Collared, Branded and Named Thor’s Peace ^.^

So this post will be about Thursday evening (7/21/2011) in RP. It makes me a little emotional reading it over again.

In character I was Pen Slave 799 at Ironhall in Tor’Mark Fell. Not yet collared and branded to the village. There is a history to my character that will only be more fleshed out as I read Marauders of Gor and Explorers of Gor. But I don’t have it laid out in my profile. Too little space and I do other things in SL. Better to find out about it in play anyway :-D.

I got home from work and logged out of First Life. You could get a cramp playing that all day without rest.

I set about milking bosks for butter. We were woefully low on butter in the Bakery. We also need more honey and flour. Milling grain for flour and churning butter seem simple but they are time consuming tasks (oh my god). I walked all the way from Ironhall to Torsvik to do the milking. I met another bondmaid who was also numbered as a Pen Slave. 252 I believe. We talked as we worked.

Much of the evening passed like this. When I had churned all of my milk into butter, to the point that I couldn’t churn any more (shows worn out hands and aching arms), I grinded a bit of Sa Tarna into flour. The other bond was focused on her grain grinding but she was friendly and after she gathered her flour, offered to churn some of my milk into butter to make the task pass quicker.

It was a fulfilling day working. I like to see that my labor has made a difference in the Bakery. It isn’t easy work. These are chores after all. And sometimes one has to drop everything to serve a Jarl’s or Mistress’ pleasure. But still, I am a new kajira to Ironhall and I want to make a good impression. Perhaps it is a survival instinct.

Already I’ve learned that it is not so simple a thing to attain certain food staples as what I am used to. Namely salt and sugar. I met with the Trader in Torsvik, Jarl Antonio and have a better understanding now. I think he found it amusing how much salt and sugar I wished to bring to Ironhall, ignorant as I was to how difficult it is to get these items. But kindly he said he would see about increasing the trade amounts for those two. I wish I had known about the salt earlier. Me and a couple other pen slaves, roamed all over the Mark looking for salt at the end of the last hand. At the least we are now familiar with more of the region.

It is cold even now in summer, though working and moving about keeps me warm. Most of the bondmaids seem not to feel the weather quite as I do.The men and women look and speak quite different than those in Ushindi though in some ways the port town reminded me of another port town, Schendi.

252 and I carried the fruits of our labors back to Ironhall. There we stopped to speak with a Jarl who might have taken us both to serve him in the Longhall.

Only at that moment, the Overseer, Jarl Quinn strode by and stopped to greet and speak with us. He seems to be a cheerful sort of Jarl and perhaps is even more so now that his Companion grows large with his child. That Mistress is also very kind. Not something to be taken for granted.

Seeing him reminded me of the other ongoing thought inside. Being named. Collared to Ironhall, and yes even branded.

Never had I felt so naked then in the moment when this Jarl removed the collar of my previous Master, now dead. I had no great attachment to any other item. But the collar, that collar, had been a constant in my life for quite some time. Now I stood collarless, nameless, with naught but a coffle rope about my neck and cast off scraps to wear. A strange slave in a strange land. And my Master was dead and I belonged to him no longer. Even now it caused an ache inside of me.

I remained untouched since I had arrived in the Mark. Once asked if I had been opened, I answered truthfully, many times and often. But since being here I had not been taken to the furs of any Jarl. It was an abrupt change and the heat inside to be taken came upon me in the oddest moments. What thoughts went through my head while churning butter I will not express, except that perhaps my mind wandered to a scarlet haired Jarl who often had me sit upon his lap when he came to the Bakery. I have not yet served in the Longhall but have heard the bondmaids telling stories of what it is like to be there especially at the end of each hand when many of the region’s Jarls leave their halls to eat and meet with each other in Ironhall.

So with great fervor, I’ve placed much effort into the work of the Bakery. And for a time it lessens these thoughts until I bathe and exhausted take my rest in the night.

Such a feeling came over me suddenly when the Overseer approached. I wanted to serve. And I wanted to belong. A kajira is a kajira even here where they are called bondmaids and surely they would understand here too.

