Time Honored Tradition - Rate The Babe @ 07:52 pm

[info]brit_sorcerer:

The annual tradition of Rate the Babe was usually held at the Avengers mansion, but this year it would be held at Excalibur's headquarters in London. Quinn was more than happy to play host and set up refreshments. There was of course plenty of beer and it was accompanied by pub food.

Quinn was already on his fourth beer when the guys started arriving.

All Hallow's Eve @ 11:14 am

[info]nextgen_holiday:

All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween as it has been come to be called, is a popular holiday with children and adults alike. It is a holiday that had its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain or Summer's End. Samhain celebrated the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half".

On this evening the barriers between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be thin and the spirits, good and bad, of the dead could pass through. The spirits of the family's ancestors were welcomed in while evil and bad spirits were warded off by the wearing of masks and costumes. The costumes and masks disguised one as a harmful spirit and avoided harm from others.

It was also a harvest celebration and time to take stock of food stores for the winter. Livestock were slaughtered and the meat prepared for storage. It was the final harvest of the year and the crops were then stored for the winter. Celebrations included bonfires and tales of the family's ancestors.

It was a celebration of the dead and of the harvest.

Today we dress up in scary and not so scary costumes and masks and go door to door for candy or attend costume parties. It is a night for revelry, pranks and fun.

Dates in the training room @ 09:24 pm

They usually did dates out, and while he knew she enjoyed them, Brandr also knew that sometimes Svalin liked a good spar. Add in that this training room was fascinating with all the possibilities it could create and well, there was no reason not to use it for a sparring date of sorts. Though he'd had to get help when putting together this scenario.
 
He'd asked her if she was available that evening, and suggested they meet at the training room. So upon seeing her, he smiled brightly and bowed. He was wearing his leather gear, but only that layer and none of the extra ones on top, and it was worn in a casual manner, with the top not completely done up. "I art glad ye couldst come milady." Though he used 'milady' and was bowing, his whole tone was quite informal and charming and very distinctly not his 'on duty' way of speaking.

Svalin knew she'd have a hard time dealing with the events of the solstice and had avoided sleeping for a few days afterward. Even she needed to sleep at some point and she had finally drifted off. The nightmares started almost instantly. She didn't dream of dying. That never scared her. She dreamed of what happened after Nidhogg killed her.

The world burned and her son was responsible. He ruled Migard and Asgard with such brutality and such destruction. Solver stood over her while she knelt on the ground in surrender. His dual maces came up to strike her and Svalin screamed.

One of a Kind @ 09:02 pm

[info]nextgen_cosmic2:

The Collector was always searching for unique and unusual items to add to his personal collection. He had numerous worlds filled with items he had collected over the eons. His attention had wandered away from Earth for awhile, but that changed. Now something unique caught his eye and he was determined to add it to his collection.

He landed on the front porch of the Defenders' compound. He blasted the door into oblivion and walked into the building.

Mandatory Fun @ 07:04 pm

Svalin was a woman of her world. She would do anything to keep her word once she gave it and she had given it to her brother when they made their wager. Now she had to do what she agreed upon. Tonight was a night out with Brandr.

Svalin pulled her hair back into a thick braid and dressed in a pair of pants with loose blouse. Her sword was at her side and she wore her favorite pair of boots. She played with Solver while she waited for Brandr.

Moving Meditation (Hal) @ 08:27 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

When Svalin needed to think she headed to the training room. Smashing and killing things, in a sense, helped her clear her mind. When she was fighting things she blocked everything else out and focused on the task in front of her.

Translation needed. (For Hal) @ 06:32 pm

[info]butterflybullet:

Still reflecting -- and fuming, yes, some fuming -- on what she had overheard, Vernique this time just doesn't bother trying to confront her wife to start with. She stalked outside to where her favorite brother-in-law was.

"Hal, I need help."

Try your luck again @ 08:56 pm

So the first date hadn't quite gone as planned, just general bad luck. But Brandr wasn't one to let that get him down, he wouldn't be able to hold the name Fandralsson if it did. Unfortunately, ever since that first date, Lady Svalin seemed to be avoiding him. Unsure of exactly what to make of it, he decided to try his luck and ask her if out again. So he had timed it so he'd find her outside the one place she could never avoid. The training room.

Date Night @ 10:24 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

There were a lot of things on Migard one could indulge in, but Svalin only had two. The first was chocolate. She couldn't get enough of it and loved it in any form. The other was a shower. Svalin loved showers. She took one every day, not because training and working with the horses worked up a sweat and usually left her quite fragrant, but because she loved the feel of hot water falling down on her.

Svalin stepped out of the shower and quickly toweled herself off. She wrapped the large turkish bath towel around herself and stepped out into her bedroom. Now to find something to wear. What did one wear on a date?

I Followed My Small Destiny With Valor @ 10:50 am

[info]shield_maiden:

Svalin didn't sleep during the night as she never could sleep on the eve of battle. Instead she waited with armor and Vigfrior ready. This would be the toughest battle of her life so far and though she knew she'd lose, she wouldn't go down without putting up a fight. She didn't know when she would be whisked away, but she would be prepared for when it did happen.

