video | UN: P5YCH0

[fuelthefire]

[This video starts with a man's eye. A little bit squinty, a little bit bloodshot, and framed by some kind of...mask?

Krieg pulls back from the device a little bit and yeah, it's definitely a mask.

He's still uncomfortably close (for other people) to the camera, but he doesn't know that, and if he did he wouldn't care. He has important business to discuss.]

The Badass Grandpa owes me a fight and a drink!

I'm ready for both!

Order doesn't matter!!

[Each statement he makes is louder than the one that precedes it. Indoor voices are for other people.

Could he have perhaps private messaged the aforesaid Badass Grandpa instead of broadcasting to the network? Absolutely. Does he realize this? It's hard to say. Would he care if he did? Definitely, absolutely not.]

Comments

[verflair]

[ Yeah, no. That's quite obvious, and it makes X'rhun chuckle. ]

I don't, but I'm certain he'll show himself sooner or later. In my limited experience with him, he seems to enjoy tests of one's strength.

[fuelthefire]

The best kind of test!

[Okay, well, that answers that, at least.]

Who're you?

[Time for that whole "normal human being" thing he's angling to achieve one day.]

[verflair]

My name is X’rhun Tia.

[ Good luck with that name, Krieg. In spite of the X, it comes out more like “sheh-run”. ]

And who might you be? Aside from eager to fight, that is.

[fuelthefire]

[He doesn't need luck, he just needs time to come up with an appropriately suitable nickname.]

Pfmnahnhahaha! Krieeeeeg.

[Maybe one day he'll be able to introduce himself like a normal person. Today is apparently not that day.]

[verflair]

Well, Krieg, I wish you luck. I've seen Reinhardt wrestle a dragon, so I'm certain he'll give you a run for you money.

[ tbh he might have to figure out where this is all going down so he can watch ]

[fuelthefire]

[Oh snap, really? Krieg brings the device up close to his face again with great interest when he's gifted with that information.]

How big was the dragon?

[verflair]

It was one of the larger ones they keep in the stables.

[ So, you know, pretty decently sized. ]

When I chanced upon him, he had the thing in a headlock.

[fuelthefire]

[Holy shit, this guy is full of super good information!]

They keep dragons as pets!?

[Maybe this place isn't as lame as first impressions had lead him to believe!]

[verflair]

[ Oh dear. What has he done. ]

In a sense, yes. However, the dragons are very important to the people who live here, so you mustn't go around wrestling them just for fun. Ours was a special circumstance, they had escaped their pens and some of us had been tasked with retrieving them.

[fuelthefire]

[...he's hyped up Krieg's expectations and then dramatically strangled them to death, that's what he's done.

All of that excitement about pet dragons? It just evaporated. What good is a dragon if you can't at least wrestle it?]

Mngh...! This place sucks!

[verflair]

So sorry to dash your hopes. Mayhap if they get loose again, you can test your skill.

[ He doesn’t… sound particularly sorry. Mostly he’s just glad to have dodged a bullet by sending some stranger off to fight the dragons in their stables. ]

But if you prove you can best Reinhardt, it stands to reason that you can then best a dragon.

[fuelthefire]

What's the point in saying I can if I'm not allowed?

[Rules suck, X'rhun. They super suck.

He...might be sulking a bit.]
