two ☓ a warning (backdated to october 16th)
[Filtered from Arthas Menethil/The Lich King.]
[ The sight that fills the video is one of magnificence really. Purple and golden fabric drape along the background with various crystals floating in the air and a table centered with an intricately designed teapot (with matching cups). Oh, there's also an![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
orc present. He's soon joined by his ally who presumably set up the device to record. There's a moment of hesitation between the two before the human woman turns to face the screen to address the audience. ]
Good day fellow travelers to this realm. [ Her voice is bolstered in confidence, although her gaze falters from time to time. ] There are many of you here that I have yet to meet and for that I unfortunately must ask that we postpone further pleasantries.
[Thrall isn’t quite sure where to put his hands, so he settles them on his knees and looks toward the camera. At least he thinks it’s the camera. Just when he gets used to using one form of technology, they change it out for something that’s still too small for his hands. Anyway, his expression is serious and faintly contemplative. There’s a lot to be said here, and a lot that he shouldn’t say. Not yet.] The arrival of someone from our world has made it apparent that precautions should be taken. [His brows furrow.] And so we must warn you, and decide what to do from there. This dark conqueror was once named Prince Arthas Menethil, but now he wears the armor and the title of Lich King. He is no man, but a monster.
A monster? [ Jaina cuts him off with her own intrusion and for a moment there, she appears almost as though she wants to argue that. With a gulp loud enough to be picked up by the device, she forces herself to continue. ] That's right. [ Steadily growing more strength with that single phrase alone. ] A monster that if left unattended to will purge this entire world of life. The blight will warp the land and from every living being a monstrosity will be born. Man, woman, creature or child. Living or dead. Their bodies will take up arms against those who oppose him and unlike that with a sentient mind, they will annihilate without any concern for their crimes.
[ Leaning back into her chair, her breathing slowly becomes more irregular as she forces herself to continue. ] There are a number of atrocities he's committed back in Azeroth. So many so that the brave, brave people of our world have risen to take the fight to his doorsteps. I, I was almost there. [ There's a seething edge to her tone with that phrase as she nears dangerously close to a point unlike her. ]
Jaina... [Her name escapes his lips, a soft concerned rumble, before he can stop himself. Seeing all that anger sneak into her expression, the tightness of her knuckles in the tablecloth-- it’s all he can do to keep from reaching across the table. He shakes his head slowly.] The damage he could do to this world is unthinkable, but far from impossible.
Knowing this, what are our choices? Would the Initiative assist us, knowing the danger they have brought upon their country? I have heard of a judicial system in passing, but I am not sure how effective it would be. Whatever must be done, it must be done as a group, with as much preparation and planning as possible. Do NOT engage the Lich King alone. We don’t know if he can circumvent how the Initiative deals with death.
It remains imperative that you do not approach him on your own.
[ Jaina emphasizes on this point in the hopes of drilling it into the heads of those listening in. Rising to her feet, her steps are just a bit heavier than before as her agitation weighs her down in her approach for the device. She felt there was nothing more she can say to this as she cuts the recording short. ]
(( OOC: this is a filtered joint post between thrall and jaina, so be mindful of that when replying. Also, this is backdated to BEFORE the plot! Thanks! ALSO ALSO, Arthas-mun said it was okay. :|b))

video;
Not yet? [ A soft voice that's not quite pleading, but the look in her eyes yearns for it all the same. ] Does that mean there remains a chance that he could be stopped?
[ Stopped. Redeemed. Both mean the same in her mind when it comes to Arthas. ]

I mean only to say that his power has not yet reached its height, and that we should not address him by a false title.
[he can guess at her intentions from her tone and expression, and he just shakes his head.]
There is no good left in him, my lady. I am sorry.
no subject
[ If so, then this confirms that this man was the one Arthas mentioned. Wary of the technology at their fingertips, she waits for a response instead of continuing forward with the conversation. ]

As the man who was leading the charge against him already. Will you allow me to work alongside you in the future? It would be beneficial for the both of us in the long run.
no subject
[and then, without any hesitation--]
Of course, Lady Proudmoore. I would be honored to work with one such as you.
no subject
[ Even if a certain king shows up to insist otherwise. ] Are you familiar enough with this artifact to speak with me privately if need be?
