Good day, I am Balder Odinson, brother to Thor and Loki and former King of Asgard.

I have been here but a short time but already I have met those who are not warriors. It seems dangerous to walk these streets unable to defend oneself, so I would be happy to teach any comers the basics. I am a swordsman and can teach hand-to-hand and other forms and weaponry as well as defensive strategies.

For those who can already fight, I invite you to spar with me. I have been fighting the same enemy for too long, and that tends to dull one's abilities.

All right. What sort of fighter are you?

Yes, I'm the God of Light. I cannot say I am familiar with Heavy Metal, however.

I can go for range or close combat, I've got a battle axe and a guitar that can do a bunch of different shit depending on how I play it.

Heavy Metal is a pretty awesome genre of music. Sometimes bands would play songs about Ragnarok or killing orcs and demons, shit like that. Believe me, that summary of Heavy Metal doesn't do it justice. I just need to track down some good cassette tapes or CDs or whatever it is people use these days, and I can show you guys some of the good stuff.

Music as weaponry? That is quite interesting.

Ah. Like epic poetry? I have not heard much of what mortals speak of us. 'Tis a bit odd to see what stories they tell.

[Audio]

[asskickersunite]

Yeah. I can do stuff like call down bolts of lightning, summon vehicles, change the weather, or even melt people's freakin' faces off.

If I can track down some records, I'll be sure to give it a spin for you guys.

I don't believe I've heard of that sort of sorcery before, although I can't say it surprises me.

Thank you. We can always use more songs about killing orcs.

[asskickersunite]

I have to admit, I'm gonna feel a little awkward if an orc shows up. I mean shit, there are plenty of songs about killing dragons, and I've already met one here. He wasn't that bad of a guy, either.

I'll be happy to show off what I've got, though. I'd feel more comfortable if you guys know my limits if we get in a fight. Cover each other's weaknesses, you know?

Re: [Audio]

[dusk_and_dawn]

All life should be respected ... but we are warriors, and we fight, and we often fight orcs. I am sure they have their songs about killing us.

I shall be happy to oblige as well. I need to hone my instincts again.

[Audio]

[asskickersunite]

I guess you got a point.

Alright, I've got my axe and guitar to work with. What are you tossing in?

Re: [Audio]

[dusk_and_dawn]

At the moment I have but a single sword, but it should do. 'Twould be nice if I could find an axe to compliment it ...

[Audio]

[asskickersunite]

If I can get the right materials, I can probably make you one.

Re: [Audio]

[dusk_and_dawn]

Truly? I would appreciate it. I have come to prefer two-handed style as of late.

Something like this?

[Audio]

[asskickersunite]

Hey, finding shit for this stuff will help me open up a bit of business later on.

Re: [Audio]

[dusk_and_dawn]

Then allow me to be your first customer. I do have a bit of gold on me yet.

[Audio]

[asskickersunite]

Don't worry about it dude. First one's free, but once I get shit up and running, I might ask for a little compensation.

Or something a bit more rare, if it can even be found here.

Re: [Audio]

[dusk_and_dawn]

As you wish. It will be good to properly equipped again.
