[ nico's sitting in his customary spot atop the roof of the communal housing, but he's got a pensive look on his face. around one finger appears to be a red string, which he's frowning at, not realizing no one else can see it. in his other hand is a milkshake which he sips now and then. ]

I guess we're still out of luck in finding a way back through the portal, even after everything... Has anyone ever tried to go back through it? I've been here like... six months and am ready to go home.

[ a pause as he tugs on the string around his pinkie and then curses in latin. ]

Has anyone tried the dumb soulmates stuff yet? I don't think it works. Mine doesn't seem to lead anywhere.



[ and in fact, it doesn't. nico's soulmate isn't in riverview, as far as he knows. if he has one at all. i intend for him to be soulmate-less, but if you want the string to go to your character, hit me up at alkahestic ]

She up and left without a word. And you know where she went? My world.

[Oh, the irony of it all, being stuck here while Letha went off to a place she thought was trouble-free. She'd soon learn her mistakes there. Kattegat was a target for all sorts of raiders. That wasn't even including all the political turmoil always going on there.]

You better say goodbye. Or I will hunt you down. [Leave it to Ivar to find a way to make that portal work if for no other reason than to chew out a friend for leaving him alone. He has a lot of abandonment issues.]

[deathkid]

She did? I didn't even know that...

[ and now he's surprised. he likes ivar, he seems like a cool guy, but to think they're friends enough for ivar to hunt him down takes him by surprise. ]

I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. Promise.

[ragnarsson]

Considering she didn't even tell me, I'm not surprised.

[His abandonment issues are severe enough that they have convinced him everyone in his life is going to leave him eventually sooner or later. Right now, they've definitely been exacerbated with Letha's disappearance.]

[deathkid]

I'm sorry, dude. That sucks. She should've at least said it to you.

[ he feels the overwhelming urge to hug ivar, and typically, he's not keen on physical touch. but the poor guy looks like he needs it. ]

[ragnarsson]

Yes. She should have. Leaving me I could handle. But she left Winter too. What kind of a mother does that? Right now, I want nothing more than to break her neck.

[He's definitely in the anger phase of being heartbroken. There was a fifty-fifty chance he'd either accept that hug or stab Nico right now.]

[deathkid]

She did? That's just.... [ shaking his head. he can sense the anger from ivar, even though the feed and that gives him an idea. ]

How 'bout we go out and kill some monsters together. It'll take your mind off things for a while.

[ragnarsson]

Yes. I feel the intense desire to kill something big, tough, and mean.

[Although there is going to be nothing out there that is meaner than Ivar is feeling right now. Splitting open a few skulls will at least be an emotional release, even if it doesn't make him feel all that much better.]

[deathkid]

Good. I'll join you. Meet me down outside the housing and we can go slaughter some stuff.

[ragnarsson]

Alright. Give me a few minutes to find someone to watch Winter.

[deathkid]

Not a problem. I'll be waiting.

[ want to do this in ivar's log? ]
