From the Docks to the Isle of IKEA, Wednesday Afternoon

[dressedinblood]

Long ago in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor...okay, on Wednesday afternoon, Anna stood on the dock and waited for the arrival of the others who were going (along with anyone else who wanted to show up; this was hardly a private trip) and a shuttle-longboat from the Isle of Ikea. She'd cashed in her first paychecks from the Devil's

Vikings and Boats and Some Plans for a Furniture Store

Gather to wait for a longboat manned by Swedes and take a trip to the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size!

Tara was pretty cheerful as she waited for the boat. Somehow she'd never gone to the Isle of Ikea before, and her room could use some redecorating. She'd be looking for anything that might work for college, too.

"Ikea still sounds like a silly place to go," Loki announced. "Like the mart of walls. They smiled too much there in Broxton."

It was unnerving.

Tara smirked at him. "Wal-Mart was a big night out back where I came from," she announced. "Um. Where I come from is really, really boring."

"Broxton was as well." A beat. "Between the battles, that is."

Tara smiled again. "It'd be kind of weird if you thought it was boring during the battles ..."

"Oh no, there is much more running during that."

Thank you, Loki.

"Running instead of standing there and fighting? Or just ... running because there is fighting?"

That was interesting. Most of the people Tara knew in Fandom stood their ground no matter what.

Loki just shot her a look.

"We are gods who enjoy battle." A beat. "Well, they are. I would sooner stab myself in the eye with one of those fanciful lamps Stacey seems so enamored with."

Tara tilted her head, considering this. "So you're kind of a bad Viking, is what you're saying."

"I like other things." Like magic. And destroying Asgard.

Tara flashed a smile. "I don;t blame you. I'm not big on fighty myself."

"Which is why you will survive where others will not."

Oh, Loki. Loki.

"That's the plan," Tara said, with a lazy smile. "Get to be, y'know, some wrinkly old witch sitting on a porch with iced tea and grandkids."

Dammit, Tara.

"You want grandchildren?" he asked curiously.

"Not like immediately," Tara said, properly horrified. "But ... yeah. I've always kind of figured I'd have kids when I grew up somehow. Why, did you -- older you -- have some?"

She wouldn't be shocked by a yes answer. As far as she could tell from myths, gods bred like rabbits.
