Flailing, so much flailing!! This is my running commentary:

• Oh damn, Ragnar is really peeing massive amounts of blood -- that means severe internal inuries!
• Floki has stopped wearing clothes at all?
• That attack is entirely conducted by shieldmaidens -- go Lagertha!
• Corridor of Doom has Barrel of Doom!
• Princess Gisela is positively drooling at Rollo!
• Ragnar: spitting blood and seeing things!
• "Don't abandon me!" **sniffle** And then, monsters come, and Odin! We will have to do something with that in Milliways.
• Ansgar von Bremen, of course!! Completely historical. He's the one who wrote about Uppsala and all that.
• That Earl Monsterbeast has a rough sense of humour.
• What the fuck, Ecbert??
• Ragnar is in a majorly bad way!
• Shakespeare's histories and tragedies have nothing on the fucked-up royals of Wessex!
• OMG Ragnar!!
• Yes, he would totally do that for Athelstan -- also, one of the leaders getting baptized was historically always a major selling point for peace treaties in that context. Ragnar's baptism isn't purely emotional; it is a sound political decision. And moving as hell because of all the emotional background with Athelstan. Oh my feels!!!!!

Now, this will mean a number of things for how we handle that in Milliways when the time comes.-
