NPC POST - VIDEO

[asgardswisdom]

[ This is Odin's first real public appearance since the martial law was first instated, an intentional move after the whole traitor fiasco, and despite his standard crisp black suit and ramrod straight posture, the King of Asgard is still looking a little rough around the edges. A muscle jumps in his jaw right before he begins speaking. ]

There's a decision to be made. You handled the last with a surprising amount of grace and reason, and for your hand in both getting us to this point and in the war at large, we'll give you say in this one as well.

You returned from Mimisbrunnr with the information we needed to recover Tyr's soul from Thiazi's grasp, but we've been waiting for the right moment. We need to be prepared, because as soon as we make our move, she's going to know, and she's going to be pissed.

[ At least for that much, he almost looks pleased, insofar as the only change in his demeanor being a sort of fire in his eyes. It's short lived. ]

So. Before we perform the ritual, we need to decide what to do with Tyr's soul once we have it. This is where you come in. My colleagues and I will be around to answer any questions you might have, but seeing as this is a largely personal matter for many of us, I'll remind you lot to either keep it professional or keep it to yourself.

[ Looking @ u, Freyr and Loki and any other bleeding hearts in the audience. ]

We need to act fast, so you have until sundown. And one last word of caution - [ As personal as Odin will get for this post, with an imperceptible glare. ] - do not take this lightly.

[ OOC NOTES: This is the IC discussion regarding whether or not to resurrect Tyr! The poll is still open until Oct. 16 at 11:59PM CST, so hash things out and make sure to vote!! Let us know if you have any questions or if you'd like to request an NPC in specific for your thread! ]

Yes, because that's a brilliant plan after what he's just gone through.

What option would you choose then?

Let his soul rest. Hasn't he been through enough? This will put more of a burden on Tyr, one that he doesn't deserve. He isn't like Freyr, he isn't coming back ... untainted by it. But what you're offering isn't to give him more life, but to give him the chance to hurt others more. Even if we can find information this way, there are better choices available.

It's just ... not a very good idea.

I'm not asking him to be brought back to life. This is only temporary, enough to ask him what he wants instead of making assumptions.

And if you die in the process? If something happens to ensure that you, or someone else who offers, cannot be resurrected? He has already passed.

[It's tempting to tell him that he's already dead in his world. That his body here is only temporary until he goes back home.

But not here. Not in public. And he absolutely won't share information that personal with a stranger.]

That's up to him, isn't it?

You don't understand. He's already died. That's ... that's how death works, as much as I hate to admit it. We're not supposed to be able to cheat it the way that we do here, but we do. I've cheated death in the past, but I've also faced it head on, and I really think that we shouldn't be discussing resurrection as if it's our own.

[Oh he understands. He's understood about death since he was 7. He's faced Death head on too, and died in the process. But even then, he didn't simply disappear right away. He still hung on, wanting to fulfill the final promise with SEES, and to this day he still believes, it was worth it.]

Like I said, whether he lives or not depends on his own will.

Life passes on, and there's no ultimate avoiding of the end. But it's up to each individual how they want to pass on. No one can make that decision for us, and we shouldn't decide that for him either. Otherwise, what would his life have meant?

And in the process, you, or any others who might follow in your steps, might die. He'll have the burden of that, along with everything that Thiazi has used him for after he died the first time.

[He breathes out after a moment, uneasy.]

It's not up to every person, though. The world is not so ... perfect as that.
