Havamal: The Counsel of Odin the One-Eyed verse 143

Poetic Edda-- Translated by Jackson Crawford

Odin carved for the gods,

and Dain for the elves,

Dvalin for the dwarves,

and Asvith for the giants;

I carved some myself.

Asvith: Roll With It

[ @plaguetrolls ]

You stop in front of the wooden wagon-hive-thing and scratch your head. If you’re honest, you’re a little bewildered -- you don’t think you need anything forged or welded or whatever, but here you are at a blacksmith’s shop, looking blank.  A donkey lusus nearby raises its head from the grass and gives you a curious look; you shrug helplessly at it.

All you really did was get into a conversation with this little midblood at the farmer’s market. You’re used to a little bit of adjustment when you talk to people who don’t live out in the middle of nowhere like you do, but this girl... talked a lot. And she talked fast. And before you knew it, you’d gone from discussing herbal remedies for orf to agreeing that yes, you do need to meet her friend who runs a travelling smithy and no, you’re not busy right now, and of course she can write down this friend’s name and coordinates for you.

You squint at the paper she gave you and knock on the door to the wagon. This should be the place, though who knows what you’ll say when the door opens. What had the midblood said? Something about both of you being from mountain regions, and being into animal husbandry, and so on. Maybe you can at least buy some fencing?

...If this troll ever opens the door, that is. You knock again. “Hello?” you call. “I’m looking for Vatrra Asilas?”

HEY THERE FOLKS I adopted a new troll from @plaguetrolls -- whose art you should totally buy if you aren’t broke like me, because it’s ADORABLE. She actually designed them a while ago as part of a design trade, but my part isn’t done yet >:p

This kiddo’s name is Asvith: they run a tiny, organic farm in a rather spooky area, and are consequentially always putting up with paranormal nonsense.

Their bio is here! And you should ask me some questions for or about them so I can procrastinate my homework work on their voice and character! ;0

⏳ ⏳ ⏳

For every “⏳” I receive, my muse will openly talk about a bit of their backstory.

ASVITH: I Try Not to chΔnge which fΔrmers mΔrket i go to that often cuz its just eΔsier on me if i know the folks im Selling To, Right? Δnd Finding The one ive got now wΔs kindΔ Δ huge triΔl cuz looking for somewhere thats close enough to be worth it while big enough thΔt ill ΔctuΔlly get some sΔles isnt exΔctly the eΔsiest Thing To Do. ASVITH: Honestly, I Just went there and ΔwkwΔrdly lurked Δ couple times until Someone Looked Friendly. I Δsked How i wΔs supposed to sign up Δnd they told me so i did thΔt Δnd stΔrted Going Every Perigee. It HΔs Been Δ pretty good wΔy to mΔke friends ΔctuΔlly becΔuse everyone kindΔ hΔs the sΔme vibe Δs I Do.

VIDELE: I started L-Learning how to make tapestries the first dark season that I L-Lived in my pL-Lains-hive! My garden pL-Lants aLL-LL died and it was very drab inside and my embroidery hoops were too smaLL-LL to reaLL-LLy, um, make much difference to the waLL-LLs? So I went on CrueL-LTube to L-Look for bigger embroidery things, and I found someone weaving a tapestry! It didn’t L-Look that much harder than embroidering, so I tried to set up a L-Loom and do it, onL-Ly -- eehee, it’s not so easy to do as it L-Looks! EspeciaLL-LLy when you start on a L-Loom made out of a curtain rod and warp strands L-Longer than you are taLL-LL! So I said, okay, I’LL-LL start smaLL-LLer, and I saw a video of someone making a L-LittL-Le hand L-Loom and tried that myseL-Lf. And then I just kept at it untiL-L I got good! =:-)

TAZ: --okay, l-ke, everyone says ‘taz, omg, how d-d you adjust to smuggl-ng when you hadn’t done anyth-ng l-ke that before??’ TAZ: --and that’s stup-d b\c l-ke lol -t’s not that b-g a dealTAZ: --you wanna know what a c t u a l l y caused me headaches when / was adjust-ng to -t?TAZ: --f-gur-ng out the coffee sh-tTAZ: --cappucc-no, latte, dark roast, arab-an,  blonde roast, morn-ng blend, d-fference b\w an espresso + turk-sh_style, there -s a s h - t t o n to learn, / do not even frontTAZ: --ofc umetto hadn’t bothered to learn a n y of -t, but / k-nd of don’t want our cover to be l-terally paper_th-n, so / just l-keTAZ: --locked myself -n the shop one afternoon w\ a laptop and all the equ-pment and suppl-es / could f-nd and spent three n-ghts learning th-s sh-tTAZ: --not that most people want anyth-ng more than ‘uhhh can / get an espresso’ anyway :p

♪ new kid

Eivør - Í Tokuni

[Faroese] In between the gapsIn the mist-clad nightI sense shadowsSeems as though something is moving thereI call out but no one answers me

The new kid lives out on a relatively secluded farmstead for most of the sweep, and things get… weird and liminal out there. A lot. It’s spooky stuff, but they’re used to it.

[mirkstrolls]

1, 2, and 5 for the new kid? +^+

One word…

1.  …that describes what/how they want to be: organic!

2. …that describes what/how they least want to be: [a] sellout!

5. …that describes their current life situation: busy!

[mirkstrolls]

At 13 sweeps, an indigo lady with an air of danger, a devious brain and a manipulative tongue. She's self centered, but a secret romantic. She prefers a stoic facade, but on the inside she's just tearing up with loneliness and anger. Will mostly date pitch. Pale is probably a really bad idea.

I’M– IS THIS LYRIAN?!

Okay, realistically, Taz might be interested in pitch! She likes smart people, she likes dangerous ladies, she hates highbloods in a way that’s… sometimes caliginous! Taz is bitterly lonely too, but I’m afraid that her pitch overtures would involve hardcore pushing our indigo lady to indulge in and express her anger, since that’s what Taz herself would do. And also secretly using her identity to snoop into Empire business and advance some of Taz’s own criminal endeavors. Probably not very healthy for either of them? YEESH.

Widsth would flirt (flushed-ways) for as long as he happened to be in the same room with her! And then he would get the heck out of dodge, because his little-used sense of self-preservation says a hard no to Older Indigo Ladies. 

Vide does not date highblood ladies, especially when they’re a lot older than her. That’s not to say she wouldn’t instinctively attempt to pacify her, or possibly get weirdly passive-aggressive, or both. Vide’s a mess. Someone call her auspistice. 

Asvith is closest in age, but would feel bad for her I think. They might be interested flushed or pale, though? I can’t quite settle on their preferences yet.
