By the Power of Grayskull! @ 11:23 pm

[info]nextgen_media:

It was a normal day in Los Angeles and at the Defenders' Compound. Or so it seemed. It only took a few minutes, but the compound was transformed into a castle with part of it looking like a skull. Castle Grayskull now stood where the main building of the Defenders' compound once stood. Around the castle a thick woods sprang up and surrounded the castle.

One one side of LA Skeletor and his crew started heading for Castle Grayskull. He wanted to get inside and learn all of its secrets.

On the other side of LA Hordak and his crew started headed for the Whispering Woods. He wanted to capture She-Ra and her rebels.

Tales in babysitting.. @ 03:07 pm

[info]skald_iona:

It had been a perfect storm, where everyone seemed to have something to do upon the same hour, upon the same day. Everyone, it seemed, except the Asgardian story teller, who assured the royal family that she was honored and pleased to watch the baby. She and Solver had gone for a walk on the grounds, taken in an absurdly entertaining episode that had pony's with an impressive amount of sassy and moxy, and she had told him an enthralling and carefully edited tale from the young Prince's homeland while she bathed him.

It seemed so long since she sang in the halls of Asgard, before her friends, parents, even Odin himself. Now she sang softly to the baby, of his people and the great things they were capable of as she rocked him asleep, being careful to tuck a blanket around him to keep him warm before heading down to wait for one of his mothers. A cup of cocoa and People and she was settled in to wait, content.

A night out on the town! @ 09:14 pm

[info]skald_iona:

Iona had kept mostly to herself for months now. Ever since her almost-not-in-reality wedding...the shame and humiliation had left her isolated in her own mind. It had taken some coaxing (and a little flirting) but Halbjorn had finally convinced her that her self imposed exile was needless - selfish, even. And truly, how could she deny her Prince anything - even her company?

So she had shyly asked for Vernique to help her find a dress and to aid her in preparations for the premier of He-Man. She had to admit - it felt nice...good, even, to be dressed up and to feel the thrill of anticipation of an unforgettable night to come.

Things of Nightmares @ 09:28 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

Svalin woke to find herself lying on the ground. She blinked. What had happened? The last thing she remembered was being attacked. She didn't see the attacker, but the world went black and she woke up here. Where was here?

Svalin pulled herself to her feet and looked around.

The world was desolate and had been destroyed at some point. Where in Hel was she and what had happened?

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.

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.

time for a training montage.. @ 08:16 pm

[info]skald_iona:
Current Mood: determined
Tags: ,

For weeks, nay, months now, Iona had been listless, rarely leaving her room let alone the Defenders compound. Despite reassurances that what happened on Asgard had not been her responsibility, guilt weighed her down almost unbearably - but finally, the shame over hiding like a frightened child and shirking her duties to her friends, Midgard and Asgard finally grew greater than her shame over her part in the events back home and she emerged.

Never again would she be so easily overpowered...and the simplest and most effective way to make sure that didn't happened was to pour her energy into growing strong, fast, as able to defend herself and those she gladly served under as she was able to spin a tale. Honing such skills had never been a necessity for her, never a passion. That would have to change.

Entering the training facilities with a determined stride, she moved over to the wall of weapons to be used to practice with, determination setting her mouth in a hard line.
 

A Time Honored Tradition - Rate the Hunk @ 02:01 pm

[info]anyastark:

Traditions were important.

For a lot of people the day after Thanksgiving meant hitting the stores and getting great deals on items that would most likely be Christmas presents. For the female Avengers and others the day after Thanksgiving meant a different tradition. They would gather and rate the hunkiness of the male members of the various teams.

Anya had been up at the crack of dawn and readied the Thunderbolts' headquarters. Normally this would take place in the Avengers Mansion, but the boys would be holding Rate the Babe there and the girls needed their own space. She made travel arrangements for everyone invited. Avengers, X-Men, SHIELD, Future Foundation, Alpha Flight, Champions, and the Defenders.

Anya had the event catered by a local restaurant, not wanting to make the Thunderbolts chef have to feed so many people. She had even made sure that all of the Kelly's guns were unloaded.

Everything was ready for their guests.

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.

