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!

Another person might be upset that there are so few of her own people here in this world by comparison, but Bryn regards the growing Asgardian and Viking population with curiosity and happiness for Thor. Perhaps in time he'll find all of his people settled safely here until they can find a fitting home.
Speaking of homes...]
I'm still not sure about the last couple of houses we looked at. The hallways felt really narrow in that third one, and you're basically twice my size. And the last one felt more like a maze than a home. [She makes a face, briefly.] Am I being too picky?
no subject
Most of Thor's people have made it tonight, which has made it all the more pleasant. He feels a heavy burden of responsibility on his shoulders still, but he finds it easier to carry when he's with Bryn.
Thor scrunches up his face in consideration at her question.]
No, you're right. One wrong move and I'd have a leg through the wall- And there's no rush, anyway, we don't need to settle for second best. [He winks at her, encouragingly, then ponders.] The first one was quaint, not much of a garden but maybe that's for the best with my skill set..
no subject
Your skill may improve, and a big yard would be good for Qiri as he gets bigger. I want space to be able to train him to come with me into the field...and a garden would be nice. Flowers, vegetables, whatever you want.
[She takes a deep breath, and then closes her eyes as she sighs. This is nice. Talking about house hunting with Thor, enjoying this very, very normal thing and planning the start of a life together this way.]
We'll need the space for that sort of thing anyway, and someone to build some good walls or fences to keep the pets out.
[Pets. Plural. She sneaks a look up at him, wondering if he caught that or not.]
no subject
[Thor gestures vaguely at the bonfire and dancing. He listens as Bryn continues, then raises a brow at the pluralization.]
Pets? Do you have a friend for Qiri in mind?
no subject
I do, actually. A gift for you, if you'd like it. You'll have to come pick it out yourself, however. I mean, there's one in particular I like but it's only fair to let you pick the one you like.
[She grins, then looks over to Thor once more.]
Should I surprise you or would you like to know what kind of pet I have in mind?
no subject
Tell me! No- surprise me- no! Tell me. [He shifts between the two answers before he figures out a compromise.]
Give me a hint?
no subject
Giving him a speculative look, she debates what she could tell him that might not give it away. He's an intelligent man. He may be tall and brawny, and an accomplished fighter which might make some expect him to be a bit meat-headed, but she knows there is far more to him than his physique. Which is why she has to be careful or he'll make the connection between her hint and previous conversations they've had about animals.]
Mm, it has four legs and a tail.
no subject
He is genuinely thinking about it now, they've discussed a number of options. A dog of his own, street cats that he keeps feeding, dragons..]
Does it have fur or scales?
