[ It's midday out in the Wilds, a turnskin woman setting down her device to record on a nearby surface before stepping back and sitting herself against a stone, a blood red spear rested against her shoulder, and face partially obscured by a mask. The darkness of her fur and clothes mixes with the stark shade of the canopy overhead, making it a little difficult to see her aside from the bit of face that's visible.

She speaks in a calm tone. ]


I've seen quite a few of the new visitors and seen there are quite a few among you that adept and strong. As well as folks who've been here some time already who could use something besides Shades to fight.

I propose, before all of this gets corrected, we have ourselves a bit of a bedlam, to enjoy ourselves as warriors and treat ourselves to some friendly fights and whiskey to share.

I don't doubt there's a lot of you that have had the same itch I've had. Particularly with the last moon phase being as it was.

Well, what say you, then? Shall we have a warrior's festival, before the month's end?

[Warrior's festival? Could anything possibly sound cooler??]

Count me in.

Count me SO IN for this.

[scatmaam]

Good, good. [ she chuckles. ] I rather like the enthusiasm.

Tell me a bit about yourself, warrior.

[marmoron]

sounds like a good time
you need help with preparations?

[scatmaam]

All I need are barrels of drink, glasses to serve them in, and perhaps a medic on standby.

I already know a damn good bartender. Know any good medics?

[Jill has all sorts of questions about this, and concerns. But she's not here to rain on her lover's, um, fun.]

Want me to contribute some of that whiskey?

[scatmaam]

I'll need someone to serve them, too. I can think of none better than you.

[futhark]

Sign me in. Is this going to be a free-for-all or some sort of tournament structure?

And if you want to reward the participants with not just whiskey but also food, I think I know someone who could arrange that.

[scatmaam]

Battle royale. [ A wild smirk. ] Last warrior standing takes the barrels.

[enkidoh]

I haven't had that itch, yet I would like food and drinks. So in exchange for that I will spar with others.

Will there be mutton as well?

[scatmaam]

Actually, I... didn't even think about food. Mostly because I just drank at the bedlams we used to have back in my day.

I suppose that would be important. I haven't the same connections to get food as I do whiskey, however.

[weiward]

Whiskey? That's alcohol, right?

[his puca senses are trying to tell him that this could be dangerous. but they spout that nonsense all the time lately. time for some defiance.]

I'm in.

[he should probably get a sword though...]

[scatmaam]

The alcohol of my homeland, though they make a fine enough version of it here.

Tell me about yourself, warrior.

voice; I HAD TO

[taciturnly]

( because his witchy senses also tell him that this could be dangerous. ) Queen of Dun Scaith, apologies. ( y'know. for intruding.

a breath, and then. ) Wei Ying. ( a picture may be worth a thousand words, but two syllables shouldn't be underestimated. )

Voice

[inlikethebrume]

[Hey, this sounds a bit familiar but with less death. Besides, this sounds strangely fun.]

Haven't participated in something like this for awhile. Count me in.

Re: Voice

[scatmaam]

A good, friendly brawl keeps the skills sharp, and the blood hot. If a warrior goes too long without fighting, we get a bit difficult to deal with.

video.

[monotonality]

...a fight, huh?

[Her reddish-pink eyes gleam with a hint of interest.]

Guess I have been getting kind of rusty.

[scatmaam]

A blade left to rust is a shame, itself.

Tell me a bit of yourself, warrior.

[omnicrafter]

Ooh, hello. To say I've been eager for someone to spar with is an understatement. And drinks afterward sound excellent.

But if I may make a suggestion, you might want to recruit some volunteer healers for the aftermath, if not to participate. You're going to have a bunch of ailing warriors once everything is over with, no matter who wins, and gods help us if they're ailing too much to drink it off.

[scatmaam]

You think I'd not thought of that?

[ Her tone is a bit flat. Tread carefully. ]

If you know a good medic, suggest them.

[stopfen]

I wouldn't mind trying some of these combat sports I've been told about. I can't go out into the wilde but I'd like to keep my edge...

[Yess, proper training.]

Though I can't have whisky.

[scatmaam]

Can't have whiskey? You have some sort of curse, lass?

voice;

[darkcharge]

Now just what do you think my answer is going to be?

[scatmaam]

Were it anything besides an affirmative, I'd come drag you out, myself.

[needsteaplz]

[Saori and whiskey have never gotten along in the past, but the chance to learn more about how the others fight is too hard to pass up.]

Well, I suppose this is one way to blow off some steam. I can only do so much solo training without getting bored.

[scatmaam]

Precisely. Just striking a training dummy dulls the heart of a warrior. We prefer life threats, don't we?

[getting_better]

I'm down. Can I bring other spirits?

[scatmaam]

No tongue for whiskey, have you?