An OUTRAGEOUS Revelation! @ 09:25 pm

[info]son_of_hercules:

Irina having dropped him off, Argo felt the need to visit his friends and fellow gods of the Defenders.  It had already been a good time since his return to the mortal realm (though he had been unusually quiet in discussing what, exactly, had caused him to leave Olympus).  He had drank many beers, he had told many stories, and he had been with many women.

Some of the fangirls had been rather enthusiastic about his return.

But for now, he wished to see his other friends.  He'd heard there had been a baby born while he was gone.  To Svalin, no less!  He'd thought her only slightly less frigid than Asleif, unable to be warmed even by the Lion Cub of Olympus.  Who could have reached her so?  His helm was off to such a master of woo, whomever he may be.

He rang the bell.
 

(no subject) @ 08:51 pm

[info]nextgen_asgard2:

The Asgardians returned to Asgard after the incident with Malekith and Surtur. Svalin, Aridis, Halbjorn and Asleif reported what happened to their father and mothers, causing much concern in Asgard. The opposition was taking more direct action involving Solver and all of Asgard had to be more vigilant.

Aridis informed her father of Asleif's role in what transpired and what she did for her siblings and what she thought she was doing for Asgard. People were ordered to assemble in the great hall.

Wedding March to a War Drum (Kael, Aridis, Iona, Asleif, Hal) @ 10:54 pm

[info]nextgen_asgard2:

The Hulk and Algrim were taking care of each other and were gone from Asgard. The threat that loomed over the city and her inhabitants was almost gone. The city was still on guard against Frost Giants and other enemies of Asgard, but for now they had a short respite.

It was time to see to the wounded and repair what they could before the next attack came. It was also time to celebrate a marriage. Alfveror had petition Lady Frigga for her permission to have the wedding and the Goddess of Marriage had agreed.

Despite the hard times they had just face and most of Asgard's warriors sporting injuries and quite a few dead, the city had a festive air about it.

Svalin had left to find her wife and son as soon as she got Hal back to the city and had gotten him medical attention. Her sister would see to Asgard as a queen's duty.

The wedding was about to start.

Regrouping @ 08:28 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

The last attack on Asgard had been stopped, but Svalin didn't know how much longer they could hold out. A lot of Asgard's warriors had fallen and a lot were injured. Battle worthy warriors were in short supply. Even Svalin was sporting a few injuries and bandages.

Aridis had returned with Sif and the Warriors Three. Kael had returned with Thor, but Thor was still unconscious. Iona had returned with Balder. It brought hope to Asgard, but not to Svalin. Halbjorn was still missing and so was Solver.

They met in the council chambers to discuss the next plan of action.

The Quest for Balder (Iona) @ 03:12 pm

[info]nextgen_misc:

The trip to the base of Yggdrasil where the Norns made their home was mostly uneventful. The small party easily avoided the wandering groups of Asgard's enemies and reached the spot under the world tree. Three women were gathered around the Well Urdarbrunn. Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld saw them approach and stopped their activities and waited.

Los Angeles had an unending stream of inspiring actors, musicians and entertainers of every shape and size, and an unending supply of venues for them to display their talents. It was Open Mic Night at one of the local coffee shops that The Defenders liked to frequent and Iona had had the flyer requesting talent in her room for weeks, months before she finally decided to act on her desire.

It wasn't stage fright exactly, she'd performed in far greater halls than this, she'd sung for all of Asgard in the Great Hall more than once, but she hated feeling like she was imposing on her friends, demanding attention...But the idea had been welcomed and several of the Defenders were now ensconced in the back of the coffee house along with the old, well used but greatly loved guitar she had finally found on Midgard to claim as her own. Drinks were ordered as the acts were called up one at a time as the old familiar excitement started to build.

Lights, Camera... @ 01:25 am

[info]skald_iona:
Tags: ,

A movie set wasn't at all what she had been expecting. Then again, the Asgardian hadn't had *any* point of reference to start with. The set, the cameras, the number of people walking around - it had been magical and at the same time overwhelming. She had wanted to stay out of the way, despite Hal's reassurances that she was welcome and was doing her best to stay close to the Prince without getting in the way of the dozens of people, all of whom seemed to be in a hurry. Scrambling a few steps to keep from getting hit by a golf cart, she almost slammed right into Hal's back, "...is it always so...frantic?" It seemed a world away from home. Oh wait...

