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!

Yeah? You think?
[ It's good that Osomatsu is making friends. Gintoki got this sense from him maybe he isn't somebody strong. That's sort of why he's keeping a quiet eye on him. ]

Don't let your guard down. Sometimes the people you trust the most will hurt you the most if you're not careful.

[hmmm... he hiccups and sways a bit]

Haaa? 'zat mean I gotta keep my eye on you? [he trusts Gintoki the most, apparently]

[ He knows Osomatsu is just picking on him, and Gintoki is too inebriated to monitor his speaking, but.. he still feels like it's his fault his sensei isn't in the world anymore. He still feels like it's his fault that Takasugi wants the world to burn. It couldn't be helped, but the burden still rests on his shoulders. The soul of Shouyou is gone and all fingers point to his blood stained hands.

Gintoki's body shakes as he hiccups again, jabbing Osomatsu with his shoulder. The alcohol makes a pleasant feeling flow over his body, numbing out any sad thoughts he has there for a second. ]


Ha - ha haaa.. yeah, especially me. Get used to it.

[he's just drunk enough to blurt out an embarrassing line]

At least yer good t'look at! [hahaha, drunk flirting? or maybe he is just messing around. hard to tell with Osomatsu]

[ And Gintoki is too drunk to even get mad at Osomatsu, so he just laughs and points to himself. ]

Y'gotta be good lookin' for a JUMP series. They can't have volume after volume of some uggo, nobody is gonna buy that! It's a sales tactic, okay?
relieable: (van sex tonight)

[Gintoki raises a very good point. Osomatsu laughs loudly as something comes to his mind]

Ain't it th'truth? You'll never see someone like me there, that's for sure! [ahh]

[ Oh. I mean, it's kind of true and Gintoki isn't one to sugar coat things. Osomatsu isn't muscular or anything, but--
He jabs Osomatsu in the shoulder, nearly punching him but not quite. If anything, it'll just jostle the little NEET. ]


You mean your hair? Yeah, your hair is pretty stupid but at least it's straight. [ He's really self-conscious about his wavy white hair. ]
V*geta has stupid hair but he's still popular. What about him? You've also got the old geezer fan base followin' you around since 1966!

[Osomatsu's eyes twinkle a bit at the praise]

Man, you sure know your stuff. [he rubs under his nose. how nice and relaxing it is to be so meta!] Are you, like, some secret otaku who has a vast knowledge of manga under your belt, or are you just a fan of Osomatsu?
