warforged | [OPEN] The Redsworn Reception

Who: The Redsworn of Ruby Sanctum + Guests [OPEN TO ALL FLIGHTS]
What: ~~Carolina~~ The Redsworn have invited everyone to dinner! Let's see how well diplomatic relations between the flights can be improved, eh?
Where: The Ruby Sanctum
When: Forward dated to 6th June.
Warnings: Fires, ~~food poisoning~~ cooking for all, shenanigans, possible bad language.
OOC: Come gets some cross-flight CR! c: Some setting options below the cut, or go ahead and make your own.

A: COOKING FIRE SHENANIGANS

Feeling peckish? Have a delivery to make? Or just want to try your own hand at serving up some grub? The Redsworn's usual cooking area has been expanded for the evening, with two extra firepits dug out to cater for additional mouths. Over one fire burns the now "traditional" starter meat of bear flank, something any newly sworn (red or otherwise) will have the pleasure of sampling first. There's also several baskets of berries, fruit and vegetables, while a pot obtained in trade from Silverglen bubbles merrily.

B: FIRESIDE MINGLE

The redsworn of the Ruby Sanctum have claimed a corner of their own beneath one of the larger trees. There's a smaller fire here set for warmth and ambience, and have logs set about for seating for those who don't like perching on rocks or roots, or don't find the comfy grass comfy - park yourself and have a chat!

C: OPEN/MISC.

Choose Your Own Adventure! Just remember: wander alone at your own risk, non-redsworn, for the Red Dragonflight will have their eye on you.

They were able to handle it because they took advantage of the opportunity they were offered to prove themselves regardless of what they did or didn't know about why.

Being annoyed is one thing; insisting you need something more before doing anything is another.

Woah, woah, I never said I needed it before I could or would do anything. I'm just saying it would make things easier if I knew and I feel like we should have the information since our lives were on the line. Stop putting words into my mouth.

And the Sin'thalas elves never offered those they captured or any of the rest of us any chance to prove ourselves. It was full-on hatred there, and I'd like to know why. You can't fault me for that.

Then why waste your breath complaining and dwelling on what's already happened? And if you knew, what difference would it make? Do you think they would hate you less simply because you knew why they hated you? Do you think that knowledge will allow you to force them to reach an understanding with you?

There's no question that it's ideal to be well-informed, but there's no point wasting time and energy chasing after fruitless pursuits.

Are you seriously going to stand here and tell me you've never in your life bitched about something you didn't like shortly after you learned you didn't like it? I just got done talking to Alexstrasza.

.....

*...yeah that's just getting a flat stare; does he LOOK like the type who actually confides his frustrations in other people like that??*

Of course not. You probably enjoy watching paint dry, too. [She rolled her eyes.]

*is just going to ignore that*

So what do you plan to do about things?

Secure my flight's position in this world by establishing a base to work from that won't put the Emerald Sanctum in jeopardy to conduct precision strikes against Legion forces. I'd like the other flights to do the same so we're assaulting the Legion on multiple fronts, but I'm not counting on that.

[Said without hesitance. Despite Rose's bitching earlier, she knows what she wants to do.]

What are you planning on doing?

Evaluating our strengths, weaknesses, and resources to determine a plan of action.

*because first things first, after all*

And of course, learning what I can here.

[One the benefits of having a very small number of Greensworn - probably the only benefit - was that she'd already figured out most of that stuff Geddoe was working on. Unless he was referring to all of the dragonsworn. But he was probably more cautious (and experienced) than Rose was. She tended to be impulsive.]

Vastania of the Red Flight knows the most about the Burning Legion. The Red Flight also seems to have the most dragonsworn that are familiar with Azeroth and the greatest numbers.

*Geddoe's flight is small as well, but he took a somewhat extended absence from it in order to test some of his own capabilities, which meant he wasn't as on top of the rest yet as he could be. ...and, of course, he probably is quite a bit more cautious and all*

I plan to speak with those who seem on top of things here.

Do you know anything about the other two flights?

The only contact I've had with the Bronze is this dragonsworn of theirs called the Doctor. He's kind of nuts and unpredictable. The Black flight... I'm not sure what to think about them. Sometime in my gut says to be wary of them, but there are a couple I've met that seem legit.

They were the two flights unaffected by the lies spread in Silverglen, as well. It may be worth learning to what degree they're learning to cooperate, if they're on friendlier terms with the elves.

The Black Flight actually benefited from that whole Silverglen thing. They weren't welcome before. Then again, neither was your flight, but you had a couple people accused. None of the Blacksworn were.

Of the Black Flight, I get along with Apollo and Riven isn't too bad. Being a man, you might manage to get help from Qilby. He comes off too much to me as a creepy old man despite seeming to be nice and helpful. [But that's was because he reminded her too much of some of the older Moroi Rose has had to deal with.]

*nods, though raises an eyebrow at that last part*

Qilby? Jacques mentioned hearing of him. Which one is he?

*of course, by "Jacques mentioned" Geddoe means he got that information after asking him a good two dozen questions about the whole Silverglen affair, but details!*

[Rose points out where Qilby was talking to one of the Redsworn.]

He's the old man over there talking to Kaneis by the fire.

...I see. I'll have to try to speak with him later.

If you manage to get any information from him, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know.

All right.

*he might even make an effort to get it to you directly rather than asking Jacques to relay it or such*

....so a part of me keeps picturing Rose later complaining to Jacques about Geddoe XD

She probably will. He's a great listener. :P

That he is. He hardly even talks back at all!

He's her fav flightmate. Then again, she also assumes silence = consent.

Poor Jacques
