asgardgenesis | 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.]

Pfffffft, have you met Honir? I am pretty sure he's just confused. And I think if Odin gave a fuck about the rest of us, it was trying to work out how to give less of one than he already does.

I have. I spent several hours trying to get him to stop wearing his hanfu like he was a trained courtesan. I barely talk to any of the others.

He was being a what now?

[ She snickers. ]

Odin's alright, just kind of blunt, doesn't like messing around. Totally going to annoy the heck of Skadi if I have anything to say about it. I'll tell ya how that goes.

I doubt he realizes what that entales, so I'm just letting him do as he will.

Good luck with that. That one seems a bit less hinged than the rest.

Not sure I even know what that entails, to be honest. Sounds, uh, nice?

Eh, I can handle it. But if I die, remember me as I was.

Swooshing, I'm afraid. And sparkling.

Small, loud and ready to kick ass?

No wonder you had a hard time getting him out of it, I bet he loved that.

Damn straight, you got it in one.
