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!

I would return the Iron Islands to her family, rather than claim it for myself and conduct trade with her.
( It's not terrible; she knows enough to be aware that they'd need some fashion to obtain goods and foodstuffs. The alliance was one of the few things she's done of which her hand has approved. It had felt nice, to be on the same page. As she and Ragnar are not. )
They are still people; not property. ( After spending all of her adult life freeing them, her point of view is decidedly contrary to his, and it shows.
She raises an eyebrow, tone still sharp as she responds: )
Aren't we? Not all chains are seen when they are borne.

We have trees and farmland, but nothing like what I've seen in the lands to the West.
[He shrugs again at the slavery issue.] They are conquered people. [Does that make them somehow less than free men and women? In his opinion, yes, most of the time. However, they could become their equals. It was a mix of fate and ambition though.]
I don't think we are. Could you not choose to do nothing tomorrow? Could you not choose to leave the fenced area? [He saw them more like a shipwrecked crew, stranded and unable to get home without some creativity and ingenuity on their part.]
no subject
What he says next causes her to stand, her dragon to rear up on his hind legs and let out a small, but nevertheless angry sound. Her face bears no expression at all, but for the cold steel in her eyes. )
I wonder if you'd say the same were you the one in a slave's collar. Enjoy what you perceive to be 'freedom.'
( And while they can choose, she sees their options as limited. Even then, the people here are conditioned to think small. Dany finds no interest in speaking to him any further, finding it dampening her mood when she'd prefer to try and enjoy the festivities. Grasping her horn, she rises from where she's been seated and makes to leave before she says or does something to ruin the party for its host. )
