Day 8; Orb 1; Intro

[brosif]

[Sif sits in a throne that does not feel like her own, but that others have insisted she take. Nonetheless, she does look regal – she has never had a problem taking command when a mission lies so plainly in front of her. This kingdom needs help. When her quest has been fulfilled, she can go home. That is the way of such things.]

Greetings. I am [and she pauses a moment, the words still uncomfortable] Prince Sif. That is what I have been asked to call myself. Like most of you, the title was thrust upon me and I have no need of it in the long term. But here, I represent my home of Asgard. It would not do for a representative of the Æsir to leave a kingdom unaided that asks for help. I am sure that the same holds true for those of you that choose to represent your own realms.

And so, I would seek this kingdom’s best and brightest to join me in an excursion to the Two Faced Forrest, to investigate these thorns. There is a sizeable reward available to anyone who can help us provide further information about them.

[How peculiar this is the second female addressing herself with a masculine title she's responded to today]

Salutations.... [A pause] prince. [Brietta was a wizard here but she had no intention to use the title] I can't say I hold the same enthusiasm you do. A kingdom in peril it might be.. but they did kidnap all of us..... how can we be sure they are the good guys?

[And.. wasn't Asgard from Norse mythology.... oo boy .. this place was getting stranger]

[brosif]

I don't assume that they are the good guys. But they are clearly in need of assistance, and we are held here until we give it. I see no reason not to complete the task.

[Meet the Asgardian curve: where kidnapping someone for their assistance is a reasonable course of action.]

[l33t_magician]

[Oh no, not another one of these. She tries to handle this one differently...]

Unless we can find another way out.

[She doesn't plan on blindly complying]
