[Did your non-American character think that because they weren't even on Earth they could get away from the obnoxious 4th of July posts? Think again!]







God bless President Cap. I hope you have a good 8 years. And happy Independence Day folks.

Ah. What's the purpose then?

[Viking holidays usually involved lots of alcohol and the occasional animal sacrifice.]

[inebriety]

An excuse to get drunk and yell at other people about how great we are.

[He knows Ivar wouldn't get it so he might as well simplify it to a concept he would.]

[ragnarsson]

Sounds familiar. Add in animal sacrifice and it could be a Viking celebration.

[Everything is always improved by chopping the head off a bull.]

Good to know holidays haven't changed in a thousand years.

[inebriety]

The technology may change, but people don't.

Also Thor is your best god.

[Gotta support his homeboy.]

[ragnarsson]

Of course he is. He's my uncle, you know.

[Got to get in those bragging rights. Ivar was related to most of the Norse pantheon on his father's side. Ragnar had been the son of Odin, though Ivar had always been skeptical of the claim till his grandfather visited him in person.]

[Tony will take him at face value instead of being sceptical.]

So which one are you then?

['the.boneless' isn't a lot to go on with identities.]

[ragnarsson]

Ivar Ragnarsson. People call me Ivar the Boneless.

[The Viking that would end up being one of the most famous, ending up in the history books for his cruelty, cleverness, and inability to walk.]

[inebriety]

[When Tony had first heard of Thor he'd gone and looked up the relevant myths and as such had a better understanding than most.]

Now I get the name. I thought you might be one of the Aesir not a human descendant.

[ragnarsson]

That only I was so lucky. Still, my family hasn't done too badly for being a bunch of lowly mortals.

[His father was the most famous Viking in the world when he'd died.]
