[Because texting is for losers with time, that's why.] I take it there is a pattern to theses curses? I would have believed the City was trying to increase the number of animals in its preposterous cages, were they not the kind to disappear so soon after midnight.

Can someone offer some insight? [If there's anything else she wants to say, it gets interrupted by a raven perching itself on her shoulder. Its beak open, and out comes Sif's voice:]

My hunting skills could keep us fed for a lifetime.

[Her expression thunderous, she swats the bird away.] Off with you.

[ooc; She still stands by it. :| You're missing out on a catch, City.]

I assumed they were scientific observations.

I have been found to do the same. But that was not - the bird. That was disconcerting.

[hulkbusted]

Let's go with that, it was all for science.

The bird would be disconcerting. Did you say that where it could hear you?

Video

[asofwar]

I had said that months ago. I was cursed and attempting to court the whole City.

Video

[hulkbusted]

[Please excuse the snicker.]

No half measures, huh?

video

[asofwar]

I do not do things in halves, Bruce.

video

[hulkbusted]

I can safely say that I never thought you did.

video

[asofwar]

It pleases me to hear that.

video

[hulkbusted]

They tell me that I'm a genius. [Gosh, he almost sounds humble about that; he's not.] That means that I don't make stupid mistakes about the obvious things like whether Sif ever does things halfway.

video

[asofwar]

And I did call your skills of observation sharp.

video

[hulkbusted]

They could be sidetracked by imagining what you would do once you won the whole city's love.

video

[asofwar]

I have never given that much consideration. It did not seem to work well, despite the curse. Perhaps most people are unaware they are being courted.

video

[hulkbusted]

Yeah, I hear I'm pretty bad at picking up on those signs. I can't be the only one.

video

[asofwar]

I fear my methods are not the expected, demure kind.

video

[hulkbusted]

Uh... an Aesir shieldmaiden isn't demure or expected? Will you be insulted if I'm not surprised. I mean you already told me that you had to work even harder for your place.

video

[asofwar]

It does not insult me. You listened.

video

[hulkbusted]

I do listen. I pay attention to what people tell me and to what they don't tell me. You are particularly interesting.

video

[asofwar]

Am I now?

video

[hulkbusted]

I've met thousands of humans and only a few Aesir, of course you are.

video

[asofwar]

I see.

video

[hulkbusted]

Maybe. We humans are curious monkeys.

video

[asofwar]

Among many other qualities.

video

[hulkbusted]

Which ones did you have in mind?

video

[asofwar]

Creative.

video

[hulkbusted]

Sometimes to our detriment. We keep getting these great ideas and we don't realize that they're bad ideas when other humans get their hands on them.

A fall is often necessary in order to get up. Some would say there is no progress without mistakes. It applies to everything.