And so, this is what occurred last yesterday:

[2011/07/21 18:49]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) nods “Heilsa, all!”
[2011/07/21 18:50]  Sor Van Lamington (jarlsor1991): turns and nods “ah heilsa brother”
[2011/07/21 18:50]  Ebony Bohemian nibbled her lip a little looking to Insi and then back to the Jarl. Then she hopped just a little seeing the Overseer approach, “Heilsa Jarl.”
[2011/07/21 18:51]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): “How beh everyone tahnight?”
[2011/07/21 18:51]  Insi (sefa.milneaux) grinned over at the Overseer, her gaze bright. She moved from foot to foot with far too much energy “Tal, Jarl!”
[2011/07/21 18:52]  Sor Van Lamington (jarlsor1991): he gave a frown “abit in a foul mood brother, but nothing a drink cant fix” grins
[2011/07/21 18:53]  Insi (sefa.milneaux) grinned when she saw Sizzle and winked “Tal, Sizzle!”
[2011/07/21 18:54]  ϟїẕẕℓℯ (aille) sauntered up from the kennels, a smile curled to her lips hoping it appeared genuine as she paused near the bakery glancing to each of them, “Greetings Jarls….. Greetings bonds”
[2011/07/21 18:54]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): “yew and meh both.” he said, a growl in his tone. “Seems bonds are not happy with me as OverSeer.”
[2011/07/21 18:54]  Sor Van Lamington (jarlsor1991): nods “aye, tal there sizzle”
[2011/07/21 18:54]  Sor Van Lamington (jarlsor1991): he looked to him “whys that brother?”
[2011/07/21 18:54]  ϟїẕẕℓℯ (aille) canted her head towards Quinn, “Why in the world would they not be Jarl?”
[2011/07/21 18:55]  Ebony Bohemian walked right up to Quinn as he walked towards the group. She stopped abruptly so as not to collide with him. The girl looked up at him then took a step back… he was much taller than she, “Heilsa Jarl,” but she had already said that. Her heart thud in her chest and throat, goosebumps rose along her dark skin and not because of cold this time. She bit her lip determined. She opened her mouth to speak but stopped, “Not happy with you as Overseer dear Jarl, why ever not?”
[2011/07/21 18:55]  Insi (sefa.milneaux) watched Ebony with a bright smile
[2011/07/21 18:55]  ϟїẕẕℓℯ (aille): “Aye Jarl. You are but one person among so many bonds. Might there be anything that some of us bonds can do to help any?”
[2011/07/21 18:55]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): “Because some women are princesses, that is why.” he said and looked her over. “yew doin’ ok?” he asked her, his voice not as angry now.
[2011/07/21 18:56]  Sor Van Lamington (jarlsor1991): he chuckled “well if any man can muster the patience for them its you brother, i have to meet with the first axe. ill have to catch you another time my friend”
[2011/07/21 18:56]  ϟїẕẕℓℯ (aille) nodded to him grumbling softly, “Aye Jarl… some… forget their place too easily” she shrugged and lowered her gaze growing silent
[2011/07/21 18:57]  Inga (arella.bressig) approache dthe gathered crowd quietly she kept her distance for a moment no wishing ot interrupt. She offered those who did not have their back to her a soft smile in greeting.
[2011/07/21 18:57]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) nodded “Odin’s best.” to Sor.
[2011/07/21 18:57]  Sor Van Lamington (jarlsor1991): he nods “aye, may the all fathers eye watch over ye brother and to ye bonds”
[2011/07/21 18:57]  Sor Van Lamington (jarlsor1991): he says before turning to go see Pit
[2011/07/21 18:58]  Insi (sefa.milneaux): “I wish you well, handsome Jarl.” she wnked at him
[2011/07/21 18:59]  ϟїẕẕℓℯ (aille) glanced off towards the hall, then to the group noting a gathering of bonds doing nothing, glancing to Quinn with a slight dip to her chin, “Pardon me Jarl, I should go check upon the hall. THere be plenty of bonds here to see to your needs I’m sure” she winked to him and took off towards the hall
[2011/07/21 19:00]  Inga (arella.bressig) smiled softly to Sizzle as sh left.
[2011/07/21 19:00]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) looked to 799, waiting for her answer.
[2011/07/21 19:00]  Insi (sefa.milneaux) moved slightly forward and tried to nudge Ebony
