[The feed flickers on, and there's a new arrival staring at the screen. He's quiet for a moment, as if he's gathering up all the proper words that he needs to address this device, then speaks in a controlled yet casual manner.]Yggdrasil either has longer branches than anyone has had the pleasure to know, or I now somehow lie beyond its reach.

Yggdrsil?

[He does not expect everyone to know what he's referring to, but his response is simple nonetheless.]

The world tree. All that I knew.

It's completely preposterous.

Re: [video] allfatherissues October 3 2011, 02:02:36 UTC

I agree, it is a terrible name. [Whether or not that's what you were referring to doesn't seem to matter.]

Re: [video] amygdalated October 3 2011, 02:04:35 UTC

Doesn't make sense to have alien spacecraft named after human myth. It's obsolete, just stories from earth-that-was.

Re: [video] allfatherissues October 3 2011, 02:10:48 UTC

[He tilts his head just slightly, looking down at the feed with a raised brow. Hearing this did not surprise him, but it was always rather amusing. It still is, even out here in the far reaches of space.]

Are they? If that is the case, they are stories that resonate. Why else use such a name? Though I'll admit there's little accounting for taste.

What's wrong with the name 'Thor'?

allfatherissues October 3 2011, 02:12:47 UTC

Nothing, save for reeking of arrogance and thick-headedness. [Wow, he managed to utter those words without terribly too much poison.]

[His lips quirk a little, even.] That, and the ship is shaped like a turtle.

withoutnobody October 3 2011, 02:13:53 UTC

Well, yeah, most of the aliens around here more or less act like that...

...I never got the turtle thing, though.

allfatherissues October 3 2011, 02:19:22 UTC

Is that so? Then I take it back; perhaps it's a fitting name. Nonetheless, is there a reason for their arrogance?

[He seems amused at the whole turtle thing, like it's some kind of private joke that only he would get.] It doesn't necessarily invoke the imagery of great and terrible thunder.

Unfortunately it's not a prank.

You're familiar with the world tree?

Re: [Video] allfatherissues October 3 2011, 02:20:54 UTC

No? It has all the trappings of one.

I am. Or rather I thought I was - I wasn't under the impression it was so easily destroyed.

Re: [Video] deansangel918 October 3 2011, 02:24:28 UTC

[He's frowning at that possibility.]

I doubt Heaven could have been destroyed either. But whatever might have happened, it is out of my reach for the moment. I imagine it will be the same for you.

Re: [Video] allfatherissues October 3 2011, 02:32:27 UTC

[Heaven. He can't help but question this man now.]

Now you have me curious, being so quick to draw parallels between us both. You are...?

No. As much as I wish it were, this is definitely not an elaborate prank.

Re: Video allfatherissues October 3 2011, 02:33:34 UTC

And how can you be so certain? The best of pranks are often ones that no one notices until it's far too late.

Re: Video willsassyou October 3 2011, 03:27:20 UTC

Because here we are, still stuck here doing the worst jobs anyone can imagine while tolerating the Vogons and everyone else on the ship.

But, if it is really a prank, then whoever pulled it got all of us really good and deserves an award.

Re: Video allfatherissues October 3 2011, 03:33:39 UTC

I agree. I am almost green with envy. [Except he isn't; he's both amused and inconvenienced and lost.]

I've heard of these jobs; are they so terrible?
