☠ 1st - video

[ex_halberd259]

I am the shieldmaiden Lagertha. I was among those who vanished into the corridors just before the nightmare began.

[ to put it nicely. ] There was no sign of my son during my wanderings.

For almost two months, several of you have told me that he isn't here. Or that giving up is the best thing to do. I never will.

[ too bad. the world has jaded her in a million ways and one. but bjorn is all she has left. without him, she has nothing. that just is not acceptable to her. it's bull-headed of her, but it isn't as though she cares. ]

However; I understand that rushing off blindly without a plan is hardly the wisest plan ever made. So, while I form one, I'd like to spar with as many of you as possible. To build up my strength.

[ if she doesn't, she'll go mad. ] Win or lose, there's still a pint or two of ale in it for you if you'd like to try besting me.

[ she has a feeling that the sentiment will be mutual. ]

Tomorrow afternoon, and I'll leave the location up to you.

The gym on the second level. And you'd better not stand me up.

I wouldn't dream of it. What is your name?

Johanna Mason. It's okay if you don't recognize it yet, I haven't been here very long. But trust me. I've got a reputation.

Being a barbarian from the Dark Ages, you'll need to forgive my obliviousness to your reputation.

( she's getting a real kick out of what she's been told, ngl. dark ages. so dramatic! )

[so dramatic! impassive, unimpressed, she blinks. there's a beat, and then it's like she's realized that was meant to jog something in her, some response--]

Oh, same, to you. That doesn't mean anything to me. Sorry.

That was the point.

( and she'd been deliberately over-the-top about her people's rep to see if it'd jog anything. when it doesn't, she's pleased. )
