|Scene Title
|Picnic Trouble
|Haldor and Maia go out on a date in the park to have a nice picnic to get to know each other better. However, what comes is worse than ants..
Sometimes he can't help it. The Viking shifts through the ferns and other foliage, leading the way through the forest from the jogging path along the reservoir. Haldor swears he has the perfect spot for a picnic, for some time to get to know one another as just people.
No Scions. No super powers. Just who they were before they found they could cleave people in twain with weapons made of drumsticks or paper, flip cars with a modicum of effort, or survive getting hurled across a room by something that could flip a car without a second thought. Those are the rules to this picnic in the park.
And Haldor, for all his brooding intensity, swears he has the perfect place to go. The Viking finally disappears through some brush, out of sight for several moments before his head pokes back through the brush to look down the incline at Maia.
"You coming?"
The daughter of a goddess of the sun and fertility does not go through the foliage as easily as she'd like. She wrinkles her nose, dressed casually in a yellow sundress as she follows, chuckling softly the entire time. Even though it's suppose to be just a regular date, she can't help but be paranoid, and hence she brings a backpack full of paper with her..you know..just in case.
Maia leans in and steals a quick kiss on the lips as Haldor appears from the foliage and nods. She reaches out to let her fingers entwine with his own as she follows and grins wryly.
"I'm coming! I'm coming! This dress seems to attract the twigs and stuff.." she grumps a little, giggling softly as she heads through to look around Central Park. It's a beautiful day and the sun is up in the sky beaming over them. It's almost as if her mother is watching..be careful.
"Well I told you not to wear a dress," chides Haldor. He had to pause, of course, to recover from the stolen kiss under the sun. Faintly he looks over his shoulder in the direction of the sun to see if a solar flare is coming for his head or not.
The Viking pulls Maia clear through the shrubbery and other brush once her fingers are twined with his. He smiles warmly as he stands upright beside her in the midst of a small forest clearing. Precious little background noise from the city or the rest of the park seems to resonate within the confines of the space, the trees just starting to regrow their leaves after a long winter's nap. About the only noise, aside from the relatively light numbers of bugs in the area, is the sounds of the water from the reservoir. It's a faint sound, of course, but it is a soft, soothing, almost subconscious sort of white noise.
"Jeans and a t-shirt would've served you better."
"This is my first date…ever. Father was very strict and a Shrine Maiden of Ise did not have the luxury of dating. I wanted to look pretty.."
Maia grins wryly as she looks up towards the sun and winces a little before turning her attention back to her date. She squeezes the Viking's hand fondly before as she looks around the small clearing. No one's around. No people to interrupt. And best of all, no monkey boys. It's perfect.
"But I'll keep that in mind next time. Jeans and a t-shirt.." she says, grinning as she lets out a soft chuckle under her breath.
Announcement: Pikachu shouts, "David can now ST scenes. Harass him for scenage on occasion ^_^"
"Well, uh. I'm just… Y'know. You always look pretty."
Haldor seems momentarily at a loss for words. Slowly he shifts the weight of the cooler he insisted upon hanging across his shoulders off and onto the ground. Promptly Haldor reaches behind his back and under his hoody to pull out an enormous picnic blanket.
"Care to set this out while I get the food ready?"
"Okie dokie!"
Maia sure is in a bubbly mood today, quite chipper as she leans in and steals yet another kiss on the cheek. The girl's going to get her smooches in damnit, whether her mother is watching or not. She beams and runs her fingers through her hair as she puts down her backpack in the grass before starting to set the blanket down on the nice little grassy knoll. She's humming something softly under her breath, not having a care in the world..at least right now.
Meanwhile, a perceptive Scion…if he or she looks out towards the reservoir would notice…a bit of frost starting to form at the edge of the reservoir..
Haldor's face flushes again at the kiss. Quietly he sighs a bit and turns away from the reservoir. For the moment, he is busily doing something inside of that cooler. Somehow he's managed to keep its contents secret from Maia, though every so often there's a flash of white paper or the tinkle of glass bottles.
Fortunately for whatever is doing things at the reservoir, Haldor is facing the opposite direction and rather absorbed in his task. Of course, his current task also involves the cold so that might be why he's not noticing any temperature changes.
Alas, Maia's caught up in the date that nothing else matters at the time. She's setting up the blanket, working out any wrinkles as she lays it down on the grass having a merry old time. She sighs softly and flashes a toothy smile towards Haldor every now and then though as she looks in his direction, her brows quirk a little. There's something..near the water. It's turning into ice and she blinks blankly before a chill wind passes through the area.
She shivers a little as she chews on her bottom lip, getting all goosebumpy as she peers towards Haldor curiously. "The weather was suppose to be nice and sunny today, wasnt it?"
"Hm? Yeah. Bright, sunny, and warm until mid-week. Why do you ask?"
Haldor pauses, arching an eyebrow as the chill wind whips through the treeline. The Viking stands up slowly, closing the cooler again as he turns to face the reservoir. Instinctively one of his hands curls into a fist, blue eyes glaring down the incline.
"Did I offend your mom?"
And Haldor definitely notices something that's changing the water near the reservoir. Things shouldnt freeze..especially not suddenly like what's going on in this case. In fact, he'll notice the grass starting to wither as something gets closer…
"It's still bright and sunny. Mom can't control the weather.."
Maia says, pursing her lips a little as she shivers and wraps her arms around herself as she stands near Haldor, nestling up against him as she continues to look out towards the water, finding the phenomenon rather..strange for the most part.
"Did I offend one of your relatives?"
"I doubt it. Sif seemed pretty awesome, Baldur's a sun god himself, and Pop can't make it cold without making clouds. I don't even know that he would make it cold. I think he'd go for thunder and lightning. Other than that, the other Aesir haven't seemed particularly interested in me."
Haldor clenches his fist tight enough that his knuckles go white. The Viking stares down at the reservoir, eyes flicking toward the withering grass as he steps between the moving cold and Maia herself.
This can't be good. There's something clearly affecting the ground and soon she pulls out one of her ofuda and mutters a soft prayer. "Let me see that which is unseen.." she says, the prayer strip starting to become razor sharp as it becomes filled with power. And there it is…two spirits approaching, though unfortunately for her, seeing the second is too late as it manifests and sends her flying in the opposite direction into a tree. Why does she always get flung around by spirits and she smacks against it clearly winded.