[2011/07/21 19:01]  Ebony Bohemian blinked several times when he asked if she was ok. She nodded once, “Yes Jarl I am.” And suddenly it was decided inside of her. She slipped to her knees before the Overseer, thighs spread wide, sitting back on her heels. “Please Jarl,” she looked up into Quinn’s eyes before bowing her head just a little and raising her arms above it, wrists crossed, “I beg you for the collar and brand of Ironhall. I beg you to make me a full bondmaid of Ironhall.” She fell silent after that, trembling just a little.
[2011/07/21 19:02]  Insi (sefa.milneaux) smiled at her proudly
[2011/07/21 19:02]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) narrowed his eyes and then nodded, walking over to her. He bent a bit and lifted her chin, forcing her face up to look at him. He was smiling. “Yer a good bond, 799. Aye, ah will brand and collar and name yew.”
[2011/07/21 19:02]  Ebony’s Collar: Ebony adopts the ‘submit’ position.
[2011/07/21 19:02]  Inga (arella.bressig) smiles as she watches the girl beg for her collar. It was always a good sight to see.
[2011/07/21 19:04]  Ebony Bohemian looks up at the Overseer again as he lifts her chin, there were tears in her eyes but seeing his smile, she smiled too, her nose wrinkling a little with the impish expression.
[2011/07/21 19:05]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): “Up on yer feet, let’s go do it now.” He said and winked at her. He saw his bond there and told her “Join us, iffin Dagmaer does not need yew, and no one else needs yew, Mine.”
[2011/07/21 19:06]  Inga (arella.bressig) perked up a bit as her Jarl spoke to her. “My Mistress is resting my Jarl. I will check the hall and the bakery before joining you make sure all are served.”
[2011/07/21 19:06]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): “Aye.”
[2011/07/21 19:06]  Ebony Bohemian popped up onto her feet once more easily. Her stomach was fluttering, “Yes Jarl”
[2011/07/21 19:07]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) then led them to the smithy.
[2011/07/21 19:07]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) told her “Strip and wait here for meh.” as he went over to the bin and picked out two metal posts and dumped them into the coals of the forge.
[2011/07/21 19:08]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) then took off his weapons which would get in the way and walked over to the bellows, pushing down on them a few times to get air shooting through the coals, igniting them hotter when the oxygen mixed.
[2011/07/21 19:08]  Ebony Bohemian grinned at Inga and then ran after Wuinn following to the smithy. At his command, she removed her kirtle, folded it neatly beside her and set the horn and slave rope on top of it.
[2011/07/21 19:09]  Inga (arella.bressig) smiled ot Ebony as she watched. It was always a happy day when she got to see a bond get her name, brand and city collar.
[2011/07/21 19:10]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) then put on some smith gloves to protect his skin and grabbed a pair of tongs. With these tongs, he pushed the irons in the coals, heating them evenly. Once they were glowing red, he backed up, picking up the first iron bar and putting it on the anvil. He grabbed a hammer and started to pound it, shaping it.
[2011/07/21 19:11]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) was shaping the iron bar into a smooth curve, the glat end sticking out where the pins would soon go. As he finished this one, he went back to the forge and grabbed the other iron bar with the tongs and put this back on the anvil .. starting to shape it to match. This would form her collar.
[2011/07/21 19:12]  Inga (arella.bressig) bit her lip as she watched her Jarl work. The sight of his chiseled form always excited her. Her mind wondered to more private times they had shared as she let her eyes roam over him. A low sigh left her lips as she could see small beads of sweat on his flesh. “anything I can get you my Jarl?” she said almost in a purr.
[2011/07/21 19:12]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): *flat end
[2011/07/21 19:13]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): “A bucket of water to cool the metal.” He told her as he contniued, finishing this one now.
[2011/07/21 19:13]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) the stopped, taking the two pieces over to the other anvil and then grabbed 4 rivets from the bucket “Over ‘ere, bond.” he pointed to the anvil.
