[ Floki was furious. Never had he felt so passionately insulted before! It was as if everyone on these stupid Islands had been brainwashed!

He had heard several peoples views on the Gods most just called them that for ease as no one truly believe them to be deities at all, yet here everyone was, joining forces with them like loyal little followers!

No, he had had enough! Something had to be done about it. Unbeknownst to Floki, he himself would end up being a puppet to a false God here too. ]

May all your ships sink! Your sails be struck by Thor's mighty thunder and tore asunder from the pounding storms and howling winds! I dare you to cross Floki! Come, come to me so that I might shower upon you my burning rage! False Gods and false people are one in the same, you're all going to die in your quest of lies and unholy adventure!

[ He spat off to the side. Oh, he was enraged! Never before had he seen so many people willing to engage in blasphemy, it was enough to send him into a fit of rage-fueled murder!

Gods help anyone who crossed him and his homemade boat today, he was in no mood to tolerate anyone's bullshit. Especially if it had to do with the current activities of the City. ]

[ Finally! Someone with some common sense! ]

That is right my brother! Do not allow yourself to be sucked down with them in the squall!

[ He assumes the Collapse the man spoke of was the end of days and didn't really care what he called it, as he seemed to be on Floki's side. ]

Stand with me, stand in arms with Floki against the wretched fake ones!

[ Floki has gotten a bit of a reputation around here as being a kind of crazy zealot by some... Yet other find him intriguing, charming even. So funny how religion brings out the ugly in people. ]

[Ragnarok, the Collapse, it's pretty much the same thing.]

No. No I won't follow them ever. I spent too long being weak, too long not knowing my purpose, I didn't become strong just to succumb to some false gods and fake ideals.

[Oh he likes you. Speaking in terms he can totally understand and not thinking that he's insane. He looks to the side, considering.]

Are they resisting? Or are you bringing the fight to them? Sometimes people don't understand, don't know that they've become complacent and weak.

[He stops himself right before he starts talking about sacrifice. Because he's not sure he actually wants to go down this path. Jacob's influence is still at the forefront of his mind, it'll take years to shake off that oppression. But he'd been trying so hard to not be that person anymore, to be the Deputy of Hope County that he'd always been now that he has a new start in a new place.

Strange how the fighting and the zealotism almost feels more natural, even comfortable.]

[ The things Pratt spoke of, reminded him of Rolo and how nonchalant he was about being baptised. He had no respect for his Gods then and they had no respect for him either. It was sad, that many Northman would see such a strong warrior take no heed of Floki's warning.

He watched Pratt over the camera feed close, as he spoke of fake ideals and being stronger now than he was. Floki wanted to question it but thought it best to talk later. Now was time for action! ]

I will take the fight to them! Meet them on the waters, meet them in the place my God has power over and wave as they sink deep down into the abyss... There is no room for the complacent and weak where we're going, my friend. It's fight till you die! Then rise and fight some more!!

[ Cheering, pumping a fist into the air and yelling something like a battle cry in Norse. He was far too excited that someone not only agreed with him but was just as passionate. This man was a breath of fresh air to Floki. ]

You're going to stop them from collecting the pieces of the Door?

[Okay hold up. He needs to think about this for a second. There's a difference between being upset about false idols and actively hindering them trying to get a thing to bring them home. On the other hand he's pretty annoyed that everyone here wanted him to settle down like this was small town living in a different place.

He's admittedly not much of a fighter. Sure he's killed people, skinned a few even, but he doesn't relish battle and he wouldn't have done it in the first place if he hadn't been trying to survive. So the idea of fighting then dying only to fight some more is kind of horrifying. And he just stopped smelling like a slaughterhouse.]

You don't want me on your boat, I get seasick.

[He thinks. He's never even actually seen the ocean.]

Someone here said if you die you get brought back, won't the people you kill come back and avenge themselves? Or...

Or their eyes will be opened to what has transpired. Maybe... maybe that's what needs to happen. In a place where death no longer holds sway. Non-believers... They don't know their true purpose. There must be some punishment. And there can't be any weakness. I know that now.

Yes, yes my brother you speak the truth! Like the Gods themselves are talking through you! we must teach them not to mock, not to be so blatantly blasphemous! There is no good in doing what they are doing, working for false idols only brings false hope.

[ He likes you, Pratt. You're a man that knows his faith and knows when others ought to be punished for lacking it or taking it for granted. It was hard to find likeminded people here, so far he had a few friends, yes, but none that truly understood his passion and dedication to his Gods. ]

If you can not sail then you will fight them at the shore! I will help you, my friend, help you keep them from getting on the boats in the first place. set them straight and onto a more just path!

[ Floki always struggled with knowing when to intervene and when to keep his nose out. However, with Rage influencing him as she was, Floki was far too committed to stopping this nonsense, one way or another. ]

[Gods speaking through him? Oh he likes you. He likes you a lot.]

Like a Herald?

[Jacob's Herald? Okay that's a little horrifying, but... maybe... maybe that's his purpose. Huh. He never thought about that before. Is that why he's here and not back in Hope County?]

I don't want to prevent them from getting the pieces of the door. I want them to stop worshiping false idols and selling themselves and their emotions to things that are not Gods.

[How to punish them for their blasphemy while letting them still go sailing away to what might be a trap...]

Maybe we should destroy their temples.