Now they're visible to Haldor though, both manifesting not too far away from him. They're two disgusting looking things. One of them seems to be a rather large man, his eyeball barely clinging to one of his sockets. He grins in a predatory fashion as he flashes his yellow teeth towards Haldor and brings forth a sword of pure ice.
Meanwhile, the one on his other side laughs heartily doing the same.
And these are the Aptrganger, the Corpse Demons of the Titanspawn.
Why must she always get attacked first? This is always a bad sign..or at least bad luck. As she coughs a little, she eases on up from the tree and looks towards the two creatures made manifest surrounding Haldor.
"Some date huh!" she cries out with a soft chuckle of amusement.
"Titanspawn crashing it…you know..I could forgive most anything else, but damnit, this is my first date ever!" she cries out angrily, most definitely miffed by the whole thing. For now, she just stares at the two creatures trying to find a weakpoint..
One of the vile creatures of death and frost starts slowly trudging its way towards Haldor, grinning the entire time. It raises the sword of ice into the air before coming down trying to make a slash at the hunky Scion…
Haldor doesn't need to activate his super speed to avoid a free-wheeling, uncontrolled zombie. The Viking leaps to the side, rolling through the leaves and grass before coming up in a defensive crouch. One hand reaches into his back pocket, pulling out his drumsticks, the other arm shaking until his sleeve peels back to reveal his bracer.
"What the Frigg? Can't we just have a quiet day to ourselves? Don't the Titans have something better to do?"
Slowly he stands up, face screwed up with seething fury. Haldor sprints forward, with nary a sign of super speed, and draws forth a war hammer not unlike that of his father with one drumstick. The Viking leaps forward, closing to strike range with the beast whose frigid blade is still stuck in the ground.
In mid-air, Haldor whirls, swinging his hammer with every ounce of strength he can summon.
"They don't apparently.."
Maia is annoyed, most definitely annoyed. But she also knows that it's a two to one battle right now, and she huffs a little as she makes a quick dash to get closer towards her intended target, the creature behind Haldor.
As she runs she gains momentum and suddenly jumps high into the air, her silhouette blocking out the sun's light and grace over the creature before she throws the two ofuda towards the creature's eyes, hoping to at least blind it..or something like that.
Apparently, the creature blinks a little as the ofuda strikes, doing jack crap…
The creature that was struck with the might hammer of Thor..son crushes it's head, spirit goo going everywhere. Whatever it touches dies, the grass turning black and withering and an unfortunate squirrel lets out a light squeak as it's heart immediately stops from touching the Titanspawn ichor.
"Die. Die. Die!" it cries out, starting to build up it's own legend, changing it's form until it looks like one of the warriors from Valhalla, except with the appearance of Charlie Manson.
Haldor's other hand produces a duplicate of the first hammer. The Viking slams into the ground, pausing only long enough to stand up to his full height again. Spirit ichor sprays around him, freezing the ground and a squirrel, but Haldor himself remains unaffected, his positioning just right.
The Viking continues to seethe with fury, eyes fixed on the Aptrganger as its form shifts and warps, twisting into an aspect of one of Valhalla's finest. He spins his hammers around, grumbling in aggravation as he starts stalking toward it.
"Me? No, friend. I'm gonna have to send your ass back to wherever the Hel you came from, be it Valhalla or Helheim. NOW GET THE HEL OUT OF MY PICNIC!"
Haldor keeps swinging his hammers around, the short straps at the end of their hafts coming in handy. Each hammer faintly screams as it picks up speed, whirling through the air. The Viking sweeps one around at the spirit's midsection. A moment later, he crouches down and swings the other hammer upward, launching himself upward in pursuit of it as the first hammer torques his body around in a whirling hammer uppercut of death.
Apparently Haldor knows how to perform the Shoryuken, sans flame.
Vikings are all power and fury and the bonds of family and friend. Expression of these often comes through violence of action, of music, of speech, and of thought. Haldor is no different, especially now that his day has been ruined. A war cry escapes his throat as the first hammer slams through the sludgy midsection of the Aptrganger, spraying ichor all over a rather unfortunate tree's trunk as well as the grass and shrubbery to that side of the clearing.
Haldor's tremendous strength propels him upward with alarming speed and power, the hammer shattering the bones in the face of the Aptrganger as he sails upward. Its head even snaps off of its neck, some arterial spray freezing layers of rubber off of the soles of Haldor's boots. The head rolls about on the ground, spreading a circle of frigid ichor before both body and mangled, ravaged skull melt and evaporate into a sickly mist that is washed away with the wind.
The spray of dark ichor ruins the shrubbery killing anything it touches not touched with the power of legend. As the dark ichor seeps into the ground, plants die and the ground frosts over as it's scrunched and lets out various sickening squelching sounds as it's deathspasms. Soon, it fades into nothingness leaving behind only a shield glowing with the radiance of Baldur himself.
Meanwhile, the other demon corpse cries out as it starts to become larger, taking in the remains of it's former brother. Where it was just as tall as Haldor in the beginning, it's now twice that height, towering over the trees as it cries out in anger once more. It's claw like appendages brush over it's icey sword making it even more lethal as spikes form from the main part of the blade before it gets into a defensive stance staring straight towards the two Scions.
"You. Two. Will. Die.."
Haldor slams back to the Earth with a hideous *KRRRRRRRR*-*AAAAAAAAAAAACK* as his feet plant on the frozen ground. The earth shatters under the impact, the Viking momentarily destabilized but to no true effect. As the Aptrganger grows and grows, Haldor springs toward the gleaming shield.
Bearing aloft the shield, Haldor glares up at the enormous demon corpse. A slow, possibly evil smile spreads acros Haldor's features as he winds up with the shield. Both of his drumsticks are in his right hand, clutched tight while he prepares his next move with the shield in his left. With a tremendous, spinning release, Haldor launches the shield at the Aptrganger's legs.
A moment later, both of Haldor's drumsticks have disappeared. Instead, he bears a pair of Viking long swords. One is held in a reverse grip, the blade trailing behind him as if he were about to engage in a knife fight with it. The other is held normally, though at an angle that guards his body. Haldor charges forward, leaping moments after the shield has caught the giant's attention. In mid-air, Haldor starts slashing and hacking at its face.
As gravity reasserts itself over Haldor, the Viking brings his swords together. They fuse and meld, flowing together into a tremendous labrys. With a mighty roar, Haldor swings the double-headed axe up and then down, attempting to carve a positively enormous trench down the front of the Aptrganger with his axe, his strength, and an assist from gravity.
