Video; Where's The Laughter in Slaughter?

[When the camera gets turned on, the first thing to note is that Ivar's face is streaked in blood that has only just started to dry in places. Someone's been out worshiping with the natives in a fashion very familiar to a Viking. If y'all hadn't gotten the impression Ivar was a bloodthirsty barbarian from a bygone era, the imagery is definitely reinforced with the dripping red streaks on his face. Also is that some around his lips as well? Has he been drinking the stuff too? Honestly, though, he seems quite pleased by what's been going on even if everyone else might be disturbed by the casual slaughter of the cows. His tone starts off very serious, since worship is important where he's from.]

About time this place started getting some proper worship going. I know most of you all are from soft places-- [The scorn in his tone is obvious.] --but blood sacrifices are always the best when giving due diligence to these gods where I am from. Blood demands blood, especially if you want them to be on your side in battle, or to favor you at all. It's really not all that different then slaughtering animals for food, just with more rituals and rites to it.

[Then he switches back to his usual tone that ranges somewhere between insanity and half-truths end tends to indulge in.]

It's a good thing we finally got the right sort of animals around here. Otherwise, I might have had to resort to sacrificing one of you. [He muses for a moment before laughing.] I'm joking of course! [Beat.] Human sacrifices only work if they're willing participants.

[OOC: This post is for a general discussion, so feel free to have threads amongst all the characters and thread-jacking rather then just talking with Ivar. Do let me know if you do want a specific thread with him! He has rather...strong opinions about this.]

Great! Talk to you later.

[ Or something. Ugh. ]

And you begin to grasp our problem. [ He smiles tiredly ]

It was said that we would learn to envy Men, for you come and go, visitors in the world, where we are bound to it, unceasing. And behold, it is so, for war does things to the soul, Ivar. Especially when one has been fighting for as long as I have.

You think I've never felt lonely before?

You must be very strong to have survived it. [It's not empty praise. It takes one to know one.]
amongfriends: (well you're here too)

If you keep up with me, I'd love to hear them. Stories from Earth are always a treat. [Except for when ratings get involved. Too confusing.]

I have my moments, and I have some strong friends, too.
momsboy: (Er...no we won't be doing that)

thanks! ♥

[ Oh he will enjoy at least half of these things, so that counts for something right?

Now he's murmuring a soft 'shit' under his breath at that explanation. ]


I'm sorry, that's the worst thing that anyone can do to you. But yes, let's talk about him some other day. I don't want to ruin your day specially since you are...[ 'absurdly happy with all that blood over your face' ]...going to see Gaige soon.

( Oh. What lovely information to learn...?? )

What did that guy do to deserve that, exactly ?
hikikomori_king: (solemn)

Perhaps. But you are still so very young, Ivar! Even for humans, I think, although I confess I am not good at telling ages.

To me, you are barely a stripling! Although obviously Men age faster than elves.

How fast you grow. [ he murmurs ]

But as you say Ivar - you have much of your life yet ahead of you.

hikikomori_king: (solemn)

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-11-06 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh Ivar. [ Turgon says gently ]

You are still so young. Don't give up on living yet!

I will do my best to make it so, while you are here.

momsboy: (Oh hello pretty...)

[personal profile] momsboy 2019-11-06 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's...kind of adorable, actually. ]

Heh, then have fun you two. I'll see you around Tyr's house sooner or later.

Nobody has to be cruel, that's something you have to choose to do.

Kindness makes you friends that you can depend on. It makes you stronger, they make me stronger.

[ granted, up until recently reynir had been the one putting in basically all the work with said friendships, but it's getting better and he's still never really regretted it. ]
