Hollywood, Here We Come!
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.

	Halbjorn is in his room, working on sharpening the edge of one of his knives with a whetstone. On hearing the knock he calls to the door, "Enter." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	She poked her head in before slipping in, "I hope I'm not bothering you..I brought thee food..." She held out the plate. "I was hoping thy might have a few moments to spare...I don't wish to be a bother.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nay, beautiful one, thou couldst ne'er be a bother. Come, rest... join me and share the food. I thank thee for thy kindness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 01:39 am UTC (link)
	She pinked at that and stepped in, setting the plateful on a table before moving to sit. "I...must admit..I saw thee...on the television. In a movie. I thought it was wonderful, to be able to relive such wonderful stories..thee was wonderful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He digs into the food, eating with his hands for the most part, scooping potatoes and other things less easily eaten by hand onto bread or bits of meat. "Ahhh, yes... Simon thought I couldst do well in Hollywood. Tis an engaging passtime. The new movie wast delayed by Dracul's attack, but wilt be out next year." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 01:48 am UTC (link)
	"Another??" She tucked her hands under her legs as she watched him, looking down, then back up. "Perhaps...if it would not inconvenience thee...might I accompany you? I do so want to see for myself how such feats are done, tis almost like magic.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 01:54 am UTC (link)
	He nods with some enthusiasm, "Mine sisters hath a'ready been on the set. The director hast not minded me bringing guests to the studio til now. It doth require great patience... but tis still quite entertaining. And I wouldst appreciate having thee there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 01:56 am UTC (link)
	"I'll not be underfoot, I give my most ardent vow..." She tried to look serious but she was just brimming with excitement. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"Oh, worry not of that. They wilt show thee where thou canst sit and watch, and bring thee coffee and such. They hath people about for such things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 02:09 am UTC (link)
	"It all sounds so....glamorous. I have been watching many movies...the women are most beautiful...and the stories..." she gave a deliciously happy sigh, relaxing back in her chair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 02:15 am UTC (link)
	"Aye, tis the stories I findeth most fascinating. The process of creating them... ist quite oft slow and boring. Mayhap thou couldst aid me, though... I quite oft need someone to aid me with lines... as I cannot read, I most oft hath them read to me and memorize mine lines with some practice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 02:17 am UTC (link)
	"I would be most honored Prince...Please, in any way I can aid thee...it would please me to do so." She flushed again, ducking her face to hide it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 02:30 am UTC (link)
	He nods thoughtfully, then reaches over to his dressed, digging out his script to offer over to her. "This ist mine lines for the current movie. I know most of them... but thou canst study that to see how tis done. And thou needst not use mine title... we art all in service of the realm. Halbjorn dost quite well, or some here use 'Hal'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 02:36 am UTC (link)
	She took the script and hugged it to her chest after looking at it. "I will guard this with my very life...Halbjorn. You are very kind, to allow me such an honor as to help thee..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 03:16 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "Read through it at thine leisure. But if tis destroyed, worry not. I hath torn more than a few... they giveth me new ones. Truly though, the honor ist mine... to hath a true storyteller aiding me in learning mine parts." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 03:19 am UTC (link)
	"I doth envy you...to be able to speak to so many people, to be truly immortalized in these tales...no one could be more worthy of such an honor.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 03:27 am UTC (link)
	"I treasure more the tales of Asgard, these art but fanciful tales... but fun. Wert it more serious, I wouldst ne'er take the part of a Celt... but at least the part wast the greatest of their heroes. I wilt need to introduce thee to more people then, and mayhap take thee out to a few of the taverns here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 03:30 am UTC (link)
	She pinked at that, once again, evidently very pleased at the idea of being taken out by him. "Aye...I would like that...Perhaps...one day, when my skill has grown and I am more worthy...I might write some of our greatest tales down, to be put on the screen for all of Midgard to see..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 03:41 am UTC (link)
	"That wouldst surely make for some great movies... mayhap I canst introduce thee to a few friends of Simon's who couldst talk to thee about such things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 03:49 am UTC (link)
	"Perhaps...after I see how it all works? I would not want to bring you shame by sounding ignorant..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 03:55 am UTC (link)
	"Methinks thou'rt too hard on thyself. But aye, come along to filming this week. I wilt introduce thee to mine agent, and show thee the studio, and thou canst watch filming. Methinks thou wilt learn more quickly than I did." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You are very smart...If you'd like...I could teach thee to read..only if it 'tis thy wish, I know thee is very busy, as great men tend to be.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 04:02 am UTC (link)
	"Mine sister and Zoey hath been teaching me some. I hath learned most of the English alphabet, and canst read some things, if slowly. If thou wishest to help, I wilt not argue... it simply hast ne'er been too important. Most oft, mine memory serves well enow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"A fine memory is importantant, you speak truth, and are most wise...but the written word my lord, is eternal. Your words may be kept in perpetuity for all of eternity. None are able to change your words once they are written...but thee must take care to always write what thy truly means...lest you do yourself an injustice..." it was very likely the most shed ever said to him.

