It is tradition for the Vikings to put on the yearly Yule play at the Tether. The iconic yule goat play. Is anyone up for taking part in this ? Is literally the clan putting on a stage show in the Tether, and hosting an evening of entertainment.

Date: Dec 27. 6pm fst

Need players for:
The Narrator: Muunokhoi
The Goat: Ullr
The goat slayer: Visna
Props and background: Thoruun, Gundis

Play Summary: The goat is brought onto the stage to be sacrificed. Before it is however, it is decorated in iconic yule affects and colours. It's throat is then cut, it dies.. and the goat comes back to life as a man.
The goat slayer. What a title.

/raises hand
I think Ullr would make a perfect goat. For reasons.
Horny reasons.
Adding you both to those roles !
Sign Gundis up as a prop! Whatever you have in mind works! :>
Sign me up for props and background too please! This sounds like so much fun.
Is everyone good for Dec 27 ? That's a saturday. Say at 6pm fst ?
Ugh...I wish I could be there for it, but I've a feeling my mother will be hogging my computer >.< Really wish she'd get hers fixed.
It's a good time for me, I should be around and free!
I should be free as well.
I have the date saved in my phone to alert me to it! The 27th is good but if we need to reschedule I have a flexible schedule for such c:
Alright ! Planning for the 27th
Okay so because I'm an idiot and didn't realize I'm probably the only one who knows how this play script works........ xD

Okay so the play starts out with everyone on the stage. All the props being props, and the goat and hunter just wandering around bleating and talking about the setting sun.

Narrator: Yule is blahbhal-- The goats represent Thor's goats, Tanngrisnir (Gap-tooth) and Tanngnjóstr (Tooth-grinder), who pulled his chariot through the winter sky.

Hunter/narrator/related props: decorate the goat in different colour things.
LIke... THE PINE TREE decorates the goat with a wreath of green boughs
Someone can drape a few strings of dried cranberries over it
Someone can smear woad(blue colour) onto the goat

Narrator: Each of these colours mean ______

Hunter: "spots" the goat, and makes comments about "oh, the sun is setting, and then goes behind the goat and makes a show of slitting it's throat

Goat: -dies a glorious death-

Narrator: The death of the goat represents the setting sun of yule. And now it rises again as the new day and new year.

Goat: -comes back to life and turns into a person (throws off costume), holyshits !-

Everyone: hands out random gifts to everyone watching.

The end, yay :)