[2011/07/21 19:13]  Ebony Bohemian stood waiting where she was bid to wait. She saw the implements being prepared that would brand her flesh and she shivered again, laid bare as she was, a little fear curling in her belly. But she wanted this. She watched standing on tip toe from time to time as Quinn created her collar.
[2011/07/21 19:13]  Inga (arella.bressig) moved quickly to fetch the water. “Yes my Jarl.”
[2011/07/21 19:14]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) would now wait for his bond to come back, for he could not proceed without the water.
[2011/07/21 19:14]  Inga (arella.bressig) placed the bucket at her Jarl’s side “Your water my Jarl”
[2011/07/21 19:15]  Ebony Bohemian came quickly to the anvil and the Overseer, “Yes Jarl.”
[2011/07/21 19:15]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) nodded and walked to the anvil, dumping the two pieces of iron into the bucket. He waited for them to cool a moment and then took them back out, wiping them off with a rep cloth and placing them back on the anvil as he moved to the other side. He then told the girl “Lay on the anvil like this..” he put his cheek to it so she could see what he meant. (the anvil does not have a sit, so just pretend)
[2011/07/21 19:18]  Ebony Bohemian watched him demonstrate the position. She stared at him for a moment and it was almost as it was when she first encountered Torvaldslanders, she understood nothing, his voice drowned out by the roar of blood in her head. But she wasn’t stupid. “Yes Jarl,” she nodded and lay her head down pressing her cheek where his cheek had been.
[2011/07/21 19:20]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) nodded and placed both pieces around her neck. He then held them in place with a clip as he pushed rivets into the appropriat holder on the end. He then started to hammer one by one. “Now dinnae move..” he said as he went, not wanting to smash her skull with the hammer. When the last one was done, he looked at his work, nodding with a smile. “There, how does that feel?”
[2011/07/21 19:20]  Quinn Zeitman gave you Sample Collar Commands:  Ironhall Village Collar (3/21/2011).
[2011/07/21 19:23]  Ebony Bohemian remained quite still understanding what was to happen. Though she was motionless, her insides felt like an ocean in continuous endless waves of motion. She closed her eyes, “Yes dear Jarl.” With the last rivet in place and the question asked, she lifted her head and rose quivering fingers to her throat to touch the iron that now rest there. She looked at him and giggled suddenly, light headed. “It feels… it feels good Jarl.”
[2011/07/21 19:24]  Ebony’s Collar: Ebony Bohemian’s chat command prefix is now ‘eb’.
[2011/07/21 19:24]  Ebony’s Collar: Ebony Bohemian’s collar name is now ‘Ebony’s Collar’.
[2011/07/21 19:24]  Coffle Rope (Scripted)(New): You were collared for 1 day, 3 hours, 5 minutes, beating your previous best of 10 hours, 45 minutes by 16 hours, 20 minutes! However, you detached your collar 3 times!
[2011/07/21 19:25]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) winked “Good. Now….” he said and would test the leash on her, making sure it held. He nodded again and then would walk to the forge, grab a bucket, toss in some coals, and walk over to the brazier to put them in there. He picked up the branding iron and started to swirl it around to heat the Torvaldsland mark on the branding iron. “Yew go now and yew lay on the log, ah’ll come tie yew in a moment.” He smiled.
[2011/07/21 19:30]  Ebony Bohemian ‘s fingers did not leave the collar. She felt all around it from the back of her neck to her throat yet again. Felt it’s weight upon her. Unmovable unless a Jarl wished to remove it. She would never be able to. She walked over to the log and lay upon it. The trembling had begun again. This would hurt and she was scared.
[2011/07/21 19:31]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) told inga “Come hold her hands, Mine.” with a smile and then walked over to her, starting to tie her to the log. As he did, he moved his hand upon her flesh, settling on her left thigh, looking for a nice spot to do the brand. Once he found it, he moved back up and went to grab the hot iron.
[2011/07/21 19:32]  Inga (arella.bressig) smiles as she lets a finger trail along her own collar. The collar her Jarl had made special just for her. She felt the sting of tears in her eyes as her heart swelled with pride and love for him. Seeing 799’s fear she offered her a smile “Do not worry lovely, my Jarl has done this many times.” she said reassuringly as she took the girls wrists in her hands.
