[ 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.

[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]

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

Tell me a bit about yourself, warrior.

[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?

[scatmaam]

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

[whydogs]

Sure thing, babe.

You sound, uh, pretty excited for this.

[scatmaam]

[ She can't help laughing. ]

You know me, by now. This is the sort of thing that gets my blood moving. I never grow tired of fighting.

[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.

[futhark]

That's the Best but—

gotta set some ground rules. One merrow or witch with the right specialization could put everyone to sleep

[scatmaam]

[ And like a switch, her eyes narrowed, taking up a familiar tone of contempt ] A witch like you? Don't you give me a reason to pinch your ears, Setanta, this is a warrior's battle. You'll conduct yourself AS a warrior or I'll have your ass.

[futhark]

[ Okay he just witches to video too. Just so he can scowl at the accusation ]

What? Fuck no— I want a good fight [ Don't kick him out of the fun before it even began!! ] All I'm saying you might want to consider something like... "no mass sleep spells or songs"

[ He's met enough of pranksters here to not be that trusting ]

[scatmaam]

If someone dares conduct themselves poorly, they'll have to answer to me.

[ God help them. ]

Have I ever seen you cut loose like that? Might be interesting to watch.

And I guess I should point out the obvious that I can only, um...

Be there at night.

[scatmaam]

Absolutely something I can manage. We'll light some torches. It'll be like an old fashioned war camp.

Romantic, in its own way. I hope you'll be ready to deal with me after I'm done kicking everyone's asses.

[whydogs]

I'll kiss your boo-boos and make them feel all better, you'll see.

[scatmaam]

Will you, now? I'll be holding you to that, then.

I've ordered a few barrels of the finest in town. They'll be the prize for the winner. But only I get to have you, of course.

[whydogs]

[If she was still alive, that last line right there would've gotten her heart going.]

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Love you.

[scatmaam]

Love you, too, my bonny girl. [ A wink. ]

Try not to break too many hearts at the bar. I'll already be breaking their faces.

[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.

to video!

[proudofme]

[Soren will fuss with his device a moment to pull it into the video mode. It feels weird to type at someone who is appearing with their face and all. He can do the same!

His eighteen year old baby face... and matching enthusiastic pride]

I'm Soren! Of the Katolis Crownguard. Best fighters in the whole human kingdoms, back home. And I was the youngest to ever be knighted as one.

[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...]

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.
