un: CliveRosfield | Video - Backdated to 7/5, late morning

[herofhopeless]

[The video turns on to show Clive outdoors. He seems to be walking rather quickly as he speaks so the video is a little shaky.]

Forgive me if the quality of this video is not great. It’s my first time doing this, but I have a message for the community.

At midday, there will be a battle in the Ochreward area. This is a planned event and there is nothing to be alarmed of. You will likely see and hear two giant creatures fighting. One will be a dragon and the other a dark knight upon his steed. Please say well clear of the area. While this is just a spar for them, it can very quickly become deadly for anyone who is too close or tries to intervene.

If the dragon sees you and can, he’ll likely do what he can to avoid hitting you. The knight will not. Don’t take the risk.

I repeat: do not approach the area. It will be unsafe for you. This isn’t a fun event to come gawk at. This is two highly skilled warriors testing their mettle against one another.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know, and I will do my best to help you. I will be near the area where the spar is happening in an effort to prevent anyone from interrupting if the request needs to be made in person, but it would be safer if you asked here instead.

[ooc: You can find the log here.]

Hey now. That was uncalled for.

[herofhopeless]

Buy me a drink. Or whatever the equivalent of buying a drink is here.

[He needs one. Maybe 12 after tonight.]

[cache_coeur]

And what does the gentleman drink?

[herofhopeless]

Thank you. Stay alert. The biggest risk will be strays of ranged attacks. Be careful.

[herofhopeless]

Ale or wine. I prefer wine.

[cache_coeur]

Easily managed. I’ll see you at midday to watch.

[hammerbearer]

[ It's fine, Clive. Fine. ]

Gaia. And if I wasn't capable of such things, I would certainly not go. Anyway, you're going to wear yourself out if you try to take responsibility for everyone's safety here.

[ Yes, Clive, all kids are super powerful Oracles of Darkness, powerful mages and scientifically altered WMDs.

...Er. Rather, all kids are like this. Gaia may realize that the latter is a response to Sephiroth but she does interject a comment of her own. ]

Sorry, I know that's not directed at me but I'm not from your world either, yet... there's many things that are similar to my own. So we won't be left completely unaware of the risks.

[herofhopeless]

Stay close. Wasn't kidding about the danger.

[cache_coeur]

I can handle myself, but duly noted.

I’ll have a white ribbon in my hair.

[untsundered]

Ah, forgive me. I was too caught up in this idiocy to properly introduce myself. I am Emet-Selch of the Convocation of Fourteen. And you would be...

[He looks at the username.]

Clive Rosfield? Strange name, but I suppose all of you have rather...eclectic ones.

[reincarnesiac]

Since you asked so nicely, I won't add to your troubles. Though I will have a few questions later, when you're up for it.

Try not to go too crazy keeping people from being people.

[twin_blade]

I've also heard of that. People arriving here who died at home. Must be weird.

[ If only you knew, Vax. ]

It's going to be hard staying away from the kind of show you described, but I'll try. Oh, what do you prime in to, anyway?

[donfire]

He doesn't drink, but I can invite him to see the fight!

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru freaking out because oh my god?? ]

Do you think you'll need a doctor or something?! This sounds really dangerous!!

[hexcope]

He didn't seem the type to want to fight for fun, but I also wouldn't have guessed he was secretly a dragon... So. Surprises all around.

[bubblegumheart]

I've only seen it the one time, and that was a little while ago. I'm assuming it's still around somewhere, though.

[Unless it's disappeared or gone someplace else, but neither of those seem likely.]

They sound... impossibly big. Are you going to be okay?

[levindicated]

Let them learn first hand. It’s not like they’ll stay dead if they do. Aurora will stick them back together.

[herofhopeless]

I’m at Cid’s poorly timed and placed social event. You can meet me there.

There’s beer and snacks.

[herofhopeless]

[There is a solid pause.]

People don’t stay dead here?

[herofhopeless]

[This is where Clive would heave a bone-weary sigh.]

Fine. Just don’t die.

[velocityraptor]

I will. You can count on me, don't worry about a thing.

[cantilevers]

[Vander had to wonder if by 'profound', it might have been sexual. Who knew. He liked to think that it was a mentorship, but he wasn't familiar enough with either to yet know their dynamic.]

You can tell me over drinks, since that's the way this is going. I have nothing bad to say about Cid, so you're only solidifying my opinion of him.

I don't understand what you mean by a vessel being fully prepped yet. As in, the person it will possess isn't mature or strong enough? Can you change similarly as these two that are about to battle royale?

[World systems were strange and fantastical. He wondered if anyone ever thought that way about Zaun... probably not.]

Why bother wait until the chaos runs its course? I'll come find you since you're on duty keeping people safe, and I can keep you company while also watching a good show. You know curiosity causes people to forget their own mortality at times.

[cantilevers]

So this one is your protégé, is he? You don't mind us becoming friends, do you?

[futuremessiah]

Maybe you shouldn't have given this warning if you didn't want to pique people's interest. Just a suggestion for next time, as it's too late now.

[herofhopeless]

Yeah, learned that one the hard way. We’ll have to figure something out for next time. I’m pretty confident there will be a next time.

[herofhopeless]

I’m hoping not but we have notified the hospital just in case. We have some healers on hand for the two that are sparring but having a doctor for backup wouldn’t hurt.
