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.]

Pretty much.

And the guy with more hormones than sense.

[He will never get over that but in the best way.]

1/2

( This isn't beating that off the cuff remark, and is in the vein she intended: that much of a fighting edge and testosterone, okay. )

So your friends group casually turns into kaiju, plus that guy?

2/2

[reincarnesiac]

Kaiju meaning extremely large and powerful creatures, usually considered monsters. It's an entertainment thing from my Earth. Even our biggest Wanderers don't get quite to kaiju levels of large.

[herofhopeless]

Then yeah, there is a kaiju battle happening and everyone is being very stupid about it. Please don't come here, Alex. I need you to stay safe.

[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.

[herofhopeless]

And I will have answers.

Thank you, Alex. I feel like I am going to need a week long nap after today.

[reincarnesiac]

Oh, I'll be looking forward to that.

Can't imagine why! Seems so restive, having people go hard at each other while larger than most buildings around here while the curious and the safety-minded flood the region. Public safety is always a hell of a thing.

Ask for a massage and drink after you wake up. I figure at least the friend one of those two will owe you.

[herofhopeless]

Remind me to think things through more when someone asks for a last minute favor. [He says as if he'd ever say no.]

I think I am just going to leave people to their own devices. I've done what I can. It's not my fault people are acting recklessly and I can't let it be my fault.

[Clive laughs at the mental image of Dion giving him a massage.]

We'll see. I can always just go sit in the sauna.

[reincarnesiac]

I can, but will that really change what you'd do? I know it wouldn't for me.

( There's a certain rush right in energy that feels pretty similar, albeit Alex has a feeling her social media handling skills are probably higher. ... Because she actually grew up with social media. )

I'll remind you of that too — you don't have control over what anyone but yourself chooses to do. You offered a heads up so people can keep safe, people made their own decisions based on that. If some wanted to come watch, that's on them, not on you.

Oh, a sauna! Saunas count. Make sure to sweat everything out and then run around outside and jump into something cooler for the whole experience. Or is it beating yourself with birch branches? Maybe both... Really, just take care of yourself too, okay?
