[OOC] Pieces of 8: Bones of the North

[Clumsywordsmith]

Will probably not get a post up tonight because... Ooh! Shiny! Ahem. Too busy rampaging through dungeons with my brother, leaving a swathe of carnage in our wake, all while looting anything and everything that hasn't been bolted to the floor.

And I keep getting this irresistible RL urge whilst at work to, you know, grab stuff. Shove it in my pockets. Slip it in my tool belt. Stash it in my van... Guys are all like "You don't happen to know where such-and-such went Clumsy, do you?" And I'm all like: "Naaah, sorry... Oh wait! How did that end up there!? My bad!"

But I will definitely have one up by Thursday evening.

[Igraine]

Looking forward to it, Wordsmith! And... Oh Tirg... XD Words can't even really describe, exactly how much I've missed Max/Thadd. Brilliant, hon. Just... Yeah, brilliant!

eta: Damn Crabby, someone's got a bit of ancient Norse lore under their belt it seems? Niiiiiiiice...

The credit lies with the internet

:P Niffleheim is Hels domain though, not the Giants. Henry is gonna go all scholary now the little know it all x.x. I loved the moon story :D As someone who read Snorres poems about similair things.

[Igraine]

Well then you win all the internets Crabby - even Hellis has to admit that! Yours. All of them!

[Hellis]

Every single one of them? BUT :O HE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO HANDLE IT IGRAINE! IT'LL KILL HIM!

[Igraine]

*grabs Hellis' shoulders and shakes him back to calm!* HE CAN DO IT, MAN! Get a grip on your inner-Viking there, this is Crabby! Have faith! And a strong drink if need be!

[Crabmeat]

Internets... melting my brain! Go on without me!

I think this predates Hel's reign which is after the jötnar settled in Jotunheim. I don't know.

Thanks for opening it up with the mention of Niffelheim. Norse mythology is fascinating ^_^

[Hellis]

Norse Myth reads like fanfiction Crabby, its jumbled clusterfuck.

How Hellis view classical myths and pantheons
Greek Myth; Literal masterpieces with a bit to much ZEUS FUCKING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
Judeo-Christian: Children books with clear moral messages
Japanese: Horror Anthology
Norse: tumblr decided to write about gods. Seriusly, loki let himself get boned by a horse and was pretty enough that others gods didn't kill him for his dickery.

The Frost Giants of Norse Mythology did indeed live in Niflheim originally, from what I recall, before moving/being banished to Jotunheim. Being Loki's daughter, Hel came much later, and turned it into... well... Hell.

[Hellis]

The term "when hell freezes over" applies to Hels afterlife XD

For everyone in the Vaults, I was wondering if someone would care to step up first? (though Wordsmith of course just said he would post Thursday night-ish) I could post, certainly, but we have characters that are being carried, people who are injured (looking at you Andastra! ;) ), etc. and I don't want to make assumptions about what people are doing, how they are acting, getting about or moving is all? Please just let me know!

[Unlit]

I'll try to get something up tonight. Work + other things have kept me heavily engaged the last several days. Just have to get caught up on reading all the latest lovely posts first...

[Unlit]

Aw, Dot. Daisy's the cutest! Hah, and Nestor's demoness is such a skank. That was quite an enjoyable round of posts to read. That was a nice one, Team Atticus, bringing in the Viking lore and such.

[Igraine]

HA! Oh Unlit, that was wonderful! Thank you for getting the roll started there - and oh, was I hoping someone would do that with the keys. That it was Adam, is positively perfect!

[Lillian Thorne]

Just a heads up, I am gearing up for some mid-terms and don't plan on posting until Friday or so.

[AmongHeroes]

No worries, LT. Good luck with the tests!

[Igraine]

You're going to be brilliant Lil, as you always are. Best wishes and much good luck your way, hon - midterms don't stand a chance ;)

[AmongHeroes]

Please, someone geek out with me!
