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! ]

Lan Zhan stops suddenly at the gruff voice, turning to find Master Asterios with....ah.

"That is the alcohol I spoke of," he answers, hoping very much his tolerance is better than that of Lan Wangji's. He'd made short work of the rice paddy and Lan Wangji is unsure how best to contain him if the alcohol has an adverse effect.

"It can muddle the mind. Be cautious of it."

"Alcohol." Asterios repeats, tilting his head at his cup. This is what people enjoyed? He didn't see the appeal, but waste not want not.

"Muddle... the mind?"

"Not only muddle but in some, lowers inhibitions," he warns, unsure of what type of drunk he might be and only remembering pieces of his own experiences. Apparently Lan Wangji is a weepy, affectionate drunk. All the more reason to avoid it.

"Some people grow happy and some angry. Some sad and some quiet. Caution if you do not know the affect on yourself, Master Asterios."

Asterios isn't entirely sure he gets it, but he does wonder something...

"Why drink... if it, is so dangerous?"
lan_wangji: (enduring)

[personal profile] lan_wangji 2019-11-25 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Think some people enjoy the sensation of losing control," he theorizes, although that is not the case with Lan Wangji. The few times he's chosen it has been out of a desperation to stop a train of thought or to increase emotional bravery.

"I do not partake often. Nearly not at all. But I have found when I cannot express myself, it forces me to tell truth. Helpful. But only if I have a little bit."

Yeesh, this stuff just keeps sounding worse and worse! He actually looks a little resigned as he takes another sip. Kind of makes him wish it was poison.

"Some things... are hard. To understand."
lan_wangji: (discovering)

[personal profile] lan_wangji 2019-11-26 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Lan Zhan nearly, so very nearly throws a hand up to try and stop him. It seems like a deeply bad idea. Lan Zhan speaks from experience and he is not half as physically strong as Asterios.
But it would be abominably rude in too many different ways.

"Lan Wangji prided himself on his knowledge and his learning," he admits, folding his arms behind him as he confesses. "Upon coming to this place, realized I knew very little. Many things are quite hard to understand. Will Master Asterios sit with me?" he asks, gesturing at a large bench. As intimidating as the man is, Lan Wangji finds his presence peaceful in a way.
beefaroni: (Default)

[personal profile] beefaroni 2019-11-26 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? An invitation to sit? That was new. Asterios was hesitant... but maybe it'd make drinking this nonsense easier.

"All right."

The bench would creak a little under his weight, but otherwise held steady.
