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!

I do not think your father wants you to be like him. It is a duty that nobody wants, that no one is ever ready for.
no subject
Why does he have to step down now?
no subject
I . . . assume he was simply being prepared. And it can still be your thing, done in your way of thinking.
no subject
He looks up at Loki with big eyes and blinks, processing those words. Is he getting teary? Maybe a little. Mushrooms hit him hard, he has no tolerance.] You think I can- can do that?
/2
no subject
Yes. I believe you can.
no subject
Thanks. You're, uh. You're good. Nice.
no subject
I am not, but it is kind of you to say so.
no subject
No, you are nice. You're nice to me.
no subject
Perhaps in this instance, at least.
no subject
You've never not been nice to me. Even when I was new.
no subject
You reminded me a little of myself when I was younger. Full of thought among Vikings is a difficult position to be in.

Sometimes, he wondered if they just knew. That no amount of glamour, of looking the part would hide what is innate, born in him. ]
No. They would not. They would not understand how hard it is to try and simply have it slip out of your grasp. To turn those feelings inward like a knife. It is always a personal failing of the heart, to be different.
no subject
No one ever listened. [He agrees, a little quieter. Still a little unsteady, he sort of reaches for the fabric of Loki's sleeve, and clings to it like a lifeline.] I- I nearly died once. Dad wouldn't listen back then.
no subject
Fathers are — [ He stops short because he doesn't really know what fathers are. One cast him out on a frozen rock, the other claimed that frozen rock was all Loki ever deserved. And they are both gone, by Loki's hand. After another long pause, Loki carefully touches Hiccup's hand, peeling the fingers away but keeping his grip. ]
Fathers are not us. They try to mold us into better people, but what they are doing is to mold us into better versions of them. It is impossible.
[ He's fumbling, though it does not show. ]
But I will listen. If . . . that eases you.
no subject
With Loki... it's like he really hears what Hiccup is trying to say. Despite the mushrooms jumbling his words.]
I can't be my dad. [It comes out mumbled, and he just kind of leans his forehead against Loki's shoulder. Maybe it's the shrooms or maybe he's just always a bit of a tactile person.]
no subject
Then you should not be. Two of the same person is too much for any world, any place.
There is only one of you. You have a right to exist the way you choose.
no subject
Isn't there another Loki here? A- he's different. [Frown frown.] I like you better.
no subject
There are a few exceptions. But even then, there is still only one of me.
[ And he is slowly learning to appreciate that, even perhaps treasure it. Terrible as he is, Loki wants to be himself. And stop being what others expect him to be. ]
no subject
Yeah, that's- yeah. You're right. [He's really lacking in eloquent things to say but he what he remembers of this conversation later, he'll appreciate.] I like you as you.
no subject
[ But Loki pats Hiccup's arm lightly. ]
And you have had many mushrooms this eve.
no subject
But then he whines.] Just one. It was strong.
no subject
We can. Certainly, conversation might be easier when you are more coherent.
