welcome to steina lysa.

Who: ANYONE; Skadi may or may not appear if asked to (and even if not!)
What: Any interactions that take place in Skadi's temple.
When: ANYTIME; the temple does not lock or close in any way, and this log is permanently open.
Where: Steina Lysa, in Skadi's district.
Rating: Please take anything adult rated to a private log; everything else is welcome.

This is a permanent open log for anything that takes place in Skadi's temple. Using this log is completely optional and you are welcome to use the log community instead. This is just one easy way to get an NPC handler's eyes on something you may want Skadi to be aware of, whether the goddess actually makes an appearance in your thread or not. You are welcome to play out threads with other characters as well, or even just leave your own comment of something your character is doing alone in the temple. This is a completely open action log for literally anything.

If your character wishes to make contact with Skadi, you can simply leave a comment here with an OOC note or plot it out ahead of time! How your character attempts to gain her attention is their choice, just as it is her choice whether or not to respond. Comments on this post are valid for AC.

❰ she isn't necessarily mindful on his behalf, don't give her too much credit. it's more that she doesn't like the rough-edged asynchrony of a mind that doesn't want her inside it.

the question gets a vague hand-wave toward the chairs. ❱ Sit. ❰ she's discovered it best to allow the mortals to sit through this process after one of them lost their footing. it was thoroughly unnecessary - the process is hardly noticeable, it's not as if your vision goes black or your head dizzies for any reason beyond the anxiety you might fabricate for yourself. ❱

[ He's trying really hard not to think of Ego, let him lie a bit to himself Skadi about how much the gods here actually care. And sitting he does, like a good boy.

The general anxiety Peter feels towards Gods might benefit from him not standing up. He most likely won't faint but he could fidget and start walking around the room, which would sure annoy Skadi. ]

Does it matter which song I start thinking about? Do you find slow ones easier to retrieve?

❰ oh, it would certainly annoy skadi. she has precisely zero intention of following him as he paces about, so he'd likely get half a song at best before he marches out of range (not out of range of her capability, mind you, but of her patience) and she's declared it a loss for the day. ❱

Whichever you most urgently wish to retrieve. ❰ a beat, and the slightest lift of one shoulder in a vague little shrug. ❱ Or perhaps whichever comes most easily. ❰ is there a song stuck in your head, peter? ❱

[ Let's avoid that happening then. ]

Oh, in that case...

[ Some songs come easier to him than others, either because he has heard them more times - He only had available the 12 songs from the Vol1. cassette for 30 years- or because he associates them with special moments. Hurtful ones too, like Ego and the song Brandie, but Peter's mind is in a different memory now.

There's a song he associates with his family and especially with Gamora. A song he first listened to when they become a team. And so, Peter closes his eyes and starts humming 'I no mountain high enough'. The lyrics and rhythm come to his mind easily but so does Gamora's voice asking him where to go from there, and that might interfere. ]

❰ it very well tries to interfere, and listening to that song at a later time might offer a buzz of something like barely-there static underneath the music itself when gamora spoke, but peter did say skadi could interfere as well and her interference is stronger even than the force of peter's affectionate recollection. sorry, gamora. you've been kicked out of this song, or at least this reproduction of it.

they make their way through the song, all two and a half minutes of it. then there's a pause, one in which skadi lets out a slow, pleased sort of sigh.

then, without warning, she lifts her hands a bit to the sides and the chorus of the song rings out in the room. the sound quality is spectacular, like nothing peter has ever heard before, even with no clear point from which the sound originates. after the chorus, the next few words fade out to silence again. ❱

Another, ❰ skadi decides. demands, almost. he wasn't wrong about this music that day in the park - there's something incredibly compelling about it. ❱

[ It's probably for the better that she fixed the song, even if her interference almost startles him. It feels strange, not bad, so Peter tries to focus on properly from now on. She raises her hands and that time he does jump a little on his seat, only to smile as if Christmas came early when the song starts playing. ]

Woah! That's great!!!

[ Peter stops himself from clapping but it's a very close occurrence. You're amazing, Skadi. Scary still, more so with that commanding tone, but he's too happy to do anything else but follow it. He knows she likes songs about strong feeling like sadness and fear so the next one Peter starts to think about (and sing) is Hurt, by Johnny Cash. Can't get a more raw feeling that this one. ]
