Dancer/Donar Regular Edition #10
Dancer sat at a large rosewood table facing Chronicler and Shaper. Beside her, still bandaged from his battle with the Wilde Huntesman sat Donar, and to her other side Lisa, her legal representation.
"You'll find this quite an informal procedure, Dancer." Shaper reassured her. "The whole scary tribunal thing was starting to lose it's edge and to be completely honest, this is a much quicker process."
"Um..well, thank you for tha.." Dancer began
"Silence." Chronicler interrupted. "Informal doesnt mean you can run off at the mouth..we're still in charge here, you know."
Dark Thugos, the new Destroyer of Tales strode in and sat uncomfortably in his chair.
"We will begin this now." he demanded.
Lisa stood. "Destroyer or Tales...Thugos...I fully intended to call a whole swag of witnesses to prove my case but...I've had a change of heart."
Dancer looked to Lisa worriedly. "Eeep." She muttered before Lisa resumed.
"You see, Dark one..Dancer is currently in possesion of Ausgardian Goddess abilities. As it is, Donar is the only active Ausgardian God on Middlegard's surface." Lisa explained, pointing to the bandage-ridden Demigod. "And as you can plainly see, he is in NO condition to carry out any official diplomatic duties as an ambassador to his realm.."
Dark Thugos looked down his rocky nose and smiled visibly. "Continue."
"SO." Lisa concluded with a wry smile. "I would propose that rather than waste time here, talking to witnesses and judging opinions, and quite honestly wasting your precious time in such boring affairs...that Dancer be Donar's replacement until such a time as Donar heals, Dancer's powers fade, or both."
Thugos stroked his chin thoughtfully. The thought of sitting here and listening to case after case did not excite him. Then there was the matter of watching Dancer suffer in her new role.
"So mote it be." He judged as Dancer, Lisa and Donar reappeared in the LOR lounge.
"Thou shalt be needing this then." Donar said handing Dancer Mjalcolm minus the 'Property of Donar' sticker. "Try not to summon lightning in thine residential areas...and be warned that she doth veer to the left in flight."
"So..I'm the Thunder God for a while, huh? Man...that'll teach me for mentioning I was still a Goddess."
