Camping

[daringyoungman]

Dick and Cat wanted to go camping. Dick asked Bonnie. Dick asked around, then somehow the word got out and it was a CAMPING TRIP.

Which he's okay with, really. He doesn't get much chance to hang around with other kids.

They pick a spot a good distance from the bar, near enough to the lake that washing and swimming can happen, not so close to the forest that demon bunnies are a severe threat, and set about pitching a camp for the weekend, or whenever they all get bored...

"Only half?" Autor asks, tilting his head. "What happens to the other half?"

"They're chosen by the god Odin. The Valkyries choose some of the slain on the battle field and they go with him to Valhalla, a large hall by the field. By day, all the warriors go into the field and do battle with eachother until they're all killed. Then at night, they raise up again and go back to their halls for drinking, games and telling stories."

Almost like milliways, except without the killing.

"I've heard of Valhalla before but I didn't know about the eternal battles," Autor says, tilting his head again. "That's interesting. I wonder why the Valkyries only choose half of them. I imagine your father will end up in Valhalla."

"Odin chooses those he finds are the bravest, and sends the valkries to retrieve them." As for why, she didn't really know or see a reason to question, it was just how things went. "He will, he and Floki and my uncle."

Even with her uncle repairing himself, she didn't doubt that's were he'll be headed.

"I've met Floki before, but I'm not sure if I know your uncle," Autor says, nodding thoughtfully. "Does he come here as well?"