Frigid, almost slushy ichor sprays in nearly every direction as Haldor slashes at the Aptrganger's face. A vast network of oozing, "bleeding" lines are ripped across its face as it is mangled. The shield long forgotten, its damage as a distraction already done by preventing it from noticing Haldor's approach.
Haldor descends, almost in slow motion at first, and swings his enormous axe around to sink it deep into the Aptrganger's throat. Gravity drags Haldor downward, inexorably downward, and his axe comes along with him, carving a ragged, oozing trench that drips slushy ichor after the Viking. The labrys hooks on the spirit's pelvis and Haldor swings his legs, sending him swinging between the Aptrganger's legs before his drumsticks revert to their 'natural' state.
On the ground, Haldor snarls and turns around, watching the spirit warrior collapse forward with tremendous force. It too melts and evaporates into the wind, its intended destruction forgotten.
The sight of the gore and the dark ichor over the ground curses the land around the area. It's a disgrace really, especially to the young woman who's the daughter of not only a sun goddess but of one of fertility and plants as well. The sight of the destruction and the curse upon the land sends a shudder down her breath.
Maia heads on over towards the melting and evaporating ichor that disappears with the wind. She looks up towards the sky and mutters a soft prayer as the icy blue jewel on her ring sparkles in the sun's light. She twirls softly before pressing her hand towards the patch of ground, hissing a little as her hand starts to become just a tad bit frostbitten from the legend. She chews softly, wincing a little as she closes her eyes.
"Kami of the park, I beg for your aid. Spirits hear my plea, banish this curse and cleanse the blight.." and soon, the darkness on the ground disappears, though there are still brown spots of dead grass…
After several minutes, she lets out a soft sigh, winded and bruised on her chest and back, though it's not visible with her sundress before looking towards Haldor. "You okay, handsome?" she asks curiously.
"Well my cooler is covered in frost zombie goo and about six inches of ice… Oh and our picnic is kind of ruined. Course, I'm pretty pumped on adrenaline and some Viking blood lust, but I'm not hurt. Are you?"
Haldor turns to face Maia, moving closer to her as he studies her body language. Just this moment, he can't tell she's bruised, but he can see she's winded. Gently he wraps an arm around her, helping to support her while she recovers herself.
"It got me good.." she says, wincing a little as her stomach is still bruised as she chews on her bottom lip while she leans against him, sighing softly.
An arm wraps around his broad and muscular torso as she coughs a little, nestling closely before she hops up and steals another kiss on the lips. "I think we can salvage things…we can easily wash off the goo and ice and try to make the rest of the date..you know..pleasant?" she asks with a bright smile.
"We'll wash the goo off, chip away the ice, but we're going back to the apartment. I'll just have to think up another great date idea. Something that can't get ruined."
Haldor smiles gently at Maia, rubbing her cheek with his free hand. The Viking glances around the clearing, just to make sure there's no more surprise Titanspawn lingering about. Lightly he takes her frosty hand and rubs it gently with his, trying to get the circulation going again.
"Just watch, tengu will attack there.." she says with a self depricating smile as she smiles brightly and pulls him close with her non frosty hand for a tender kiss on the lips.
"And you kicked ass. I was utterly worthless.." she says with a soft sigh. She looks to the side a little, wrinkling her nose before she starts moving her slightly frostbitten hand just a bit to continue to get circulation through it before motioning towards the cooler. "So shall we, handsome?"
The Viking smiles gently at Maia and kisses her cheek. "Physical combat is not your thing, Maia. That's alright. You keep us out of trouble with dead people. Plus you're smart, like scary smart. You don't need to be hardcore to be worth a lot to everyone."
Haldor pauses a moment, peering at the shield he flung. It is, inexplicably, stuck in a tree. After several moments of consideration, he disengages from Maia and moves toward the gleaming disc. Curious, he pulls it free to inspect it more closely.
Maia beams brightly at his reassuring words. Of course, the kiss helps as well. "I know it's not. Just remind me to stick close all the time then.." she says matter of factly, wrinkling her nose as her cheeks flush a bright tinge of red.
As Haldor goes to get the shield, she goes over and picks up the cooler, lifting it over towards the water to wash the goo and the frost off. Hopefully the goo doesnt kill anything in the water, but hey, that's a risk, right? Eventually all the goo is gone, disappearing with the rest of the hoarfrost on the cooler before she takes a peek inside. He was hiding something in there, right? What is it?
The shield in Haldor's hands is rather large and has an emblem of a sun on it. Clearly it's a shield of Baldur, but how did the Aptrganger get it? What does it do? Who knows?
Inside of the cooler? There are about sixteen different sandwiches, all fresh from the deli, if the white paper wrapping around them is any indication. A half-dozen bottles of soda, of varying flavors, are also in there, half-submerged in ice. Oh and let's not forget the brownies; they look to be double chocolate at least, if not moreso.
Haldor continues to inspect the shield, puzzled and curious about it. Thoughtfully the Viking hefts its weight, seemingly testing it as he leaves Maia to her thing. Slowly he makes his way over to join her, smiling a bit.
"Thanks. Sorry I got distracted… I think this is one of Baldur's shields. Not sure what a frost zombie was doing with it… Or even what it does."
Maia looks through the cooler and beams brightly as she heads on over and peers curiously towards the shield. "Well, it looks like you have a new shiny!" she chirps merrily, hooking her arm with his as she leans in against him and nestles closely.
"When we get back to the apartment, I'll ask it for info if you want?" she says, raising her brows as she's also put up the blanket as well. She did have time for lots of cleanup afterall.
Alas, poor blanket. Haldor knew it well. Picking it up was a noble cause, but one with little merit. Like the earth upon which it was lain, the blanket was frozen by Aptrganger ichor and subsequently shattered by Haldor's terrible impact with the ground.
The Viking takes the cooler from Maia and smiles, nestling her against his body. He smiles at her and nuzzles her cheek for several long moments as he considers something, though what is up for debate, as he gazes into the gleaming shield.
"A very shiny shiny… And yeah. May as well find out what it's for… If you're feeling up to it."
"I'm up for it, but let's do it at the apartment.."
Do what at the apartment exactly? That's up for debate as she leans in and nuzzles her nose against his cheek as she beams brightly and starts heading off, sighing a little. Their date was ruined, but at least they got some cuddle time, and that's always a good thing.
