The Long Way Home
Ohu Amane means "Sees Danger" in Twi, the modern language of the Ashanti, and the name is quite appropriate. The eldest son of Anansi, Ohu was gifted with the ability to see danger. He used this power to help save his father from a giant river monster (with a little help from his siblings, he supposes). He knows when there's serious trouble.

But he's never had a chance to really explore the realms of mortals before. He's always been kept at home, in the realm of the Ashanti gods. Which was boring. His father being the keeper of all stories, Ohu has heard all the stories from the mortal realms, and he finds them fascinating. Of course, these days, there are more stories coming into his father's realm than ever before -- a person can't keep up! So Ohu finally convinced his father to let him come to the mortal realm*, accompanied by other gods, the children of Asgardians.

This should be a most exciting expedition! They've already shown up in Oklahoma, surrounded by wheat. If they can just find a cornfield, he's sure there will be evil there. There's always evil in cornfields in the stories.

But the field gives way to a road, and Ohu, the guide for his friend Asgardians, choses a way and begins walking it. They are heading for New York, and certainly all roads must lead to New York eventually.

The occasional car or truck passing by, Ohu leads them down the road, over two bridges, and into the city apparently named "Kingfisher." Around them, the populace gives the gods strange looks.

"You see, my friends? I have lead us to a place where we may acquire transportation to the glorious city of New York!"

*If, by "convinced his father," one means, "ran away without telling him."

"They art like butterflies, perhaps. Lovely in their own way yet with such short lives," Aridis points out a little sadly. She would hate to be fated to such a short life when there is so much to experience.

"I think our duty to look out for them is all that more important. To see them denied their full life spans saddens me greatly mine sisters and brother," Ardis finally says while watching people who are curiously watching them. The normal citizens are pretty much convinced some crazy unknown rock stars got away from their agents and are being very silly or something like that.

Ohu leans to Halbjorn. "If you like the jeans they wear," he whispers conspiratorially, "perhaps we will be lucky enough to meet the famed Sisterhood of Traveling Pants."

Okay, so he didn't get around to reading that story, but he remembers the title at least. He's sure it must be a great adventure.

"Ist this Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants a mighty group of shield maidens?" Svalin asked as she managed to over hear Ohu mention it to Halbjorn. "'Twoud be most pleasurable to meet fellow sisters in arms."

"Tis an odd name for a sisterhood of warriors. Methinks they must be a troupe of entertainers, being so devoted to yon tight garments."

Asleif would correct Ardis for presuming to speak for her (particularly where the inhabitants of Midgard are concerned), but further nonsense from her traveling companions distracts her.

"I doubt there are enough worthy warriors of Midgard to form such a band, sister."

"Of course there ist! The Avengers hath had many female warriors over the years. Did thou not listen to any of Father's stories? Perhaps they hath formed a new team."

Her stomach rumbled. It had been a long walk to the city.

"My stomach doth require food."

"Well let us find a pub then. I am sure they will take our coinage," Aridis says with a warm grin.

What? Did they think she would run around without her coin purse in case of something like this?

"Aye, for is far too warm for comfort here, and surely they hath fine ale or beer about. Who couldst long live in such a clime?"

The blood of Frost Giants ran in Asleif's blood, as it did her brother. She too, finds the climate rather distasteful, though she would never admit to agreeing with him.

"Regardless, we have traveled much already. A respite would not be out of the question."

Svalin had a greater concern than the heat at the moment. She turned to Tryggvi and spoke softly to him. He wandered over to the closest patch of grass (the park in the town center) and started grazing.

"Let us find the closest eating establishment and partake in Migard food."

"Here!" Ohu points. "This is a 'diner.' There are often adventures to be found in diners. Often criminals come to diners to rob them, until men with guns dining there stop them. This happened once to a man with 'bad motherfucker' written on his wallet, and it was a most-incredible story."

Halbjorn pauses, looking vaguely shocked. Then his fists ball up. "If this man showed up with his wallet or whate'er else admitting to such vile deeds, I wouldst hath to thrash him, surely."

"Aye," Aridis says calmly. "We would of course protect the mortals from such fiends. People should feel free to eat and drink in peace."

Asleif shrugs in a very noncommittal sort of way.

"I do so hate to be interrupted when I art dining."

Svalin, never one for many words, started walking toward the building Ohu had pointed at. She climbed the few stairs and opened the door.

The whole place went silent as she and her companions stepped inside.

Halbjorn glances around at the people, staring right back, then glancing at his companions to see if anything was unusual.
Then, in typical boisterous fashion, he calls, loudly, "Ist this not a place of food and drink? Mine siblings and I... and our new friend, require nourishment, for we hath made a long journey! Meat and bread and beer, quickly!"

Face, allow me to introduce thee to mine palm. Honestly, it seemed as though she could not go anywhere without her siblings in general and her brother in particular embarrassing her.

"...Methinks, brother dear, they are not as enthralled by your presence as we."

Ohu shoots a dazzling grin towards the lost-looking waitress.

"It's my fault," he tells the other gods. "Sorry. I have that affect on people." He moves towards the waitress. "I apologize for our... unconventional appearance and entrance," he tells her. "My nose tells me that, of all the places in this fair village, yours has the best food of all. Tell me, beautiful lady most fair, what is your establishment's specialty?"

She looks up at him, overwhelmed. "Um... we make some good burgers..."

"Burgers! Five burgers then, for most hungry travelers, and the best drink you have available!" Then he leans in, closer to the waitress, to whisper, "And, perhaps, when you might be available to discuss your beauty further..."

Aridis snorts and giggle. "May we have a sixth? My hound doth need food as well. He seems most hungry, my lady."

Her hound announces his hunger by whining a little and licking his jowl. He's hungry too. Feed the belly! Can't you see they haven't fed him in weeks? Nor will his mistress let him chase the fun things that have the things that go around and around.

"Volstagg did describe these burgers of which you speak and five wouldst not be enough for one of us. Prithee bring us five each and with something that ist called...fr...french..fries? Vaolstagg did recommend we try these."

"Aye, and beer! Mighty Volstagg didst mention few places had mead, but beer wast common enow yet. A tankard of thy finest!"

He hasn't paid the nearby 'no shirt, no shoes, no service' sign any mind.

He glances at his sister, perplexed. "This ist mine inside voice. Their inside ist simply of insufficient size to contain it. What a small tavern. The local lord must be poor indeed to treat his guests so."
