asgardeventide | [video] i spy with my little eye

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!)

My, my.

[ why, look who sounds pissed. ]

Look who finally showed up to the party.

You brought the party to me.

[ Look who sounds 100% unimpressed. ]

You can't blame us; we might have gotten tired of being ignored.

Drop the false whimpering. We can hear it from here, and I assure you, nothing has gone past our notice.

[ oops, glaring. ]

You just didn't deign to care? I don't enjoy being dropped here and expected to fight a war for you, without any support.

You have our support in every breath you live to take, child. I just don't answer every single cry of wolf.

With that attitude, is it any wonder they won't hand him over?

Not a wonder in the least. I've made it clear from the beginning how much I'd prefer you in your homes, far far away from here, but we have to stop those homes from being destroyed first. I don't have time to hold your hands through every second of the day. If you have something important to say, say it.

Fine. I, personally, won't give him to you to disappear to wherever you plan to take him because he's useless to me that way. If it was guaranteed that I would have time to interrogate him beforehand, I might consider it.

[ she crosses her arms. ]

Wars are won and lost on information, not battles.

Wars in your time, where information is sold to the highest bidder. You might've noticed by now things don't exactly work the same way here.

[ But he doesn't want to bicker about this shit again. He just leans back in his seat, bored. ]

Now, we've given you the opportunity to participate in our affairs because there was an insufferable amount of bitching when we simply took things into our own hands. I would love nothing more than to take it back. Things run more smoothly, without all this noise you see your fellow Travellers spewing over each other - but there are at least a few of you with your heads on straight enough to keep the task at hand in mind.

It's for this reason only that I'm still tolerating this bullshit. I'll let you guys interrogate him if you want to. The only place he'll go is a holding cell in my prison, and I will open the doors for you to ask whatever you want, but I want him there now, before Thiazi realises her little spider won't be crawling back to her and decides to come after him instead.

A war is a war, it doesn't matter what time.

( she might be biased, but she has to admit that he's got a point about the spy being retrieved ... or let free by some 'well-meaning' traveler. hesitating for a moment, she nods. )

You think she'd risk it for an incompetent spy? ( ~~in soviet russia~~ where she was from, a spy who was captured was instructed to kill themselves or be killed, their choice. a spy who was captured was no longer of use. ) I suppose there is more of a chance of you allowing me to see him than this group.

It's not the spy that matters, it's what's inside him.

[ He hasn't killed himself yet and these idiots won't be the ones to do it. What does that tell you right there? ]

What's inside him?

( have a raised eyebrow. )

Sentimental, are we?

You, of all people, should know that what's inside a man can be very, very useful.

You keep saying things like that, as if you know me.

( a slight pause. )

Do you?

We know enough.

Or you know nothing and you're just bluffing.

[ He gives a tired beat of silence, wherein he debates the merit in going either way this conversation, but honestly, he just doesn't care. ]

Whatever you want to believe, Natalia.

[ But he's done with this one for now - he's got another spy to string up - so he ends the feed there. ]
