Private to the Admiral THEN PUBLIC HEY JERKS HE NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION.

[lacksconviction]

[This is a tentative post, and Loki's voice has the faltering quality of a man who suspects he may be talking to himself:]

Admiral? There are questions I have which I do not believe anyone else here is qualified to answer.

First among which may be the most futile of them:

Are you listening?

[EDITED IN LATER: Public]

[Hey Barge, Loki is just going to make this conversation with the Admiral, fully public.]

I must indeed be becoming tiresome with my questioning today, because I have one more. This one for the wardens, for those of you serving this man willingly:

Why?

Yes, I have asked before, and yes I've heard answers. For your deal, for your inmate, for the sake of doing some good in the universe, but I wonder how you justify it to yourselves. To serve an entity who not only is little known, but actively refuses to surrender his intentions, the masters which he serves, or even the reward which he will reap for his work in controlling all of us.

I have been told by many among you that he is not a God, but what other beings deal in secrecy and souls?

Why are you content with this?

Prey tell me, that I might lay to rest my fears about what more this place is, than just a prison.

[A 100% honest answer would....not be this. :T]

No. And I still don't. Good and bad things happen here, either by chance or because someone wills them so. Sometimes they can be prevented or stopped, sometimes you just have to weather them. That's what life is.

Here I am. [He steps away from the bag.]

Come amuse me, if that's all you've got to do.

Wasn't it obvious? Nothing blinds so readily and so completely as the promise of infinite reward.

I loathe having so little information and so many unanswered questions. But, as an old acquaintance of mine used to say, "needs must."

[He smiles slightly, because he's quoting Braxiatel and he hates Braxiatel. But they do agree on some things, like pragmatism.]

I shouldn't say "exceptionally", but I do like to consider myself enthusiastic.

I know it works. Frankly, I don't care too much what the Admiral's motivations are, as long as I get the deal I was promised.

Way I figure it? Can't exactly be much worse than the "real" world.

[persuadeyou]

I have. But I doubt that puts you at ease.

[The vaguest, briefest of maybe-chuckles.] Intrinsic will to submit. That would make things easier, wouldn't it? If it exists in them, it's smothered by their arrogance.

[aggravating]

Yeah, well, sanity's overrated. You either lose it in your twenties or it's beaten out of you as soon as you actually have to fend for yourself.

[He's just gonna think the wind always blows from there, man. He likes you, but he also knows you're pretty much a nut job]

Seriously? Naked people don't do much for you? What, you more of a erotica and trashy novel kind of man?

Willful ignorance is easier, is it not? [There's more than a touch of bitterness in her voice.]

[yeahscience]

Because I know this place works. Don't ask me how, but it does.

Or it... can, anyways.

And that means the deals are worth it, if you got something important enough to deal for.
