[Hey look, it's everyone's favourite alcoholic valkyrie. She hasn't been around much lately, but she's here now, eying the screen as she idly flicks ash from her cigarette.]

Anyone else who met Salvatore Quisma the other night, let's talk.

[That's it, that's all she has to say.

She just cuts the feed and waits for answers.]

[ well ]

What does that mean? Being a valkyrie?

voice, private.

[valr]

Me and my sisters decided who would die in battle, and then who of the dead would go to the halls of Valhalla.

[Sometimes she actually uses full sentences when it's about things that matter to her.]

voice, private.

[altercate]

And what do you do here? Not that, I'm guessing.

[ though derek thinks that's probably more complicated than she's letting on, but he isn't sure whether or not he's entitled to ask more questions about it. ]

voice, private.

[valr]

[She hasn't even done that back home for centuries, but she doesn't feel like talking about it right now.]

Security for Stark, some freelance shit when it shows up.

voice, private.

[altercate]

Security?

[ this seems like a step down, but what does derek know. ]

Does that come with a badge and a nightstick?

voice, private.

[valr]

Comes with money, that's all I give a shit about.

voice, private.

[altercate]

Really?

[ SKEPTICAL TBH. ]

voice, private.

[valr]

Need money to survive. [and that's her one goal, it always has been.] I don't wanna be dependent on the government once shit hits the fan.

[And it will; she'll take their handouts while the going is good, but she doesn't want to rely on it.]

voice, private.

[altercate]

And you think it will? Hit the fan?

voice, private.

[valr]

Always does. Governemnt'll show their true colours or some imPorts will fuck it up for the rest of us. Doesn't matter how it goes down, but the free ride ain't gonna last.

voice, private.

[altercate]

Or both.

[ like, lbr. ]

At least you have a plan.

voice, private.

[valr]

Or both.

[She won't argue on that point.]

I always have a plan. Everyone should.

voice, private.

[altercate]

Maybe you should suggest that next time.

voice, private.

[valr]

No point. People ain't good at taking advice.
