  Please bring a dish and a beverage to share.
  Hope to see you in Helheim!

Invitee: Loki/Father

Attending: Maybe

Message To Host: I’m a little tied up right now, but I’ll see if I can break free.

Invitee: Angrboda/Mother

Attending: Yes

Message to Host: A thousand years, and not so much as a card or a call from you, Fenny, or Jor.
  I don’t know why I’m surprised. I’m only
your mother. Why should my needs be your concern?
  You’re ashamed of me because I’m a giantess. That’s it, isn’t it?
  I don’t think you really want me to come. I mean, why else would you invite Sigyn and Sleipnir?
  You know how I feel
about them.
  Fine. I’ll come. But I won’t have fun.

Invitee: Jormungand/Brother

Attending: mmmphhmmm

Message To Host: (Note from Host: Jor left a voice mail, but I couldn’t understand it, probably because he had his tail in his mouth
again. Crossing fingers he shows up with his famous sushi!)