He considers that a few moments, then smiles. "Aye, tis why I hath such as mine sister and thee to write for me. Thou'rt better with words than e'er I wilt be, and hath more dedicated thyself to such affairs. I wilt continue to learn of letter o'er time... but I am a warrior born, always. I wilt create mine story with deeds... and tis the sacred responsibility of such as thee to make certain the tales art told true."

	She nodded in all seriousness. "I shall try....truly..I shall..I give thee my word." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 04:27 am UTC (link)
	He grins. "Canst I give thee one other suggestion, then?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 04:29 am UTC (link)
	"Anything, you have to but say the word." She sat up a little straighter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Relax." he replies with a smile. "The movies art entertaining... but they art entertainment. If I destroy the script, I wilt get a new one. We hath a chance to do great deeds here... but there must needs be time to relax as well... this ist fine food... thou'rt fine company. There ist no need to treat e'erything as the end of the world... and I wouldst like to get to know thee better, without such airs."

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 04:45 am UTC (link)
	She looked at him before letting out a pent up breath and a small laugh, releasing the stranle hold she had on the script, setting it aside. "Mayhaps I tend towards the dramatic...it is an after affect of my trade. I shall try to be more...natural." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 05:01 am UTC (link)
	He nods with a smile. "Mayhap tis suited around the palace and mine grandfather - but tis not necessary to be so formal here. Besides, I wouldst like to know the real Iona better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 05:07 am UTC (link)
	"...I have spent my whole life in service to others...my mother...as my father's apprentice...to asgard itself. I've spent little time thinking of myself and when I have...it has brought me no peace...it is far easier to serve. But I shall try." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 05:15 am UTC (link)
	"Our lives art not our own. Our fates wert decided before we were born. I wilt die in service to Asgard, and proudly so. Shouldst she call, I wilt be there. But in the hours until then... there ist food, drink, women and song... and I so I wilt enjoy these things as well, and die without regret." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The women seem slightly less appealing to me..." she teased gently. "I know durty well. I know what is expected of me, the part I am to play..but I tell you, I cannot stomach it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 05:35 am UTC (link)
	"A shame, I met some lovely ladies during mine time in a woman's body once I wast shown the proper bars." He pauses. "Oh? What dost thou find so distasteful?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing...let's not speak of it. how did you ever take the form of a woman? Was it magic? This is a tale I haven't yet heard in the halls of the all-father..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 06:08 am UTC (link)
	He laughs, shaking his head, then goes on to tell her the story of the Empress and the people she kidnapped, eventually transforming a number of the men into women in hopes of finding her champion, until they were freed from her mind control by his oldest sister and some of the other women.

	stone_bear 2011-11-29 06:14 am UTC (link)
	He nods. "Twas an interesting experience. Not one I doth care to repeat, but interesting, e'en so." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-29 06:18 am UTC (link)
	She sat back, trying to imagine him as female, snorting and shaking her head at the image. "I hope to some day live such tales, and not just hear about them.." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your words are wise...and I am impatient, it is a quality i must reign in." She stood up after a moment, "...I believe there doth remain pie, if thee would like a slice?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods. "Aye, I wouldst. I thank thee for bringing all of this by, lovely one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	skald_iona 2011-11-30 01:16 am UTC (link)
	She bit her lip and smiled, "I like to please..." And there was definitely a sparkle in her eye as she skipped off to go find him pie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2011-11-30 01:23 am UTC (link)
	He grins at that, "I shalt keep that in mind." he teases, eyeing her hindquarters as she skips off. (Reply to this)(Parent)
