Oskoreia Festival

Oskoreia Festival was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Eivor met with Braun and Sunniva, who'd been discussing Oskoreia.
==Dialogue==
*Braun: It's Woden, I tell you!
*Sunniva: Don't be thick, Braun. Everyone knows Odin leads the Wild Hunt.
Eivor approached the pair.
*Sunniva: Eivor! Who leads the Wild Hunt?
*Eivor: Odin. Why?
*Sunniva: I was explaining to him the way of Oskoreia. This one wants to turn it into a pageant.
*Braun: Not a pageant, a parade! I was thinking some of us could dress up like gods, from both lands. Maybe you could lead it, Eivor!
*Sunniva: Oskoreia isn't a celebration! It's when the Veil between the worlds grows thin, and the dead will haunt us if we don't honor them.
*Eivor: True. And they say the gods come to Midgard to hunt. Not just beasts, but men also. It wouldn't be wise to draw their attention.
*Mad Monk: You are wise to be wary of the gods' wrath, Dane, but it's not by hiding that you'll evade the Wild Hunt!
*Braun: I told you not to pester the locals, Uncle. Have you been in the herbs again?
*Mad Monk: Don't patronize me, you little shit! And you will call me Brother Maxwell like everyone else!
*Braun: No one calls you that!
*Sunniva: I've seen you around, planting your smoking pots everywhere. The whole village smells like a seer's hut.
*Mad Monk: Those pots are placed where the fabric of the Veil is weakest, letting us perceive unseen threats before they are upon us!
Sunniva shook her head.
*Braun: I'm sorry, Eivor. He shows up like this without warning. I told him he could stay with me while he's here.
*Eivor: You're right to offer hospitality. And we should mark the Wild Hunt in some way. It's a source of fear for people of both faiths.
*Sunniva: And how do you think we should mark Oskoreia, Eivor?
*Eivor: With tests of skill and strength. Like Thyra's archery range. Show the Hunt they'll find no easy prey here.
*Sunniva: Swinda is setting up another event, since her last tournament was so successful.
*Eivor: Good! Tell her we'll use it, not to celebrate, but to prepare for the Wild Hunt.
*Sunniva: Tell her yourself. You're the one leading this ... preparation.
*Eivor: Me? I didn't--
*Sunniva: And be sure to visit Gudmund's homage to the dead, or didn't you notice the ship in the middle of the settlement?
*Eivor: I noticed the ship.
*Sunniva: Good. May Odin's wisdom guide you.
Sunniva left.
*Braun: So no parade?
*Eivor: I have a better job for you, Braun. You'll be the judge of whose actions will impress the gods. You'll be the Keeper of the Tokens.
*Braun: I will be the best judge you have ever seen, Eivor!
*Eivor: Go see Norvid about the tokens. Tell him I sent you and I'll come find you later.
Braun left.
*Mad Monk: My herbs let us see the invisible, but it's you, as leader, who must cross the Veil and discover the mysteries of the nether realm.
*Eivor: I never said I was leading--
She turned around to find the monk gone.
*Eivor: Maybe I should've let Braun have his parade.
==Outcome==
Eivor got roped into leading the Oskoreia festival.
