Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Windrose
When: now

[Look, someone is actually taking it easily, making notes and recording everything that happened lately so he can go through it all later and pick thing apart.]

I'm probably looking too much into this but-

[He shifts, wincing slightly as he sits more upright.]

We're here for entertainment right? Could Atroma have staged that attack? It doesn't seem like they gave a damn during the attack and, I mean, the Marsiva wasn't touched, was it? What would be more entertaining for people than seeing us all in real danger?

If they're willing to just kidnap us, they wouldn't be above this!

Are you usually security or a soldier where you come from?

[He can believe those would be helpful. He's glad he has magic, his weapons are always a part of him.]

I've only been here a couple months but our communicators make it easy to contact the rest of the fleet, communications officers I'm sure can help with coordination. It seems doable.

[stormfist]

Yeah. A Guardian. What about you? Seems like you know your way around a fight.

[ Well, the news that it's doable is enough of a relief to make her crack a small smile. ]

[touchallthebooks]

[Look at his expression change to surprise.] A... A Guardian? There's more than one where you come from?

[Right. What does he do.] I was the Guardian Novitiate on Azeroth. The Guardian's duty is to protect the world.

[stormfist]

[ Blink! ]

Yeah. There are a lot of us - especially in recent years, my Ghost says.

[ She misses that little fusspot... Ah well. ]

Novitiate... like, training? Don't have something like that in my world - not really. I'm from... what's left of Earth. Guardians protect the last remaining city on Earth from the invading Darkness.

... Still. Nice to meet a fellow Guardian. [ Even if it's not quite the same thing! ]

[touchallthebooks]

Training, yeah. Exactly. Although, I renounced my vows. [Nervous smile.] I never imagined a world where there could be more than one Guardian. Our Guardian just protects our world from anything that threatens it.

[The 'what's left of Earth' is a little disheartening.] I'm sorry about your world. Is there anything that can be done?

[stormfist]

[ Oh dang. She frowns, actually looking a little concerned. ]

Just one Guardian to protect the whole world? Hell of a lot of responsibility for one person... [ ... And then that concern turns to sass. ] Everyone else too busy to help? Just want to let someone else handle the problems? Hm. Don't blame you for renouncing your vows.

[ At the mention of her own world, she shakes her head. ] My world... we're trying. Pushing back the Darkness where we can. We finally seem to be making progress recently, but we've got a really long way to go.

[touchallthebooks]

"No mage shall be your peer; none, your master. Your responsibility will be absolute." Every novitiate hears it. At least I think so, it sounded practiced when I heard it. The most powerful was expected to take on the responsibility, I thought it should be the responsibility of all Azeroth.

[He could probably handle it, especially since he apparently becomes and Archmage.]

At least you've made progress. If I ever get the chance to see Earth, at least I know your Guardians are protecting your world and winning.

[stormfist]

[ That may be true! But, well, can versus should... and frankly: ]

I think I agree with you. Not sure how big Azeroth is, but since I'm guessing it's not just one city block? Bet it could stand to have more defense than one person.

[ But she does manage a bit of a smile at the mention of protecting Earth. She's proud she can do her part, after all. ]

Thank you. Like I said, long way to go. But if you get to see it? I'll show you around.

[touchallthebooks]

No, that's the entire world. [heh] You're definitely not wrong.

Maybe but you have to start somewhere though, right? I'm sure you'll all get there.