"You know, for a first date, this is to be expected when you're a child of a god I think..next time, we should stay in and I'll cook you some food.." she snerks.
"Meh. Some days I really wish I weren't the son of a god. I'd like to just be able to go on a date with a g- Errr… Woman in whom I'm interested without having to fight giant frost zombies or something."
The Viking sighs a bit, trailing after Maia. Haldor rubs the back of his neck, carrying the shield on his right arm and the cooler in his left hand. What a date.
"Then we can always nput off asking the shield for information to later? Just put on a movie and snuggle back home? I'm cold anyway.."
Maia looks back towards him beaming brightly the entire time as she gives his hand a gentle squeeze before bringing hisknuckles to her lips as she places a soft and tender kiss on it.
"Pleasure before business and all that. And I'll even make dinner!"
"I'd like to know what's going on with the shield first… I can relax once I know, Maia. We can order in, watch a movie… That sort of thing."
Haldor smiles at the ex-shrine maiden, stroking her cheek with the hand she just kissed. The Viking smiles gently at her, moving closer to her so he can take her frosty hand in both of his. Lightly he rubs her hand, trying to warm it back up.
"Sounds good.." she says, her cheeks flushed a bright tinge at his fingers brush up against her cheeks. And since central park isnt far from the condos, she leads him back through the foliage off towards the pathway until they're back at home.
"Okay..ordering in sounds good." she says, slipping out of her shoes as she heads into the apartment, stretching one of her arms up. Of course, her other hand still has her fingers entwined with his own as she lets out a happy little giggle. "Could you set up the shield on the coffee table while I put the food away?" she asks curiously.
Haldor nods to Maia's request, though he sets the shield down on the floor first. For the moment he has to work on getting out of his boots. While she's putting the food away, he's busily removing his boots and his hoody. There is a *CLANG* of the shield against the coffee table, followed by an apologetic "Oops."
When Maia peers out, everything is in order, save Haldor seems to have set the shield down a bit harder than intended.
Fortunately, the table can handle it. After Maia finishes putting all the food away, she wanders into the living room, flopping back onto one of the couches as she picks up the shield.
"You know, this is the second relic I've started to investigate. I think this is going to become a habit for me.." she says with a wry smirk before she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. "Spirits, hear my plea, reveal to me that which is not known and that which is hidden.."
Soon enough, a slight breeze fills the living room, and the whispers of the kami start to be heard, even by Haldor…though as to what they're saying..only Maia can know..at least for now.
Haldor crouches down across from Maia. The Viking remains quiet and patient, watching and listening intently as the wind mysteriously picks up, carrying with it the voices of the unknown. For the moment, this is Maia's show. Haldor's just along for the ride.
Soon the whispers of the spirits become quiet and the form of a dwarf appears on the shield. It's about the size of the Princess Leia hologram from Star Wars and it looks…annoyed, waking up from it's slumber. "Where am I? Who are you? You're not my master! What's going on!?!?" he cries out angrily, huffing and puffing a bit. The shield suddenly becomes heavier, pinning Maia in the couch.
"Help..please.." she says, looking pained a bit as it threatens to crush her legs from the weight. "We mean you no harm. We found you from the remains of a creature…one that I don't even know of. Haldor…" she grumps a bit.
Both of Haldor's eyebrows raise as Maia seems to find herself in pain. The Viking moves quickly, all but leaping across the short space to wrap his hands around the edges of the shield. He applies all of his formidable strength to trying to lift the weighty shield, peering at Maia and the shield alike.
The shield is suddenly very heavy. Of course Haldor can lift it, but alas, Maia's no Aesir. She lets out a sigh of relief as she eases on up as there are cuts on her legs from the edges of the shield starting to slice through her skin from it's sharp edges.
"We mean no harm. Please..calm down.." she says, looking towards the shield, begging at this point.
As Haldor lifts the shield up, the spirit wanders the shield and recognizes the futhark bracer and harumphs a little, suddenly becoming much, much lighter in the hands of the Aesir. "You're not one of us, Jap.." he says angrily. "The last time we worked with your kind, we ended up dying.." he grumbles a bit. Oooh, he's slightly racist too as he looks down and studies Haldor's features a bit.
"Thorson…okay. I'll be nice to you. But what happened to my master?" he asks grumbling and most definitely annoyed.
Haldor blinks a few times as the dwarf fades into focus in his vision. The Viking peers at him, shifting the shield a bit this way and that before arching a red eyebrow again.
"… Dvergar?" Haldor pauses a moment, focusing on what's important. "Who is your master? I might know someone that could shed some light on it for us."
"Johanssen was the name….at least that's what I always called him" the dwarf spirit says, looking towards Haldor suspiciously for a few moments. "I won't work for anyone but him!" he says seeming to throw a tantrum at that point, the shield shaking a bit in Haldor's hands.
At this point, Maia facepalms as she rolls her eyes and grumps a little. "Great..just what we needed.." she says sighing in the end.
"Johanssen?" Haldor doesn't get much further than that as the shield starts shaking, rattling, and quivering in his grip. Presumably it's also getting heavier to boot, which causes Haldor to nearly double over as he tries to restrain the thing.
"I don't know a Johanssen. We were attacked by, I think, Aptrganger. One of them dropped you… Hrnngh… Please, dvergar, I know you're upset… But we seem to have rescued you."
"…." The spirit is quiet for a few moments. "What?!?!? Aptrgangers killed Scions, Thorson. I'm pretty sure Johanssen is dead if you rescued me from the demon corpse.." he grumps once more. The shield calms down finally and the dwarf starts to sit down still facing Haldor. He doesnt look towards Maia for she's a filthy Jap and totally not of Aryan origin.
"I might be willing to take a new master. So how about this. I won't kill you and you may use me in battle. If and only if…" he says while peering towards Haldor intently. "You pass a test."
Haldor shrugs a little bit at the spirit. "I've heard they're pretty ridiculous, but I dunno. I killed two of them myself. Maybe they weren't true Aptrgangers, but something… else. They sure looked and acted a lot like them though." The Viking arches his eyebrow at the dvergar's mention of a test.
A brief glance is cast toward Maia before Haldor fixes his gaze on the dvergar. He leans in close, peering the Norse dwarf dead in the eyes.
"What kind of test?"
"I have to think about it. Till then I won't give you any access to my abilities.." he harumphs once more. Making a dwarf spirit think on the fly is mean and a terrible thing to do. "Til then, I'm just a regular shield.." and with that, the spirit disappears going into hibernation again.
