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!

Were they beautiful?
[She always thought they were, even if her own feelings about her sisters are complicated.]
no subject
Yes? [A hint of a smile tugged briefly at the corner of his mouth sheepishly.] There was a lot of blood in my eyes.
[Strange. He could picture Odin and the crows, but he couldn't remember any details when it came to the Valkyries.]
no subject
[The only man who comes out of a battle clean is a coward.]
It has been too long since I chose any einherjar.
[Very few people still truly believe.]
no subject
He offered her something of a nervous, obligatory smile. One step above awkward silence, right?]
no subject
Battle does not seem to touch this place, not for many long years.
[He will return home safely, where he can have the death and afterlife he deserves.]
no subject
[When he'd arrived, he'd been offered a position with the perimeter guard and he hadn't hesitated to accept. The rumors of monsters came from his fellow fighters, surely they weren't lies.]
I do not plan to die here, though. Fight. And win. But not die.
no subject
[Deaths in battle are easy to feel, for her, but while a fight against a monster is still a fight, it falls a little out of her purview. Still, at the end of the day, death is what she knows.]
Are they teaching you to use their weapons?
[That's just curiosity. It must be a tricky job, teaching people from all sorts of times how to wield new technology; at least Kara had time to get used to it slowly.]
no subject
[Although his daughter, Gyda, had told him about advanced medicine they had here, perhaps that was why there were so few deaths.]
No? [He'd been to the perimeter guard headquarters, but those he'd met had been using blades, so nothing new. Not yet.] What kind of weapons do they have here?
sorry about the delay
[She didn't think it necessary to bring her gun with her to this kind of thing, so she can't demonstrate.]
They would show you, if asked. Or I could.
[Kara favors her sword, but she's very good with guns too.]
no subject
But... I do not use a bow, except for to hunt.
I would like to see them still. It is what you use?
no subject
I carry my sword still, but guns have many uses, and are more common if I need to avoid attention. It is quicker to shoot down forty creatures than it is to cut them down.
[Sometimes she gets into situations where that sort of thing happens.]
no subject
Were you assigned a job here? [If she was part of the perimeter guard as well, it gave them the perfect opportunity for her to do a little demonstration.]
no subject
[Kara mostly uses her sword for fights with people shaped things, but assorted critters are easier to gun down, whether they're big or little.]
Security, not the guard, but I can find time.
no subject
[It seemed a little pointless to get excited about a new weapon only to find out that they were impossible to come by. Before he traded out his bow, he'd also need to practice, he assumed.]
