[executionerqueen]

Ah, my dear, dear human.

Don't you have better things to do? Come now, my puppet, you are wasting my time. Perhaps if you give me a realm to conquer? At least you are convinced that I am the rightful queen of Asgard, even if it means nothing to me.

I have realms to conquer, and I will do so, no matter the cost. Odin is dead. I am queen.

It is only a little noisy in this 'headspace' of yours. The blue-skinned alien will make an excellent executioner. Perhaps even more so than Skurge. He shall execute my vision.

And you? You, my dear human, shall be the most excellent spectator of all. You will help me implement my vision. I do not take no for an answer.

Ooh, another wanna-be conquerer of the galaxy? That’s so last season.

[executionerqueen]

[ She merely smiles, slightly. ]

I am guessing that you are another 'wanna-be' hero. I am bored already.

[zunesareawesome]

Two-time galaxy saver here, so definitely not a ‘wanna-be’.

[executionerqueen]

[ She scoffs. ]

And you're...proud of that record? My dear, it must be so awfully small and boring in that brain of yours.

[zunesareawesome]

Yes, I’m proud—it would suck if it was ‘one-time-galaxy-saver-but-we-failed-the-second-time-and-now-everybody’s-dead’.

My brain is anything but boring, lady. I’ve got some really messed up stuff floating around in there!

[executionerqueen]

Hmph. I'm sure they're only of interest to you.

i am, so sorry

[zetsubouchan]

Whoa whoa whoa that's crazy talk!! First of all it's rude to conquer a realm without making them suffer for it first? Do you know how much despair and suffering you waste that way?????

it's okay lol

[executionerqueen]

[ Hela knows she's dealing with an amateur, here, and she smiles, first slightly, then broadly. Only the tiniest bit of patience teetering on the edge of stabbing. ]

My dear, I am the goddess of death. I have done a fair bit of that in my youth, alongside my father, who cast me out when my ambition eclipsed his. My, of course I will not waste any despair and suffering. Realms are conquered and held together by blood and despair, not by peace treaties and amity.

You, I would rather assume, are new to this.

[zetsubouchan]

Oh...okay...Junko-chan sees how it is. [Junko just sort of. Droops. It's practically audible.] Some people...think that killing them first is better, you know...? But there's not any despair to be found in a quick death, except for the people who don't expect to watch it...

It's such a nice feeling to draw it out and torture them...

[executionerqueen]

[ She laughs. She rather likes this discussion. ]

Isn't it, dear? You get to watch as not only their life but also their paltry hopes and dreams drains out from their eyes. Oh, I tell you, it is one of the best feelings in life.

And that, darling, is how you properly subdue a realm. Not through peace treaties and friendship, no, but through bloody conquest. Kill and torture and subdue who you must. Show no mercy.

[eyesofthebifrost]

You had a realm to conquer. You simply had to conquer Surtur to do it. And, if you were successful, that would make you queen of ash and ruin, for that is all that is left of the once-mighty Asgard. That is your realm, Hela. That is your reality.

That is your legacy, to rule over desolation and death. It would seem that you got exactly what you wanted.

[executionerqueen]

One would think that a god who runs away from his post and deserted Asgard during its time of need would do better than to try and preach empty words to another. But not you, Heimdall. Not that Asgard is in any way needed you or had a time of need, [ she smiles, one of her enigmatic smiles, ] it simply had a change of ruler. One that you cannot accept. That is your reality, Heimdall.

I am the rightful Queen of Asgard, Heimdall. And if that means I am queen of ash and ruin, and rule over desolation and death, then so be it.

And, it would seem that you got exactly what you wanted, by running away. My soldiers back during my time as Odin's executioner would never turn their back on the throne. My, my, times really do have changed, doesn't it?

[eyesofthebifrost]

Can one rule over rubble and dust? If I recall, while you were busy threatening and spouting platitudes, I was busy stealing away the heart and soul of Asgard. It's people are it's future, Hela. Without them? You have nothing to rule.

A skull cannot worship you, cannot sing your praises nor fear your wrath. A skeleton, brought to its feet by your powers still cannot answer your demands. Tell me, do you enjoy the silence? Rather like the grave, is it not?

I got exactly what I wanted. Asgard's people are safe. I have helped protect them from your insanity, your tyranny. Asgard's people are Asgard's future, so enjoy residing in that cemetery that was once your home. In that, nothing has changed after all, has it?

i'm sorry it took me forever jajshajsajd

[executionerqueen]

[ Oh, that definitely gets on her nerves. Hela grits her teeth, hissed at Heimdall. ]

Nothing has changed because you are still a traitor to the throne and I will kill you, Heimdall. Enough with the small talk. I tire of it. Sheathe that tongue of yours and show me what you got.

[ NO, HELA, YOU CAN'T DO THAT. ]

I told you, my stupid, useless human, you are just going to be a spectator. Now you get to watch while I turn this god of traitors to dust, and there's nothing you can do about it.