Taking a Stand @ 12:07 am

[info]olympian_elf:

 The world of mortals was still alien to Kael. He wondered just how much longer he would have to stay here. Had his mother found any clue as to those who had created the shadow army that attacked Asgard? If not, then how long would it take? It wasn't as if it was all bad here. The Defenders were good people. Svalin was at least being more tolerant of him. Haljborn tended to be at least partially hostile most of the time. Vernique,, He turns slightly to the small woman holding her Asgardian son. He was fond of the woman. But still.. what was he doing here?

Girl's Day Out @ 07:21 pm

[info]skald_iona:

Iona had spread the word through The Defender's base: Any ladies who were free and cared to join her were welcome to come on a shopping trip. She needed clothes. Midgard clothes, and wished to see more of the world, in general. Halbjorn would be taking her to his set, she wanted to fit it...and a small part of her wanted to look good with her, she'd seen the women they put in movies, they were truly beautiful.

So at the appointed time she was waiting in the garage, hoping someone else would accompany her, to lend a guiding hand...and show her where the mall was.

Hollywood, Here We Come! @ 06:34 pm

Iona was truly enjoying Midgard. What parts of it she'd managed to see that is. Once she discovered the TV and the *wonderful* invention of Netflix, she'd been veritably glued to the TV, pouring over the stories. Movies. Here they were called movies. The red program was even an oracle, making suggestions that had, thus far, been mostly entertaining. And then she came across...She couldn't believe it. Halbjorn's face on screen, playing a character, Cuchulain.

After watching both of his films, it had taken her days to work up the nerve to seek him out. But she came prepared! Armed with a heaping plate of leftovers from Midgard's *wonderful* holiday recently past, she knocked softly on his door.

Wish I Could Be There to Share the Moon (open) @ 09:54 pm

[info]shield_maiden:
Tags: ,

The new Asgardian God of the Sun was also a night-owl. Solver didn't like sleeping much, which didn't come as much of a surprise to Svalin. He was half Asgardian and as a race they didn't require much sleep and she believed Jon's people also didn't need much sleep. Svalin could go about a week of not sleeping before she had to have some. It seemed like her son was trying to match her at his young age. He napped a little during the day and slept just a little more at night. He kept his two mothers quite busy.

Vernique couldn't pull twenty-four hour days so while she slept at night, Svalin took over Solver duties. Most nights they walked around the compound enjoying the night air and the stars. Tonight was a little on the cool side, which meant a little more comfortable for the Asgardians, and the moon was almost full giving off plenty of light to see. A very large tiger silently followed them as they walked.

Solver rested against her chest sucking a thumb. Every so often Svalin would drop a kiss on soft, dark hair and smile.

It was a perfect night save for Jon not being there. Svalin wasn't moping or brooding, but she did think about him quite often. Mostly when she looked at their son. Even at this young age Svalin could see Jon's features in him. The child would never know his father and Jon would never know his son. Jon didn't even know he had a son. It had been a cruel twist of Fate.

Solver stirred a bit and Svalin patted his back a little.

Fresh air and sunshine (Open) @ 01:04 am

[info]shield_maiden:

It was strange that when Svalin first came to Migard she didn't want to be here or stay, but the place had grown on her and now she enjoyed it. She missed it and the people when she was in Asgard. It was good to be home and back into what was now considered normal life.

The sun was just coming up in the east and Svalin was already up and outside. She had seen to Tryggvi and Snowflake and decided to get a few hours of practice in before the other residents of the compound woke. Vigfrior wasn't in her hand, but instead it was at her waist. She had her Bat'leth in her hands and worked through her forms.

Dragon Hunting @ 08:34 pm

[info]shield_maiden:

The sun was bright and the air was crisp with the hint of the cold that was to come with winter. It was the perfect day for hunting and it was exactly what Svalin had planned to do. She walked easily beside the others and was eager to find prey.

She had been awake with the dawn and had been anxious to go. Nine months of sitting around and doing little were past her and it was time to get back out there. The days since Solver's birth had been spent getting back in shape when she wasn't spending time with her family. Hours in the practice yard with anyone who would spar with her and miles of running. She was a bit determined to get back into top shape as quickly as possible.

A bow was in her hand and Vigfrior at her side. She would have loved to bring Tryggvi, but horses and her brother didn't get along well so they walked. Svalin didn't mind. It would only help her get back in top shape.
