Night blankets the villages south of the wall. While the pacifistic Gagarians are huddling around what may be the last bowls they'll ever smoke, the Hildnr are preparing to march and ride out in force come the dawn. Thankfully, you're far enough north that the nights are a hell of a lot longer than normal. Looks like you have about fourteen hours to kill.

You'll probably want to make a stop at the armory to get equipped, at some point, but there's also a fair amount of feasting happening where a bard is telling tales of the Hildnr's victorious history. The Blood Queen is in attendance, accepting oaths and blessing the warriors.

Of course, if what you'd rather do is train, the training yards are open, and there's a small barracks hall that's been outfittedwith clean furs and a roaring fire so you can rest before unleashing your bloodlust. Thoughtful!

Just don't forget: you still gotta find the blood champion, save the helpless stoner fratboys, and make it over that fuckhuge wall before lunchtime tomorrow.

[you and your zombie pocalypse paranoia]

I dunno, you tell me. Although I saw a couple of your friends leave earlier. Was that part of the plan?

[ they never share their plans. it's nothing alarming. ]

I was just asking. [ looks up at her ] Is there a plan? [ because usually there isn't. ]

Yeah, you know, the whole turn everyone into girls so we can save the princess together and then get a ride out of here plan.

[ what if the princess is a dog. what then. ]

[ reaches for something to drink. ]

[ arches eyebrows at "princess" but says nothing ]

I've seen more idle talk than actually planning [ grabs some bread ]

[

excuse me?]

Idle talk is what got you into the village?

[ leans back a little ]

I meant about the getting out of here, rather than getting in here.

Yeah, maybe you've seen idle talk because that's all you've been doing.

[way to make yourself look useless a+++++]

Meanwhile we've been busting our butts to figure out what happens next. So instead of just sitting around holding your chest maybe you could do something. Or even ask if there's anything you could do.

[ holds his hands up like he's raising a white flag ]

Hey, calm down, I'm not blaming you. I'm just saying how it usually goes. [ because so far all the plans he's seen have kind of flopped like a dead fish ]

[ ohhh she's really giving you the talk. ]

[ pauses eating. girl you have no idea what we've been through recently. ]

[maybe she'd know if you'd open your mouth]

I can see why that's how it usually goes if this is how you all deal with problems.

[sit around and complain about how other people's plans don't work? why don't you do something about it yourself then, huh guy? sits back with a hurumphy noise.]

[ it usually is how he deals, only instead of sitting he tends to run

glances at michonne and then back at her before just shrugging and going back to eating ]

This is going swell.

[ figured as much. ]

[ this guy is obviously no soldier. leave him alone. ]

[who's asking him to be]

Yeah, awkward city.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap. It's been a crazy couple days, and I'm still adjusting.

[ fuck you i bled from my ears to entrap the fogbabies :-!! ]

Don't worry, I'm just [ waves hand ] frustrated I guess. This whole thing was a good idea. I'm just worried about next.

[ all this apologizing is ruining her appetite. ]

We look for the champion.

Maybe that's why your friends left.

[she doesn't know their names yet so they're just gonna be their friends until someone clues her in]

[ yeah he meant after the champion michonne why don't you read his mind TO GUESS THAT ]

Which friends?

[ LMFAO we need sookie here. serious communication problems in this thread. ]

The angsty British detective. Constantine?

[that's what she said her name was, right? or him]

She skipped town with a bowlegged girl in plaid and her Arwen looking friend.

[ makes a frowny face but then realizes who is who, though yeah. he doesn't really know constantine beyond the pot smoking. ]

They'll eventually come back. As long as they're here when we apparently march on to war. [ fml ]

[ ditched the pot smokers she's not a babysitter

sits down next to them and keeps on working on the crossbow ]

What's this little reunion about?

I was wondering if you were coming to eat.

[smiles across at her]

I'm not hungry, actually. [ she came to see if there is whisky ]
