WHO: Lagertha and OTA
WHAT: Lagertha's arrival
WHEN: Thursday afternoon
WHERE: The beach
WARNINGS: None yet, will update if necessary
STATUS: Open, Complete

The first thing she noticed was the hot sun, hotter than she had ever experienced before. She was wearing the leather pants and shirt that she wore in battle. She was sweating and they were clinging to her uncomfortably. She noticed a silver bracelet on her wrist that hadn't been there before. It was much smoother and finer than the work of the smiths in Kattegat. Perhaps it was the work of the gods.

As she opened her eyes and sat up, the second thing she noticed was the beauty of the surroundings. She was sitting on a white sandy beach, and above her were lushly forested hills. The trees and plants appeared different than those she was used to in Scandinavia, or even in England or Frankia, but the land appeared very fertile. She breathed deeply and the air was sweet with flowers.

This must be the new land that the goddess Arva had told her about. She had doubted the lady's word, since Arva was not one of the gods of her people, but now it seemed that she had been telling the truth. Lagertha hoped that the rest of her promises, especially the one about having children, were true as well. It seemed she must truly be a great goddess indeed, though a foreign one, to have brought Lagertha here.

Lagertha stood up and walked to the surf. Her first order of business would be to wash off the sweat and cool off. When she had finished that she started walking down the beach. She would need to find fresh water soon. The heat was making her thirsty. Supposedly the goddess was bringing other people here, so she would need to find them as well.

Isaac didn't know how things would go with Octavia on Saturday. There had been a lot of guys who volunteered to father her baby, and Isaac couldn't see much reason why she'd pick him, of all people. But he'd at least tried, which was better than he'd done in the first few weeks since he'd arrived, so he'd take it.

Now, he was heading down to the beach to go for a swim. He knew that the salt would make him itch, and he'd have to go take a bath in the pool to get it off, when he could just swim in the pool and not have to worry about it...but he liked the waves, and there was just something about the ocean that he liked. So he was dressed only in shorts, carrying a towel and ready to have some fun.

That was when he saw the woman who had just arrived. She was hot, in a milf sort of way, but then, pretty much everyone here was hot in one way or another.

"Uh, hey," he said.

Lagertha saw the young man approaching so she walked out of water back up onto the beach. She was cooler now but her clothes were sticking to her uncomfortably. She thought he must be one of the other servants of the goddess Arva, but you couldn't be too sure when meeting a stranger so she kept one hand on the handle of her knife (which she had not yet discovered was dull).

He spoke words she didn't understand, although his tone seemed to be a greeting. "Hello," she said in her own language. "Is this the land of Arva?"

	Isaac was relieved that he was able to get that point across, and took the bracelet quickly. It took him a little while to figure out exactly which function made it work, but he finally did, speaking into it in French and hearing it back in English. How weird. He handed it back to her, then. "Here, put it back on. That should fix things." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No," he said, "We don't have a ruler. We all work together." Following her gaze to the community center he shrugged. "That's the Community Center. It's a place for us to gather, get supplies, eat together. You know, all of that. It's for all of us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ah, so it is like a hall, but there is no lord, it belongs to everybody." It was a strange idea, but not an unpleasant one. And it seemed that despite the lack of a leader, plenty of things were still getting done. "I thank you for you help with the bracelet and for guiding me here, Isaac."
