Wikinger (Episode 2)

Aestuo Occultus

It was quiet on deck
Nothing moved
No breeze plucked at sail
No ropes writhed
Teased by icy breeze

Not surprising really

There she sat

The Friggin’ Virgin

Still in the lobby

Surrounded by

 


Er….


Stuff

 

“Oi!!!!!!!
Get up you lazy buggers!

We ain’t gonna get any pillaging done
Not lying around here leastways….

Then again….

Did I see a maid?

And a priest of dubious gender?


Ahem…”


Mos trots through building crowd
Seems many wish to join this raid

SPLONK!!!

“VENOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”


Venom timidly approached Captain Byte

Mos just glares at him

Venom stares back at Byte


This goes on for several days

 

 


Weeks even

 


Eventually

Venom says

“Wha?”


Mos just looks at the casually discarded virgin
Then looks back at Venom


After what seems like years
Though it was only eight months
Venom manages

“Oh that…….sorry…..”


Exasperated and more than a little jealous
Mos goes over the Viking Contract again

 

“ A HA!!!! See

Right here

Viking leader shall have first right of refusal
This applies to food
Drink
Land
Wenches
But above all else

Virgins”


Looks to a bored looking Venom

“Well….”

Venom looks around sheepishly

“I did tell her this Mos
She wouldn’t listen though

Something about a ‘horrible drooling proboscis’

So she did exercise first refusal of you sir”


Mos can’t believe his ears

Takes the empty milk bottles out and gets Venom to repeat

After hearing properly
He puts the bottles back in ears
Wishing he’d kept them there all along


Mos looks straight out to Camera A

As the screen irises to a close

He says

“I’m surrounded by idiots…..by the gods
This raid is gonna be great!!!!”
