From the Docks to the Isle of IKEA, Wednesday Afternoon

Feb 08, 2012 06:22

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 ( Read more... )

where: the docks, where: not a bodega not a mall

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!

"Several," he replied. "The mistress of Hel is our daughter."

Which was kind of awkward.

Um. Yeah, that was ... different.

"Yours and...?"

She wasn't quite following the use of 'our', there.

"I am unsure," he replied, giving that serious thought. "My elder self would know."

Or Thor. Possibly any book of mythology.

Stacey was completely in favor of this trip. Let's get some stuff on Anna's side of the room already.

Then there was the big about waiting for a boat to take you to an island of a furniture store. That part was definitely new, but Stacey just told herself to think of it as the ferry.

Anna was really excited! And nervous. What if the boat got here and then she really couldn't go?

Kenzi was grinning at Anna's excitement. "So, first thing you're going to buy?"

Re: Vikings and Boats and Some Plans for a Furniture Store dressedinblood February 9 2012, 00:18:08 UTC

"Some sheets," Anna said immediately. "And a pillow. I want to start with the basics." Which was a good policy when you had literally nothing to your name.

"Always good," Kenzi approved. "Get a desk lamp or something too. Easier to play video games by."

What, you thought she'd say study?

Re: Vikings and Boats and Some Plans for a Furniture Store dressedinblood February 9 2012, 05:26:16 UTC

"I don't know how to play video games," Anna said. "And I don't have any, anyway. Still, I could read."

Re: Vikings and Boats and Some Plans for a Furniture Store regretiz4suckas February 9 2012, 05:38:28 UTC

Kenzi blinked, trying to process that, and said, "... or, that, yeah. Um. You've never played them? Were your parents Amish?"

Re: Vikings and Boats and Some Plans for a Furniture Store dressedinblood February 9 2012, 05:52:59 UTC

"No, but it's like I said," Anna told her. "My mother was very traditional." It seemed like the best possible excuse.

Re: Vikings and Boats and Some Plans for a Furniture Store regretiz4suckas February 9 2012, 06:09:50 UTC

"Okaaay." Well. It wasn't like there were Amish people in Canada. Still. Traditional Finnish? Apparently very boring. "That's on the list for next month."

Swedes! Nice.
