Well. These past few curses have been particularly awful.

Apologies to anyone who died or was maimed when I- we- ran amuck. It was the curse, I swear it is so.

Which brings me to my point, in an effort to try and ensure this does not happen again, I need someone to volunteer, to give consent for me to try and use a magical means to attempt to break the City's hold on them when next they are cursed.

Volunteers?

Yes, I could feel the sympathy perfectly.

I tried.

[asofwar]

You may go down in history as the god of trying.

[tangledintower]

Are you trying to mess around with that glowstick that Loki left here?

Are you sure that's a good idea? I'm pretty sure that's dangerous...

[doeswhathewants]

But you do believe me?

[doeswhathewants]

It is not the thing that is evil, but the intentions behind it. My intentions are perfectly altruistic.

[asofwar]

I believed your words. Of regretting having control taken from you.

[tangledintower]

I know they are...but how sure are we that the object isn't evil? What if it corrupts its user if they use it for long enough?

[doeswhathewants]

And that my motives for pursing this are not for my sole benefit?

[doeswhathewants]

I had it for a week before turning it over to Agent Coulson. And I am not corrupted.

[asofwar]

You spin the words skillfully, we both know that. However, I noticed a distinct lack of any mention towards the magical means itself.

[tangledintower]

That's true. But who knows? A week might not be long enough for it...or I may be worrying about nothing.

[doeswhathewants]

The scepter? It has the power of the cube, we ought to at least try, any weapon in the arsenal against the city gods is a good weapon, yes? And if this fails, there is no reason to further pursue the scepter.

[doeswhathewants]

I will be careful, Rapunzel. Harry will hopefully be there. And Sif.

[tangledintower]

Okay, well, at least they'll be there.

I wish I could help, somehow, but I don't think I'd be very useful...

[asofwar]

We are returning to the same argument again. The scepter is not in your possession to command, is it?

[beyourarmy]

Hold up. One thing. How does you getting consent to use magical means on someone else in a curse prevent you from doing bad stuff during a curse?

On the prowl for -- what's the word? -- suckers?

[harrydresden]

Apologies. Stars and stones.

[doeswhathewants]

No. But I thought that is what you meant.

[doeswhathewants]

You could always stand by with your frying pan to whack me on the head if I start to go wicked?

[tangledintower]

You know I'll always be there to knock sense into you when you need it. Okay, I'll be there.

[doeswhathewants]

If those means are able to disrupt the city gods' power, then they can be used on anyone.

[doeswhathewants]

It should be perfectly safe.

Mostly.

[doeswhathewants]

it was not my fault in the first place.
