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!

[It's heady and thick, almost like blood in her mouth but sweet, instead of the sharp copper tang. She remembers it, not quite as strong as the feelings after a disablot, but close. So close.]
They are fools, not to see it. Their worlds are too small.
[She knows how long people have refused to believe in anything more powerful than them, because (in her opinion) they're scared of acknowledging that there's something bigger than their pathetic lives.]
no subject
[He waves his hands around again like the worlds are something tangible. It all seems so very mystifying right now, something that can expand the mind if thought about too much.]

[Kara is well versed in how humans think, they find it easier to accept things they can explain away.]
This - [with a gesture to the air] - it's something else. Power. Magic. Too much for them.
no subject
[He puffs himself up with pride. This was something special tonight and anyone who couldn't see that was the real ignorant one.]
Seems like I know more than they do.
no subject
You're more open minded. [She's just at ease enough to reach out and tap his temple lightly.] Smarter than them.
no subject
Of course I am.
[Ivar's self-confidence is mostly bluster, for inside he's about as steady as a house of cards. But when it comes to intelligence, he knows just how smart he is. He wouldn't go on to win almost every battle he ever got into being an idiot.]
