his questioning. I have seen firsthand what may happen with prisoners during war. They conspire to escape and wreak further havoc, squandering mercy and endangering good men.

(ooc: edited in-character to clarify.

don't forget about the poll going on. if you've already voted but your character's opinion has been swayed in this post then simply update your vote!)

[Percy's been in his own war. The whole killing kids thing for being the enemy never really settled well with him. He wanted to save them, i n part that's the feeling here as he considers.

Yeah, so have I. Killing the guy still shouldn't be the first solution.

Perhaps not. I take no pleasure in the thought of seeing any man dead. But nor can I stand to consider what it might mean for this city and everyone in it should our hearts in their mercy bleed us dry for every drop. Too many good men have already been lost for their unwavering faith in second chances.

I'm not saying give him a second chance. [Because he's not. He's just seen what happens when you kill and knows that not all spies are bad. Just that it causes a lot of trouble.] What good does killing him right off do? That's just going to tell the others like him that we're merciless.

It is not the first solution; it is, however, a solution.

[unrestrained]

Yeah, and it's not a solution I agree with right now.

[asgardsheart]

And that is alright. I would not ask you to follow any path that you do not agree with.
