text - The Dark Lord Who Left

To whom it may concern and those that like to concern themselves,

Lord Voldemort has left Asgard, as I'm sure many have already noticed. All claims you have yet to make to accuse him have become obsolete and whatever you see him guilty of won't be avenged.

I ask of you to allow the lady Merope her grief. Feel free to address me with any and all complaints and damnation, I suppose it won't be of less use than turning to the gods.

-- Bartemius Crouch

[As soon as he has sent that message, he knocks on the door to Merope's room.]

My Lady Merope?

[ And everyone threw a party! ]

Sounds like we're both down a leader now, the way you're talking.

Just a guess, though. Maybe just best friends?

What! That's bullshit. He was helping me with my power.

No, I can't make that claim. Although it's complicated, of course, because he who was here was years younger than I am now and the man I used to follow had years on me.

Complicated. Asgard.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Perhaps I can replace him in some manner.

Oh, you poor thing, I assure you I'm positively heart broken on your behalf. Whatever will you do now?

On a related but vastly more important note, did he have any stuff we can take? I assume you have access to his room? I could use new pillows.

Are you good at that stuff?

We've got more in common than I thought. Magneto's always at least forty years too young when he shows up here, probably more.

You were hooked up with Voldemort. Huh. Only talked to him once, but he was smooth. Definitely got me listening.

What's your plan now?

I'll do the same I have before. Among other things that includes not letting you touch my Lord's things.

No innuendo required.

Probably not as good as he was. What is your power?

Body manipulation.

Look at that. It seems to be common enough, many of the people I knew as older from back when and where I came from are younger here.

He's always been good at making people listen.

What I do by myself won't be impacted that much. I'll have to decide on what to do for the Lady Merope, though.

I can definitely attempt. How did he help you?

It's a pain in the ass, huh.

Who's Merope? Never met her.

His mother.

...it's complicated is putting things mildly, really, so. You're right.

Bloody pain.

People are shitting on his mom for things he did?

Not like I care about family, but that's still lame as hell.

It's rather kindergarten level, just with more threats of violence.

I thought holding things people hadn't even done yet against them was bad. Shit. Your world wins the asshole award this time.

[Merope makes a choked noise which might have been a "come in" or just a choked sob. When Barty enters, he will find her laying on the bed with her hair in disarray and her face buried in her pillow.

She has been trying to calm herself and be brave, she has really been trying her hardest, but life has been crueler to her than she can endure.

To give her a second chance only to snatch it away just as she came to have faith in it...]

It's people here in Asgard, actually, so I reckon we both win.

Hurrah.

I thought before you just did what you were told like a good boy? -- Well, actually, no. I suppose you didn't. He never much cared for me and yet we spent many an hour together. Can't imagine he loved that.

And they're not your Lord's things. They're just things now. Let's put them to good use and make them things that I happen to have.

My condolences, you will inform me if she has need.

It would be foolish to expect an honest answer of this, so we shall attribute it the follies of relative youth; yourself? How do you fare?

I'm guessing that's thanks to the big rant about "Tom" and how no one should let him decide who he wants to be. Something every fucking person has the right to do.

[He's still bitter about that, as someone who both rejected his past and changed his name to escape it, and knows many others who did the same. Pyro actually hasn't kept abreast of all the hideous things Voldemort did do in Asgard, so his lingering memories are only of a charismatic leader getting dragged through the mud on very personal grounds.

Look, he didn't even need to spin things himself this time, his limited experience did it for him.]

Thank you. I would have contacted you, concerning her, had you not approached me first.

Right now I am mostly just focusing on her. It has impact on me, but I will do as I have done regardless. And, for more honesty than expected: Keep more of my income to myself.
