Who: Allen Walker
Broadcast: Video
Action: Solrius
When: 9/7
[Allen looks like he's planet-side on Solrius. He doesn't look injured, but he sure looks like this hasn't been the best of weeks. The area behind him? Looks like it just got hit by a snowstorm and a tornado, all at once.]
Hey! There's a dragon running loose on Solrius- a dangerous one, not a nice one! He's traveling with a man and they're causing damage! If you have information about either of them or their location, please tell me!
If you can fight? Please consider coming down here to protect the local villages! Don't try to take the dragon and the man on by yourself. Otherwise? I suggest traveling elsewhere!
[OOC: If you want to have an encounter with the dragon here's the log! The dragon will be defeated on the 11th. If you really want your character to be on Solrius and NOT encounter the dragon, that's fine too- it's a big planet! ]

Mikleo...he went ahead before I got there.
video;
[He pinches the bridge of his nose, eyes shut tight, the name sounding frustrated and pained. He knows what that means, that... he'll likely have to be taken down. Clay still doesn't even know what he actually looks like, but it still makes his chest ache.
Dammit, Mikleo, why didn't you wait...?]
Is - Is there anything I can do?
[Not fight, of course, he wouldn't suggest that. But it feels awful to just sit there instead.]
video;
[It hurts, to think that Mikleo is gone. No, he's worse than gone- he's been corrupted into a monstrosity that he'd never want to be]
I don't know. I'm just...[He sighs and shakes his head. He's tired. It's been a long, long week and it's only halfway through]
video;
[He sounds tired, too. Not as much as Allen, but this is just... so stressful, all of it, even everything that happened before this. And that tone of Allen's just makes him want to fly up and hold him, hold him until it's all over.
But he can't. Clay's stuck here, and - dammit, he should've at least offered to drive or something - ]
I'm sorry too.
video;
[Except...he was still human, too. Sorey was a powerful reminder not to forget that.]
...Hey. It's going to be dark soon, and I could probably use a real night sleep.
video;
[Ah, but he gets it after that. He wouldn't have worded it that way if Allen had meant he was just signing off for the night.
"Are you sure?", Clay almost asks. They know what happened to Sorey and Mikleo now, know that they're on Solrius, so shouldn't they get back to work?
But... it's true; Allen is only human, and while Clay doesn't know the specifics behind why Sorey turned malevolent, he certainly knows the boundaries of human beings and what can happen if one pushes it too much. He doesn't want Allen to lose himself in his job, especially when this one in particular is taking so much out of him. And on a smaller yet no less important note, Allen definitely needs as much of a comfortable sleep as he can get to face off against a dragon.
And... heck, Clay needs a break too. Spending the night with Allen before he has to go off for real is like a blessing in disguise.]
... Yeah, okay. You've got the coordinates?
video;
[Sending the coordinates now]
video;
Okay, got it. It'll take me a couple of hours, but I'll be there.
[Indeed, he gets up to already start packing for the night.]
Anything you need while I'm here?
video;
[Since he knows there's no point searching the place after dark. He'd be at too much of a disadvantage]
Well...some food would be nice! And...maybe a change of clothes, I didn't exactly plan on being out this long.
video;
[And, you know, despite how horrible everything is, Clay still finds it in him to give a grin and a little salute, then turn off the video feed. After that, he'll move to get some food ready and find some of Allen's clothes that... well, Allen's probably left over here, let's be honest.]
video;
[Allen a few hours later will be at the rendezvous point, or the spot that Allen had broadcasted from. Sure enough the place really does look as bad as the video made it seem- like it had been hit by a tornado, a monsoon and a snowstorm all at the same time. There were giant footprints embedded in the damp ground, and there's a few dead animals scattered here and there along with fallen trees - many who look like they've been sliced apart by claws.]
[Allen is actually nearby at the river running by the area. It took looks like it's seen better days, but it's good enough that Allen's taking the chance to wash off any dirt and blood that's gotten on him the past day]
action;
When Clay exits the shuttle, he looks around, a cringe on his face from just how much destruction happened. It's even worse knowing that it's all coming from Sorey and Mikleo - well, pretty much just Mikleo, he guesses. He ambles towards Allen, having seen him while landing, but he looks all around at his surroundings as well. The animals make something turn in his stomach, and the trees... just the fact that they've all been torn apart so carelessly by two people who loved nature.
He was just here a week ago, how could this have happened...?
When he pays attention to Allen again, he rubs at the back of his neck, feeling uncomfortable with all the destruction and death around them.]
Hey you.
action;
Hey you.
[And yeah don't think he doesn't notice the expression on his face]
Are you feeling okay?

[Crap. He should've encrypted it. He takes a moment and a breath]
I'm sorry...it's, it's hard to explain but...
He's the dragon.
video;
[It comes out not as a forceful exclamation but a breathy whisper. He cannot believe that his nature spirit friend, so gentle and playful with his magic, so thoughtful in trying to help Belthazar despite being unable to pull himself away from malevolence, could... be a dragon.]
How-- [No, that's not important.] Is there a way to calm him down? To turn him back? It's just a shapeshifting spell, isn't it? I-I'm sure I can reverse it if you give me some time!
video;
No, I'm afraid it's not a shapeshifting spell. When a Seraph becomes a dragon...it means they've become corrupted beyond saving. He was exposed to too much Malevolence- dark energy.
...I'm sorry.
video;
Beyond saving.]
I... I don't understand. He was trying to get away from it! I helped him, and then when I wrote him he was recovered--
[He feels like he's going to be sick. Everyone around him keeps dying. This must be terrible for Mikleo's friends, too-- terrible for Allen. Belth should be strong, and he's trying, but all he can manage is covering his mouth with both hands and trying not to scream.]
video;
[He's not sure what else to say. Since really, there was no good news to this]
He was trying to help a dear friend who'd been corrupted...he was very brave.
video;
He swallows thickly and pulls his hands away from his face. Thankfully, his cheeks are dry.]
Allen, can you... make sure that he doesn't suffer?
video;
Yes, I will. At the very least, I'll make sure his soul finds salvation and can rest.
video;
[He swallows thickly. Mikleo can't be much older than him, nature spirit or no. Maybe he'll come back. Maybe he'll come back uncorrupted.]
He... might come back, you know. Syeira did. There should be a way to save him then.
video;
Possibly, yes.
[He can't deny that. It is a possibility. Yet-]
But I'm afraid discussing options with resurrection is taboo for me.
video;
Oh, I-- I'm sorry. I know that-- that it is not something we should put hope in. My time in Exsilium taught me that. I just...
[He swallows thickly.]
Never mind.
video;
It's fine.
Let's take things one step at a time, okay? That might make it easier.
