Question. 

Does it snow here? Real snow, not just a little ice on the floor that melts as the day goes on.

That's...a positive way to look at things. [She doesn't know if she'll see her parents again, or her brother- while she's still in the air about if there's a heaven or hell or anything else, she's not convinced she'll go to the same place they are. She has a lot to makeup for still...

It keeps me from being eternally depressed.

[Only somewhat depressed. He also got his feelings out by taking revenge on those that had killed his parents, so yay for violence?]

[whosthemonsternow]

How'd they die?

[Tact? Being subtle? What are those? Never met them. But she does at least even the conversation]

Innies- the bad guys where I'm from- killed my parents. That dream you seen? That was their funeral, so I wasn't like a kid like Bambi, but it still sucked.

[ragnarsson]

My father was tossed into a pit of snakes by an English king after being betrayed by another who claimed to be his friend. My mother got shot in back by my father's ex-wife because she wanted to claim her crown. It all happened almost at the same time.

[Yes, Ivar's family history was one big dramatic ninth-century soap opera.]

[whosthemonsternow]

Um. Holy fuck? That's pretty fucked up.

[To put it lightly! What the fuck?'

Did you, well you knew who did it, were you able to do anything to get them back?

[She joined the UNSC to get back at the group in general who killed her parents, revenge is important to her]

[ragnarsson]

My brothers and I were in England just before I was pulled here. We'd killed one king and we were on our way to do the same to the other. Then I know my father can rest easy in Valhalla.

Killing my mother's murderer...I'm still figuring out a way to accomplish that which doesn't end up with me dead or then having to face my oldest brother, her son, all pissed off because I killed his mother.

[The problem with Vikings killing family members is that once it starts, it rarely stops at just one.]

[whosthemonsternow]

I mean, could kill her son too if you go back. Kill them all for killing your family- it's only fair.

[Okay. So. Maybe she's not the best person to give advice on families and murder and such, she has a messy history with that sort of subject. But here she is, definitely helping]

[ragnarsson]

I'd prefer to kill as few family members as possible. I don't have that many left.

[He won't always think that way. Ivar's ambitions and insanity means he'll eventually steamroll over anyone who gets in his way.]

Besides, Bjorn is tough. He once killed a bear with nothing but a knife and his hands. Both of us would end up dead if I went up against him.

[whosthemonsternow]

I guess that makes sense.

[She supposes you should keep what family you have left close, but she doesn't know she could do that, if a half or step sibling killed her mother, she's not sure she could care...]

It sucks ass when you can't get people back after they fuck you over- if there's a way I can help, just, I don't know, lemme know.

[ragnarsson]

I'll get back at them eventually. I'm patient. Someday, I'll go back through the portal to finish all of them off.

[Aw, South, he's touched by the offer. He'll never get used to people doing things because they're actually nice to him.]

Sure, I'll let you know.

[whosthemonsternow]

Well until then, if you wanna do anything like go hunt some of those beasts outside the wall or spar or anything- lemme know.

I'll try to go easy on you, kiddo.
