[The presence of so many people was more than disconcerting, and Draco's just kind of glad to be rid of everyone. Being away from the distractions of various people (including his family at different ages, Merlin's beard), meant he could finally focus on what he was working on prior to their arrival.

It's pretty early in the morning today but Draco has his camera feed turned on his bracelet. He's in his shop working with some materials that are bubbling in the pot in front of him.]

Never again, gods. Never. Again. I can't believe you let such a mistake occur in the first place…not to mention apparently you forgot some of them. [Here's looking at you, Potter. Get out of Asgard. Now.

Oh well. Adding here, mixing there, and there's a loud pop suddenly. Grinning, he takes a small vial and fills it with his latest potion, using an eyedropper to grab some and squeeze a few drops onto a nearby table.

Bam. Victory! The latest explosion potion works! He''ll just turn his attention back to the video feed, not quite noticing that the rest of the pot's bubbling a little too violently.]

In other news, once again I'm completely brilliant in ways most of you aren't. Excellent. Euri, we've another potion to add to our stock. I finally perfected the formula. So, Asgard. We now offer a small line of offensive potions including explosives. Considering that I've figured out this formula we can work further to create stronger, more powerful potions for the next--

[The problem with brewing potions when you're not entirely stable and happy is that they're sure to backfire on you. It's a precise art with very little room for error. This is the case for Draco Malfoy. He's in the middle of his sentence when there's a series of volatile pops, followed by a loud explosion. The only thing visible on screen is a surprised yell and a cloud of smoke, a wave of acidic yellow liquid bursting from the confines of the pot.

When it clears, the camera feed is static and shows a view of the floor. It's assumed that Draco's lifeless body's laying there despite it not being on screen. The feed shuts off five minutes later and he disappears completely. Oops.]

[ooc: not responding to any tags, but feel free to tag amongst yourselves or whatever if you'd like. Draco's dead for a day and upon returning will have lost his bracelet so ICly he's out of touch for a week or two. Also posting a day early because internet outage at my house.]

I'd say it's objectively awesome, especially if it's gory. Especially if you're not the one doing it. But I haven't died. Gotten close a few times. Reeally close. A lot of times actually. It kind of grows on you! But that doesn't have anything to do with anything.

I'd take a poll to see how many people who agree with you or me, but I'd rather not know there's anyone else like you running around.

[He wavers and decides not to answer the latter half. Harry isn't interested in talking about how he has died, albeit briefly. He believes there's no use in it.]

They'd almost all agree with you, I bet. I did take a poll about who's killed or not, and most people either hadn't, or were totally uncomfortable with it. Kinda weird, isn't it? The gods pulling in a bunch of people to fight a war who don't even like death very much.

You don't have to like death to fight a war. That might be why they're fighting the war in the first place: to stop people from dying.

I guess that's why some people do it, yeah. I just like the carnage! It's more straightforward this way.

You know that's the type of thing to go around admitting only if you want to seem very suspicious, right?

Aw, I don't want to be suspicious. It just sort of happens? I'm just happy with my job!

... Which is?

Slaughtering folk? This is technically an army, so I think that's what my job still is...

'Still'? So you were a part of an army before.

... Is that what everyone else called themselves? 'Slaughterers of folk'?

Sure was. Am. I don't think being here negates being... there. At the same time? I'm not sure how it works... But nah, they called themselves normal things like 'soldier' and whatnot.

... Well, that seems to be what I've heard, too.

But you should try 'soldier' yourself. It's less ... disturbing.

Really? Thanks, I'll try to remember that!

Er, you're welcome.
