[brynwieldr]

From: Leo (Odin)
Date: Jan. 20th

[As the camera clicks on, you can hear Leo muttering:]

Do we really have to do this, Aymeric? We could simply send invitations out individually when it’s closer to time.

Was it not your suggestion that we do this?

[It’s said quietly as well but the tone is gentle.]

There is nothing to worry about. We will do this together.

[Leo sighs and looks at the camera, trying to smile. It’s obvious he’s kind of regretting this decision, though.]

Right. For those of you who don’t know us, this message isn’t necessarily for you but--I am Leo, currently the god Odin.

And I am Aymeric de Borel, also assigned as a god. [What? God name ain’t important here, the actual one is.]

We--I--decided that this would perhaps be the fastest way of getting the news out. Aymeric and I…

[Deep breath.]

We’ll be married in the spring.

[It’s not shown on camera but one of Aymeric’s hands covers Leo’s, gently squeezing it as a way of reassuring him. He knows how they both are, not the type to make big announcements such as this but also wanting to share how they feel about each other. And with all the bad happening lately, there needed to be some sort of good. But they can see the elezen’s expression as he smiles warmly.

Leo appreciates the comfort, Aymeric, but he’d appreciate you saying something a little more.]

Invitations will obviously be sent out closer to the date. We would have said something sooner, but…

Given the circumstances of the recent events, it seemed a bit out of place to speak of it. However, we wished to tell our friends and fellow comrades of our news as soon as we were able. We are still planning for the ceremony and celebration so we are unable to answer much on that front.
[This is so different than trying to speak on politics or try to sway a group of people; he can do that with his eyes shut. No, this much more nerve wracking and he’s giving a mental prayer to Halone to give him strength not to screw this up.

They both suck at this, huh?]

Like I said, this is mostly for those of you who know us...or rather Aymeric. [He’s seen Aymeric’s contact list, okay.] Hopefully when the time comes, you’ll join us on our wedding day. ...gods that’s weird to say.

A moment I am looking forward to with great fervor.

[Sap. Leo gives Aymeric a slightly dopey look before he turns to the camera.

Thank you for your time.

[End feed.]


[OOC: Both will be responding!]

It is good to see this place has some positive outcomes in it.

[brynwieldr]

Agreed. It's not all misery and random attacks here.

[shalamayne]

The way some speak makes it sound that way. Things seem to have a habit of calming down after the chaos and quickly too.

I agree. Personally, I try to look for the good despite all the strife occurring. It would not do us any good to focus in on that alone.

[shalamayne]

I can't say I look for the good, but I get the feeling constant negativity helps no-one in this place. Maybe it would be wise to look into some kind of contingency plan should this place feel like acting up on your day.

[onedrinkwithme]

Constant negativity would just make someone weary and tired in my opinion. A balance needs to be struck between the cautious and joyful.

We will surely make a second plan if matters here take a turn for the worse; we have seen a volcano come out so anything is possible.

[shalamayne]

It more than likely fuels things here too. I'll settle for being irate at it; that's not quite negativity.

Anyone know where it came from?

[onedrinkwithme]

Fair enough.

There was a child on the volcano when my comrades and I crossed it. He said he was a fire god.

[shalamayne]

[ If Anduin could hear that there would probably be words. Varian's blood pressure has always been a thing.]

A fire god? Would make sense that the two are related, though the purpose of said volcano is still a mystery. Did they say anything else?

[onedrinkwithme]

[Time to find a hobby?]

If it suddenly appears and someone claiming they are new comes when new arrivals do not, it is safe to assume that it is one of ill intent.

[The boy has a name but it might be unwise to speak of it on the network.]

[shalamayne]

[ Definitely. At least as King he could go beat some enemies up and only cause a minor political infraction.]

Of course. Though one would have to then wonder what the thought process behind it was, or more importantly if they're inclined to do it again.

I don't think anyone would want a volcano on their wedding day.

[onedrinkwithme]

[Don't get into politics, it's a pain.]

It can be anything: their own choice or manipulation.

I know Leo and myself would not but there could be others who are fine with such a spectacle. I have yet to know any but they can be out there.

[shalamayne]

[ Tell him about it. Even now the Alliance has it's hiccups.]

A good point.

And no, most wouldn't be fine. But then if it caused no damage or injury, then it would certainly be a sight to behold.

[onedrinkwithme]

If the ash were confetti I can understand. But alas given what the impact is more grievous.
