The Puppeteer was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
Havi encountered a jötunn locked up in a cage and a distressed female jötunn asking for help.
Dialogue[]
Havi saw a woman talking to a man in a cage.
- Jotun: Skami! Speak to me! What has that bastard done to you?
Havi approached the woman.
- Havi: Who has caged this Jotun?
- Jotun: An Æsir? It is a dire day when even enemies must be friends. But I must beg for your help. A hunter lives in a house nearby. He has become crazed, and now he preys on his fellow Jotnar. He has captured and beat my love, and soon he means to skin him like a rabbit! Will you have mercy and aid us?
- Havi: Where is this hunter?
- Jotun: Inside the house, asleep. Quickly, you must kill him before he wakes! He will have the key to this cage.
As Havi went to look for the house, he could hear the Jotun woman talking to her partner again.
- Jotun: I'll free you, I promise! I'll find the key to this lock!
Havi approached a free-standing wall nearby with a door set into it.
- Havi: A door in a wall? Is this the house she meant?
When Havi tried the door, he found it barred. Though the other side of the wall faced a small pond, Havi could see the inside of a house through the small window in the door,
- Havi Well that wasn't there before.
Havi circled around the wall, finding the other side of the barred door. He destroyed the lock, opened the door and walked through it to find himself where he started, near the woman and the caged Jotun. The door closed behind him and Havi opened it again, this time to the inside of the house. On a table he found a hairbrush.
- Havi: A woman's hairbrush. Perhaps this hunter does not live alone.
In the entryway to the back room and at the top of the stairs to the second floor, someone had set up noise traps. On the second floor, the hunter slept. Havi either set off one of the traps and woke the hunter or climbed the rafters and snuck onto the second floor.
(Hunter awoken)
The hunter woke up and attacked Havi.
- Hunter: An Intruder! Die, Aesir! Get out of my house! Scum of Asgard! Trying to cut my throat in the night! You'll be my newest trophy!
Having defeated the hunter, Havi spoke to him.
- Hunter: Stop! Stop! Take what you want, just spare me!
- Havi: I am no thief. I am here to free the Jotun you have imprisoned.
- Hunter: That villain? He's lucky I only caged him. How would you react if you found another man porking your wife?
- Havi: Your wife?
- Hunter: Aye. I've been waiting for her to return so I can thrash her. She won't be able to walk once I'm done.
- Havi: You have imprisoned her lover, and you mean to beat her when she returns. I think I'll just finish what I started.
- Hunter: Then you shouldn't have let me catch my breath, fool!
The Hunter attacked Havi again and Havi killed him, taking the key from his corpse.
- Havi: The key to the cage outside.
The Hunter gave Havi the key to the cage.
- Havi: The key to the cage outside.
As Havi left, the hunter grumbled.
- Hunter: A curse on that woman. Sending an Aesir to do her dirty work!
As Havi left, the hunter grumbled.
- Hunter: Gods help her when I catch her. I'll skin them both alive.
After killing or sparing the Hunter, Havi looked around the house further. On the first floor, on a barrel in the back room, he found a letter.
Letter to a Secret Lover
- My treasured one,
I cannot bear the bruises on your skin. You try to hide it, but I feel you wince when I touch where he has laid his hand upon you. I cannot see you suffer like this.
If you do not leave him, I must try to kill him. He is crafty, and stronger than me, and likely I will not survive. But I will if you won't.
We have a place, our secret tower where he even he will not find us. Come away with me. You deserve more.
Skami
(Hunter not woken)
Havi stole the key from the sleeping hunter and left the house undetected.
Outside, Havi spoke to the woman again.
- Havi: It is done. The hunter is dead.
- Jotun: Wonderful stranger! My everlasting thanks for saving me... saving us. Hurry now! Release him!
Havi unlocked the cage.
- Havi: You're free to go.
The beaten Jotun got up and talked to his partner.
- Skami: My love. I knew you'd come for me. And your husband? Is he dead?
- Jotun: He'll trouble us no more.
- Skami: Then we can claim the house that's rightfully yours and begin life again. Let me rest awhile first, though. Everything hurts.
Havi unlocked the cage.
- Havi: You're free to go.
The beaten Jotun got up and talked to his partner.
- Skami: My love. I knew you'd come for me. And your husband? Is he dead?
- Jotun: He still lives. We must make haste, away to our secret tower! Maybe he will not find us there.
- Skami: As soon as I regain my strength, we will go. I fear I am too weak to move.
- Jotun: O, you must try! He will not be long, I know it!
In a tower near Þrymr's house, Havi found another letter.
Intent to Murder
- My treasured one,
You didn't come again today. I have begged you and begged again, but I see now you will never leave him.
There is only one thing to do. Perhaps you will hate me for it, but I will kill your husband today if I can. Whatever you think of me after, I will not let him hurt you further.
Skami
Outcome[]
Havi either stole the key from the sleeping hunter and left, or beat the hunter in a fight and may or may not have obtained the key to rescue Skami from the cage.
