sometimes you can't make it

Who: Alexstrasza, Krasus/Korialstrasz, and the Redsworn
What: Successful retreat into the Ruby Sanctum
Where: Ruby Sanctum
When: After a long, grueling battle near the borders of Suramar
Warnings: Please PM the mods if any warnings are needed

[The Ruby Sanctum is a flurry of activity. This becomes clear within two seconds of stepping through the portal. The wounded are guided over to a grassy clearing surrounded by saplings and adolescent trees, bade to lay down and receive healing from other dragonkin. Some of the trees are years old, while a few look to have shot up recently. If you watch, vines engulf one fallen warrior; the body sinks into the ground, and a tiny sapling appears in its place.

Despite the war going on outside, the sanctum is less of a cavern and more like a self-contained dimension. Ample sunlight drifts down through scarlet leaves, which are occasionally home to the crimson scales of a whelpling. There is life everywhere: insects on twigs, birds chirping overhead, flowers at your feet. Dragon eggs lay nestled in the nooks and crannies offered by the tranquil forest. There is a decently-sized spring filled with fresh, pure water, as well as some small rocky outcroppings to sleep in. It's warm and comfortable enough to rest out in the open, too.

The cloaked and ever-mysterious Krasus stands watching the dispersing redsworn, his back against the massive oak in the center of the sanctum.

Occasionally, one may glimpse a beautiful red-haired woman with copper skin winding through the copse.]

[ooc: Mingle log for redsworn!]

Well, I'd agree inasmuch as they decided to go up against us. But they've been some fairly powerful and cunning idiots. I think you might be underestimating just how much the power of a Blood Knight can inflame the senses.

[And to be fair, Frieza did it for three different forms, so come on!]

I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't think any power of any kind of knight is going to do what you're suggesting. I think you're a little too big for your britches.

[The ever positive Saiyan. Yep.]

Well, I have been known to wear a plate dress on occasion, but I assure you these current set of pants fit just fine. [He patted the greaves reassuringly.] And they've seen me through plenty of fights, so I do think I know a thing or two.
misterbrief: (you're serious?)

/pats happens to the best of us

...

[Plate dress]

You wear a dress in battle.

[Yes this is what he caught onto in that sentence.]
seesbosscrotch: (approval)

[personal profile] seesbosscrotch 2014-04-16 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
On occasion! If it's demonstrably superior to the armor I had previously, why would I turn it down?
misterbrief: (you're lying)

You're not a woman, if you haven't noticed.

[Men in dresses. Men in dresses. That is absurd.]

Armored plate skirts or robes are a tradition of paladins on both sides of the war! Also, that's sexist. Women are allowed to wear pants!
misterbrief: (silently angry)

[personal profile] misterbrief 2014-04-18 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
What, of course they- [ANGER LEVEL RISING] you moron, that isn't what I was trying to say! I don't know what this paladin of yours is, but if I were one, I wouldn't be caught dead in a dress!

[Whoops Vegeta is a paladin he just doesn't know it yet]
seesbosscrotch: (approval)

[personal profile] seesbosscrotch 2014-04-19 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? They're stylish, protective, fashion-coordinated, and generally some of the strongest armor available!
misterbrief: (DISGUSTING)

Because...because that... [Oh he's getting really angry even imagining it!]

That is not a garment a Saiyan warrior wears into battle, that's why! [IT'S SO EMBARRASSING TO THINK ABOUT FOR HIM]
seesbosscrotch: (I'm a train)

[personal profile] seesbosscrotch 2014-04-21 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course a warrior wouldn't wear it! That sort of garment is generally reserved for Paladins, Vindicators, and Blood Knights, in keeping with our shared usage of the Light to augment our martial abilities.

[He sets back, looking disgusted.]

If that's your business, then fine. I don't care what it is that makes the use of a dress in battle effective, but I can tell you now it looks ridiculous! [He hasn't even seen it yet and he's convinced it looks silly.] All you'll end up doing is falling flat on your face! And then what will you do with your fashionable getup, huh?
seesbosscrotch: (no)

[personal profile] seesbosscrotch 2014-04-23 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not certain how you're imagining these, but plate dresses are ankle-length and reinforced, thus preventing them from getting caught under almost all circumstances!

[No one will argue it looks silly, not even Mar, but they are what they are.]
misterbrief: (you're lying)

[personal profile] misterbrief 2014-04-24 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
That's exactly my point, nimwit. As easy as it is to only use one's fists, I'd rather have the use of my legs just in case. You won't be kicking anything in a dress.
seesbosscrotch: (flex)

[personal profile] seesbosscrotch 2014-04-24 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I never was kicking anyone anyway! I'm not a monk, I wouldn't be wearing plate armor if I intended to kick anyone.

It may surprise you to hear that the majority of Azerothian combatants use weapons!

[A monk? The hell is that in this world. That's not what he is, is it? It would make sense, he wonders if they use holy power.]

It might surprise you that a majority of warriors at all use weapons. Even if it didn't save them in the end.
seesbosscrotch: (no)

[personal profile] seesbosscrotch 2014-04-27 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
While true, I've noticed more people who use weapons and armor end up living than don't. Assuming we're counting mage and priest staffs and robes as armor, of course.