And that's when Maia just stares shaing her head. "I have never met a more offensive spirit in my life.." she grumps.
"He's old school. I had a neighbor like that back in Pennsylvania."
Haldor shrugs a little bit and sets the shield down, carefully, on the floor. Gently he settles down beside the ex-Shrine Maiden and gives her a big hug.
"Sorry I got you hurt with the shield."
"It's okay…it looked old. I wouldnt be surprised if he had some history with someone in my family.."
Maia lets out a soft chuckle as she wraps her arms around his torso and squeezes fondly, nuzzling softly against his chest before stealing a few quick kisses every now and then.
"So..back to our date.." she says with a wry grin.
"Yeah. Let's watch a movie or something. I'm a little disappointed that the shield couldn't tell us more."
Haldor shrugs a little bit, snuggling in against Maia's side. The Viking seems content to just be comfortable and nestled against her for the time being. It has been a weird and annoying day.
"Indeed, you get to choose.." she says, handing him the control before she curls up on the couch and rests her head against his strong and powerful form. She hrmms and purses her lips for a few moments as she looks up towards him, studying his features for a few moments before she lets out an impish giggle as she cuddles against him once more.
"Mmmm, did you mean what you said last night?" she asks curiously.
"What did I say last night?"
Haldor peers at Maia, gently hugging her as he flicks on the television. The Viking hits the mute button, flipping through channels as he snuggles in against her.
A soft chuckle escapes from her lips as she gives it a dismissive wave.
"Nah..it's okay. It probably was in the heat of the moment.." she says softly, still curling up against him while leaning in to kiss his chest once more.
Haldor quirks an eyebrow at Maia's response. Gently he snugs her close and nuzzles her cheek a little bit while starting to channel surf.
"O… Kay then."
The TV is secondary on the young woman's mind. She just watches Haldor quietly for a few moments, letting out a soft chuckle under her breath as she brushes her fingers against his cheeks, watching him for a few moments.
"So, you wanted to get to know each other better..you know..with our regular lives and all. Anything you want to know about me?" she asks curiously.
"Yeah. I figured a picnic out in the middle of the park, where the world was so far away… We could just chat, eat, hang out. It'd be nice. A way to just feel normal again."
Haldor shrugs a little bit, hugging Maia close. Lightly he kisses her cheek, one hand stroking the back of her head. Comfortable, he stretches out a little on the couch, curiously looking at her.
"Watching TV and cuddling is pretty normal." she says with a wry grin, letting out a happy little giggle at the kiss on her cheek as she pokes his stomach playfully. "So come on…this is my first date ever. Continuation of a first date rather, and fighting Titanspawn is a good physical activity I think.."
Maia rests her head on his shoulder as she meets his piercing blue gaze with one of her own. She smiles cheerily as she hrms for a few moments. "So..you can ask me anything you want, and I will answer.."
"Bleh. The day's been ruined by Titanspawn. I say we just snuggle up, watch some tv, and wait for dinner to arrive. Maybe after dinner we can try something else, but… I'd rather wait for another day."
Haldor flops over onto his back, sprawled across the couch with Maia hugged atop him. The Viking meets her gaze evenly, one hand moving up to stroke through her lustrous hair.
As he sprawls out on the couch, Maia follows, laying on top of him as she meets his gaze, quite in a chipper mood. Sure she's bruised from the fight, but it's better than being dead. She rests her chin on his chest as she starts running her fingers through his hair, studying his features still.
"Snuggling, TV and dinner definitely sounds like a good idea. After dinner, perhaps we can have a bit of dessert?" she asks, her brows waggling suggestively as she leans in for a soft and tender kiss.
XP Awarded to Haldor.

Chinese stir frying is a quick, healthy and economical way to cook a wonderful variety of foodstuffs of many different types. As the food is cooked at a very high temperature, it retains its nutritional value and texture. As the cooking time is short, stir frying can be made to fit in to the busiest of schedules.
The pak choi included in this recipe is also very often referred to as Chinese cabbage and is a wonderfully crunchy and tasty vegetable, commonly found in authentic Chinese cuisine.
Ingredients (Serves 1)
- ¼ cup basmati or long grain rice
- Salt
- 1 skinless chicken breast fillet
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon corn starch (cornflour)
- Vegetable or sunflower oil for stir frying
- Light soy sauce
- 1 small to medium pak choi
- 3 medium closed cup mushrooms
- ½ small white onion
Chinese fried rice is actually rice which has firstly been boiled and cooled before being quickly stir fried in the wok. Cooking the rice is therefore the first step in this recipe.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling bowl. Put the rice in to a fine sieve and wash thoroughly under running cold water before adding it carefully to the boiling water. Stir well, bring back to a moderate simmer and cook in this way for ten minutes.
Drain the rice through the fine sieve at your sink and leave it to steam off for a few minutes, allowing the excess moisture to escape.
Spread the rice out on a large plate, cover and leave to cool for around half an hour.
Put the egg white in to a small stone or glass bowl before adding the corn starch and a generous pinch of salt. Beat with a fork just enough to combine and no more.
Cut the chicken breast fillet in to small bite sized pieces. Stir it through the egg white and starch mixture, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for twenty minutes. This process is called, "Velveting," and is a method used in Chinese cuisine to help protect the chicken against the intense heat of the stir frying process and keep the meat beautifully moist and tender.

Put two small serving dishes or heatproof bowls and what will ultimately be your serving plate in to the oven. Turn the oven on to its lowest heat.
Wash the pak choi and shake it dry. Brush or wipe the mushrooms. Slice the base off the pak choi and discard. Slice moderately thinly across the way to produce discs, stopping when you reach the leaves. The leaves should be chopped and set aside. Quarter the mushrooms and cut the onion half in half again.
Pour a couple of tablespoons of oil in to your wok and bring it up to a high heat. Add the cool rice and stir fry over a high heat for about a minute or so. Add a splash of soy sauce, briefly stir through and remove the wok from the heat.
Take one of the serving dishes from the oven (remembering to use gloves) and spoon in the rice. Return the dish to the oven.
Drain the chicken from the velveting solution through a colander at your sink. Stir it around in the colander with a wooden spoon for a minute or so to get rid of as much of the egg white as you can.
Carefully wipe your wok and bring it back up to a high heat, adding another couple of tablespoons of oil. Add the chicken and stir fry over the high heat for a couple of minutes until the chicken is just cooked.
