[The feed flickers on, and there's a new arrival staring at the screen. He's quiet for a moment, as if he's gathering up all the proper words that he needs to address this device, then speaks in a controlled yet casual manner.]Yggdrasil either has longer branches than anyone has had the pleasure to know, or I now somehow lie beyond its reach.

[And Norway's interest is immediately pulled over by this stranger's mention of Yggdrasil, listening before pointing out simply:]

Thor's a fine enough name, you.

[He imagines that he will continue to receive similar responses, so he asks in return:]

And what is so 'fine' about it, if you will indulge me?

Re: video ;

[lutefisk]

Nothin' wrong with anyone commemoratin' the gods. 'nd this ship's reliable enough t'do its job.

Re: video ;

[allfatherissues]

You're correct concerning the first part, though I'm far too new to know anything of the second.

There are better gods to commemorate, then.

Re: video ;

[lutefisk]

Ya've got a favorite in mind, then?

Re: video ;

[allfatherissues]

Well, as I've heard there is already a Loki, Sif, and Sigrun. Perhaps an Odin? An impressive title for an impressive ship.

[He thinks about this for a moment before nodding.]

That's a good name, though it ain't certain what the Alfather would think of bein' second choice of an already named ship.

[allfatherissues]

Hm. [There's something wry about his smile.] I am certain that he has many other more pressing matters to worry about, other than where his name ranks on foreign vessels.

True enough. But vanity's got its way of sneakin' on anyone.

[Anyway, he's heard of the Sif already existing, but the other two come as a surprise.] If ya heard that then do ya know how they were shaped?

Re: video ;

[allfatherissues]

[A quirk of the brow] How they were shaped?

Re: video ;

[lutefisk]

Right. With Thor bein' shaped like a turtle it wouldn't far-fetched assumin' the rest had a similar fate.

Re: video ;

[allfatherissues]

Ah, yes. The Loki was shaped like a bear; random imagery at best. As for the others, I was not told of their forms.

Re: video ;

[lutefisk]

I see. Would've been better to make it a horse. Or a snake. [lmao]

Re: video ;

[allfatherissues]

[..../cry]

...I suppose that's only natural to say, considering the many pictures certain myths paint.

Re: video ;

[lutefisk]

'Only natural'. Ya've got better suggestions?

Re: video ;

[allfatherissues]

Not particularly, other than the fact that being relatively ship-shaped would be a fine choice. Or is that a bit too practical?
