May the odds...
Characters: Minglelog for anyone not involved in the event
Setting: During the first part of the event, in the media room or near any terminal
Format: Whatever!
Summary: As Ruana's chosen dogs set out to hunt and/or run, the rest of the tower watches.
Warnings: very possibly mentions of violence and character death? Will update as needed!
[Sometimes in the morning, strange events start to be broadcasted to the screens of the media room and the terminal, showing familiar faces, though some maybe in not quite so familiar get-ups. Looks like Ruana's game is just about to start!]

[A pause.]
Rularuu?
no subject
[David's expression takes on a darker look.]
Rularuu tried to break out a few years ago, an' more recently a mage had dis crazy scheme to try an' assimilate Rularuu into himself. An' he killed two of da world's strongest heroes tryin' to do it.
no subject
[Honestly, Reno isn't surprised by the story, and he just shakes his head.]
I'm really startin' to not get why people do things like that. I mean I get the thrill of power but there's gotta be a line drawn somewhere.
no subject
[David shakes his head, remembering just what it was Primal Earth lost thanks to Darrin Wade's crazy scheme.]
Far as I know, he was obsessed with tryin' to defy his nature as a "mere human." Killin' Statesman an' Sister Psyche an' takin' dier powers was bad enough—but to think he actually had a chance of takin' over dat dimension-eatin' abomination— ...
[David cuts himself off, spending a moment to fume silently.]
I gotta tell ya, Reno—first day I was here an' I got told all dis stuff about dat thing killin' off all our worlds? I thought it was 'cause Rularuu got loose.
no subject
Yeah, I get it now.
[But that's more to the 'defying a human nature.' Humans have a great capacity for screwball...]
I don't blame ya. I'd be confused too if Jenova was universe eating instead of planet eating.
no subject
[Another humorless laugh from David. Though the name gets him curious.]
Dat Jenova thing related to da apocalypse stuff you told me about before?
no subject
[Reno's train of thought got crossed, and he's blinking while trying to catch up.]
Oh, yeah. Sort of. We had a planetary crisis several times within a couple years. Jenova and Zirconiade weren't really related, but they had the same MO.
no subject
[David gives Reno a sympathetic grin, though a little tired-looking one. After all, Reno's probably had his days where he wished the world would "stay saved."]
no subject
Yeah. Got any more questions?
no subject
[David turns back to the reports, glancing through them to see if there's any immediate questions about them he might have. Though, he has questions unrelated to them to ask Reno.]
'Kay, about dis Ragnarok an' Pandora thing—is helpin' you guys out an' "either/or" kinda deal?
no subject
[Reno pauses, then adds;]
Pandora kinda got started by Dax. Ragnarok is... more along bein' neutral. We've been lied to so many times it's kinda hard to trust anything, though we got to in some cases.
no subject
[That honestly surprises David. An admin founding a resistance against the admins. He didn't register the "kinda" there, but that can be chalked up to his surprise over hearing an admin's involvement in any fashion.]
So I guess Ragnarok's kinda like da backup safety, den. In case Dax's stuff turns out to be all a trick?
no subject
[He points at the report with Dax's research.]
That had something to do with it. You'd have to ask Enoch. I don't know 'bout it being a trick, he's the one that got the holographic stuff to glitch, but I don't know what his agenda was and considering how fucking weird the administrators are it could be anything.
[He chuckles.]
I'm one of the most pessimistic people 'bout Dax in the whole Tower, so I'm probably biased.
no subject
[Though, thinking back to when he worked with Crimson and Indigo, a lot of the missions they sent David on involved taking advantage of Malta Group's tendency to be paranoid. Mind games, in which he was an instrument.]
Next time I see Enoch I'll ask 'em about it. Well, when we're somewhere safe.
[He hopes Reno's not letting himself get too worked up on Dax ...]
I never heard about dat kitchen, by da way. Man, if I'd knew? I wouldn't be skippin' dinner all dis month.
[He doesn't care if it's just edible film or whatever disguising oatmeal and nutrition bars—he will not eat human hearts and drink blood.]
no subject
no subject
Think I'll manage.
[Seriously, he loves himself a good gyro. Or burger. Or pizza.]
no subject
[David gets a light fistbump in the shoulder.]
Oh yeah, I almost forgot... you said you wanted to learn more 'bout hand to hand fighting?
no subject
[Reno's question snaps David's attention back to the here and now, though. He looks to Reno more directly.]
Yeah. Gonna have to, if I'm gonna try an' pull my weight here in da Tower.
no subject
[Pausing a moment, Reno goes over the information he wants to give...]
Best person I can direct ya to is Diarmuid. He sort of runs a few classes here. I can teach ya myself, but it depends on what you want to learn.
[His eyes flick over the reports on the desk, and he frowns. He'll have to talk to Diarmuid about getting a copy of the willing to teach roster up here.]
Diarmuid's got a whole list of other people though, you'll talk to him anyway to fill in what I can't. I do martial arts and blunt clubs, he's got swords and lances and he dual wields, but if ya don't mind just learning basics, y'might try asking Xion or Shion. They're students but they got basics down.
[What else?]
Y'know about unlocking real abilities, right? The collar fluid?
no subject
[David takes note of the other names mentioned, though, and nods, still listening to all of what Reno has to say before replying. Then, when Reno asks about the collar fluid, David speaks up.]
Naw, nobody told me about dat yet—wait, real abilities? Yer serious?
[He'll be hearing about the collar fluid again when he and Zelda run into each other in the void, but for now, consider David surprised.]
no subject
Yeah, long as they're part of your self, like magic or somethin', you get 'em back after some adjustment period. Your suit run on magic?
no subject
Eh—nah, I'ma Technology-origin hero. [A short beat later,] It won't work 'cept on Magic-origin types?
no subject
[A better way to put it...]
Basically, I kinda lose effectiveness against the monsters, but I'm more prone to gettin' screwed with. I'm figuring that's a fair trade off if it'll help the violets.
no subject
this monthFebruary.]—but hey, da Tower havin' less hold over me's somethin' to gain.[Speaking of ...]
Who's dem violets?
