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."

"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.

"Your inside voice, mine brother," Asleif chides. "Do use it."

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."

"Come mine siblings. Let us pull up a chair whilst the lady doth fetch us food and drink," Svalin said as she brushed past the waitress and found a table with enough seats.

She hung her sword and shield on a hook on a pole at the end of the table and slid onto the bench.

Aridis sits down smoothly. She has one leg soon hooked up over the other in such a way that might be distracting to passerbyers but Aridis thinks she is being modest.

She whistles at her hound sharply and he sits down at her feet. Though every time he sees someone with food he wiggles just a little.

Oh won't you feed this starving mutt?

Ohu returns to the table with a big smile. "We will be staying at least a few hours, my friends... I will be taking the waitress out after she is done with her shift." He opens a packet of oyster crackers and slips the dog some.

Ohu had noticed the sign on the door warning about dogs, of course, but that just wasn't acceptable. That's why the mortals saw Aridis as wearing black shades and carrying a cane. That's the sign of the blind here, of course, and those dogs are acceptable.

"Wonderful! That will do nicely. Besides, it will take hours. Tis only proper our first repast on this world be a feast of celebration for the glorious deeds we wilt perform in our stay here."
