[hello this is doge

King of them, anyway. Will's not showing his face today, nor is he showing anyone any dogs. There is nothing canine or fluffy about what he has to say, so far be it from him to distract with something canine and fluffy. It's also not the most savory of topics to address, and he probably looks like hell anyway. So text it is, because then he doesn't have to actually get up and shave and get dressed and looked presentable or like he has any business being outside of his room.]

I haven't been here an extraordinarily long time, but there seems to be a pattern with PSAs (Public Service Announcements) that's rather unavoidable to pick up on. Someone of ill repute who has caused a great deal of damage back in their own home gets pulled here where other people from their home have already been taken, and thus the Traveler [Traveller! Traveller! T R A V E L L E R!] population is informed about the life and times of whoever it is that the gods pulled in without thinking about their choice that much. For the safety of the people, so we know who should be avoided and why they should be avoided. Sometimes those people have already proven themselves to be worth as much by their actions in Asgard, sometimes they haven't.

[Does kicking a dog count? Animal abuse is a sign of someone being pretty messed up, but whatever. Will thinks this is all pretty ridiculous and it totally has nothing to do with his own issues back home. It's not at all him projecting in any way because he's had a tabloid "journalist" frequently writing articles on him being an insane serial killer with a bunch of people commenting on it. It totally has nothing to do with that because Will is in his right mind and has taken the time needed to distance himself from that.

Mostly.]

What I'm really concerned about is the lack of communication between us Travelers who already know or have been told all of this and the Natives. I don't see any posters to warn or inform them. I don't see what good it does in the long run if we warn one group but not the other, unless the goal is to create a glaringly obvious "us versus them" mentality or instill the idea that Travelers are the only real people in Asgard. If that's the case, job well done. If it's not, we should fix this. I don't know many of the Natives personally, [That would require talking at length and that is not at all Will's ballgame. And, also, he might turn them grayer than they'd ever been in the first place.] but I don't want their numbers to decrease because we, as a group, decided they didn't matter and left them as easy prey. That actually seems to go against the entire point of warning anyone at all, making it almost completely pointless. Like wrapping a present in front of the person you mean to give it to. If we're not going to actually act on what we say, we could always just go the next step and turn this network into a gossip rag. We can just start taking pictures and asking who wore the little black dress better, point out two people holding hands and ask for details about their blooming romance, start sharing tips for dieting and gardening, and occasionally spatter it with some graphic imagery of murder to keep things varied.

[Because comparing actual valid warnings against genocidal maniacs to The National Enquirer is the way to make friends. Voldemort and Joffrey are on par with Joan Rivers yammering on about how fat someone looks in their Prada dress. Yes. Definitely. Very well done, A+. Totally not incendiary at all, nope. Definitely not doing it on purpose. Just Will not knowing how to people.

No, no, it's totally on purpose.

doge over and out]

I think that's a very, very good point. Although you rather lost me at the end. But no, I agree, it's hardly prudent to only warn other travelers; we'd be hypocritical at best and rather terrible people at worst if all we did is stand idly by.

That being said-- what were you thinking? Posters? Some sort of most-wanted sort of thing?

[Well, thankfully, Alice is feeling well within her mind for this.]

What good will warning signs do for those who are masterful in hiding their deceptions? Even the most reputed and respected can be true monsters.

How graphic?

[Yeah, his eyes glazed over as he read most of that, but he zoomed right in on what's important.]

[Will is just going to stare at this name and wonder if he can feel the puppy dogs eye look he's giving him. Totally secret.]

Don't worry about it. It's not the most tasteful thing I've ever said.

[His cannibalism is totally secret, he can get away with this, okay?]

I've heard there's some here with the powers of art, aren't there? If they're good enough, they could always act as a sketch artist.

That's true. Some of the worst monsters seem beautiful and good. But at least one of them has already had his face shown to us, just not the rest of the populous. I find it contrary. Hypocritical, almost.

Yes, that's true. We can also include a description of what to do-- mainly run-- and add their crimes, just so they know they're not simply dealing with petty thieves or what have you.

Contrary and hypocritical that may be, but it may be wise to proceed with caution, lest you give those who are far more clever to hide their true motives. Psychosis knows no bounds.

You didn't see the arm? How about the body missing its head?

[He wanted the arm, but he's not telling anyone that.]

No. Can I still see them?

That's generally what goes on a poster, along with a statement of how much of a reward they'd bring in. I don't think that matters here, though, considering it doesn't seem to be a major concern of the gods'.

[There isn't even a jail.

Do you even law enforcement, Asgard?]

Well, yes, but there's always heroes, aren't there? You never know.

I am well aware. This was my job back home, and I did it for a really, really long time before I got here. Sitting on our haunches and ignoring that there are other people here goes against any effort made in the first place. They're people, too. It's one thing for the blind to lead the blind. It's another for those who see to leave others in the darkness. That is wrong and unacceptable.

[Will Graham: best father figure in the world. Really.]

I'm sure you can. You'll have to look for yourself, though. I'm not comfortable sharing that with you on my own. There was no attempt to make it a secret.

[Alice is already cringing on the other side. He did work like this back at home? Lovely.]

Then what? Mark your course of actions more discreetly? I certainly hope so; some of us in Asgard have already had their fair share of insanity long before we came here.

I'm not used to this thing yet. Just show me. I've seen plenty of heads cut off before.

It seems that quite a few people here already think they're heroes, so that part's already covered. Considering the villain is the hero in his eyes, you could argue everyone's a hero, even if they never do anything extraordinary.

[Says the Jesus of the FBI.]

No.

[How many times has Joffrey heard that word? Does he even know what it means?]

If you've seen plenty of heads cut off before, there's no point in me showing you another. I'm sure it pales in comparison to watching one fall off anyway. It would probably be boring if that's what you're used to.

Yes, all right, but some people believe they're heroes but in truth they're the kind of heroes who die because they don't know what the hell they're doing.

Hence the warnings.

[It's a little late to protect the natives on Malekith's end, but...]

You would compile a list of those who would wish Asgard ill?

[How generous.]

I guess you're right. I've got plenty of enemies here, anyways.

[Enemies. To kill. Yeah.]

[Preaching to the choir here, Alice]

I'd argue that being pulled from home and told of multiple worlds would be enough to drive quite a few people insane, even the most stable of them. [Haha. Will Graham. Stable.] What do you mean, mark the course of action more discreetly? Hide this entire idea to those who just seem trustworthy?

Seems like you got brought into a war zone with your war already here. You doing okay, though? Finding it easy enough to get your own food and everything?

Quite possibly, yes.

[Hey, as long as there's no asylums here.]

You said that is what your work entailed, yes? Then you must mean you are a doctor of the sort. If I have not lost faith entirely of those who reassure most that they know the minds of others, surely you feel there would be those who would be trustworthy. Asgard could use a better force if we have none already.

It seems like other people have already done it, just not actually gone through with it like it should be. It seems to be less those who wish Asgard ill and those who wish Travelers ill, like they're not going to end up looking at the Natives the same way eventually.

Do you know some of those heroes, then? Seems like you might be speaking from experience. Worried about some people?
