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.]

[ He exhales, cheeks puffing up with it and everything. ]

All right, we'll make sure to talk about how dangerous you are in private next time. What do you want? An apology?

[ If he'd been drinking something, he would've spat it out. ]

I'm sorry? This coming from you?

[ He won't actually deny that he can be pretty rude but, like. This coming from Ivar. ]

Sure, I'll apologize for talking shit about you, when you apologize for threatening my life at multiple occasions. I haven't actually done anything to you except show a little bit of attitude and the only people who kill others over that are complete nut jobs or people drunk on power. Who do you actually think you are? Give me a break. I don't owe you shit.

[ ... Uhoh.

Yeah, he'll just cut that feed really fast. ]


Oh, shit.

[ Shit shit shit shit shit. Okay. Okay okay okay. He's just going to ... get his sword, because that at least gives him a fighting chance, no matter how slim, and then he's going to find ... somewhere. Somewhere to hide for a while. Possibly forever. ]
