[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!)

It's not right. Neither is killing him.

But it makes him useful. [This is definitely a mix of resourcefulness and bitterness on ???'s part.]

You're forgetting the important questions.
Do you really think he's the only one? For all we know, this is a distraction and others within the city are moving as we argue.
It's not right to kill, yeah. But I'm sick of taking risks that are inevitability going to cost a terrible fuckin price.

[It's bitterness and cynicism on Dirk's end.]

You're really paranoid then. There's a difference between the city's citizens and outsiders. The number of natives that actually have their minds clear of the sickness is relatively smaller than the ones who are still sick. That already makes them stand out. If you're so worried, I could scan the whole place, although that would require a bit of time.

I'd also think that the gods aren't completely incompetent in their domain and with their natives.

The real question is is Utgard our ally or not?

There's a lot of questions.
I'm not saying the gods are idiots, but take it from me being over-confident leads to a nasty fuckin downfall.
I doesn't hurt to take steps to ensure things are fine. Since this is a mass vote as it is, the voices to not kill are likely to win anyway.

At least we have that much say. The problem is that the gods like to hide things from us too. I want to get to the spy before they take him.

Technically, that's all I really want, but keeping him around is an added bonus.

I have no objections to you getting what you want out of him.
I just don't want to take the chance once this guy is in the city of further bullshit.
They do like to hide things, and I still don't get that. It just seems a little weird too, that it seems like they don't have a choice in this matter.
Hasn't that bothered you?

It has, but they appear to be more control-freaks than anything, to me.

[And as an example, he's sending a copy of a recent conversation with Odin.]

Oh yeah, I completely agree. But I got to thinking about it. It feels weird.

What are you going to do about it?

For now, observe. As it stands, there's not enough evidence.

Fair enough. Anyways, I'm off. [To go intercept the caravan.]
