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!

[The blood on Ivar's face is a little startling, but Marco gets over that pretty quick. Truth is, he's seen enough blood and guts and horrific things that it barely phases him anymore, and most of Ivar's more questionable aggressive tendencies seem almost normal to him.

So when Ivar looks at him with blood all over his face and his pupils blown out, grins at him slow and happy, Marco just grins back.]


Why hello there to you too, handsome.

[A little laugh, and then Ivar is wrapping his hand around his wrist, pulling him closer.]

Oh wow, definitely hi there. Good night?

[He doesn't withdraw, though, just moves in closer, licking his lips before sliding one leg over Ivar's lap to straddle his legs, just above the knee, dark eyes on Ivar's face. For now, he doesn't put any weight on him, doesn't sit down really, not until he's invited.]

[There's definitely something different about how Ivar is behaving, his pupils blown out and his eyes bright and his hands lifting to touch Marco's face with a kind of reverence. Marco's heart is pounding a little bit as he smiles back at Ivar, head tilted. So when Ivar asks him to sit and then leans in to kiss him, Marco does. He settles his weight on Ivar's lap and closes his eyes, parts his lips to kiss back.

This is nice. Calm. Comfortable. It feels natural, in a way Marco wasn't ever really expecting to feel. As Ivar kisses at his ear, Marco hums in his throat.]


I haven't tried the mushrooms, so I'll have to take your word for it. Pretty sure I trust you though, considering how you're acting right now. And yes, yes I did see the animal sacrifice. Pretty intense stuff.

[Leaning in, he tilts his head and kisses against the side of Ivar's neck, his free hand settling on the Viking's shoulder to squeeze over the muscle there.]

[It's a little intoxicating, the way Ivar's hand feels as it wraps around his back - Marco is small, he always has been, and Ivar is...not. His hand fits easily across the span of the curve just above his ass, his fingertips almost against one of Marco's sides while the heel of it sits on the other side. Marco feels a little drunk, suddenly, more than he should from the alcohol he's drunk.

Tilting his head, he brushes his lips against the line of Ivar's jaw, his hair slides against Ivar's stubbly cheek, his eyes half-closed as he enjoys the contact, the way his kisses send little shivers through Ivar. He's chasing it like some kind of adrenaline high, his teeth closing gently against Ivar's earlobe, biting lightly to elicit more reactions.]


Yeah well neither do Animorphs. [It's soft, whispered against the slightly damp skin he was just biting.] So I'm glad you got to celebrate.