One moment she was in the small bungalow she shared with her wife, son and Brandr and the next was at the base of Yggdrasil.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas (open for meme posts) @ 10:34 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

Lady Sydney had declared that it was time to decorate the main building and the grounds for Christmas once the Migard calendar said it was December. Svalin didn't know much about decorating, but she could carry the boxes of decorations and reach the high places for Sydney. She was always eager to lend a hand and enjoy watching Zoey and Solver's faces light up at the sight of twinkling lights and shiny decorations.

She was carrying the last box of decorations down from the attic.

You were acting like it was the end of the world @ 10:40 pm

[info]nextgen_asgard:

Eir Einmyriasdottir waited until the middle of the night and almost everyone was asleep or elsewhere. She crawled out of bed and quickly dressed. In multiple layers. The winds were bitter cold and the snow was piling up. It was a winter like she had never seen in her life. The last item she put on after her fur lined boots was a fur lined cloak.

She walked over to the door and opened it a crack. The hallway was silent and she didn't hear or see anyone. She opened the door wider and darted across the hall to her sister's room. The door opened silently and she slipped into the room making sure to close the door behind her.

"Astrid," she said as she gently shook her sister awake.

About a Boy @ 07:55 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

The recent trip to New York had been fun, but it meant time away from chores and practice. She missed her nightly sparring session with Brandr. Not only because he helped her improve her skills, but because she missed him too. The man had caused her a lot of confusion lately and had spent a lot of time in her head.

She was lost in thought as she groomed Tryggvi.

A Day of Thanks @ 11:39 am

[info]nextgen_holiday:

"Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart." - Seneca

In America today is a day for being thankful for the things in people's lives. Today was a day to celebrate family, friends, prosperity and health with food, family and friends. It is a time to reflect on what is important us and to recognize the gratitude we hold for having those things in our lives.

Dinner with a friend @ 08:33 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

Svalin shouldn't have been surprised when Mr. Denning and Rory showed up out of the blue because Mr. Denning loved to see his grandson and Rory was usually with him. Svalin offered to watch Solver if Mr. Denning wanted to go out and spend some time with V, but he said he wanted to stay here and spend time with V and Solver. Rory asked Svalin if she wanted to go out to dinner and she accepted.

Now it was time to leave. She was dressed in a blouse, jeans and a pair of boots her wife insisted would make the outfit.

"Ist there anything thou wouldst like me to bring back?" she asked her wife and Brandr who were sitting in the small living room of the bungalow Svalin and V shared.

Nightly Routine (open) @ 09:10 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

Things had settled down since their return to Migard and Svalin was more at ease with Brandr around. Between the two of them Vernique and Solver were protected and things between Svalin and her wife were better. The tension was gone and the both of them were better for it.

Svalin had settled into a nightly routine after her wife and son were sleeping. With Brandr there, Svalin could spend most of the night in the training room. Each night she tried a new scenario and it always involved a dragon. The upcoming solstice weighed on her mind and even though she knew she would die, she would fight her hardest before she died. She was slowly going through any dragon she could find, real or in myth and legend.

When she was finished in the training room she would head down to the beach and go for a swim. The water invigorated her and was soothing on her tired and sore muscles.

Tonight was no different from the others. She had just finished battling Smaug from the Hobbit book and had taken a beating. She was tired, sweaty and sore. A swim in the ocean would be wonderful. Tomorrow night she planned on battling a balrog.

She stripped off her clothes and dived into the water.

Shopping @ 09:25 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

It was a perfect autumn day in Los Angeles and perfect for shopping, at least according to her wife. Vernique didn't miss the fact that Brandr had all Asgardian clothes, what little of those he had, and no Migard clothes. There was a statement that bodyguarding couldn't be done if one stood out. So shopping it was.

Svalin was on Solver duty for shopping. She knew next to nothing about Migard fashion or clothes in general and someone had to keep Solver from flying around the stores. Vernique was the expert shopper in the family and Svalin was more than happy to let her take point and say where they went and what they bought.

With toddler in arms and distracted by animal crackers, Svalin followed her wife and Brandr.

Practice (Open) @ 09:38 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

There was no such thing as too much practice in Svalin's mind which is exactly why she made it a point to practice as much as she could. Today she was working a difficult session in the practice room. The room was filled with trolls. They swarmed Svalin and it was all she could do to keep them back.

She yelled and took the head off of one, not pausing before moving on to the next.

Welcome to the Defenders, Brandr. Hope You Survive the Experience (open) @ 06:19 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

They returned to Migard and Svalin and Vernique got Brandr settled into a room. When he had his things all put away, they started the grand tour of the grounds. First stop was the main house. Hopefully some of the Defenders were around to meet him.

Asgard (Open) @ 09:05 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

It was nearing Solver's first birthday, not that Asgardians really celebrated such, but it had been some time since the mothers, especially MomTwo had some time with her grandson. Einmyria made it a point to send Skari with a message stating such. It was time for a visit while things wert quiet.

No sooner than they had stepped foot into the Great Hall, then Einmyria scooped Solver up to take him to go dote upon him. Eir and Astrid were tagging along after her to play with their nephew. Svalin went to go to talk to her father first. Then find some sparring partners. She brought her bat'leth to use against Asgard's warriors to test her abilities with it.

There was also the quest to find the Crimson Hawk the Norns spoke about.

First thing's first. She went to see her father.
