[ Loudly, and at the top of her lungs: ]

I'M BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOORED

Someone give me something to do. I haven't shot, screwed, hammered, obliterated anything in weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks. I'm dyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. Everyone keeps talking about home, and if I was home right now, I'd be slaughtering bandits and rifling through their guts for guns. I'm so BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEEED. [ And there is a almighty thump of her head hitting her desk in her apparent defeat. ] No one lets me kill ANYTHING. How am I supposed to li-iii-iiiiiiive?!

[ WOE, WOE IS HER. ]

[Looks like someone is, again, all exuberance and energy today. Probably more like when isn't Sora, but still. He's beaming, already all dressed up in an outfit that might be somewhat familiar to some, that know of Santa at least. Only Sora's is a little more personalized and black instead of red with the white.]

Okay, so yeah like Alice said, it's....well I think around the right time of year. It's easier for me to lose track back home with all the travel I do but. I think it's about right. Anyway, Christmas! Santa! Presents! Decorations! We're totally gonna have it all here too, right? Everyone knows about Christmas in some form, right?

At least, the version I know is Santa, big guy, red and white suit, big long beard, gives out presents to everyone under their Christmas tree. Has elves help him make the presents and rides a sleigh with reindeer to go from house to house through the chimneys to deliver them on Christmas Eve? Right?

I've even met him! Christmas Town was amazing! (Yes, Riku, he is real!) [Cue pointed annoyed pout. He will never forget that, Riku, making him end up on the naughty list for saying Santa wasn't real!]

So I was thinking we could figure presents for each other? Either we can make or buy something, or I guess we could ask the gods for help too if they want to join in? And I can decorate!

[....by making more work in asking the gods for decorations....at least a tree would be simple enough for him to figure? Probably?]

What does everyone else think?

[ for those familiar with reynir by now, he's still got that generally friendly air about him with the video starts, though there's something around his eyes that gives him a slightly weary quality as well, if you're looking for it.

but then, everyone's been a bit stressed lately, which is rather the point of this post. ]


I guess there's a neat little, um, program I think it's called? On these bracelets that people have been using to share music and stuff from their home worlds, and I think that's really nice! Being able to learn about other worlds, other people's lives... it's really important some times to just take a moment and enjoy those things, don't you think?

I don't have any... copies or whatever of music from back home, but I wanted to share something anyway. To show my appreciation for all the new things people have told me about or shown me since I got here. So I thought I'd sing an old lullaby I grew up with!

[ reynir has a pretty average singing voice overall, though there's an androgynous quality to his tone as he sings a song first in icelandic and then in english: ]

Sleep my little love,
Outside the rain is weeping.
Mommy keeps watch over your gold,
Old leg bones and a little treasure chest.*
Let's not stay awake through dark nights.

There is much that darkness knows,
My mind is heavy.
Often I've seen the black sand
Scorching green meadows.
In the glacier rumbles deadly-deep cracks.

Sleep long, sleep tight,
It's best to wake up late.
Hardship will teach you soon,
While the day becomes night,
That the people love, lose, cry and mourn.

So many of you are so calm about the dead walking about and everywhere. Is it really so common in so many other worlds that it's no different than some cloudy weather for you all?

[Not even... a little bit scared, as far she can tell.] There's stories of the dead walking among the living, or even the undead, but they're stories.

Though... I suppose that must be why there are bells on so many tombstones back home. [She hadn't thought that's what they were for.]

Greetings, Wanderers to Asgard.

[ It's his first address to the network, and Odin looks… the same as ever, to those that are familiar with him. Neutral, deadpanned, here for business. ]

We've received news of trouble beyond Asgard's boundaries. Those of you from Westeros may be familiar with this threat. It seems an army of undead marches upon us.

[ His expression doesn't change, but there's a Pause, an unspoken 'isn't that just terrific.' But he digresses. ]

Asgard was built for the sole purpose of granting the human race a place to exist and thrive within Yggdrasil, away from any danger that may threaten their fragile presence. This is what we are here for, and we will serve our purpose. Asgard will ride out to meet this threat before it nears our kingdom, to save those that we can and put an end to what we can't.

Whether or not the Wanderers join us for this battle is your decision to make jointly. You've been here for some time now under the relative protection of secrecy, as your presence has gone largely unnoticed by the other beings of Yggdrasil.