A slotted spoon should be used to briefly remove the chicken to a holding plate while the vegetables are stir fried.
Put the pak choi, mushrooms and onion in to the hot wok. Keep the heat up high and stir fry for about a minute. You should find the pak choi slices and onion quarters will separate in the heat.
Return the chicken pieces to the wok along with a splash of soy sauce. Stir fry for a final thirty seconds to one minute maximum. The pak choi leaves should be stirred in to the mix during the final few seconds of cooking.
Take the second serving dish from your oven and spoon in the stir fry.
Take the plate and serving dish of fried rice from the oven. Lay the two serving dishes on the plate as shown above. The idea is that the two separate components of the dish are spooned on to the plate as required at the table.
While chopsticks would be the traditional choice for eating Chinese food, most people in the West would be more likely to use a knife and fork or simply a fork. You may find, however, that using a spoon to eat as well as serve the food is the most practical of all your options.

I already made a post about some of my favorite moments from living in London, but a lot of the best memories were left out because they've been waiting for this post -- my favorite geeky moments in the UK! Yeah okay most of my life is a series of geeky moments, but these are the super cool ones okay. As a fangirl, I have to say, moving to London was a really good idea in terms of meeting famous British hotties, seeing my favorite musicians live, and basically having an amazingly geeky time.
In no particular order:
So there you have it, some (most) of my favorite geeky/fangirly/fandomy moments in London! I'm sorry this is such a long post. But it is mostly for me and Shaun to look back on for nostalgic purposes, and if you enjoy it, then awesome!
Wow I have done a lot of really cool stuff in England, haven't I? Life is really good. I am a really lucky person and I can't say enough how grateful I am for every single moment I've had here in the UK. Seriously I can't say it enough. I am so grateful.

His pain medicine training was complimented through his higher qualification in pain research, awarded in 1993 (MD, Doctor of Medicine research). He was appointed to the staff of the Middlesex hospital in 1994 where he developed his interest in neuromodulation for neuropathic and complex spinal pain. Through his multi-speciality work with urologists, gynaecologists, urogynaecologists and colorectal specialists his interest in urogenital/pelvic pain started and he has since set up the largest centre for urogenital/pelvic pain in the UK. All of his work is supported by a comprehensive multidisciplinary team. He was awarded the Fellowship of the Faculty of Pain Medicine (FFPMRCA) in 2008, the first year it was available.
Dr Baranowski has always had an interest in education and has organised over 40 meetings on pain related subjects.

Changes in water flow depend mainly on how precipitation will change, but also changes in temperature that affect snow melt and evaporation.
The annual average stream flow is expected to decrease in the eastern parts of Götaland and Svealand, while an increase can be seen in large parts of Norrland. High flows are expected to become less frequent in large parts of northern Sweden as the spring flood is projected to decrease.
However in parts of southern Sweden high flows may occur more regularly. In south-eastern Sweden low water flows are estimated to become more frequent in summertime due to increased evaporation.

It also provides a peace of mind to the seller who does not have to go through the stress of having their house on the open market, a WIN/WIN for everyone. Your home will be added, along with its virtual tour, floor plan & still photos, to the instant listings section of this website, which will also be sent to all our supplementary web sites as mentioned before, so your home can't possibly be missed in an online home search.

As your advocates, we promise to negotiate fully on your behalf and advise you every step of the way. We will help you bullet-proof your transaction to minimize your risk.

How to Deep-Fry a Turkey
Deep-fry your way to crispy skin and juicy meat with these step-by-step instructions.
Deep-Fried Deliciousness
Skip the oven and head outside to deep-fry your Thanksgiving turkey. It's a little trickier than roasting a classic turkey, but the payoff is huge. All the crispy skin and juicy meat that results is worth learning how to master the technique. Here's how to sate your deep-fried dreams safely.
Watch the Video: How to Deep-Fry a Turkey
Prep the Turkey
Remove the neck, giblets, and any pop-up thermometers or plastic trussing on the turkey. Make sure the turkey is thoroughly thawed, as any hidden ice pockets can be very dangerous.
Cover with Water
Put the turkey in the pot and fill with water to cover by about a half-inch. Make sure the pot is still at least 4 inches higher than the water line; having too much oil in the pot can cause it to overflow and cause a fire.
Take the turkey out, then use a ruler to measure how high up the water goes. That is how much oil you will need.
Dry Everything
Pour out the water and dry the pot completely. Pat the turkey dry thoroughly inside and out.
Season the turkey with salt and pepper all over, then let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
Prepare to Fry
Set up your frying equipment, then fill the pot with oil to the measured height and bring to 350 degrees F.
Hook Up the Turkey
Insert the hanger securely into the turkey and attach the lowering hook component. Very slowly lower the turkey into the oil and remove the hook.
Fry, Baby, Fry
Fry about 3 minutes per pound, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the thigh registers 150 degrees F.
To take the temperature, slowly lift the turkey out of the oil and have someone insert the thermometer into the thigh while the turkey hangs.
Make Sure It's Done
Return the turkey to the oil if necessary to continue cooking.
Rest, Then Eat!
Transfer the cooked turkey to a cutting board and let rest 20 minutes before carving.

Sheffield Financial and American Suzuki Motor Corporation sign three-year financing services agreement
Knowledge Base: Suzuki Buyer's Guide
CLEMMONS, NC--April 13, 2011: Sheffield Financial, a division of BB&T Financial, FSB, which is a subsidiary of BB&T Corporation , has renewed and expanded its three-year financing services agreement with American Suzuki Motor Corporation effective immediately.
The new contract covers both installment and revolving financing for motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and UTVs manufactured in the United States through a network of authorized dealers.
Sheffield has a strong commitment to Suzuki and its dealers and customers. "Suzuki was willing to take a chance on us while we were still relatively unknown in the powersports industry," said Jack Snow, Sheffield Financial president. "We have never exited an industry that we entered and we don't forget those companies who helped us get to where we are today."
Working with major companies such as Suzuki allowed Sheffield to have the largest market share gain among all the national powersports lenders in the past year according to an industry survey as reported by PowerSports Business.
Sheffield, founded in 1992 and acquired by BB&T in 1997, is well-acquainted with Suzuki's customer base and dealer network. The company signed its first contract with Suzuki in April 2008 to provide revolving loans to its customers. Since that time, Sheffield has set a proven track record with Suzuki's dealers.
