suomi_thunderAarne hadn't celebrated holidays properly in over a year which left him feeling disconnected. Giant bonfires in the streets and rampant reindeer were frowned upon in most civilized cities, unless of course the punks were involved, then that was arson not celebrations.. ok, well for the punks it was a celebration but not for a Saami.
In the Nexus though, oh here he could do whatever he wanted, or that was what he had learned in his few visits. He had been planning and cooking and collecting. The gods probably don't even know where he stirred up reindeer from in the Nexus but he has and Mouka was happy to have a job keeping them corralled. His usual rock gear is augmented with his family necklace and oddly doesn't look too out of place with rest of his wildness.
He didn't have a lot but parties always started this way. The host had some things and then people came and brought more booze and food, ordering all kinds of things. Aarne did bring Mead, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and a a bunch of lemon tippaleipä batter. He had cooked some but this was something he could show visitors how to make on their own. The honey mead based sugar in a large bowl. Strips of dried reindeer meat and juustoleipä, a Finnish reindeer milk cheese, are out on the table too. There are fruits; strawberries, apples, and nuts which were common as well as a cream from reindeer milk traditional to the culture and nearly like unfermented yogurt.
That all done he looked to the huge pile of logs that he had gotten from various people around the Nexus. The Sami added leaves to it to create smoke at first to attract others. Before lighting it he put up a banner of hide dedicated to the Akka, the female fertility spirits, decorated with the same imagery as his traditional drum. It was sentimental, the first drum he ever learned to play.
Drum in hand he poured kerosene on the log pile and lit it. The reindeer spooked at the sudden fire but soon calmed, especially when the tall Fin went among them.

This one was certainly very beautiful and was currently now tucking a feather into the Swede's button hole. Oh. A memento? The singer wanted to know more about Rota and his species. Aliens? Or beings from another time and dimension? It was all so exciting and it was giving Hunter ideas about writing lyrics for a new song or two.
"You do? Oh, that is such a lovely thing to do. Like mother nature herself? Are you one of a kind here in the Nexus? Or are there more like you?"
The Swede's eyes raking over the angel's form, noticing the eyes and the way the feathers trail down his sides.

"I think Lucifer is Mother Nature, if any angel is, but I am a caretaker of Earth." Rota pulls back after finishing tucking the feather into his jacket. "There are thousands of angels and several types here in the Nexus from many worlds."

on 2021-05-21 06:10 pm (UTC)Hunter just stared a little more at his new angel friend and got caught up on those eyes. He knew it was rude to stare but right now he just couldn't help it. The angel was like nothing else the Swede had ever clapped eyes on. A supernatural being indeed.
"Lucifer? Djävulen?"
The Swede was a Pagan but knew of the Christian version of the Devil and mostly didn't go along with what evil he was supposed to depict as most was made up by the Church. Baphomet was supposed to be viewed as some sort of evil horned god and this is probably where the "Devil" image came from. Then, there was Freyr. This was the god Hunter worshipped.
"I worship the god Freyr or Yngvi. The ruler of peace, fertility, rain, and sunshine."

on 2021-05-25 05:14 pm (UTC)Rota doesn't mind the staring because it is common for a human when they first meet an angel.
"Yes, that Lucifer. He is our king." Rota listens to the description of his beliefs and nods.
"Lucifer is closer to your god than the description of Christianity. He is the rebel but he's a creator first and a diplomat." Then he starts giggling. "He might even like your style."

on 2021-06-13 08:20 pm (UTC)Hunter's fingers came out tentatively and wanted to touch Rota's wings but would that seem to be rude? Intrusive? For such a powerful creature such as he. The singer's gaze was transfixed on the eyes and the plumage. Lucifer was his king. How regal and slightly terrifying at the same time.
"Yes, a rebel indeed. You believe he would like my style, blomma? The way I dress and the way I am rather loud and exuberant?"
He offered a coy glance.

on 2021-06-13 11:41 pm (UTC)He ruffles up his feathers and would welcome the touch but he's not about to force himself on a human.
"Lucifer is classic, beautiful, and passionate. He might not wear as much leopard print but he is both masculine and feminine. Your style would suit."

on 2021-06-15 08:57 pm (UTC)Hunter often flirted with someone he liked but it was more platonic now due to the fact he was in love with Gilly and wouldn't come onto anyone intentionally. Even immortal angels who were beautiful. Speak of the devil---Gilly was now walking over clutching a cup full of mead in his right hand, watching Rota with a careful eye. The Swede immediately threaded his hand into his drummer's own and pecked him on the cheek.
"This is Gilly my boyfriend. He's drummer for Ziggy's band. I realise I am being rather rude, kronblad. My name is Hunter Ivarsson. What is your name?"
The blond drummer offered the angel a wide-eyed stare but said nothing, instead moving closer to Hunter, almost draping himself over the Swede.

on 2021-08-14 01:56 am (UTC)"I have forgotten as well." Rota was trying not to be intimidating to the obviously unnerved young man. "It's a pleasure to meet both of you." He offers his hand, almost directly between them so either can shake first. He doesn't want there to be jealousy. "I'm Rota, the Ophan of Biodiversity and the Rainforest."
no subject
on 2021-08-15 01:59 pm (UTC)Hunter loved the tarty drummer and everyone could see it. Gilly just blushing slightly and then staring once more at the angel. He'd never seen anyone like Rota before and it just caused his expression to be one of admiration, confusion and slight nervousness. The outstretched hand was eagerly taken by Hunter who shook it and smiled.
"Rota. You are a man of nature then? What is an Ophan?"
The name wasn't known in Hunter's language.
no subject
on 2021-08-17 03:35 am (UTC)"I am the diversity of nature and its caretaker." Rota explains. "Ophan are angels made of rings of fire that serve as messengers, guardians, and watchers. We delight in the wonder of the universe."
