Check-In Day: A Carnival of WTFery

[st_alksthroughwalls]

Burning up whenever she'd 'lived' too long was hella inconvenient.

Terrifying the first few times, too, but once she got used to that, it wasn't that different from becoming insubstantial. But being reborn from ashes? That full on sucked. Not because it hurt particularly. It wasn't exactly comfortable, but neither were the pointe shoes and the headdress she'd taken from the box to go with the Firebird costume she'd been working on for the last few months.

No, the part of being reborn from ashes that sucked was the mouth, eyes, ears, nose and other mucus membranes coated in ashes that came with it. Gross trumped uncomfortable and inconvenient any day. And the worst part was that if she tried to get herself totally cleaned up, she barely had enough time to do anything before she was ashes again.

Tending bar with bird claws was damn near impossible as it was. So by the time the newcomer arrived, she'd given up and taken to drifting lazily on the warm currents. She burned up less often that way.

So the residents were not wholly complacent with their imprisonment. At the least in captivity there would be solidarity.

"Your graciousness is noted, Father Samuel, and something I intend to reward at a future time." Valkyrie clinked bottles before taking another swig off of her own, leaning well back to do it. The bottle was empty when it came back down and she capped it off with a disarming smirk. This Father (of what? She still didn't know but he clearly felt it important enough to emphasize as a title) was reassuring in his genuine disdain for their predicament.

"My last question. Are there any other Asgardian folk here?"

The word 'Asgardian' stirred up an intense antagonism that Samuel could find no source for. Perhaps he was simply jealous of the brothers, although they got along no better than he and Dean. Whatever the unknown cause, it provided no reason for not answering the young woman.

"I will have my reward in heaven," he replied, a cynical edge to his dutiful response. "But you will find two Asgardians here. One tall and fair, called Thor. One dark and slight, called Loki. If you write a message in your journal for them, one or both will doubtless appear."

So the infamous brotherly pair were about. The man she'd sworn her fealty to and the man she'd...also technically sworn fealty to in a traditional sense. And at no point had either mentioned a Madonna Inn nor any especially strange confinement. It was possible they'd both be from her own future but there was nothing for it until she found them.

Valkyrie's tense, bare shoulders relaxed the slightest amount. She gave Sam a quick pat to his cheek. "Wait if you must. I can grab us another bottle."