"Sheffield is an innovative lender that can adapt quickly to changes in the marketplace," said Dirk Gould, finance manager, American Suzuki Motor Corporation "With the strong financial backing of BB&T, Sheffield was able to maintain a business-as-usual attitude during the recent credit crunch. ĀHaving a lender we know will be there in good times and in bad is one of our main priorities when choosing a financial partner."

What is a blue moon, how rare are they and what are the lyrics to the famous song?
Here's all you need to know about what a supermoon is, when they are due, and why blue moons aren't actually blue
BRITAIN'S night skies were illuminated by not one but TWO super moons at the start of the year - on top of the New Year fireworks.
This is a phenomenon known as a "blue moon" – here's what you need to know about them, and how rare they really are.
What is a full moon?
This spectacle occurs when the earth comes directly between the sun and the moon.
It happens every 29 and a half days, and each month's full moon has a special name.
This is because Native American tribes kept track of the months of the year by the lunar calendar.
What is the difference between a supermoon and a blue moon?
It wasn't until 1979 that Richard Nolle first defined the supermoon, which is now a widely-used term.
The astrologer explained that the phenomenon is "a new or full moon which occurs with the moon at or near (within 90 per cent of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit."
Based on Nolle's theory, the moon would have to be 226,000 miles away from the Earth to be considered 'super'.
Because of its relatively close proximity to the Earth, the celestial body's surface appears a lot bigger when a supermoon occurs.
A blue moon is the name of any month's second full moon - an event that only occurs once every three years.
It led to people coining the phrase "once in a blue moon", meaning something that doesn't happen very often.
This means that the one on January 31st will be an ultra-rare blue supermoon.
When is the next blue moon?
The last blue moon occurred on January 31, 2018.
The next blue moon is scheduled for March 31, 2018.
Is a blue moon actually blue?
Blue moons aren't actually blue - the confusion is because the term originates in "blewe", the old English word for "betrayer".
Normally, a year would have 12 moons, but when a moon appears for the 13th time - it was perceived to have 'betrayed' the lunar cycle.
However, a moon can appear blue if the right kind of dust is kicked up into the atmosphere, and filtering out excessive red light.
Why do Manchester City fans sing Blue Moon?
The idea of pre-match chart music getting pumped onto the terraces might sound like a new idea, but it actually dates back to the sixties.
Some fans decided to sing along, and continued even when their song dropped out of the charts - it's how Liverpool fans ended up singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone', how Stoke City fans ended up singing 'Delilah', and how Bristol Rovers ended up singing Goodnight Irene'.
Blue Moon became the anthem of choice for The Citizens after Dean Martin's version of Lorenz Hart's hit took the fancy of City supporters in the eighties.
Here are the lyrics to the instantly recognisable song:
Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Denizens of the Metro Phoenix nightlife scene got their drink on at few new bars that opened around the Valley last month. Some also got their game on at the same time over at the wildly popular Cobra Arcade Bar, which finally made its long-awaited debut in the beginning of January.
Elsewhere, the folks from Bar Rescue swung through town and worked their magic on the George & Dragon and Tempe's Baseline Sports Bar, one of Toby Keith's namesake honky-tonks got a reboot, another speakeasy-like joint popped up in downtown Phoenix, and a longstanding home to nightlife faded away.
Cobra Arcade
Downtown Phoenix finally got the game bar it's been craving for years when the long-awaiting Cobra Arcade Bar debuted during the first week of January. And huge crowds have turned out every weekend since them, armed with dollars bills to feed the change machine (which is loaded with Cobra's custom designed tokens), get their hands on any of its 40 different classic arcade titles, and whet their whistles with any of the bar's 10 game-themed specialty cocktails.
Old Town Gringos
The former Dos Gringos in Scottsdale, which closed late last year after 19 years as a party haven, got a new name, new owners, and a complete makeover that excised the beach bar vibe and replaced it with a sleeker and swankier look. Its still got a largely Mexican-style repast, and like many other eateries in Scottsdale's entertainment district (El Hefe, The District, Urbane Manner, Bottled Blone, et al.), Old Town Gringos has been quite active after dark with DJs and dancing since it opened in early January.
George & Dragon
Admittedly, this is more of a reopening than an opening of an entirely new bar, as George & Dragon got a major cosmetic upgrade and sprucing up after Spike TV reality show Bar Rescue filmed an upcoming episode at the famed English pub along Central Avenue. The G&D's color scheme was redone with blue and brown hues, its lengthy bar was refurbished and redecorated, more Union Jacks dot the place, and there's generally less clutter. Unlike other spots featured on the show, which typically get a new name and concept, the George & Dragon thankfully kept its legendary moniker and Anglophile focus. As big fans of the place, we'll definitely raise a toast to that.
Brick & Barley
Bar Rescue was also behind the transformation of Tempe's Baseline Sports Bar into the renamed and redecorated Brick & Barley. The show's infamous host Jon Taffer and his crew of experts helped update the worn-around-the-edges watering hole, which sported a profane flair and was a favorite of local bikers, with better lighting and updated digs to create more of a warm and friendly neighborhood bar.

Cowboys Saloon
The Cowboys Saloon chain, which operates upscale country bars in South Florida, expanded into Arizona when it bought the failed Toby Keith's I Love This Bar in North Phoenix, gave the place a major spit and polish, and made it the newest location. Like its sister spots, the latest addition to the Cowboys Saloon empire offers a down-home mix of drinking, dancing, and dining, as well as live country music and female employees in Daisy Dukes. A Peoria version, which is transforming the Toby Keith's at 99th Avenue and Northern, is in the works.
Melinda's Alley
Valley Bar received some competition in the speakeasy-style basement bar department when Melinda's Alley opened up just across Central Avenue over the New Year's weekend. Situated underneath the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel, it features a similar retro bent with vintage furnishings and ephemera galore, throwback-style cocktails, a clandestine atmosphere, and minimalist lighting outside its alleyway entrance (in this case, a single red lightbulb) to beckon in barflies.
Stand-Up Scottsdale
The onetime home of legendary Valley nightclub Anderson's Fifth Estate, which hosted local comedy club Stand-Up Scottsdale the last few years, is sadly becoming either an office building or retail space after its most recent occupant moved to a new location at the beginning of January. The property, which is situated near Fifth Street and Indian School in Scottsdale, served as a nightlife destination for more than three decades of under a variety of different name and focuses.
