Video; un: bat.enthusiast

["Ash"'s device cuts on and shows the ground. The occasional tremble can be seen in the video and heard in his voice that has nothing to do with the cold. ]

I went for a walk today and found something I can only describe as horrifying. A body, with a note attached to it. I have made sure to hide the rest of this video after so those that do not wish to see the following image won't have to and we can just...discuss ways to calm my shaking nerves.

[The device pauses for a moment before moving to the body: it's been burned terribly, the corpse forced and tied into a position not unlike that of a cooked turkey. The device zooms in on the note, which has been worded with various bits of paper like an old school ransom note from one of those overly dramatic movies.

You know the ones. It reads: 'Help! I was left in the oven too long and missed my big day! Please eat me.' A sad face sticker is placed at the end. The video moves to show the communal housing building. Seems "Ash" here was on his way back home when he came across the corpse.]

What should I do?

[Bah, even in his own mind, Ivar's no villain. The show is called Vikings after all, so of course he's the protagonist.]

Sure. For them. But they'd do the same to use if they got the chance.

[super_sane]

[He agrees, Ivar. He agrees.]

I'm not so sure that's true.

[It's true.]

[ragnarsson]

You must have a higher opinion of people as a whole than I do.

[People were savage, brutal, and cruel. That was one thing that hadn't changed in a thousand years since Ivar's time.]

[super_sane]

I try to. At least most of the time.

[ragnarsson]

That optimism is definitely misplaced.

[super_sane]

We'll see mister..ah...boneless?

Private

Ivar The Boneless.

[He fiddles around with his device for a moment before making their conversation private.]

So are you going to tell me the real reason you cooked that guy up? Or was it just for fun?
