The Whims and Machinations of Babes
Zoey had a plan. It was a good plan. No. It was a great plan. No. It wasn't just a plan. It was THE Plan. The plan of all plans. She just had to find a way to get it done.

The idea came when she saw her...Mom called them housemates...but they were really her friends.... Very tall and very strong friends. She was the only girl in her class who had a friend who could lift a boulder and throw it very far. Zoey had watched Svalin and Halbjorn do it. It was awesome!

She couldn't wait to go back to school to tell her classmates about her newest friends. None of them had friends like she did. Maybe Asleif would go to school with her one day and show Zoey's classmates real magic. Not the stupid kind that Jessica had at her birthday party. Zoey had totally seen the man hiding things in his hands and sleeves. The man was lame compared to Asleif.

The fireworks on the Fourth of July were just awesome. Totally awesome. She was glad she had the idea to ask Asleif to make fireworks.

Idea. The idea for today and for The Plan came to her while she watched Svalin practicing with a sword. A REAL sword and not some lame fake one. Svalin had one, so did Aridis and Halbjorn. Asleif didn't seem to like them for some reason. Zoey thought they were really cool and Mom had said she was not allowed to touch them. Ever. She wondered what Mom had against swords. Svalin said that she had a sword when she was Zoey's age. She wanted one too.

Right. The idea. Mom had taken her out to dinner to a place with swords and horses once. Middle Times or something like that. Zoey knew it would be a great place to take her new friends. They would love it. They had to.

She ran and asked Mom if they could go. Mom said yes, but Zoey had to ask the others if they wanted to go. Mom went on about how she couldn't talk or speak for others. Zoey only heard the first part of it.

She skipped around the grounds looking for Asleif or any of the others.

	Again with the touching. Why did the small mortal insist upon touching her...? "I art reminded of the great tournaments and feasts of Asgard," Aslief said. "Perhaps this shalt prove entertaining after all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin was quite amused at the young child's insistence at being near and touching Asleif. Her sister had always been one to remain aloof and distant. Perhaps this young mortal could help change that. "Aye, 'tis a most wonderful place. Though the fighting skills leave much to be desired. The worst warrior in Asgard could beat all of these mortals in combat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really?" He had been impressed with them actually. He looks a little like he got kicked. "I was impressed. Then again I can't even fight. I just invent things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"This kind of fighting stopped a few centuries ago and it's for entertainment. Blood and dinner don't mix very well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hmm," Asleif mused. "I wouldst tend to disagree." Her free hand, meanwhile, was tracing the beginnings of a simple spell, one which would replace the weapons with truer versions of themselves. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The knights that were fighting paused in confusion. Their armor and weapons were suddenly real and there was no explanation for it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2009-07-14 07:41 am UTC (link)
	Ohu frowns, looking at the knights. "What are they fighting about, though?" he asks. "Which side fights for good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Does it matter?" Marlow asked. The stadium seating let everyone see everything, and so far it wasn't all that interesting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2009-07-14 05:58 pm UTC (link)
	Ohu stares at her, shocked. "Does it matter? The story is everything that matters!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Friend Ohu, it looks as if the Red Knight stole the Blue Knight's lady," Aridis points out, watching the flirty woman in blue giggling over the Red knight. That was barely interesting though. They should fight a dragon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Seeing a lady being helpless really irked Svalin. Enough that she jumped out of her seat. She ran down the stairs and jumped the wall and into the arena. One thing was missing. She needed a weapon so she grabbed the nearest knight and took his sword. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2009-07-15 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	Ohu watches, intrigued by Svalin's actions. "This is drama now!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2009-07-16 04:56 am UTC (link)
	"Well now," Asleif smirked. "Now this becomes interesting..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-07-16 04:57 am UTC (link)
	"What is Svalin doing?" Zoey asked Asleif now confused. This isn't how it was supposed to go. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2009-07-16 04:59 am UTC (link)
	"Oh this can't be good," Syd said as she pulled out her cell phone. This could only get worse and there was no way Syd or Griffen would be able to stop it. Perhaps Mr. Williams could do something about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mine sister thinks to fight for the ladies' honor since they have not the backbone to do it themselves," Aridis says. Then jumps up and over to join Svalin. She snagged a mace from a man's belt as she rushed to join her sister. "Hail sister! I shall aide thee!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2009-07-16 05:43 am UTC (link)
	"Worry not, small mortal," Asleif told Zoey. "Mine siblings art but making the show more entertaining." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2009-07-16 09:56 am UTC (link)
	Marlow watched it all and could only think they were going to be asked to leave before they finished dinner. "Your idea is making them very happy," she said to Zoey by way of encouragement. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2009-07-16 10:09 am UTC (link)
	Svalin went after the Red Knight to free the capture lady. Her sword was drawn and she charged. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ohu smiles. This is great fun. But it's time to upgrade the scene. He gestures to their surroundings, and the castle walls melt away, revealing a beautiful field, with verdant woods in the distance. Prancing nearby are pegasi and unicorns at play. That last part was there just for Zoey. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"But what are knights," Asleif said, then considered her siblings, "and... adventurers, without beasts to slay?"

First, however, she placed a magical shield around her mortal companions, then one around the stands themselves. No need to senselessly get the mortals killed.

It was not a true dragon that appeared, it had no wings to speak up, but a lizard of such proportions was still rather dangerous indeed. Especially since it looked like it had just woken up from a nap.

	Ohu glances at these changes,grinning, and looks down at Zoey. "They need help! Shall I give you a mount and a weapon to drive off the dragon? Someone should save the unicorns..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	team_mascot 2009-07-17 05:23 am UTC (link)
	Zoey was thrilled at the sight of the forest and unicorns and pegasi, but when the dragon appeared she got scared. She did the only thing a five year old would do. She climbed into Asleif's lap and wrapped her arms around her in a very tight hug. She buried her face in Asleif's neck. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Blue Knight upon seeing the attack on his companion charged toward the second woman who had entered the arena. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2009-07-17 06:03 am UTC (link)
	Again with the touching! And the clinging! This... this was simply unacceptable! But with Zoey wrapped around her, her arms were quite pinned. "Small mortal, I hath need of mine arms..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