Throughout the '80s and '90s, it was the legendary dance club Anderson's, which featured two separate dance floors and hosted a "who's who" of local DJs, as well as many concerts. It went through a few identity changes in the aughts, spending a few years as the Vagabond Ballroom and the LGBT-centric Forbidden Nightclub before eventually winding up as Anderson's again. Stand-Up Scottsdale took over in 2012 and served up yukks and the occasional dance night before proprietor Howard Hughes moved the comedy club to North Scottsdale.

Corned Beef Hash
One of the reasons why I love shopping at Trader Joe's is the unexpected finding I come across now and then. You go in for milk and eggs, and you leave with a basket full of new frozen pizza or different flavor ice cream. I found such an item recently, when I came across corned beef that was being sold in the refrigerated section.
I'm sure there are many different ways you can enjoy this, but since I love corned beef and hash, I decided to make my own version for breakfast today. These are the ingredients I used for 2 servings:
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno (optional)
- 2 cups of finely chopped corned beef (I used 1/2 of above package)
- 2 cups of chopped boiled potatoes (I used 2 small red skinned potatoes)
- 2 eggs
- 1 green onion, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 toast (optional)
If you don't have boiled potatoes, start by putting potatoes in a pot of water, let it come to a boil, and cook for about 15 minutes. However, if you already have leftover boiled potatoes, one less step to worry about!
In a skillet (I used cast iron) on medium heat, melt butter. Add chopped onion, sprinkle salt and pepper, and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and jalapenos and cook for another minute. I like a little spice, so I add jalapenos wherever I can, but of course it's up to you.
Add corned beef and potatoes, mix and raise the heat to high or medium high. At this point, leave the potatoes alone, so that it has time to crisp up. I even pressed down on the mixture with a spatula, so that it can get a little brown on the bottom. You should hear some sizzle at this time.
After a few minutes on one side, check to see how brown it looks. If you like what you see, you can flip in sections so that it will get browned on all sides. Don't forget to press down with the spatula on the other side as well!
In the meantime, cook eggs to your preference. I like sunny side up eggs, so that is what I made.
Now is also the time to toast some bread, so that it will be ready when the dish is done.
Once everything is nicely browned, season with salt and pepper, place eggs on top, and sprinkle chopped green onion. If you don't have any green onion, you can omit it, but I personally love eggs with green onion.
Nice one pan brunch at home. Less dishes to wash, and who doesn't like that? If you like hot sauce on eggs, feel free to load it up with hot sauce of your choice (we used tapatios, yum!). Eggs and hot sauce just go so well together.
Runny eggs just make me so happy. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday!

Republican Senator Don Balfour of Snellville, Georgia, is facing numerous criminal charges, including creating a false certificate, illegally claiming legislative costs, double-billing and theft. A panel has also recommended that the lawmaker be suspended from his duties.
Two men accused of alleged robbery of woman near Atlanta
When an Atlanta resident is accused of a robbery, they likely need a good defense. However, when a couple of men are accused of robbing a woman at gun point, in front of her home, they need a strong criminal defense.
Driver allegedly flees from traffic stop and gets shot for it
When someone is pulled over at a traffic stop, they usually do not attempt to flee the scene. However, even if a person does flee, most people would not expect to be shot at by the police for it.
Driver charged with allegedly causing deadly accident
When someone is charged with causing an accident they often need a good defense. However, when those criminal charges include serious charges related to someone's death, the defendant needs as good a defense as he can get.
DeKalb county man accused of robbing a bank and dollar stores
When a defendant faces serious charges, the potential consequences they might endure could change throughout the defense process. During discovery, evidence could be uncovered that could benefit the defendant by reducing or dropping some or all of the charges. Unfortunately, it could lead to additional charges and more serious penalties for the defendant.
DeKalb man arrested for allegedly killing woman in front of kids
When a man who is already a convicted felon is accused of any type of violent crime, he typically needs assistance. However, when the criminal charges include murder and child cruelty, the man needs one of the best criminal defenses possible.
DeKalb County officers accuse man of being serial robber
When someone is accused of robbery, it is often difficult to defend against the charges. However, when someone is accused of being a serial robber or any significantly large amount of felonies, that person needs to put forth the best defense possible on multiple fronts.
Young teen charged with alleged murder in Dekalb County
Often times someone is charged with a crime simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Even if that is the case however, a strong criminal defense is still needed for that person in order to show their innocence or to mitigate the charges.
Two persons sought by Atlanta police may face serious charges
When a murder occurs police seek swift justice. Anyone who had contact with the deceased or is seen with his property after his death is immediately suspicious. While this point of view may seem effective, it often leads to false arrests and serious charges being levied against innocent individuals. Since these charges carry life-altering consequences and can ruin an individual's reputation, a strong criminal defense is a necessity for anyone accused of murder.

11/06/2018 - Privatised water bosses rake it in
The chief of United Utilities has taken home £12m in salary, bonuses, pensions and benefits in the last five years, new figures have revealed.
The chief executive of the private water firm, Steve Mogford, earned £2,310,000 in 2017 alone.
Mr Mogford's earnings have emerged as part of a joint investigation into company accounts of England's nine water firms by union GMB and pressure group Corporate Watch.
Salary, bonuses, pensions and other benefits mean the average CEO package for a privatised water company in 2017 was £1,254,000.
Mr Mogford's sum of £2,310,000 was twelve times more than the Prime Minister, and a 49pc increase on the £1,547,800 the chief executive took in 2013.
United Utilities defended Mr Mogford's takings but did not dispute GMB's figures.
A spokesperson for United Utilities said: "The vast majority of Steve Mogford's remuneration is linked to the delivery of stretching targets aimed at significantly improving customer service, operation delivery and environmental performance.
"In 2017, his total remuneration was approximately half the average for a FTSE 100 CEO."
GMB have criticised United Utilities and other private water companies for using customers' money to finance their CEO's salaries.
GMB published the figures as it starts its 'Take Back The Tap' campaign to bring England's privatised water firms back into national ownership.
Tim Roache, GMB General Secretary, said: "It is a national scandal over the last five years England's hard-pressed water customers have been forced to splash out millions through their bills to go into the pockets of just nine individuals.
"Privatisation of the water industry has been a costly mistake and these eye-watering sums are further proof the water industry must be returned to public hands.
"GMB is urging people and politicians to Take Back the Tap and make our water services work for the many and not the few."
