Hello, my name's Tess Lawson. I just received an email that wouldn't die and it led me here. Can someone tell me what's going, please?

I admit, I'm intrigued.

I'm sure that realization will dawn on her later.

No, I'm not. Been single awhile now. For a wedding-planner I'm not that psyched over tying the knot myself.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

I know.

Seen Bridezilla up close and personal too many times?

Now for the five million dollar question: Who are you?

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

That show is more true to life than people would like to believe. Just had a mess with some airhead puta just this week.

I'm..not entirely sure. I'm not exactly up on my mythology studies.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

I had assumed as much. Too much fodder if there's a show about it.

Fair enough. I'm Odin.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

Seriously, I was this close to kicking her ass. At least she couldn't weasel out of paying me when the wedding went belly up.

...I know that name. I heard in my head during the last vision I had.

Yes, I see things. No, I'm not a kook.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Vision, huh. Could be a lot of things. Er...people.

Norns.

One of my ravens.

Heimdall....which would be weird.

Frigg.

Freyja had gifts along those lines.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

Some of these names sound familiar.

Wait..that one name..Frigg. Who is that?

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Uh...

my wife

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

........

...I see.

Tall man..white beard..one eye?

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

I got two at the moment.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

...I've seen you..in a festhall. I was sitting besi...

Maybe we shouldn't talk about this.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Valhalla. Asgard. Yes.

No, damn it!

Sure. Whatever you want.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

...yeah..that sounds right.

Oh fuck it...

I've never run from anything in my life. You..you looked at me..and called me that name.

...Frigg.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Yes. I called you by a few names.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

Heh, yeah..and not all of them charitable.

...God this is surreal.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

You could be stubborn.

Look. If you don't want to talk right now I'd understand, but I'd like to see you.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

As could you.

This certainly wasn't what I expected when I answered that email. I thought I'd be dealing with stubborn spam, not...

I'd like that too. Maybe we can clear this up if we meet face-to-face. I was going to head back home on the next flight..but I can stay awhile. Just..I can't promise I'll get my memories back right away.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

It's ok. Do you have a place to stay? No, I'm not making a pass.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

Heh, it's okay, chico. Yeah, I've been staying at a local hotel, courtesy of the father of the bride's backpayments for time wasted.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Tell me the name of the hotel and I'll cover it from here out.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

The Hotel Belleclaire. You sure you wanna cover that? I may decide to binge on ice cream and buy a buttload of pay-per views.

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

Give me a break. I got it. Whatever you want.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

Normally I'd feel obliged to go to town with a blank check like that, but..I've got a good feeling about you, so I'll be nice.

When?

[gladsheim-guy.insanejournal.com]

SWEET!

Do whatever you want. I can make back whatever you spend in an afternoon.

Whenever you want. Wherever you want.

[the-all-mother.insanejournal.com]

Is that a challenge?

I have to wrap up a few loose ends with my last job, but..how about this weekend?
