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.

Generally in the arena, it was best to run away from strange noises. Or any noises. But as much as Ian was happy to hide for as long as possible, that wasn't going to get him anywhere. So he went to investigate, albeit quietly, as he might not want to disturb whatever was making the noise.

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.
splendid_roman: (Sceptical)

[personal profile] splendid_roman 2014-05-28 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Right." Ian's tone was sceptical. A helmet might well turn out to be useful, especially given that they didn't know what might be thrown at them. It was the making of it that was bound to attract attention. "Just a helmet or do you have plans for armour too?"
splendid_roman: (Raising an eyebrow)

Ian raised an eyebrow. If she knew it wasn't going to be that much protection he didn't quite understand why she was making one. "In that case, do you think it's wise to draw so much attention to yourself with all the noise?"
splendid_roman: (Thinking)

[personal profile] splendid_roman 2014-05-30 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Something or someone could come along and kill you," he said matter-of-factly. "There's no guarantee it would be fast or painless either."

He blinked. "Right," he said slowly. Despite first appearances, perhaps she was not someone to tangle with. It was probably just as well he hadn't come too close. "Well, be careful anyway."

The noise is what had drawn her attention. Just who decided to make such a racket, and was it meant to lead a person into a trap? Either way, Sonja stayed on her guard. There was no telling what kind of vial, twisted person could be making that noise.

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?"

"Perhaps not." Well that was kind of adorable, admittedly. Moving to kneel down beside the girl with an eyebrow raised. Protection from armor was most certainly important, yes. However protection called for proper armor, not an imitation. And from the looks of that metal there was no way that helmet would do anything for her. Granted that Sonja had no clue what the metal was, so that did remain to be seen.

"What possessed you to make such an imitation?"

That was quite the reasoning she gave. But hey, so long as it does not become too much of a burden for the child, then let her have the comfort. It's not as though she was doing anything to offend or harm Sonja, or anyone else. If anything the red headed woman was more worried about the girl. The world is a dangerous place, and while there are those who would help -there are also those who may take advantage of one so young.

"And I am Red Sonja."

"To be injured before a battle is not "awesome" it is a drawback." Even the smallest wound could prove to be a great distraction. Who knows, a simple cut could turn infectious with puss. And before you know it, you are running a fever and you are one arm less. Not exactly something you wish to happen in a match to survive.

It's been an eerie calm for Thor thus far. He'd split up a fight, won a weapon and found his friends. He'd stayed with them, keeping guard and pooling their sponsor gifts in order to survive. Stark was up to something, but he couldn't say specifically what it was. He was awaiting a bigger threat than what they'd experienced, he was constantly on alert for the signs. So, loud, unidentifiable banging noises? Definitely a threat as far as he's concerned.

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."

Thor chuckles at her surprise, an easy smile on his face so he doesn't at all appear to be a threat. He takes a step closer, now that she seems accepting of him, giving the helmet an appraising nod.

"It seems clear enough to me." He muses. "And you are a viking?" He raises a curious brow, looking a little incredulous.

“I’ve not heard of them, personally, but I’ve heard of Vikings. They are good folk, brave and fiercely loyal. Much like the people of Asgard, in fact.” He certainly isn’t imposed, he just laughs, seeming very pleased to hear it.

“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.

"She is a difficult one to impress, I'll grant her that." He laughs, more amused by this conversation than he's been in a long time. He holds out a hand for her, since he knows it to be a human greeting.

"I am Thor, Thor Odinson." He offers her a grin. "And I'm sure you will have heard of me, Viking."
