Norse Life, Tuesday, Period 2

Today, upon entering the Danger Shop, the students would find themselves back on the same stretch of beach as last week, this time with a boat.

"Today, I thought we could go sailing!" Thor greeted his students. "Behold the longship, used by the Vikings for many an exploit!" He began to expound on the ship's many fine qualities, such as its light weight and design, which made it possible to reverse direction without turning the ship around, before handwavily explaining the basics of how to row and maneuver such a ship. "Now, quickly, all aboard and we shall set out upon the sea! Fear not that you shall have to row overmuch; we are guaranteed a fine wind for our sail." By programming, not his powers. That was why they were doing this here instead of on the real beach with a real boat (well, that and the reduced risk of anyone drowning): nothing could get away from him and turn into a summer storm.

Why would Liliana be worried about a sea monster when Thor was talking about the possibility of having to row?

Steve had brought his shield with him today (just in case) and was now trying to figure out how best to stow it in the ship.

"Darling, don't look now, but I can see your chin," Liliana whispered to Steve with a small smile.

While absolutely not rowing, yes.

Steve smiled back. "It was time for a change. Do you like it?"

"You are a ridiculously attractive man either way," Liliana told him. "Honestly, it's more telling that I thought the beard was a good look. I'm generally a fan of the clean-shaven look; yours is one of the few beards I approved of."

Which, surely, was a great relief to Steve.

Steve's blushes were definitely more apparent without the beard. "Thank you. Does Tony's beard pass muster?"

Adorable. Absolutely adorable.

"Darling, we both know that Tony is perfect, beard included," she said.

The fact that she and Tony were pretty much the same person, just gender-and-genre swapped might have had something to do with that belief.

"Well, I'm definitely a fan," Steve said with another grin.

"... Well, it looks sturdy enough," Henry muttered, as he stepped aboard.

He did not have sea legs. Bohemia was incredibly landlocked.

Steph fully double fist-pumped before sticking both hands in the air.

"Yesssssssss oh my god I've always wanted to do this!"

She had like a dozen ship combat scenarios in some state of development but was exactly the kind of nerd to want to make them as realistic as possible without sacrificing the various game mechanics, okay?

But did Thor remember to program out the zombies? Because Liliana Vess did not row. She had zombie servants for that. She was rowed.

Belle had never rowed a boat before. This could be interesting. Or disastrous. Maybe even both.

Had Charlie learned a bunch of Viking songs for today?

Charlie had indeed learned a bunch of Viking songs for today and had her guitar along to accompany her.
