4th Mishmash ~ [Video]

[ 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]

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.]

[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?

Ah, I'm not so far away, and I'm well enough. Is there any food to spare?
hollowchild: (there's a hollow at the end of the road)

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

Half an hour at the outside.

[she offers a quick, bare smile]

Don't worry, Doctor, I've survived worse.
hollowchild: (hold me to the flame)

[In the end it turns out that she cuts it close on her word, arriving only a little short of that half hour. It might be obvious she ran into something on the way, as she looks dirtier and is holding a black handkerchief against a cut on her forearm. All the same, he gets another one of those little smiles.]

Hello, Doctor.
hollowchild: (to let you see my heart again)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2012-11-04 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's not serious, just a little knick.

[It is quite a black handkerchief! And a hint at the reasoning for this might be on the hand holding it. Her skinned knuckles have scabbed awfully dark. If he actually tries for a look she's not going to resist him, though.]
hollowchild: (i did not come here for saving)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2012-11-04 11:14 am (UTC)(link)
[He gets the handkerchief, because she wasn't expecting that. She jerks like she's about to hide her arm out of instinct, and then suppresses the urge. It really isn't a serious cut, just a shallow slash across the top of her forearm. The part that she's trying to hide is that the blood oozing slowly from it is more black than red, a little pearly and ichorous. As it wells a bit, swirls of gold and crimson red become apparent in the black]

[The pain of him dragging his finger over a wound doesn't make her flinch, but him sticking it in his mouth does. Her blood doesn't taste very good. It's only the palest imitation of the stuff she's normally tainted with, but even still. The black tastes partially like blood and partially like things that are dark and cold and wet and slow, the red is burning and bitter, and the gold is metallic and flat. This is normally some seriously magical stuff, but not here.

She's human, mostly (technically 1/4 Elder Creature, but who's counting) for all that. And her expression is of someone preparing for disaster.]
hollowchild: (but i will follow deep as it goes)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2012-11-04 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Not the reaction she was expecting in the least. She lets him move her hand, almost numbly, completely confused. Honestly, she has no idea what to do with a neutral or accepting outcome.]

All...right.
hollowchild: (but perfectly real)

[personal profile] hollowchild 2012-11-04 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sophie is having trouble thinking of a time in the recent past where she's been more confused. But it's slowly dawning on her that this is good. When he suddenly turns around and claps she jumps, but the confused expression is replaced by a slow smile when he speaks. Whether he understands it exactly or not, he's letting her secret stay that way. That appreciation overrides her initial instinct to refuse healing]

We can give it a try.
occulthymns: (oh what marvelous things)

But it sounds like you know a lot about war.
