Day 461 ( June 9/10 )

When the Travellers wake up, they will find a message sent to every bracelet in the city:

As per the agreement between the gods and their Travellers, all persons within Asgard are humbly requested at the castle courtyard for enlistment in the Holy City's war efforts. Every individual is invited to find their resolve and seek out their purpose; this is the final stand in Ragnarok, and your help is needed now more than ever.

Enlistment is mandatory! Please see your local officials for more information.

A friendly if not a touch formal invitation to what will essentially be Asgard's job fair! A mandatory job fair. This is why we can't have nice things.

The castle courtyard and the streets leading into it will be crowded with bustling natives and several booths, not uncommon in appearance to the many festivals they've had over the last two years. This time, however, there is no music or celebration to be had. Everyone is hard at work organising their efforts for the war and doing their level best to assist in the transition.

Day 462 ( June 11/12 )

The fair will continue for two days, to give everyone time to get down there and make their decisions. Anyone that hasn't signed up by the end of this day will be visited at home by a city rep and a few guards that will politely ask them to register for a group and weaponry if they plan to carry it. Refusal will land them in jail for the day, where they will still be politely asked to please, seriously, just pick something. Anything. Uncle Odin wants you.

At the end of the fair, there will be food and drinks to thank the Travellers for their support and cooperation. Throughout the entirety of the event and for the rest of their stay, the natives will be more reverent and grateful than ever than the Travellers have chosen to stay and fight at their side. They will do anything they can to help them win this war; this evening will be one of camaraderie and appreciation for the past, present, and future sacrifices to save the World Tree.

"This is probably the nicest way anybody's ever been drafted into anything."

Ellie stood behind Riley at the military counter, hands in her pockets. It was going to be a long, long day, and she was already feeling kind of pissed off about everything.

Martial law.

"Starting to feel like home, sweet home."

[everysecond]

Riley stared at the counter a bit longer then actually walked away from it. Again. This was the third time she'd done this already. Sure she had to pick one but fuck if she had to pick right this second.

"They can learn to not be like home. I'm not big on going anything called the military. They can kiss my ass."

Riley wasn't big on keeping her thoughts to herself.

[tonsofpun]

Riley had watched Ellie put her name down earlier. She'd held her breath, bit her lip and did it, and neither of them said a word about it.

Ellie didn't expect Riley to permanently hold her tongue (and didn't expect Joel to be okay with it when he found out) but she wasn't going to say shit about making that decision for anybody else.

"What do you want to do instead?"

[everysecond]

"No fucking clue. But hey, I'll figure it out."

Riley gave Ellie a nudge and a smile. Didn't she always figure it out? She had a great handle on her life and always had. Most would just think she was a brat for that, of course.

[tonsofpun]

"I'll keep my eyes open, ex-Firefly Girl."

Ellie nudged her back. As long as they'd known each other, Ellie had known what Riley was, and what she wasn't. It may seem hopeless at the moment, but Riley had never been one to do what she was told.

"Who knows, maybe the gods need somebody who can steal waterguns out of one of the most highly guarded offices in the QZ without her ass getting caught."

[everysecond]

"Hey, those waterguns could carry some kind of potion in them that could defeat the bad guys, you know. So I'd be totally awesome."

She lifted her head up like she knew something Ellie didn't. Really, she didn't but it was an attitude she happened to excel at when she wanted to be a cocky brat.

"Just saying."

[tonsofpun]

"Oh, fucking lame. Like there's any alien race out there who can be defeated by water."

Someone's never seen horror movies from the 2000's.

[everysecond]

"What? And you're an expert on aliens now?"

Riley shoved her playfully with a laugh. Not that she knew anything about aliens either but she did have one hell of an imagination.

[tonsofpun]

"Is that a real job? Because I totally want that to be my side job- hey!"

Laughing, Ellie shoved her back. Riley was bigger than her, though, so she wasn't able to get the same kind of impact.

[everysecond]

Riley just swayed rather than actually stumbling, not really moved by the action.

"Is that the best you got?"

[tonsofpun]

Before Riley could finish talking or straightening up, Ellie followed it with a hip-check, hard.

[everysecond]

She stumbled a bit but with a laugh. Ellie was such a little shit. She'd taught her well.

"Not bad! I moved that time!"

[tonsofpun]

Ellie laughed too and pre-emptively moved out of Riley's way, jumped now that she'd gotten the upper hand.

Riley had taught her well.

"Getting better."

[everysecond]

Riley watched Ellie move out of the way then gave her a really huge grin.

"So, you think you can get away?"

[tonsofpun]

"From you?" Ellie scoffed.

And then she broke into a run, heading for an area with fewer people to potentially bowl over. It was kind of futile. Riley was faster than her, with longer legs and better endurance, but they could keep up the game for a while with the tiny head start.

[everysecond]

But Riley didn't move. Nope. Instead, she used her powers to grab a cup of some drink and launched it at Ellie to drench her with it. Seriously, her powers were the coolest things ever.

And meant she could throw things at her girlfriend then beat it like a bat out of hell.

[tonsofpun]

The first paper cup of water hit her in the back of the head, drenching her ponytail and the back of her shirt. Ellie let out a high scream of surprise that quickly became laughter as she came to a stop to try to shake out her hair, jumping on the spot to get the ice cubes out of her shirt.

"You dick!"

[everysecond]

Laughing her ass off, she didn't even look back to see what Ellie looked like. The scream was amazing and her calling her a dick on top of that? Fucking priceless.

And it meant she had to beat it out of there before Ellie tried to pay her back. "HAHAHA! VICTORY!"

[tonsofpun]

Ellie seized an ice cube before it slithered away from her, broke into a run after Riley. The second they found a convenient little corner, the ground exploded with ivy vines, boxing her in long enough for Ellie to pounce on her, try her damnedest to shove the ice cube down her shirt.

"Payback's a biiitch-"

[everysecond]

"Fuuuuuuuuck!"

She'd been trying to climb the vines but found ice down her shirt instead. That was fucking cold! Fuck! Riley squirmed and did a weird dance to try and get it out of her shirt.

"Bitch!"

[tonsofpun]

Ellie doubled over with laughter, her hands on her knees, leaving herself wide open. She cracked up until she had tears in her eyes and started to wheeze.

[everysecond]

Riley wrapped an arm around her to headlock her. It was just an ice cube but now that meant it was time to drench her again.

"Come on, bitch. Time to soak you some more."

[tonsofpun]

Ellie gave a breathless little cry of protest and started pushing at her, but Riley could (wo)manhandle her all day.

She let her. Really.

"No fucking way! I paid you back, fair's fair, get the hell off me-"

[everysecond]

"No way. I am the champion!"

And Riley got herself some more water and dumped it all over her head.

"So ha!"

[tonsofpun]

Ellie shrieked again, flapping her arms and trying to shove her away.

"I'm so going to fuck you up!"
