Video; Round-Trip Home

[ragnarsson]

[The video opens up with Ivar sitting on the edge of his bed, phone recording in one hand, and a knife being fiddled around with in the other. It's clear he's got something on his mind.]

So it turns out if you properly motivate people, they can get that portal fixed up to get you back home.

[It's best not to ask what motivation that was, but Ivar being Ivar, most everyone watching can probably figure it out.]

I'm going back home for a while to take care of some unfinished business. I left in the middle of a war and I need to see that through before I come back. [He pauses.] And don't bother trying to talk me out of this, I've already made up my mind. I'll see you all in two weeks.

[He waves goodbye with the knife and then cuts the video. Looks like the Quarantine has a reprieve from the crazy Viking for the next fourteen days. But he'll be back. Ivar's far too tough to do something as basic as dying back in his home world.]

You are the wiser and wittier of them. [ He smirks. ] Always a good trait for a warrior to have. There's no good in having strength if you don't know how to use or apply it.

[ Aeacinos may enjoy fighting but he obviously does it with some finesse and not just in a barbaric way. He uses his skills and magic to his advantage as much as possible. ]

But I don't see how you will lose or not succeed. Unless someone decides to not listen to your plans. And even then they'll die knowing they were mistaken for not doing so.

I'm glad that someone around here recognizes that.

[He looks like he's preening just a little bit under the praise. Aeacinos knows just what to say to feed the Viking's ego.]

They'll learn to listen. I know how to read people and see what they're going to do before they even do it. I'm sure we'll succeed with what is planned.
