4th Mishmash ~ [Video]

[comeonthensexy]

[ This message comes a decent while into the battle, once the Doctor’s gathered some info and gotten an idea of how the situation looks. He’s doing his best to look less tired and more determined, and probably doing a good job of it. ]

If there’s someone still out there who doesn’t want to fight, you can find shelter in Folkvang, the spa in the Freya district. I can help you there, if you’d like, just ask. Or yell at me, or demand it, I’ll probably help you no matter what. With anything, not just getting you to safety.

The Doctor, that's me. So you know.

[ A slow breath. ]

This is war. If there’s anyone here who’s still got some fairytale-like idea of what war is, I’m telling you to reconsider it now, because it’s easy to hold onto that until you truly see it yourself. There’s no glory in war. None. All the heroics they talk about, the medals and pretty speeches, they’re not worth anything.

This is messy, devastating, people are going to get hurt and people will die. It’s not a possibility – it’s fact.

But there won’t be much time to mourn; you’ll have to do that later. If the battle can be cut short, it will be, but until then, you’re going to have to choose to fight or not, you’re going to have to look after yourselves, and more importantly each other. We’re in this together. It won’t be easy, but this is about your lives.

There will be healers out on the battlefield and there’s treatment to be found in the Arena if you get hurt or find someone who’s hurt. If someone’s hurt, protect them. We’re on the defensive side here, so let’s play that role to its fullest. You’re amazing, incredible, beautiful people, so you have something to defend. And there is glory in defending your lives and those you care about.

Good luck.

[that was very rousing and all but]

Where are you, Doctor?

[she looks tired, dirty, but a bit relieved. she's been in the thick of it for awhile, without seeing many people she recognized]

[video]

[comeonthensexy]

The Arena, for now. Are you doing all right?

[video]

[hollowchild]

Ah, I'm not so far away, and I'm well enough. Is there any food to spare?

[video]

[comeonthensexy]

There should be. Does that mean you're coming here?

[video]

[hollowchild]

Mm. It shouldn't take too long to get back.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

Any tips for fighting defensively...? [Because she's never been in a war before, but she's intent on helping out with healing on the battlefield.]

[Audio]

[comeonthensexy]

It's about holding your ground. We need to keep them out of the city.

I can't say I'm much of a war strategist, I'm afraid.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

But it sounds like you know a lot about war.

[Audio]

[comeonthensexy]

I do. I've seen enough of it. That's not the same as knowing exactly what to do.

I need to do more thinking. But I'm more about stopping wars than fighting them.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

[More about stopping them than fighting them...?]

Isn't that the same thing?

[In this situation, your wise words have earned her respect. And well, it's war--Kuroneko has no time to be Little Miss Snarker, and she's also worried about her best friend with her.]

How will you guarantee our safe journey to Folkvang?

[comeonthensexy]

I know the city and this wouldn't be the first time I've been in threatening situations. You'd just have to trust me.

text

[supurrior]

Such a shaky basis for trust. But there is strength in numbers, so I will make a request anyways. Would you mind helping out a friend?

text

[comeonthensexy]

Yes, there is.

Who's the friend?

[supurrior]

Kirino Kousaka, in Freya.

She's stupid enough to want to get to my room in Hel by herself, so go help her.

[nukeoleptic]

It's going to be alright. We're going to win this.

[ She is fifteen and equipped with fluffy dog ears but absolutely and terribly earnest. ]

[video]

[comeonthensexy]

[ And he's not about to doubt that. ]

Right you are.

At least, you're not going to lose.

[video]

[nukeoleptic]

That's what winning is, as far as I'm concerned.

[video]

[comeonthensexy]

Ah, but sometimes things end without anyone winning exactly. Which you can argue is a victory in itself, in which case I applaud you for that sort of view.

[video]

[nukeoleptic]

[ She grins a little, the expression lopsided. ]

That's a pretty convoluted way to talk about anything.

[Dean's dropped a ways back from the front lines, enough to regain his energy and check in with the city. The Doctor's post catches his eye enough to warrant a quick conversation. Defense can be as important as offense, after all.]

Got people defending you? [Meaning Folkvang but talk is cheap and time is money in times like this.]

video;

[comeonthensexy]

Me? I don't need defending.

[ Might want to be a bit more clear with your words, bro. That's the way to quick conversations. ]

[sonofabitch]

I meant Polvanwhatever. Is it protected?

[comeonthensexy]

Well then why don't you say so? It's Folkvang. I believe it is.

[sonofabitch]

Let them know that Dean Winchester can help them out if they need it.
