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.]

And here I thought our greatest concern in Etraya was a nineteen year old girl with a shiny rock.

So, are these two just stretching their wings or something? Or is this normal where these two are from?

(ooc: whispers i love you vander)

[herofhopeless]

That sounds like a story. Although, where I come from, shiny rocks can be pretty dangerous.

Sort of both. They meet on the battlefield frequently back home. From my understanding, Dion, the dragon, doesn't want to get rusty and Barnabas, the knight, is pretty much always spoiling for a satisfying battle.

And we CAN'T WATCH THIS?!

It sounds so cool and fun and interesting and you're telling us we can't really go WATCH MONSTERS FIGHT?

[herofhopeless]

Do you want to get crushed or incinerated?

Go find a tall building, go to the roof, and watch from a safe distance. You won't be able to miss them. Trust me.

{ Have you taken precautions in the event of unforeseen emergencies? }

[herofhopeless]

Haven't had time. I was just told and am trying to get there before they start fighting. Any help would be appreciated.

audio only.

[miniroth]

Ochreward, you said? Thank you for the information, I'm certain we'll all be duly cautious.

[Was that a door. Probably not.]

Audio

[herofhopeless]

You can be duly cautious by staying the hell away from here.

[He heard that door.]

Go. Home.

Come now, you’ve just told everyone where the best show in the entire bubble is going to be. No one even lives there. It would have taken them ages to get there once they noticed the dragon.

[herofhopeless]

Yeah, I'm learning that. Already regret my choices. At least I am getting some help. Someone is making sure the hospital is notified ahead of time in case of any collateral damage. Dion didn't exactly give a lot of notice.

Is this a usual occurrence here? I had noted the chaotic disarray that this facility is otherwise kept in, but this is certainly a different extreme altogether. Truly, battles between creations? To test their might? How utterly barbaric and needlessly destructive.

[herofhopeless]

Not sure about here, per se. I'm new here myself. As a warrior, it is important to make sure that one is trained and ready for battle whenever necessary, but more notice would have been nice. In my opinion, they can beat each other up all they want as long as no one gets caught in the crossfire and they don't kill each other.

I'm not dumb enough to get close to that kind of fight for fun - but I guess I'd better go make sure everyone who is doesn't get hurt.

[herofhopeless]

Any little bit helps. Please stay safe.

[twin_blade]

In my experience, the only good dragon is a dead dragon. Are you sure they can be trusted not to harm anyone?

(ooc: Vax no Vax dont)

[herofhopeless]

Dion is one of the most upstanding men I have ever had the pleasure to know. He wouldn't do anything to intentionally harm innocents. I'll be right here to help make sure things don't get out of hand.

[It's the knight he should be worried about.]

@jaycetalis; audio

[hexcope]

It has to be Ochreward? Can't it be somewhere my forge isn't?

audio

[herofhopeless]

I'm just the messenger. Honestly, you're only knowing about 5 minutes after I was told. Where is your forge? I'll try and put up a barrier of some kind. Can't make any promises.

Pretty much.

Where would one find Ochreward, just so I know to avoid it?

[ Spoiler: He's not going to avoid it. ]

[herofhopeless]

Pretty sure there is a map accessible on our devices. If you're going to go over there know that you do so at your own risk. The hospital has been warned that there may be injuries and potential casualties since apparently everyone here thinks "there is a deadly battle happening stay away from it to stay safe" means come out for a fucking picnic.

Would it be possible to ask them both to keep an eye out for a red chocobo? I'm pretty sure its mostly on its own, but it's kind of grumpy and territorial.

video

[herofhopeless]

The red chocobo is out there?

[Fuck.]

They probably wouldn't even be able to see it. When I say 'giant' I mean humans would be the size of a grain of rice to them. An ant at best. I'll try to keep an eye out for it, but I don't think it would appreciate me getting in its space.

I have a question.

What is it? I'll answer to the best of my ability.

[futuremessiah]

What do you mean, it wouldn't be a fun event to gawk at? Sounds like a perfect thing to watch, especially as it shows off their combat skills.

Voice

[herofhopeless]

I'm saying it is dangerous to be anywhere near here while this happens. You could be killed levels of dangerous. Please stay home.

[ Shigeru freaking out because oh my god?? ]

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

[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.
