The Yule Log
who: The Norse and everyone else in the city!
what: The Norse celebrate Yule. Gods help everyone.
when: December 22nd, Winter Solstice
where: Somewhere outside
warnings: Alcohol, drugs, animal sacrifice, blood play, rough foreplay, sex. Will update if necessary.
The Yule celebration has gotten underway on the Winter Solstice and it promises to be a most interesting night. The Norse have gone all out with this affair to make sure it's going to be a success. First thing to be spotted is a bonfire, so big that you might want to be careful not to trip around it, because you'll fall right in. There's plenty of room for dancing too, if you feel like grooving to a beat that's a little more unusual than most.
The Yule celebration shares a lot of similarities with Christmas, so it's a good time for gift giving. There's little shoes on a table, mimicking the tradition where Odin would leave presents for good children by putting them in their shoes. Claim one as your own and maybe a friend will leave a gift inside one for you. Watch it though. Any grinches will be fed to the Yule Cat.
There's a table set up to the right of the bonfire with food, mostly of the hearty kind that the Norse seem to prefer, and of course, lots of alcohol. Please remember not to get into any drinking contests with the gods. They will observe no responsibility for what happens afterward.
There are also mushrooms for consumption, provided by everyone's favorite psychotic Viking, Ivar The Boneless. These ones are directly from his home world, which means they come with a variety of side effects. They have the ability to make a person hallucinate quite a bit. But they can also make people much more horny than usual. Lastly, there's the effect that hits some people in making them extremely violent. Sometimes one effect hits, sometimes more than one. In any case, anyone who consumes some is assured to have an...interesting time.
On a lighter note, there's mistletoe scattered around, hung from the trees and tent beams. Fun fact: the Vikings were the first one to use it for the tradition of kissing. Of course, they also believed it was a plant that was powerful enough to kill a god, so the kissing was ostensibly for protection.
At the height of the night, there will be an animal sacrifice done. A goat is slaughtered and the blood from it is gathered into a couple of bowls. If you'd really like to go all out like a Viking, paint your face in the still-warm blood, or drink a little bit of it. Otherwise, enjoy freshly seared chunks of goat as it bastes over the bonfire.
Have fun, drink, fight, and remember to make your ancestors proud!

"So you're the cousin of a dragon? Not so terrible a thing, you know; they're loyal and protective."
Now that she's better aware as to why she'd jumped to that conclusion, Dany tilts her head, a small smile on her face.
"Sometimes, members of my family were born immune to fire, like me. It's never harmed me."
*flails* sorry, completely missed this tag
"What's your name?" She was half tempted to call her 'Dragonsdottir', but she didn't wish to assume; yet, a talent of that sort wasn't to be overlooked or ignored. If she didn't have some name related to being immune to fire, Gyda felt she should give her one.

"Daenerys Stormborn, of House Targaryen. And you?" Viserion trills at her side, leaning forward to sniff the girl's cheek, exhaling hot breath to fan her hair a little. His bronze eyes hold Gyda's for what may feel like a long while, and then he curves back, pillowing himself in the crook of Dany's arm once again.
"It seems he approves well-enough."
no subject
"Gyda Ragnarsdottir, of Kattegat. My father is earl of the village." She wondered if Daenerys knew of either her father or brother.
Her attention is turned to the dragon. "I mean so harm, so I'll take that as reassurance."
The dragon's breath was hot, but not venomous as the legends said. Carefully, she reached forward, holding her hand just a few inches away, but no further.
