[OTA] I am my own man, I make my own luck
Who: Adalwolfe Hawke and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes; Three Twins lab
When: Fight: evening of 9/8; the rest: 9/9
Pay Per View; The Fight
((ooc: This fight was broadcast and a ticketed Moxie event, so feel free to have your character have seen it))
Adalwolfe may be a mage but he's never let that mean he's allowed to grow complacent physically. For all he could just stand back and fling spells, Hawke makes sure he keeps in excellent shape. Maybe it's vanity, maybe it has to do with years of apostasy, but when the show starts and he's brought into the ring, shirtless and with his hair tied back, it's clear that he's definitely not a sit in a library all day studying and forget to eat sort of mage.
But that doesn't mean he's any good at hand to hand fighting.
True, he's gotten into many a scrap even before he had his magic, and the times after it was always more imperative that he hide his abilities than win the fight, but when he beats his mountain of an opponent - a man who seems to be made of one large muscle. (Adalwolfe's reminded of a hornless, hairless Arishok with this guy's stature and reach and it brings back some nasty memories. Makes the scar on his abdomen twinge.) - it's only by the skin of his teeth and he doesn't escape unscathed by a long shot.
When the ref raises his arm with the triumphant announcement of his victory, Hawke is covered in nasty red and purple bruises and bleeding from more then a few impact wounds, especially on his face. He can't quite make out the crowd for the triple vision he's seeing them in through his one good eye. The other is swollen shut and there's blood across his nose, in his eyes, and in his mouth, but he still won. And with no magic at all.
He hits the surface of the ring with a goofy grin on his face and passes out.
Recovery; Action
When he comes to, he feels like one giant bruise. Before even opening his eyes, Adalwolfe groans and tries to move an arm in order to... he's not sure, but after half a second he decides that's not a good idea thanks to the shooting pain that fireworks into a grinding agony in his shoulder. Best to leave that for Anders to look at. Best to leave everything for Anders to look at, by the feel of it.
At the very least he cracks one eye open to see where he is, surprised that he feels glad to see the inside of the Three Twins lab. He'd spent too much time in here already fretting but it sure beats a jail cell. Guess they really did release him after he won. Awesome.
If anyone comes in within the next few hours, he'll be in the same position; stretched out on one of the beds looking like an abused piece of produce. It's not so bad as he'd appeared at the end of the broadcasted fight though, and in fact lessons as the day goes on; someone's clearly been caring for him. The cut across his nose remains, however, at his insistence. It makes him look cool.
Care to visit the invalid? Admonishments expected, well wishes appreciated.
Aftermath; Network Video
[Later, when Adalwolfe's recovered enough to leave the med bay and can move without anything more than dull aching thanks to the TLC from his favorite healer, he finally locates his communicator and pops on the network. He's still graced with that stupid split across the bridge of his nose burning an angry red, but at least his eye isn't swollen shut anymore and most of the other evidence of his hard-won boxing match has faded.
Wolfe grins a tired grin out at the rest of the fleet, pleased at himself for having gotten out of all that, though there's a little disappointment lurking behind his expression. He was in prison the last few days and then forced to fight for his freedom, so he's been completely out of the loop. And then Anders told him he'd missed facing off against a dragon. That would have been way better than a boxing match against the not!Arishok.]
So... what'd I miss? I hear there's a dragon, is everyone okay?

So... what'd I miss? I hear there's a dragon, is everyone okay?

[He didn't get the option of bail. Maybe they just thought he'd put up a good fight, who knows.]
Well, whatever. I bet I'll get a lot of coin for all that from sponsors. Everyone loves a good fight. What's your name, by the way?
video;
I'm Finn, Security Officer on the Caprine. Good to meet you.
video;
[He shifts, uncomfortable in his bed, but he can't really get up the state he's in. Or well he could, but it would hurt worse than the benefit would be.]
Good to meet you too, Finn. Normally I'm communications on the First Breath but I spend a lot more time on the Three Twins lately.
[Maybe a bit too much information but he's a little out of it thanks to just getting beaten up not too long ago.]
video;
Yeah? You thinking about transferring? I used to hang out on the Golden, but then we needed a pilot so I asked my friend to come over instead.
video;
[He wants to though. Maker, does he ever want to.]
Your friend's a pilot?
video;
[Once a smuggler, always a smuggler.]
Yeah. Like, I got some friends on other ships too, but the Caprine's where I like it the most. If Poe wanted to transfer, though? I'd be right there with him.
video;
video;
Since the hand-holding planet, yeah. Made it kind of hard not to notice things, if you know what I mean.
video;
[He smiles warmly. Love is something he really enjoys seeing in other people, and Finn clearly is smitten with his pilot.]
Congratulations. I hope you didn't have too much trouble winning him over. Or was it the other way around?
video;
It was pretty much mutual, but I had to be comfortable first. Never dated anyone before, I mean.
video;
video;
video;
[He chuckles, then winces, rubbing his chest through his shirt a bit with his good hand.]
Easier than dating, though much less fulfilling in the long run.
video;
Exactly. And Poe was already the best friend I had here before. This is--it's the nest step, if you know what I mean.
[
Really, the most significant thing that had changed when they started dating was that they didn't leave their pants on at night anymore.]video;
[He smiles softly, glancing out of frame briefly, and then looking back at Finn.]
I'd never met anyone like him. He had this light about him, I don't know. It's silly, but even with all the chaos in our lives, most of which we bring on ourselves, there's still this sense of peace when it's us.
[He wonders if its like that for Finn and Poe too, though he hesitates to ask when he's really only just met the guy. Still, there's a bit of a questioning look on his face.]
video;
See, we tend to get into more trouble together than apart. But I don't mind. He hasn't led me wrong yet.
video;
Oh, no, we get in our share of trouble, it's just like what you said though. You don't mind it, when you care about the person you're in trouble with.
[I'd drown us both in blood just to keep you safe. Maybe not the most romantic thing Anders has ever said to him, but it's certainly illustrative of their relationship.]
Re: video;
[And in a way that applies to Rey as much as to Poe. He cares greatly about both of them, even if it's in different ways.]
video;
[He grins tiredly.]
So where are you from?
video;
Last, before I got here? D'Qar, in the Ilenium system. I traveled a lot--ever hear of Coruscant?
video;
[He laughs a bit, a breathy thing so he doesn't jostle himself too much.]
I should have known better than to ask when we're all from scattered universes.
video;
But I guess for a lot of people, this is pretty different?
video;
[Everyone but Crowley, or maybe Hermione.]
Must have been easier to adjust though, knowing all the technology already. We have nothing like this where I'm from.
video;
[There are some people who don't seem surprised by anything, but at least knowing space is something Finn's got to rely on.]
The hard part, I gotta say, is how these ships are really badly designed by my standards. They could break down any time and we don't have the resources to fix 'em. Dependent on the Marsiva for that.
video;
[Not at all, in fact. He doesn't know the first thing about aerospace engineering. The only way people can get airborne in Thedas is via catapult, let alone leave the atmosphere. To hear someone from a space-faring world doesn't think these ships are good? It makes him nervous.]
...We're not going to spring a leak and let out all the air, are we?
