EVENT LOG: HÆIÐRS-MINNI

Who: EVERYONE
What: the Hæiðrs-Minni event log
When: November 16
Where: EVERYWHERE
Rating: PG-13; please take anything higher than this to a private log!

morning: the funeral


The morning sun is lost behind clouds that pour in an endless rain, casting the city into a dark and gloomy shadow. The streets of Asgard are almost entirely empty, although hardly a soul can be found indoors either. Everyone is gathered instead at the riverbank on the castle grounds, where a series of boats are tethered along the short and gently tugging with the current. The native Asgardians place gifts, food, and personal belongings into the boats in memory of their lost loved ones.

Whether you've lost someone, were lost yourself, or carry some other loss within you, the natives invite you to place your own offerings in the boats to send off your sorrows together.

Several hours into the morning, once everyone has had their chance to fill the boats, Heimdall gives a short speech honoring those that fell in the recent battle as the boats are let loose down the river. Honir fires an arrow towards the last one to float away, and Odin lights it on fire as it soars overhead, the single arrow splitting into a wave of shooting stars that strike each boat dead center. The boats alight all at once, and even with the rain pouring overhead, they continue to burn as they float gently out of sight, carrying everyone's grief away with them.

all day: the dedication


Throughout the rest of the day, many of Asgard's residents seem to buzz around Firar Samka, the cultural museum in Mimir's district. A new wing has been added to document Asgard's recent triumphs, but most especially to honor the unexpected stalwart allies of the kingdom: you, the Wanderers from other worlds. This display was added to memorialize the lengths you've gone to in the name of protecting and preserving life within the realm, the core purpose of Asgard in its entirety. You are heroes among gods and this exhibit seeks to portray that for all to see.

As you wander through the display, you might see childish drawings of familiar people fighting a massive dragon, or a large painted mural of solemn faces standing off against an army of ghoulish figures. Skadi can be found beside these, sometimes twisting them into eerie motion or placing a new piece somewhere along the halls.

Elsewhere, you can find Njord alone or accompanied by some human skalds as they sing or read poetry or even sometimes reenact part of the battles against the Red Death and the Army of the Dead. Your characters can watch or join, and they might even hear their own names mentioned among the reverence and song. This is the story of Asgard and the Wanderers conquering death, and you're right at the center of it.

evening: the feast


To end the day on a high note, everyone is invited to Nādhirhöll in Tyr's district, where the entire banquet hall has been decked out in so many colors and leaves and lights that it might feel like walking into an overgrown forest tightly held in the grips of a sparkling autumn. With the growing success of the distilleries in Njord's district, vodka and ales are passed around freely alongside the mountains of food available on tables in every room. People dance and sing and lounge around the leaves with laughter and a joyful appreciation of life in the air.

If your character joins the party, they might notice themselves feeling more warm and relaxed over the course of the evening. They might have the unusual inclination to be more physically affectionate with people and vocally declare their appreciation to them. Deep in this glittering "forest," it is easy to feel lost in the warmth and comfort of good company and relative safety.

This party continues into the morning of the next day, something that many may not realize as deeply wrapped in an artificial forest as they may be. The effects of the curse fade as everyone stumbles their way out of Nādhirhöll, leaving a heavy blanket of strangely warm exhaustion behind. It's been a long and potentially emotional day, but the city seems to be brought together under a shared relief and a new tomorrow.


[ OOC NOTES: This is the event log for Hæiðrs-Minni! There are various goings-on throughout the day to acknowledge past strife and be grateful for a projected future. If you have any questions or need any help, please let us know on the mod contact page! ]

Morning

What did she have with her when she got down and put in a 'gift' as well? It looked like a multicolored scarf, one that she'd dyed one color after another, almost like a rainbow. Kind of, on the surface of things, a strange gift to give, but the truth was that it was very fitting.

Everyone she'd lost in her own life? They had a different color to their blood, all the colors in the rainbow. The girl had definitely lost her fair share, even if she'd reach a state of peace. It was a rare, slightly sober moment and for once she only had her blindfold around her shoulders, not her eyes. Glancing over to Turgon, she nodded quietly.

Grief recognises Grief, and they have shared little bits of their stories, Terezi and he.

He nods back at her quietly, and as the last glow flickers and fades he turns deliberately away from the water and offers his arm to her.

"Shall we go inside? Or are you needing to be alone?" His own voice is quieter than it might be, but it does not disguise the roughness of one who has been weeping.

"Eh, wouldn't say no to the company at the moment. Good to know you're holding up alright. You help manage things back here during the fighting?" She took his arm and walked along quietly. The physical contact was a little odd, but she got the feeling it was more normal for him than her.

For the moment, she was taking her time with her thoughts. The whole situation was ... a little odd and somber, really.

"Yes." he nods, walking with no real destination except 'away'.

"Did you go out? The wall is repaired, although I will need to go back over it, now we have time, to ensure my rushed repairs will hold."

'Away' was good. Nothing wrong with Away. In fact, away was pretty much the direction she'd have suggested, so she was absolutely on board with following him.

"Mmmm? Yeah... they needed my nose. Can use it to help track... help 'em find the target," she murmured softly. "They did the heavy fighting, but I could get them there..."

"I see. You were not injured?"

[personal profile] mindseer 2019-12-03 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's a war, so definitely injured. Had my arm busted up by one of the others when they went rogue. It's not too bad. I'm not upset by it, but you definitely don't get into a fight without expecting to get scraped up some." That was just the nature of being in a strife.

He grimaces. "At least it was only minor." He agrees. "Are you healing well now?"
mindseer: (Default)

[personal profile] mindseer 2019-12-06 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nammers patched me up good, and the rest is healing alright. It'll take a little be a hundred percent, but I should be doing well enough soon." Her head bobbed. "And personally wouldn't have felt right to go through a fight like that without getting at least a little banged up."
hikikomori_king: (smile)

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-12-07 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"That is good to hear."

He snorts, amused. "I would be just as pleased - if somewhat surprised - to escape unscathed from such a fight."

"Hehehe, I suppose there's something to be said for getting off scott free. Nothing wrong with that really. In fact, that's better in some ways, but I get to have the sling and get sympathy, so this works for me." She grinned away. Hey, she could milk this shit all she wanted.
hikikomori_king: (laugh)

[personal profile] hikikomori_king 2019-12-09 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
He chuckles.

"That is certainly one way of looking at it! And do you get people offering to carry things for you as well?"

"I should absolutely start lugging heavy loads around just to see if they'll do that! That's a brilliant idea!" she hadn't even thought of it yet, but she liked it! That sounded hilarious.
hikikomori_king: (laugh)

Turgon cannot help the smile, and doesn't particularly want to - Terezi is good at making him laugh.

"So it would. Of course, I would be one of those obliged to help!" Even knowing he was being scammed.
