"To placate, the blue goddess, I have brought thee this token" Vashti offers to Clem.a tape. VHS

"Uhm, Chief will do," Clem says then stares "A VHS tape? Talk about ancient tech"

She looks at Zara, "You know what this is about?"

"I do not..."

vaguely mystified.

Vashti has mischeif in her eyes "I have spied on the DeBukes"

"Yes, we know, we're used to it thnaks to your sister, but the tape?" Clem says "Are you saying you recorded us with a camera?"

"Surely someone has the means to view this?"

"Oh no, " Vashti says "This is from archives of the before times."

"I think..yes, I believe wwe have a VCR... take a moment to dust off and set up." Clem rises "Be right back. We may have sold it. Is this really important Vashti?"

"Are secrets so strnge and wondrous that they might reveal the heritage roots important?" Vashti replies in a way both rhetorical and alluring?

"...Why do I suspect this is an elaborate staging of a prank?"

"I was wondering, " Clem says "Vashti, I'm really too busy ffor games"

Vashti pokes Zara as if to say "encourage her to go with this'

"Though, truth - pooka communication difficulties... mayhaps there is a message here?"

"oh fine " Clem says ad goes out "Rufus? You know how to set up a VCR?"

Vasthi smiles once Clem is gone "You do not train them to be curious enough"

"I try. But leopards are rarely striped."

"Tis truth, even the most catlike hound has a rough meow" A tisk "But they have been kind and I would reward your friend for haven"

"They are kind, aye. I am fond, even if I may find.. ah.. not faults, per se - differences?"

"Quirks?"

"Trollclinations" Vashti agrees

"Okay..thanks, Rufus, just hook it up there we probably won't keep it out" Clem says as she returns,and sure enough, Rufus has it plugged in and going. Then he leaves. Beore Clem can just pop it in, Vashti is pushing her to a comfy chair in front of the TV and getting her a RC cola.

"Well land's sake... " Clem says. Vashti directs Zara to take a spot too.

Zara sits in a pretzely knot on the floor.

"Ladies and gents, in the before times, " Vashti says "Giants roamed the globe!"

"And the globe is a circle, and what is a circle but one of Odin's fallen rings?" She continues, and then..pushes PLAY

GORGEOUS LADIES OF WRESTLING...plays on the screen.... from the late 80s.

"Okkkaaayyy..." Clem looks at Vasthi, "Vasthi, hon, if you need time away from the balefire, we have areas where you won't be OVER glamoured"

Vashti points to the screen...

"TODAY: MATILDA THE HUN TAKES ON ... SCANTY NAVIA!" the images show two women, one germanic with fur the other, taller, but with a Viking Opera singer kind of Nordic bit if mixed with Red Sonja... the later, Scanty Navia?

Zara raises an eyebrow.

Zara realizes that that Navia looks al ot like Clem!

Clem rolls her eyes "Oh wow, golden age indeed. Lord love a duck, look at that outfits those poor women have to tussle in. Now don't get me wrong, that's not a bad move there but..."

"Is... is that a DeBuke?"

Zara has been Clem's for a while now, and been in her room and so on... the picture of her parents, take her deceased mother, shave off a few years...

"It can't be, Aunt Agnes barely allows anyone to WATCH Wrestling.." Clem says

But now Clem is looking "She..does look familiar though I..weird"

"Clem, your mother was a troll, right?"

"Seemings don't photograph..."

"Full blooded" A smile

"...Aye..."

She squints at her friend.

"I.. no.. no, can't be" CClem says "My mom was this sweet demure..."

"yes,very demure abs" Vasthi agrees

"The midriff!"

Clem's jaw drops open. "Oh my god! It IS My mom"
