Revolution: Open to All

Summary; Glorious chaotic revolution
Log;
Two mashed together revolutions have just broken out in the City tonight. There's yelling, and violence, and fires, and a march on important City buildings. It's not particularly organised. Everyone seems to just be acting as loud and noisy as possible.

One question remains: are you hiding from the riot, or are you a part of it?

[It doesn't take all that long. Luke is out in the middle of it--it's chaos, after all--and he likes Axl. So he waves at him, grinning, the moment he catches his eye.]

Cheer up, Axl! If you're going to be protecting people, you might as well have fun.

Bro. What the fuck is all this?

[You look far too happy to not be to blame for it.]

Dictator deposition. You can't do that sort of thing without it getting a little bit messy. It'll be alright in the end, Axl, no fear.

Alright in the end? People are getting hurt.

Oh Axl, isn't a little pain worth it for a much greater happiness in the end? Your brothers left. They needn't have, you know. Or perhaps you and Zeb might have joined them. Wouldn't more choice be nice?

Not like this. What did you do to everyone?

I incited revolution, what do you think? Everyone here is someone who wants to be involved. I'm not the god of mind control.

Yeah but you are the god of all this chaos and fire and shit. Don't pretend you're doing this for some greater good bro. You just like fucking this shit up.

[Look he has a sword and he's sick and tired of all this and he wants goddamn answers.]

Tell me what you did. Now.

I am doing, Axl. That's all I did. People want change more than you think. [He's not intimidated by your sword, bro.]

[Yeah fuck this shit, he grabs Luke one-handed to slam him into the wall. He knows he can't hurt him but it feels good anyway.]

And you think this is going to actually do anything? You think that lot are gonna be like, oh shit they set stuff on fire? Better let them go now. Bullshit, mate.

[Ooomph! Luke could burn Axl off him, theoretically, but. He likes him. Also for all he knows, that will trigger some other sort of Odin thing. Better safe than sorry.]

There are other things at play, in this! [He sounds winded.] There are other ways to achieve chaos for chaos's sake. This has more to it. We want to overthrow the deities, not irk them.

Really, because it sure seems like you're just succeeding in hurting a lot of people and pissing them off more.

I'm not responsible for everyone here. If they want to take things farther than I intended, it's not on my head.

Yeah, it is. You started it.

God, I thought you were better than Colin about this shit. Nothing's ever your fault, is it?

It's not. I take responsibility when it is but all I did was spark what was already there. I'm trying to help, Axl. Does that not count for anything?

Not when it ends up like this.

[He's still angry but he can't direct it all at Luke, not yet. He's still got his sword in his hand and he doesn't trust himself to do something stupid with it yet.]

I'm helping them get this under control.

[His voice is calmer than usual, more sure. The only time Luke would ever have heard him sound like this is from the memory with Anders.]

Helping the deities!?

[And then Serrure was just going to sidle out from his hiding place that he'd dove into because Axl has his sword out. That cannot be good.]

It's a revolution, Axl. We intend to overthrow the deities and make things better. This is for the greater good. [And to prove they can, but let's keep that quiet!]

You seemed alright, I can't believe you buy into this shit. This isn't going to change anything.

Axl. [His expression melts to a sadder one.] What else is there? Doing as they say? Being subject to their whims? I see thee nay!

And you think violence and property damage is going to make them anything other than way more pissed and likely to take it out on everyone?

Axl, Axl, thinking of the effects if we lose is as good as saying we cannot succeed.

You already have lost.

[He's not really mad at Serrure, just disappointed. He's taking his sword and pent up anger elsewhere.]

I'm helping stop this before anyone else gets hurt.

Have we? The true battle's not yet begun.

[But oh god, Axl, Axl. Don't be disappointed in him. Nooo, anything but that.]

You lost when people on your side started getting hurt.