[ Another pause, because it's important for them to understand this part. ]

Leaving the kingdom will break that secrecy. There are few in this realm whose attention you might want upon you. Remaining hidden may be prudent, especially with new arrivals among you. Make of this what you will, and decide amongst yourselves. You should be safe here within the city. Once we leave Asgard's bounds, nothing is guaranteed.

If you have questions, ask. Otherwise, we ride in a few days' time.

[ OOC NOTES: this is the NPC post to kick off our event for October! The White Walkers from Game of Thrones are terrorizing the countryside on a path of destruction aimed for Asgard. This post is to ICly discuss whether or not the Wanderers should help in this battle, but it is OOCly presumed that they will. Please feel free to threadjack amongst each other and discuss this between your characters! We will have a top level for threads with the NPCs, but let us know if you'd like to request a specific one in your thread. We currently have: Odin, Skadi, Heimdall, Sigyn, and Honir available for interactions.

We also still have some special volunteer positions open for people interested in tossing their characters at some specific brands of Awful, which you can find out about on the event post. Let us know if you have any questions, and enjoy! ]

[ It is midnight. Were you sleeping? Gaige isn't. Gaige has been busy, and in the middle of the night, so excited she might as well be glowing, she has a very exciting update to give.

GUESS WHAT I MADE?

[ Gaige's soot smeared face, what appears to be a wooden bat over one shoulder - and behind her, there is a torn-up bit of forest illuminated in the half-light. Like something had torn it up.

In her hand is something, if a little bit, uh, rustic. Homemade. Artisinal. Grenade. It looks like it was hammered out by hand with odd bumps.

But it's most definitely a grenade. A little circle with a painted smiley face on it.
]

A fucking grenade! Bonafide to hurt that damn dragon when it shows up again.

[ Is it time for a demonstration? It's time for a demonstration. She lifts the grenade against her mouth, hooking her canine teeth against the pin and yanks it with a jerk free. Throwing up into the air as she swings the wooden bat like this was a game, so hard that the grenade goes flying. Through the air where she's aimed it at a tree.

And when it lands, it explodes in a thundering force. Fire balling, branches ripped off with tremendous power, the tree splintered into pieces that in the night air is a brilliant red glow of light.

And Gaige shrieks in excitement.
] Suck it, tree! Eat your fucking heart out. I'm the master of fire and death and teeny, tiny, bits of metal! You will bow before me! [ Give her a second - nothing seems to get her quite as high as that thrill of violence and explosions. Or a God complex, apparently.

But she sobers a second later, well, sort of. The bat resting on her shoulder over again, out of breath but undeniably pleased.
] I'll make 'em for anyone who wants it. It's insurance just in case that dragon decides to get mouthy. Might need a bit more help collecting some ingredients.

Gaige, out!

[No awful text today. Everyone who decided to engage the troll was going to be spared that, mostly because she wanted clarity and thought this was important enough to really start getting into. The video kicked in, in the common room over at Mimirhaus on a quiet day, now a few days after the celebrations and the first attempts at a barbeque that this place had managed. She was in a black t-shirt with some pants and her blindfold was on, because fuck it. She didn't need it off to talk and she wasn't in the mood to compromise everything for style. Besides, if she was going to talk about justice? Might as well be blind.]

So, everyone get your fill of roasted oinkbeast and moobeast? We get the streets cleaned up of all that nice, sweet cherry smell? Right, lovely. You guys can settle up with Odin about that whenever you feel like. I said my peace.

[Ahem] Thing is, the other night? That totally proved what I've been saying to a few of you. These people? They're really green to the whole idea of 'rules.' And, as much as I love a nice bit of freedom and chaos now and again, there's gotta be some common sense about this. Funny thing about common sense? Totally not common. Totally not the same in different worlds.

I'm pretty sure of something, though. The folks in charge here? They're not setting those rules for the locals, and the locals aren't setting them for themselves. So, guess who's left? [She pointed at the screen and then at herself.] Yep, that's right. Either we come up with something and toss it at Odin and the others, see how they take it, or "Let's all slaughter an oinkbeast cause that sounds fun" over there's going to be the one setting it with whatever great idea flashed between their hear ducts today.

So, we can talk defense. We can talk religion [Her lip curled in distaste at that]. But before this happens again, we need to talk Laws. Preferably now, when it's just a couple moobeasts. I don't pretend Alternian Law's going to be the best way to handle things here. In fact? [snort] Pretty glob-damned sure it won't work here. But some ground rules need to get set, and soon.

figured out that if you don't want to sleep in the god place, you can make a new place anywhere in the city. doesn't make you go back at night. much better

more people are missing. arm guy if you read this, now you know

dragon hole's closed up too. don't think missing people are in there but also can't prove they aren't

gods say they went back home. didn't know that was possible. don't think they're lying. don't know if they really know one way or the other though

mustard still gross, continue to avoid








hundred days here today. tired of keeping track. someone else do it
ragnarsson: ([12.12] Sacrifice)

[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.]

