After hearing about the kidnapping of one of his cousins -- he wasn't sure which. Obviously one of the older ones, either Aslief or the twins who were less cousins by blood than by consensus -- the important thing to Douglas was to find Skari and Hjordis as soon as possible and tell them.

"Trouble," he said seriously when he finally got to them.

	Skari perked his head and disfigured his expression when he noticed his cousin's downtrodden expression and most troubling word of choice as a greeting. "What kind of trouble didst thou witness, mine cousin?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"What kind of trouble? We art in trouble or there ist trouble?" Hjordis asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

" 'Tisn't normal trouble," Douglas explains first to Hjordis. Which, of course, would be their being in trouble, Skari and Douglas anyway.

Then looking at Skari. "Thou recallst that tactless swine with a slightly more mannerly brother who spoke with thy mother about wedding thy sisters?"

Despite being in human form, Douglas growled a little. "Apparently, he hath not taken no for an answer."

	Skari's expression twist further into a scowl of great displeasure. "That vermin! Which of mine sisters didst he take?" He paused. "No! I care not for names! Let us take up arms!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 12:54 am UTC (link)
	Hjordis looked at Skari for a moment and blinked. Rushing to battle was so not him, but it was his sister. Hjordis could understand that seeing how many siblings she had and how much she cared about them. "It ist an affair for the adults to deal with," Hjordis advised. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 12:57 am UTC (link)
	Douglas understands, too. "I ken not which. The better-mannered brother hath come to tell the Allfather of the kidnapping." Douglas looks at Hjordis. She raises a very valid point, but he can't help mentioning. "There might be much talk for some time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Skari looked at Hjordis, almost offended. "Doth thou suggest standing idly by while such vermin lays his filth-soaked hands on mine sister?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 01:04 am UTC (link)
	"I art saying we should let the adults handle this," she said. "Thine other sisters and brother art probably battling the swine as we speak." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"But they art in Midgard. If he hath taken her to his own place, how can they easily reach thence?"

"Far easier to reach from Asgard. Especially..." and he pulls out Tiwaz's Map of the eddies between the various divine realms and Midgard. "With this. Which I must point out I hath promised Mummy I would put back when I was done looking at it. Obviously, that ist not yet done."

	He rolled his eyes at Hjordis and turned his attention to Douglas. "Aha! Now there ist a most useful object!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"We shouldst not do this," she warned. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 01:45 am UTC (link)
	"Dost thou truly wish to wait this out when she could be rescued efficiently?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"Mine sister ist most important. Waiting ist no option." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 02:01 am UTC (link)
	"And just how are we supposed to get to the swine's lair?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 02:05 am UTC (link)
	"Well, he ist Manawydan son of Leir..." Douglas starts studying in a 'the celts have gotta be in here somewhere' sort of way. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 02:14 am UTC (link)
	"We shouldst make haste mine companions!" Clearly, Skari's mind was less on how they were getting there, and more on /when/ they were going to arrive and lay out justice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 02:16 am UTC (link)
	"Fine," she sighed. "We shall go. I art only going to keep an eye on you two. This ist not a good idea." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 04:28 am UTC (link)
	Douglas nods. "We art glad to have thee, Hjordis. This shalt work out. Thou'lt see. Skari, if thy ship is ready, we shouldst get our weapons and be off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 04:35 am UTC (link)
	"Then gather thy arms and let us be off, mine companions." Skari did not grin as usual, however. This was Serious F'ing Business. He was ready to retrieve his sister, whichever one it was he was rescuing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 04:39 am UTC (link)
	"Thou hath said that the last time, Douglas. And the time before that. And the time before that. Each time I hath said I told thee so." Hjordis was strapping on her sword anyway and then grabbed her shield. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 05:14 am UTC (link)
	Douglas checked and loosened the belt on which he kept his mace -- he was a little better with it than with a blade -- and loosened the rest of his clothing so he could change again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 05:31 am UTC (link)
	Skari had his sword and shield at the ready, and the ship was set to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Hjoris shook her head as she boarded the ship. This was a bad idea and they were going to get in A LOT of trouble for this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 06:43 am UTC (link)
	Douglas would help sail, and kept checking the map. The place wasn't really all that far. Certainly much closer than trying to make it to Midgard this way. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 09:44 am UTC (link)
	They had arrived, and Skari was more than ready to reclaim his sister. Whichever one it was that had been taken. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 09:48 am UTC (link)
	"I art surprised they art not here to fight us," Hjordis said as she left the ship and looked around. Manawydan's lair was under water in Otherworld, but the ship had protected them during the journey. Manawydan kept a bubble of air around the lair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-18 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Aye. Perhaps the swine was not expecting so prompt a rescue." Douglas tried to look for the best way into the building itself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2010-01-19 02:12 am UTC (link)
	The very large door opened and a welcoming party came out. They were all soldiers and all heavily armed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-19 03:15 pm UTC (link)
	"We art in trouble," Hjordis said as she drew her sword. "Hand over Aridis now!" Hjordis yelled at the approaching soldiers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-20 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	Skari brandished his sword, and at the top of his lungs he bellowed, "Thou shalt feel the wicked tongue of steel against thy flesh!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-20 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	Aridis seemed the likeliest candidate to Douglas as well. Skari was obviously taking this the worst of any of them, but there would be time to worry about him when worry was no longer necessary. He just stood there grimly in half-form, ready to take on the attackers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2010-01-20 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	The Celts advanced and spread out around the three young Asgardians, but they made no move to attack right away. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-20 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	Hjordis looked at the gathered host of Celts and looked at her two companions. They were vastly outnumbered and their battle skills weren't near the level of seasoned veteran warriors. She lowered her sword. "We wish to speak to the lord of this place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-20 10:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Ist thy Lord of Swine too chicken to face us?!" Not really helping what Hjordis was trying to do, but Skari was already worked up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-20 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	Douglas looks at Hjordis. He, too, can count. " We may benefit best, cousin, from an opportunity to go inside," he says quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2010-01-21 03:48 am UTC (link)
	The Celts closed the circle in around them. "Lay down your weapons!" one yelled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-21 03:52 am UTC (link)
	"Douglas ist right, Skari. We cannot hold against so many. We can do more inside and you know the whole host of Asgard wilt be here soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-21 06:14 am UTC (link)
	"But mine sister!" he complained. It was hard to let go of his pride, even if he masked it with wanting to save his sister (which, he truly did wish to save her. It's just... PRIDE!) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-22 03:00 am UTC (link)
	"...Shan't be served better by our own blood in this particular case, we have to admit." Douglas shifted to human form to make clear he was giving up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_misc 2010-01-22 05:33 am UTC (link)
	"Lay down your weapons!" the commander shouted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-22 05:34 am UTC (link)
	Hjordis did just that. She laid her sword down on the ground in front of her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-22 05:51 am UTC (link)
	Skari gripped the hilt of his sword so tightly his knuckles turned white, and then he dropped the blade. "I curse thy precious jewels to turn to dust." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_asgard 2010-01-22 06:16 am UTC (link)
	The mace joins the swords. Douglas is grimly silent. (Reply to this)(Parent)
