STICKY: IC MASS-CONTACT POST FOR GROUPS

[asgardmods]

CURRENT GROUP OBJECTIVES;
N/A

[ OOC: This post is here to facilitate IC interaction between the organized groups in Asgard. Think of it as an in-character version of this plotting post. Please feel free to use this as much as you need!


How it Works: Think of this like a very basic message board. Each group will have a subject heading in the comments, and only members of that group will be able to see what is in that thread. There is no locking or privating of messages between individual characters in this post. Just like a message board, all characters who have access to a thread will be able to see everything in it. Of course, feel more than free to take conversations to inboxes or logs - we want it to be easy to build CR from this!

This is an alternative to having to send out a dozen IC inbox messages. ICly, this is just a group messaging feature, to kick around ideas and to make communication and CR-building between group members easier.

If you're interested in getting more involved in group things, we recommend that you track the headers relevant to you! As always, if you have any questions, please let us know. ]

A fine idea

Maglor, Level 2 Bardic Influence.
I am a swordsman, for the most part, although I know the use of most weapons of like skill, and with a knife I have still good aim. I can train folk in the use of the War Bow, but I can no longer draw it with any accuracy. Like Milady Hill, I am always available at the Citadel to teach.

[feathery]

whoa i didnt know you could throw knives
i saw the knowledge about bows coming but knife throwing is like an extra step beyond badass than i anticipated

[bythewaves]

It was often a useful skill, although I confess that knifework was my brother's preferred skill, and I am not so good as they.

[ although admittedly the long Elven hunting knives are closer to daggers or short swords than what most people think of ]

[feathery]

youre an elf chock full of surprises dude
im good with pretty much all swords and passable with other edged weapons but the only stuff ive ever thrown is like
cherry bombs and shuriken from my sylladex
not exactly the same thing
or just
not at all

[bythewaves]

Live as long as I, Davesprite, and you learn all sorts of things. I got very good at war, in my time. But if you wanted to learn, I do not mind teaching.

[feathery]

i could stand to learn how to throw sharp objects at a giant properly
maybe i can get an array to do it for me
how old are you anyway i dont think i ever asked

[bythewaves]

Come and find me and we will see how good your aim is already then, shall we?

It is always a little hard to judge, being born before moon and sun, but roughly some nine thousand three hundred or so, I believe.

[feathery]

HOLY
ok i admit i wasnt expecting that number to climb over 5 thousand
i guess it shouldnt seem that weird
like where im from there are ghosts in the dream bubbles whove been there for millenia or something
or so the rumor goes
but
damn
and here i was starting to think im getting old
but sure ill come by tomorrow if thats cool in the afternoon
i got to finish up my work shift and then ill be free

[bythewaves]

[ Somewhere over here, Maglor laughed aloud at Davesprite's reaction - this is always his favourite part about telling people his age ]

For one of my folk, even nine thousand is not that long. My mother lives still, and her father, and my father's father was one of those who were the very first to open their eyes, all the way back in the Beginning. We are the Eldar, whose life is tied to that of the world. So long as it exists, so will we.

I will see you then.

[feathery]

so you guys are kind of like the gods here then
all magical and sort of hippieish with flowers braided into their hair
i havent seen any of the gods with flowers braided into their hair but you know at least freyr and freya are all over that shit

[bythewaves]

[ yep still laughing over here ]

Oh no, nothing so powerful as that! We are the Firstborn, but before us there were the Ainur, the Holy Ones - who we call the Valar, the Powers of the World, and the Maia, their servants. They would be closer, I think, to what you are thinking. I am sure milord Freyr would love flowers in his hair - milady Freya as well, perhaps, but I have never asked. We are not... magical, at least, not the way I think you consider it, although we have abilities that may seem like it, I suppose.

[feathery]

could you magic me to death with a sick beat using your own abilities or is that restricted to here

[bythewaves]

Not the way I could here, exactly. But yes, I knew enough Songs of Power that I could, perhaps, bring down a tower for example.

[ or put a bunch of people to sleep or fight rap duels with Ultimate Evil. No really ]

[asgardsbeauty]

[What a good idea, David Sprite. She's totally stealing it, now. Expect to find a huge bouquet at the foot of your bed. She's taught them to sing songs you like, to the best of her understanding.]

[feathery]

[WHAT THE SHIT.

...

Ok, this is amazing. Freya for best goddess.]

Why can you no longer draw it?

text

[bythewaves]

My hands are burnt, Lady Hill. I can draw it, I suspect, but the weight required for a full draw, and the accuracy... no. I think myself better of teaching.

text

[brainsqueeze]

I'm sorry to hear that. Are the healers able to do anything.

text

[bythewaves]

Not for these - the burns are very old now. Thank you for the thought, but I am accustomed to them now

text

[brainsqueeze]

Then I wish your trainees luck. I know you'll train them well.

text

[bythewaves]

I will do my best. And perhaps one day you can show me how a gun works, eh? I dislike them, they seem inelegant, but a weapon is a weapon, after all.

text

[brainsqueeze]

I can do that. The more we know the better chance we have.

text

[bythewaves]

I thank you - I will seek you out, perhaps after my own lessons are done?

text

[brainsqueeze]

I'll save you a spot.

text

[bythewaves]

I will look forwards to it