[ Tap. Tap, tap. There's her face, squinting into the screen as she gets the thing working. Then pulls back a little bit further to get comfortable. Eyes green and bright, smile that bright side of manic. Beaming excitedly, though.

She's determined to carry on, in that way particularly determined 20 year olds who haven't worked out they're mortal always are.
] Is this thing working? Eesh, this is slower than my mom's old cleaning droid. Hellllllllo.

Well, whatever. Look - here's the thing. This place sucks, it's got no tech, no robots, no guns. Next you'll be telling me people don't know what cars are. Guess that means no Vault Hunters either. So here's the deal:

You hire me. I kill stuff for you. I don't charge extra for severed limb collection or trophy collection either. If you need a group of bandits or something, slaughtered, I even do group discounts. Easy, right?

I accept payments in: [ She counts them off on her fingers. Which she has to double up because her robotic arm only has three fingers and a thumb on that hand. ] Money, duh. Weapons. The promise that the person will die in a really cool way if I explode their head. Severed limbs. Dangerous and unknown elements or ores. Ammunition. Unused organs if you're really stuck. Doctors always want those. Robotic parts. Especially the robotic parts.

My reference is that guy Rhys. Tall dude. Nerdy. Weird tie. He comes from our planet, Pandora. He's seen my wanted posters, knows all the stories, he can vouch for my reputation. I get the job done, full satisfaction guarantee, if it breathes, I can kill it, maim it, or steal from it.

You betray me to a shitty job though, that's a free for all. I'll take the money out of your corpse. Cool? Cool.

Oh, and I'm Gaige. Sup! [ She finger guns the screen, and kills the feed. ]

[ There's no voice on this, just a picture of a rather odd looking device sitting on a ceramic plate in one of the bedrooms of Odinhaus. There's also a golden half mask and a craved piece of bone sitting on the table next to the device, but those weren't the focus.

Especially when it starts making a whirling sound and the little fuses on the top flash.

It carries on for a minute or two before ending with a hiss of steam. There's a moment of just the device sitting there, gently making small popping sounds and then the camera angles slightly so that a hand can reach over, turn the small little latch on the face, and flip open the cover, revealing steaming hot popped corn inside of it.

And with that, the video cuts off because Ye Zun is a brat and he isn't going to explain what's going on here unless asked. ]

[The video starts off as Ivar's right hand throws a knife off-screen while he records the video with his left. He seems to be at that usual level of irritation he always seems to function at. It stems from always being in pain, not that he ever shows it. Pain is weakness and Ivar the Boneless doesn't show weakness.] I'm fairly certain two of my roommates think I'm going to murder them in their sleep.

[There's a beat while he throws another knife and a muted Thwack! as it hits the wall off-screen just like the first one did. He idly adds on:] They're probably right, but why ruin such the great and terrible suspense of when it will actually happen?

[ There's some jostling and some blurry footage before a plump young blonde woman appears on screen, looking absolutely excited. ]

Oh! Okay, I think I've finally got the hang of this... Hello Asgard! I'm Tuuri and I just wanted to try this out - Isn't this really cool? I learned about cellphones with holographs when I was training to be a skald but being able to use something like that is pretty amazing, isn't it? Umm, thank you to the gods and whoever made this possible of course!

[ The camera changes view and anyone familiar with the stables will recognize it. ]

So I found out I can capture things too! This is the tenth time I've tried to make a... Um.. Holograph? But here's the stables - Did you know the horses here have eight legs? Isn't that crazy? But they're also really cute!

[ The view changes back to Tuuri who's beaming as bright as the sun. ]

Um.. I don't know what else to say, but nice to meet everyone! I hope I can put up another holograph soon!

[ There's more jostling and blurry footage as the video ends. ]

[It took her about an hour of frustrated attempts at coding and monkeying with her thing before she was growling and hissing like an angry, wet cat. Terezi was so annoyed. They'd taken her color away! Her glorious, beautiful teal color, and she wanted it back! And, unlike a sensible person who just called text support, she was going to vent like an angry child on the web for all to see.

Well, in a way she was an angry child, no matter how weird troll maturity was.]
