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!

Mistletoe?
[She asks with a slight tilt of her head.]
What is that? Something you throw at someone?
no subject
No, it's a plant. There's a story from my world that the best loved of all the gods, Balder, was protected from everything in the world harming him. All except mistletoe and so he was slain with a weapon made of the plant. [The second part, however, makes him feel horribly awkward, as he's not sure how Rey will take it. Though considering she has all the perceptiveness of the goat they're going to slaughter, perhaps she won't think anything of it.] Now there's a tradition of kissing under it to gain protection from something with such deadly powers.
no subject
So if..Balder had someone kiss him, he wouldn't have been killed by the mistletoe weapon?
[Yes, this is what she's choosing to focus on, not the...kiss part. Not that it was a big deal or anything, considering that it didn't look like Ivar wanted to be under the plant. Unless he didn't want anyone to kiss him. She wouldn't want some total stranger to kiss her either.]
no subject
[He's happy not to focus too much on possibly kissing beneath the mistletoe. Not that he wouldn't like to do it with Rey, but he also doesn't know how she would react in turn. After all, she can pack quite a whallop when she wants to.]
no subject
[And now she's staring at him with wide eyes, wanting to know more of this tale. If Ivar's world was truly facing the end of the world. Or if it was just a story to explain mistletoe.
Never mind the aspect of being kissed--they didn't have to. They can just ignore it and focus more on this awesome Viking legend.]
That's not happening in your world though. Your world is fine, but then what happened? To the warrior?
no subject
[Now he's really getting into the storytelling mood. Stories are one of the few things Vikings love that aren't violent.]
He went to Hel, land of the dead, a dull place where there is no sorrow but neither is there joy. Hel, the goddess of death, said she would release him if everything on Midgard wept for him. Everything did except for one giantess who was said to be Loki in disguise, the one who had caused him to die in the first place. So there Balder remains until this world
no subject
[But..nothing lasts for ever. That much she knew was true. The war between the Resistance and the First Order would come to an end. From that..hopefully peace would come.]
That's....sad. So nothing can be done to save him.
[She think it over, and it makes sense. To protect one's self against a fate like because of mistletoe..it was best to kiss under it. But..there isn't any above them, so they should be fine.]
