[This filmed by someone else, as Sif sits at a table in a bar in the seedier part of the City, surrounded by a crowd of people chanting. Before her, sits and angry looking, muscled man. Claw, Claw, Claw, chants the crowd; cheers the crowd. Non-pulsed, Sif raises her arm and sets her elbow on the table. The burly man does the same. They lock hands.

Claw, Claw, Claw.

Sif remains unimpressed. Someone whistles. The Claw's face grows redder by the minute. Sif yawns.

Someone brings her a large pint of beer. She smiles at the NPC, takes her glass, drinks it; her arm never budging. And then, as she sets the glass down gingerly, she slams the Claw's hand to the table's surface, the crowd silenced. With a smug grin, she holds her free hand out; the Claw pays up. Sif stands.]

Men. Ladies. Our friend Claw has lost with honour, and in his honour, we shall drink. Ale for everyone!

[The silence is broken by cheers. Sif, Sif, Sif, is the new song. Smiling, Sif walks over to whomever is holding her device. Unfortunately, her face is out of sight, expression unreadable, when she takes the recording device back. Her tone, however, is strangely soft. Subdued.] That will be enough of that.

[ooc; Maybe all those drunk texts made Sif miss drinking; or maybe now that she's the only Aesir left, she felt the need to drown her confused feelings in beer and feasting. FEEL FREE to have your character be present in the bar, FEEL FREE to action thread this as you wish. Just keep in mind she's the Asgard version of a wild party animal, apparently...]

Remind me never to do that.

[ Maybe next year when he's part metal. He might give it a go. ]

[asofwar]

Challenge a lady to a fight?

[yourbestguysgun]

I'm a sensible guy, I know never to challenge a dame.

[asofwar]

Very wise, James.

[yourbestguysgun]

I'm never gonna get you to call me Bucky, am I?

[asofwar]

Is that what you would prefer?

[yourbestguysgun]

Nobody calls me James. So yeah.

[asofwar]

Bucky, then.

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah, you got it. So what brought on the whole arm wrestling thing?

[hexuality]

I'd ask you to teach me how to do that, but I reckon it isn't something you can be taught.

voice;

[asofwar]

It has much to do with strength.

voice;

[hexuality]

Quite sure I'm a head shorter than you, too. Probably wouldn't work out.

voice;

[asofwar]

That is not to say it could not be done.

voice;

[hexuality]

[She laughs.]

I'm a better dueler than I am arm wrestler. My brothers might've taught me a few things, though.

voice;

[asofwar]

Perseverence and training are necessary, but there is nothing to say a woman cannot wrestle a man down to the ground.

voice;

[hexuality]

Could wrestle my brothers. [She sounds amused more than anything.] You doing alright?

voice;

[asofwar]

That is the way to start. First, your brothers, next the world.

Why do you ask?

[rideofthefearlings]

The yawn was a delightful touch.

[asofwar]

Oh, thank you.

Re: audio only;

[rideofthefearlings]

If I might make an observation however, you seem somewhat less joyous than those around you.

[asofwar]

[Like hell is she going to be that transparent.]

The feasts are not what I am used to.

Re: audio only;

[rideofthefearlings]

[ He'd be disappointed if she was. ]

Alas, the indignities we face. Should I count that as a mainstay for time spent here?

[asofwar]

You may do what you please with it.

Re: audio only;

The Lady is very gracious.

[asofwar]

She does have her moments.