[2011/07/21 19:35]  Ebony Bohemian shuddered at the touch of his hand, warm along her skin. She moaned softly quite involuntarily. She bit her lip looking up at Inga and gave a nod. She turned to gaze up at the Overseer once more, hearing and seeing the steaming iron draw near. Her belly tightened and she closed her eyes, ready, though she didn’t think she could look.
[2011/07/21 19:36]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) looked her over and then put his left hand on her right thigh. “Now, dinnae move, but yer allowed ta scream.” he said to her and without warning, he plunged the brand into her thigh, the flesh sizzling, marking her as a village bond of Torvaldsland. As he counted in his head to 5, he then lifted the brand back off, letting it cool as he tossed the iron onto the floor to be cleaned by the village thralls.
[2011/07/21 19:41]  Ebony Bohemian squeezed her eyes tighter at those words, they seemed to echo in her head, ‘You’re allowed to…’ Her eyes and her lips flew open, wide. The only sound was a harsh and sharp intake of breath as the iron pressed deep into the meat of her thigh. Yet she didn’t move. Frozen in that state until the iron was removed. At that moment, her hands squeezed around Inga’s and she let out a bloodcurdling scream which surely echoed throughout Ironhall and perhaps she was heard in Hrodimimirs Holt as well.
[2011/07/21 19:42]  Inga (arella.bressig) could not help but cringe at the sound of the iron hitting flesh. The girls scream piercing her ears as she gripped her tightly trying to keep her still.
[2011/07/21 19:43]  Lur (luria.irelund): blowing afew strains of hair away from my eyes, standing quietly to the side as my eyes widen hearing the trembling voice of the new bond
[2011/07/21 19:43]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) heard the scream and then walked quickly back over to her, untying her limbs from the log. He put out his forearm, tight with bulging veins on it, to help her stand up. “Steady bond…” he said to her as he waited for her to get up.
[2011/07/21 19:44]  Quinn Zeitman gave you Ironhall Brand.
[2011/07/21 19:45]  Inga (arella.bressig) smiled to 799 letting go of her wrists so she could rise. Her ears were still ringing but that was ok.
[2011/07/21 19:47]  Ebony Bohemian stopped screaming abruptly with another gasp, pain radiating from the newly branded flesh. She was shaking and tears flowed but it was done. Tension left her and she breathed deeply, her breast heaving. She realized she was untied now and reached out to grip Quinn’s arm, sitting up, then wincing when she stood. The pain renewed as the muscles of her leg worked.
[2011/07/21 19:48]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) then spoke “Yew can put yer kirtle back on… ah need ta think of a name for yew.” he grinned.
[2011/07/21 19:49]  VeneraBlack: The woman wandered through the City, she was not looking for anything in particular, but happened upon a girl and her Jarl, with a raised brow she passed them quietly her head turning to look back. Upon reaching a tree she stood still a moment, having not yet come across anyone till now., too frightened to say anything she kept her silence and continued on her way
[2011/07/21 19:52]  Ebony Bohemian grinned in return. It was contagious. She looked for the spot where she had left her folded clothing and slipped into her kirtle once more. The pain was already not as bad as it had been initially but… ouch, she thought. She belonged again. She smiled wider.
[2011/07/21 19:53]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) then thought a moment “Yer new name is Thora… it means peace of Thor. Yew’ve been a sweet peaceful bond ever since yew came here but ah have no DOUBTS you would fight life and limb for your village iffin it was in danger. So yer Thora - Thor’s peace.” he nodded firmly.
[2011/07/21 19:53]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): (sorry.. Tofa)
[2011/07/21 19:54]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): *Tofa
[2011/07/21 19:55]  Lur (luria.irelund): hearing the gentle sound of footsteps behind me, my body turning slowly in the direction of the sound, the soft fabric of my skirt fluttering outward as a gust of a cool breeze flows past, my eyes just catching a glimpse of a finely dressed Freewoman disappear into the darkiness
