    A physical copy of this investigation on compact disc. Also contains dossiers on the main suspects in the case, and a map of the Bifrost's destinations in the Yggdrasil system.

    All CDs are shipped by two handsome and well dressed band members. There’s no warehouse or company to handle it for us.

    That means we can’t promise a specific shipping time; we’ll do our best to send off a set of orders each week, but if we’re not around you might be waiting a bit longer. Feel free to contact us through bandcamp if it’s been a few weeks, though, and we’ll be happy to help.

    Additionally, we can’t support orders of more than 4 CDs for shipping reasons. If you make an order for more, we will be in touch to refund & cancel your order.

    If you do want to make an order for additional CDs, please go through the checkout for the first set, and then start a new order.

lyrics

Odin, there's been near a century of your rule
But now all that I see is just an ageing fool
You waste Asgard's wealth on this train
And your mercy's defiled Loki's brain
When your doomed projects fail I will be there take up the reins

Thor / Odin

T: Loki deserved to die in her right mind
O: Her knowledge of the track could not be left behind
T: You tried and condemned her to die / O: So far through the aether we'd fly
T: But hid her and now we know why / O: To hold close our destiny nigh
T: You traded your honour for folly and you’re nothing in my eyes / O: I could not let honour prevent us from piercing the sky

Argument

Thor
Shut up and listen to reason, for once
Whilst she’s alive, you’re in danger, we’re all in danger, the train is in danger,
Everything you have worked for is in danger!
Either you take care of her, or I will

Odin:
I’m sorry you feel that way (*gestures*)
This gentleman will escort you to a private compartment where you will remain for the rest of the journey.
You’ll find your resignation letter set out on the desk.
Please feel free to sign it at your own leisure

Thor:
Fuck you, and fuck your train
You’ll pay for this, you’ll all pay


Thor:

Listen very close, and hear what I say
I promise on my life you will regret this day
Now I won’t sing your praise any more
And you’ve lost sight of what you stood for
I don’t care if my vengeance will lead us into civil war
I will hound you, you’ve got no idea what’s in store
I will burn down your train, [leave you ruined and poor]
And they’ll swear their allegiance to Thor
