Uhhh.

[Why can't he ever sound natural on the network. He clears his throat, and speaks in that deep, authoritative voice with the tone of a frightened child.]

How do you... mm.

[You can do it, Jack. You already went through the trouble of learning how to filter posts.]

I wanna... ask. A girl. Something. How do I... do that.

Comments

[ragnarsson]

[Ivar is distinctly unimpressed.]

Don't bother with the intimidation tactics, Spot. I've been threatened by puppy dogs a lot scarier then you.

[Ivar's been threatened by experts in his time.]

You also might want to listen to someone who was actually married to a woman he loved.

[Granted, Ivar killed his wife, but then he's just going to omit that little detail to their relationship.]

[belowthesea]

[He flinches visibly at the mention of puppy dogs. He just doesn't like to think about dogs, okay?]

You're an asshole. I don't care what you've got to say.

[He can't tell what it is about him, but this man infuriates him. Maybe it's just down to the fact that he isn't nice, but more than that, he reminds him of Fontaine. Laughing smugly as he took everything Jack had ever loved away from him.]

[ragnarsson]

[That gets Ivar to toss his head back and let out a hearty laugh.]

You say that like it's new information I should be insulted by.

[He knows exactly what he is and doesn't care. Being abrasive and pissing people off is what he lives for.]

Don't try and be the alpha dog here. You're not the type.

[Ivar sees things about people clearly and this boy (yes, he's older then Ivar, but he doesn't respect him enough to call him a man) has no dominance that he can see on the surface.]

[belowthesea]

Shut up!

[A blast of electricity shooks out of his body, knocking something over across his room. He can't decide if he'd rather curl up in a ball under his bed, or grab his guns and go on an asshole hunt.]

You're stupid and awful! Screw off already!

[ragnarsson]

[The Viking teenager snorts.]

There's worse then me in the world.

[Not by much, but Ivar does occasionally have redeeming qualities. His voice takes on a sharper quality, less amused, and more serious.]

If you can't control your powers with just one person getting under your skin, how can you expect to do it with anyone else?

[belowthesea]

[You know what... asshole hunt it is.]

I don't have to control myself, I can just kill you.

[But not right now. He's got time, he can collect his weapons and plan his attack once he's sorted things out with Angel.]

[ragnarsson]

[That gets a genuine laugh out of Ivar, even if it is a cruel one.]

I've had people a lot tougher then you try to kill me, Spot. But you're welcome to try.

[Ivar would relish a good fight after so many months of inactivity.]
