Let's all haze the newbie.
Who: Ruffnut and you!
What: Viking girl is having a hard time adjusting to the arena.
When: Week 2
Where: near the end of main street.
Notes: None yet but give it some time, I'm sure some monsters will show up or something.
Sometimes, it was the little things that got you through the night.
It had been a long week without proper food, a proper bed or a proper argument with her brother. Ruffnut found she kept turning to say something to him only to remember he wasn't there. And for the first time in a long time she had the strangest feeling in her guts.
Could she actually be missing him?
No of course not! That was stupid!
And so as the morning mist settled over the street, the eerie silence would be broken by the sound of metal on metal clanging together in an irritating fashion that was sure to draw someone (Or something's attention.)
The source of that noise was Ruffnut, sitting on the front stoop of one of the abandoned houses as she tried to pound a hole in the side of an old rusty pot.
CLANG CLANK CLONK!
Her mouth twisted into a crooked look of satisfaction as the nail she'd been hitting with a hung of broken brick pierced the worn and rusty metal. Turning the pot around she resumed her work on the other side.
Next to her say an over sized serving fork and a bent piece of pipe. Whatever purpose they served in the project would become apparent in time.
Because sometimes when nothing in the world made sense anymore you grasped for the familiar. And so in desperation she sought to at least replace a lost item that would make her feel a little less off balance.
Ruffnut was making herself a helmet.

When he peered around the house it turned out to be a girl.
"What are you doing?" Ian asked, incredulous that someone would want to draw attention to themselves like that.
no subject
"Making a helmet. My head feels naked." she explained. "It's not a proper helmet but it should work." She turned to sit on the stairs so she could watch him carefully.

"This metal's already pretty weak so it won't protect much. But it'll make me feel better." She determined in a rare moment of letting her guard down and admitting she actually had feelings.

"Eh." Shrugging her shoulders "What's the worst that could happen." Still given her introduction into the arena that might not have been the best question to ask.

"Yeah some guy tried that already. Knocked me through a wall. It was totally cool." A crooked grin crossed her features as she thought back to the pain that had been inflicted upon her on her first day.
"I think he was eaten by some bugs. I dunno I was outta there."

As it turns out, that "vile, twisted person" was just a young girl. What was with this place and bringing in youths?
Not that it phased her too much. But perhaps it should be more than a little worrisome? "What is it that you are doing?"
no subject
"When I woke up in that place before they sent us here I didn't have my helmet, and my head feels weird without it so I figured I'd ya know...improvise."
Placing the pot on her head she held up the substitute horns on either side to give an idea of what she was going for.
"It's not a real helmet, but I figured it was better then nothing."
no subject
"What possessed you to make such an imitation?"
no subject
"Well my head kinda feels naked without a helmet." She confessed "I wear one every day back home. And since it's bad enough I'm wearing these weird clothes I might as well feel a little better about what's going on...whatever is going on." She reasoned in her own roundabout way.
It wasn't the most helpful of reasons for doing this, but it would make her feel better hopefully.
"I'm Ruffnut." She added in introduction.
no subject
"And I am Red Sonja."
no subject
"It was pretty awesome." She added with an unstable smile.
no subject
no subject
"Well I just meant like, he hit me really hard and I got back up again. This whole idea of ya know, fighting people forever. That's awesome! Who wouldn't want to do that?"
The point having been missed entirely.

sorry for how late this was
He approaches the sounds with caution, wrench raised in defense as he rounds the corner to see.. a girl. A young girl. Banging away at a pot. Instantly, he lowers his weapon, but his gaze is wary as he watches what she's working on. He puts two and two together quickly, a small smile tugging at his lips when he does.
"Clever." He observes. "I've seen stranger helmets in my time."
Better late then never :P
"Right? Finally someone gets it."
She adjusted one of the "Horns" and put it on her head to see how it felt. No where near as comfortable as a proper helmet.
"What's a viking without her helmet though?"
no subject
"It seems clear enough to me." He muses. "And you are a viking?" He raises a curious brow, looking a little incredulous.
no subject
"Ruffnut Thorston from the isle of Berk. Proud member of the Hairy Hooligans tribe!" She puffed out her narrow chest as all Berk children were taught to do when trying to appear imposing. It failed miserably with her.
"We ride dragons." she added as a side note wanting to make sure this guy understood just how awesome she was.
no subject
“And does Lady Iskierka know that you may intend to ride her?” He raises an amused brow, wondering if she’s had the fortune of meeting the dragon.

"I am Thor, Thor Odinson." He offers her a grin. "And I'm sure you will have heard of me, Viking."
no subject
"Wait...like Thor? The Thor?" She snorted and barked out a laugh.
"No way. You're like...tiny! I always thought Thor was ya know...Big as a house and strong as a mountain! Lightning bursting from his every footstep!"
