[CommLink] DO NOT BE ALARMED

[heavenwithin]

The barrier is up, at this very moment, despite attempts to breach Asgard's grounds.

You will all be safe tonight, Asgardians.


[ooc: The barrier was down for exactly 1 minute. No more, no less, from Magnus' attempts.]

Metatron... please allow me to ask...

What kind of considerations should be made if this happens in the future?

[heavenwithin]

There is nothing wrong with an honest question.

As far as considerations go - my being is dedicated towards this protection so that you all have a safe place to train, practice and rest. The barrier broke only for a moment - and shortly after, I managed to bring that barrier back up.

My strength increases as You, those chosen for Asgard, strengthen yourselves. Explore - cautiously - this world; learn of each other, conquer your beasts. As you do so, my hold on this world becomes stronger and my protection and abilities to assist you all extend. They are abilities I had before coming to this world - however, you could say that you are not the only individuals suffering from a sort of 'lockdown' on their abilities...

Similar enough, I suppose? It is difficult to put it into words, this first time. I hope I am not too unclear. Does my answer help you?

[divineddestiny]

It does, Metatron. Thank you.

[shampoofu]

You is enemy, yes?

You, I kill later.

You are far from safe.

[magnusthered]

Nothing you do will prevent me from repeating that whenever I desire.

Asgardians; a word to the wise. There are no angels where I come from. Only demons with fair skin.

Re: You are far from safe.

[divineddestiny]

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.

For my fellows and allies: Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your protector.

If you take the life of any Asgardian, I assure you, I will make it my duty to be the first. No one else will die if I am near.

You could take my body. Kill me. Destroy me. Sustain me and put me in everlasting torment. My soul... will always be hers. I know no despair greater than being in her service.

My God knows no fear. Knows no mercy. Knows no compassion.

You act like I know nothing of angels and demons.

I am unsure of who you are or where you come from, but you and I are the same. As the very words you speak are in service to the destruction your God, Lucifer, wills. No matter what your power may be, you follow the path laid out for you by something greater. How far does that path go? Does it end where you, yourself, will it to? Or will it remain a road of servitude forever?

Re: You are far from safe.

[magnusthered]

Even with my insight into what may be, I know not of where my path ends.

I will, however, have you know this; we are not the same. No chains bind me now. I act on my own volition. No amount of suffering or rewards Lucifer could inflict could dissuade me from my own path.

I'm sorry I cannot remove the bounds on your soul. Your deity's might exceeds my own at present.

Re: You are far from safe.

[divineddestiny]

I would not ask for your help, Niflheimer, even if you did possess the strength. Within the claim of my soul lies more than might; within it lies purpose.

Your plans may be grand and your powers exceptional, but you are in servitude, of this there is no mistake. Lucifer is not a deity whose advocacy should be taken lightly. He may lead you to commit acts that cannot be undone.

Is your goal mightier, to use your own words, than the will of a malicious, supernatural being? Or perhaps do you believe that between Lucifer and yourself, you are the greater malicious supernatural being?

I CAN THINK OF A FEW THINGS. YOU WOULDN'T B THE FIRST OR THE BIGGEST HOT-SHIT DEMON I'VE EATEN.

NO ARGUMENT ON THE ANGEL PART. EXCEPT FOR THE SUNTANNED GUY ON OUR TEAM, I GUESS.

[shampoofu]

You eat demon? What kind demon you like? Demon is nearby? Purchase cooking of demons, yes? Shampoo excellent chef, make too, too delicious demon ramen!

Incorrect. They are all safe.

[heavenwithin]

You are quite arrogant. Goodness.

I am sorry, whatever suffering you must have endured in your world. Even so, I must protect my chosen from you, no matter how you strain my barriers.

Re: You are far from safe.

[bleachblondbeefcake]

Yeah, I'm gonna shit in your pillowcase, buddy.

[vialtruths]

Once again, Lucifer sends the sheep scrambling because a bull huffed at the door.

[fistsandfigures]

*snrk.*

Ok, that one was pretty good, short stuff.

Also, if tensions are running so high, some good old fashioned excessive violence is always a relevant cure.

Any takers?
