I love my baby to death

[halftheslain]

Freyja is shining. She is gold and glittering and so full of power that it almost hurts to look at her. She has had her sacrifice; she killed her dark-haired boy at dawn and the thrill of it has not yet left her. He loved her, he offered himself up, and she took all he had. And it has made her strong. On a normal day, Freyja can start wars,

We will presume Ada leaves Curiro's company and some point, and finds herself wandering. She finds she can't seem to stop coming near to where Richard is, though she can never bring herself to come close enough to see again. When she sees Freyja, though, and remembers that she seemed to have power of some sort (and had she any knowledge at all of such things, would likely realize she has even more now), she rushes towards her. "Oh, ma'am!"

[halftheslain]

Freyja turns to her, still smiling. "Yes, dear?"

[dearcousin]

"Did... do you know...?" She swallows. "Richard is--"

[halftheslain]

"He is with me."

[nordicsunshine]

"You're glowing," Freyr observes, watching her display of power with hunger and lust.

Typist: We should discuss... human sacrifice stuff, just so we'er both on the same page.

[halftheslain]

"I know." She smiles.

Typist: Sure.

[nordicsunshine]

"Any particular reason? And should I be jealous?"

Typist: Which sources are you using for human sacrifice? I never studied it very much, so I'm a little bit lost. What do you know and what should I know so that we're working from the same canon?

[halftheslain]

"I recieved a sacrifice." Her smile grows.

Typist: Whatever I could find on the subject. A few sources mentioned Freyr getting sacrifices of dark (haired I'm assuming) victims, and then a few more were just lists of supposed sacrificial places. Hanging was mentioned in regards to Freyja once or twice but I didn't want to go through that so instead I went with the strangle and stab method which has shown up in a lot of bog mummies of the period. I can't remember the exact sources since most of them came from a library in Williamsburg.

And Molly is drawn to the sound, though she doesn't quite know why. She hasn't discovered Richard's corpse yet; she is simply outside, taking the air and enjoying the day. Something about Freyja's presence, however, draws the young woman in her direction. But when she sees the goddess, she gasps and shields her eyes a bit, not expecting the radiance.

[halftheslain]

Freyja laughs again. "What is the matter?" She already knows, of course.

[youngandhealthy]

She dips into a curtsy as best she can manage in her condition, not daring to lift her eyes. "Y'are so very splendid, my lady... I do fear to look on ye fully." She doesn't know who Freyja is, but it's impossible to miss her power at the moment.

[halftheslain]

"Smart girl."

[lightningcurse]

Mabon laughs at her, freely and like leaves in trees, rushing with wind.

[halftheslain]

She smiles at him and it is slightly smug but how can she not be?

[lightningcurse]

He hasn't had a sacrifice in years, but that's all right; he has blood on his lips from a small animal he ate earlier. He bows to her.

[halftheslain]

"How are you, Mabon ap Modron?"

[ebonyjaenelle72]

Jaenelle is drawn by the crackle of power more than the laughter, and as she sees Freyja, her eyes darken to sapphire and Witch emerges in full force. Wary, she takes a few steps closer and watches Freyja with slightly narrowed eyes.

[halftheslain]

"What is the matter, girl? Why so wary?"

[ebonyjaenelle72]

She tilts her head and gives a little half smile. "It is normal to be wary of someone who can give off enough power that I can feel it through the shields in my workroom."

[halftheslain]

"You caught me at a good time."
