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.]

[Now that he's had enough talks with people, he figures such a way should be enough to soothe the alarmed populace.]
Contrary to what some people think of me around here, I'm not some unhinged hothead barbarian. I have a brain and it works too.
[Even if he did make a lot of impulsive decisions, there was always a method to Ivar's madness. Very rarely, such as when he killed his brother, did he do something completely without considering the consequences. Sometimes he even played up the crazy a little to get people off their guard.]
If you are the sort to figure people out, then you know why it's a good idea to have someone around who can do the messy and dirty work. One keeps their hands clean and the other to do what needs to be done.
no subject
but we can come to terms on this. i'd prefer to not continue talking about the specifics over this network, but you've a deal of a sorts.
[Honestly, she doesn't know the nature of this place, but it's best to be able to have this set now. When the time comes, and it's never an if, but a when, she'd rather be fully prepared.]
no subject
[Finally, Ivar has found someone worthy of his attention. He likes this mystery person.]
