[ Hello Asgard, for this fine day the video starts by focusing on this before swinging around for this view. There's a soft sigh and then the camera focuses on V in all his tattooed glory complete with a slight smile and a touch of flour smeared on his cheek. Oops he missed a spot. ]

Hello, do forgive my manners but I am... unsure how else to announce this. I've newly arrived though I have spoken to a few of you before the... business with the White Walkers. And while the whole affair left us with few answers I am loathed to dwell on such at this time. Instead... I'm announcing the opening of a new venture of mine, at first started for a close... friend of mine, but now open to share with all

[ Sorry Vergil he just looks only slightly apologetic over this next bit. ] Gilver's features pizza as well as other Italian foods, though I do believe the Natives will accommodate other cuisine if given time and direction. It's located in Njord's district and will be open for all starting today.

[ He nods and hesitates for a few seconds before adding. ] Stop by when you can, Dante. Same for the rest of you.

( Sigyn has discovered an affinity for food, especially strange delicacies that the Wanderers seemed to have cooked up back home. In fact, that this post is about some sort of food is basically all she understands about it. )

Oh, oh excuse me! ( The video shows her in shaded lighting, currently under a dome of roses that she considers her Goddess temple hidey-hole. Her hand is in the air, as if waiting to be called on -- though she continues anyway. ) Can you...describe a pizza? I don't know how to picture it in my mind. Or what it is, at all, really.

Most importantly, is it what Wanderers would call sweet?

[ Oh it is a food, a most special food and V finally wipes off the flour on his cheek and smiles. ]

Ah, you never had any before? [ A silly question, but he had to make sure. ] Pizza is a type of flat bread coated with tomato sauce, cheeses and anything else you desire. I do believe that it can be made sweet by instead layering icing and sugars over the bread and adding fruits.

And might any stop by for this... um... pizza?

It is free for all who wish to have some.

[ Peter was working outside of his ship when he decided to check the network. If V pays attention to the video, he might notice that behind the man there's a wooden, half built structure. And that he has a weasel calmly draped over his shoulder, his familiar Sandy. ]

I've been explaining pizza and pasta to some of the people here, now we finally have a place for them. Thank you, it looks great. I'll make sure to visit.

It took me some... convincing for them to grasp the idea, but I think it helped that I could describe it with some details. The hardest part was the cheese and meats but once that was figured out, the rest was easy.

I hope you enjoy when you do stop by.

[madcuriosity]

You did it, Mr. V! You made pizza! Now we can have some together!

[splitinvain]

I did indeed, Miss Alice. We certainly care share some if you wish.

[Unfortunately, there's no way to disguise what he is. He probably wouldn't, if there were. Yep. Skeleton. An excited one!]

Oh, pizza! I always wanted to try some. Not easy to find where I was. You don't mind...?

[splitinvain]

[ And V doesn't even blink at the appearance of a talking skeleton. Granted this was a man who locked eyes with his monstrous Nightmare and fought against hoards of demons carrying little more than his cane and a worn book of poetry. A skeleton was nothing in the face of all that. ]

No, I don't. It is free for any who wishes to have some.

[ Things you missed: confusion, remembering, more confusion, speechless horror, and rage, all expressed in the deepest, most aggrieved sigh. And all before he even considers using his own bracelet to respond.

Surely you expected at least this. ]

Really?

[splitinvain]

My apologies, but using V would have been trite... and I was sure that if I went with any of Dante's name he would expect more than what he could possibly eat.

ah, i'm so glad the near apocalypse and death and revivals of our compatriots has not killed off an entrepreneurial spirit. i almost respect it.

seems as if i'll have to teach a few locals my preferred foods.

[text]

[splitinvain]

They are rather easily taught despite their lack of knowledge in some matters.

However, this only started because I wished to make a favorite food for someone close to me... the Natives decided to turn it into what it is now.

[ What you don't miss, in Dante's case, is something of a thousand yard stare as he tries very hard to find words... any words. He opens his mouth, only to close it again, a moment later he opens his mouth again, only to close it again.

Nope.

He's got nothing to say to this─ wait no, that's wrong. He has plenty to say to this but the words just aren't coming. At all.

He's torn between being overjoyed, touched, and utterly horrified at the chosen name of this new establishment. The guiding light in his life that he should be overjoyed for now existing. ]

Dammit, V.

[ In the end Dante settles for burying his face in his hands and groaning. ]

[splitinvain]

[ He can imagine. In so many ways, the name is horrifying to him on one level, but on the other level he just couldn't tell the natives no. They were just so earnest and nice about it that when he blurted out Gilver, he couldn't just say no and try something else.

So. Here they were. Having to live with the ridiculous name that Vergil had come up with when he thought he was being clever. Right before he realized he was a light-weight in the drinking department. ]

It was either my last name or my grandmother's name. They had been most insistent in that.

Holy crap, pizza. How did I forget about pizza?

[ Here, have a nice view of V sitting against a bench in all his tattooed glory - though there is something a bit odd about the tattoos. ]

One thought fills immensity... Perhaps you were busy?

This is normal pizza, right? No bullshit. None of that we do pizza different here in the "realm of Gods," noise?

Because if so- I'm there, but I don't want any more hackney bullshit.

Improvement makes straight roads,
but the crooked roads without Improve-

[ V looks entirely slightly amused, in that there's a slight smirk on his face. He also is probably one of the more goth of residents that hasn't found a shirt yet to cover all those tattoos he has. And he also was looking at a worn book with a large 'V' stamped on the front. ]

It is what we can make given what we have around us. There might be some deviations due to this world not having what is usual, but I think we came as close as we can.

[sassery]

[You know, he was gonna ask what the name meant, but seeing Vergil and Dante's reaction? Has him nearly in quiet stitches.]

Gilver... [Wait. Wait. Oh my god, how did he not notice this before? Gilver. Vergil. W e l p.

Nero snorts, holding back a laugh bc V is honestly the last person in the family he'd want to laugh at.]

You know, I think the natives will get used to having something like pizza around. I'm surprised Dante survived this long without it. That and strawberry sundaes.

voice;

[splitinvain]

Quite. [ Go on ahead, laugh at it. It is such a stupid name and he has so many regrets about it. ]

I hope so. I've already given them hints about dessert pizzas, though of a more healthier variety than icing and sugar. I'm also thinking on the making of pastas as well.

Are you the cook?

I have a hand in the process, why?

[ At the top of her lungs: ]

PIZZA!!

[ Have an image of V as he rubs one of his ears while frowning at the feed. ]

I'm sure they heard you two countries away... but yes. Pizza.

[darksoulwithlight]

[This is some incredible news right here, she can feel her stomach growling just thinking about it.

First things first though.]

Okay V, be honest with me now.

Do you have pepperoni?

[splitinvain]

[ He's happy to provide, though he will admit that he didn't expect this kind of turn out over pizza. ]

I usually am with you. [ Left over stuff from Vergil? Just polite because he's V? Who knows. ]

Yes.

[ragnarsson]

What is this pizza of which you speak? Is it related to spaghetti?

[Someone has been woefully deprived of real food in his life. Viking diets were notoriously bland.]

Video

[splitinvain]

It bears a slight resemblance in that it has the same basis in the sauce, but it's more of a... flatbread that is covered in many things then baked. If you wish, you can come try some.