And I am sorry because work and rl took my soullllllll

[eyesofthebifrost]

[And that simply causes Heimdall to raise an eyebrow. Seriously, Hela?]

Is this how you spurred others on to combat? By wrathful challenge or command? I am not so young as those you have fought and killed, and I shall not be goaded into battle like an un-blooded einharjar.

I fight when I choose, Hela. I fight when I deem it worthy, when I decide that the battle is a righteous one, worthy of killing - of being killed. And I can ignore the title of traitor when uttered through the jaws of tyrants. For who after all, is left alive to hear you, hmm? Who but the echoes of those who fled your rule, leaving you with nothing.
No one.

You cannot touch me, you cannot wound me with words no matter how venomous your lips may be.

[liorafae]

Who would actually give you a realm to conquer?

[executionerqueen]

Tsk, tsk. No one gives me a realm, my child. I take them, with blood and death and war. Being given a realm is an offense to the conqueror. A queen like me conquers. I did not accept offerings.

[liorafae]

[The little dragon twists her mouth.]

...But you just suggested that your mun should give you a realm to conquer.

[Just what did that crack mean then?]

[executionerqueen]

Ah, yes. That is because it is rather boring here in his headspace. There are only two other people here, and a boy who doesn't talk much. It is not much of a realm, is it? Certainly nothing like the splendour of Asgard.

[liorafae]

...So you just meant that your mun should release you from his headspace and maybe put you in one of these...games?

[At least that's what muns usually call these other worlds...]

[executionerqueen]

Perhaps. [ It never occurred to her until now. She smiles, not a good smile. ] Do you have any suggestion of where I should start first, my dear? Perhaps you can give me--I mean us--some ideas.

[liorafae]

Well, I'm already in a place called Genessia. My mun says it's easy to get into; you don't even have to fill out an application. You just...

[...Oh shit, what is she doing?]

...Are you going to conquer it?

[executionerqueen]

[ She just smiled, and smiled, and smiled. ]

We shall see. Thank you, my dear. Your cooperation will be rewarded.

[liorafae]

[And Liora just has more and more bad feelings. She's not even sure that she wants this reward...]

You're...welcome? But...who are you, exactly?

[executionerqueen]

I'm Hela, my dear. People of Midgard knows me as the Goddess of Death, and I am. However, I am also the rightful queen of Asgard.

The only ruler that Asgard needed.

[liorafae]

I...don't understand why any realm would need someone who associates with death as a ruler...

[Hela's starting to remind her of Erebus, and that's terrifying. Erebus is terrifying enough on his own, but the idea that there are more like him...it's more than Liora can bear.]

[executionerqueen]

I am the firstborn daughter of Odin. [ Her tone is sharp, and her expression sharper. ] A little lesson for you, darling. Odin was my father, and he's dead.

I am his heir. His true heir. I will kill my brothers if that is what's necessary to have my realm.

[liorafae]

[Liora's just going to keep on acting nervous. Until her own home is in danger, that is.]

I don't know who Odin is... So there is...competition for the realm then?

[executionerqueen]

He's my father. Was my father. Until he banished me, that is.

[ Now that's a sore topic for Hela, still. ]

I wouldn't say so since they're not much of a competition. But yes, I suppose so.

[liorafae]

I...see. It...must be hard...

[Probably harder for these brothers. Liora doesn't ask why Hela was banished, because she's guessing that Hela must have done something to deserve it.]

[executionerqueen]

Not quite. I do not care much about my father, nor do I care about my brothers.

I am back in Asgard now, Ragnarok is here, and that is all that matters.

[ It is a lie because she does care about her father. She cares. Too much. And the banishment had hurt, especially when she saw that he had erased her from the family tapestry. As if she doesn't exist at all. ]

[liorafae]

So, you're back in Asgard, and your father is...dead. Does that mean you've inherited the realm now?

[executionerqueen]

That's rather clear, isn't it?

[liorafae]

I suppose it is...

[She lowers her frills, as if in defeat.]

hover for translation

[lowercase_groot]

[Groot fixes her with a stare.]

I am Groot?

LMFAO GROOT

[executionerqueen]

I do not know what manner of creature you are, nor can I be bothered to answer you.

Re: LMFAO GROOT

[lowercase_groot]

I am Groot!

[executionerqueen]

[ Hela simply shrugs. She truly doesn't care. ]

Begone. I have no need to talk to the likes of you.

[will_be_god]

To what ends do you seek to conquer? What, ultimately, do you believe in?

[executionerqueen]

Ah, my dear, that is the question. Why, all the realms I could conquer, of course. Asgard deserves to be once more the shining beacon, the centre of civilisation in the midst of all the realms out there. Why stop at nine realms when you can have more?

[ She paused for a moment, smiling. ]

Ultimately, that is what I believe in. What do you believe in, darling?

[will_be_god]

I believe in justice. In peace for all things. For that, even the gods themselves must be toppled.

We cannot cling to our violence. Society cannot advance in that state.
