[Guess who's insensitive and doesn't really care? About most of what happened?]

Yes, yes, it could have been far more bloody; it would have satisfied many other gods outside this realm. No need to laminate on it further. What have you done for the dead, Asgard? Or how many of our wretched souls died here? Have you sent them off properly to the Otherworld?

Ah, that's expecting too much.

There aren't many druids, bards, or ovates here. I feel rather alone with only one to begin with. That shouldn't be a problem, Asgard, should it? I'd hate to turn on a few others so freely if anyone who follows the old ways.

Then onto the cleansing rituals; everything is likely damped withe negativity and anger. My dear Mordred, would you care to assist? I can teach more what I've learned in Eire in peace.

Druid? No. They've been dead for centuries. My mother, however, did teach me magic using their ways, though I think it's fair to say a lot's been lost in translation and what I am probably isn't very close to the mark if you're from their era.

Don't know of any others around here...

Because your world's ideas are obviously the ones that should apply here.

[gwenhwyfar]

We still exist; we haven't died out like an illusive creature. After it's just musing.

[gwenhwyfar]

No one is forcing you to listen to me.

[samantha_grey]

In your world. My world... is a little different, I'm fairly certain. None still write in ogham other than a few old sorcerers who bastardized it about a century ago. There's very little left of the old anymore.

I think you'd find my world a little depressing, Regina. Even the remaining servants of the kings under the hills are really depressing to talk to anymore.

[childofthewickedday]

I will help as I can, Regina.

[Video]

[gwenhwyfar]

Wonderful. It will be a good distraction for you.

Audio

[gwenhwyfar]

Depressing? That is subjective, to me, when we're at near war with not only humans but the gods.

Audio

[samantha_grey]

Eh. That doesn't depress me so much as piss me off. I don't like being conscripted into someone else's war, even if I've found things I want to protect here. But... guess you're right. It is subjective.

Audio

[gwenhwyfar]

Are you really confident that what you've found that you're willing to protect will last long? Do not expect things to remain solid and dependable, even outside of this world.

Audio

[samantha_grey]

It doesn't matter. I'm already used to the world being infuriatingly short-lived as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't change the fact that there's things I want to protect while I'm still stuck here, and things I care about in this place.

[ He's not supposed to know anything of the Druidic practises, but he has kept her charm with him and accepted more of their ways through his time living with Mordred. His curiosity is not new, nor is his desire to understand; he only wonders if she will even give him straight answer. Perhaps he does not deserve it. ]

What ceremony would you hold for them?

[Truth be told, she almost doesn't. She has only came there to be with Mordred. She sighs.

Regina is starting to notice that annoying weakness called "emotion". No matter how hard she tries, she can't be completely angry. Very vexing.]

Every time these things happen, cleansing and protection is good to ensure the safety of people. But for those lost, a safe passage to the Otherworld.

[burping]

Do you practice magic?

Audio

[gwenhwyfar]

You should be concerned about protecting yourself as well, I hope you realize.

video;

[gwenhwyfar]

Is it? So what if I practice it. Their rituals and prayers, just like anything else, when everything is said and done.

Audio

[samantha_grey]

I always protect myself. It's what I do. I'm a survivor, Regina. I really don't have that much of a choice in the matter anyway.

Audio

[gwenhwyfar]

I don't want to see one of my own ilk get wrapped up in false ideologies and used.

[LET HER BE AN OVER-PROTECTIVE SISTER... PERSON.]

Audio

[samantha_grey]

[Hah. She's trying to mother Sam. Oh god, Sam is not used to this, and it comes off in her voice a little.]

You don't need to worry about that. I'm just able to apply my ideals now, better. Besides, there's nothing wrong with wanting to protect something. It's not like I ever really had much back home to protect.

Audio

[gwenhwyfar]

I really hope they're worthwhile.

[ She looks taken aback. ] I was merely asking if you did or not. It was not an accusation.

Audio

[samantha_grey]

I do too, but that's something that you can only know for sure with time. It's never something you can be sure of right from the start.

[pratentious]

A prayer of sorts, then? That they might find rest in the next life.

[ That doesn't sound so bad. How did his father so thoroughly paint this into something tainted and wrong? ]

[ video ]

[gwenhwyfar]

Yes. Isn't that what you do when you mourn your dead?

Audio

[gwenhwyfar]

That is when you be on your guard.