[2011/07/21 19:56]  Ebony Bohemian bounces on the balls of her feet again smiling, her cheeks positively glowing, “Thank you Jarl. Thank you.”
[2011/07/21 19:57]  Ebony Bohemian says the name to test it out on her own tongue, “Tofa.” It was unlike any other name she had heard in her life, but it was her name now.
[2011/07/21 19:57]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): “Yer most welcome.” he grinned down at her. “Now just get yer medical exam and show me a few serves and yew’ll be a full bond.”
[2011/07/21 19:58]  Inga (arella.bressig) offered a wide smile to Tofa. “well done bond” she said happily for her.
[2011/07/21 19:59]  Ebony Bohemian gives a determined nod, “I will do it Jarl.”
[2011/07/21 20:00]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) nods “Good, then yer done ‘ere and can serve the borg, Tofa.”
[2011/07/21 20:00]  Ebony Bohemian looked down for the first time at her newly branded skin. The brand nearly looked like a newly blooming rose to add to her previous markings. A sign of her new life here beginning.
[2011/07/21 20:02]  miley (mileycyrus.cyberstar): ((I know I am an observer, and should not talk, not to disrupt the rp. but it was pretty cool. I congratulate them all. this was very good. I’m new here and I think to stay.))
[2011/07/21 20:02]  MileyCyrus Cyberstar: ((I know I am an observer, and should not talk, not to disrupt the rp.\n but it was pretty cool.\n I congratulate Them All. this was very good.\n I’m new here and I think to stay.\n))
[2011/07/21 20:03]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman): (great, ty Miley)) ((Great, Miley company)))
[2011/07/21 20:03]  miley (mileycyrus.cyberstar): ((eu preciso ir agora para rl… eu vejo todos voces amanhã… congratulations )) (((I need to go now … rl I see you all tomorrow … congratulations)))
[2011/07/21 20:03]  MileyCyrus Cyberstar: ((I need to go now … rl I see you all tomorrow … congratulations))
[2011/07/21 20:04]  Ebony Bohemian: (( *grins* )) (((* Grin *)))
[2011/07/21 20:05]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) would then walk to his bond and leash her.
[2011/07/21 20:06]  Inga (arella.bressig) purred up at her Jarl as she heard his leash snap on her collar. “I love you my Jarl.” she purred happily up at him.
[2011/07/21 20:06]  Quinn Seansonnen (quinn.zeitman) chuckled to her “AH love yew too, Mine.” and then slapped her ass hard.
[2011/07/21 20:07]  Ebony Bohemian turns and looks around. The village hadn’t changed but it felt different. “Thank you Jarl!” she chirped again then she remembered she had butter to add to the stores and flour. She bounded off.
[2011/07/21 20:07]  Susie (susiemeadow) grins and waves
[2011/07/21 20:07]  Susie (susiemeadow): You have a name yet!
[2011/07/21 20:07]  Susie (susiemeadow) looks excited to ebony
[2011/07/21 20:07]  Inga (arella.bressig) squealed with delight as she felt his playful smack
[2011/07/21 20:07]  Susie (susiemeadow): Tal Jarl (Speech Jarl)
[2011/07/21 20:08]  Susie (susiemeadow): Tal inga (Speech no)
[2011/07/21 20:08]  Ebony Bohemian giggles seeing Fjola,” Tal!”
[2011/07/21 20:08]  Susie (susiemeadow): I saw you coming from the blacksmith..let me see your thigh
[2011/07/21 20:08]  Ebony Bohemian stuck out her leg and showed the brand on her outer thigh, freshly burnt in.
[2011/07/21 20:09]  Susie (susiemeadow) cringes..”Ouch”, then rubs her own thigh remembering the pain
[2011/07/21 20:09]  Ebony Bohemian: The Overseer, Jarl Quinn named me Tofa!
[2011/07/21 20:09]  Susie (susiemeadow): awwww that’s a nice name
[2011/07/21 20:09]  Susie (susiemeadow): what does it mean?
[2011/07/21 20:09]  Ebony Bohemian gave the details excitedly. Her accent was very apparent at the moment, “He said it meant Peace of Thor.”
[2011/07/21 20:10]  Susie (susiemeadow): “hmmmmm ….he’s really good at picking out names… *remembers viva’s name that first time she witnessed the branding*
[2011/07/21 20:10]  Ebony Bohemian looks down at the brand. She goes to touch it but then thinks better, “It does hurt…. maybe some ice on it would be good… or the butter I brought from churning.”
[2011/07/21 20:11]  Susie (susiemeadow): “nooooo don’t use butter , then your leg might fry or something”
