☠ 002; video

[miscreant]

[When the feed clicks on, Seviilia appears to be cleaning out what looks to be a primitive and empty fuel canister with a worn piece of cloth. A grinding stone sits on her axes nearby. After quick inspection of the layout, it appears she is not anywhere in Initiate Hold.

Her expression is slightly darkened, but her tone is neutral as ever. She appears to be focusing on her task, even if the canister is mostly clean.]

Perhaps we should consider better preparing ourselves for the next inevitable bombing sequence, hm?

[She pauses in her cleaning and rotates the canister to change directions -- a motion tht seems to take more concentration than it should.]

Unless you are all content to add to the body count. In such case, disregard my notation, I suppose. But I do know we have some capable engineers here -- surely you might come up with something if rebuilding is to occur regardless.

What do you suggest? Catacombs are already the safest place in the city!

[miscreant]

And are also our only sure defense. Say...if they were flooded? What then?

[redheadcarrier]

They're not, though.

[gordonowesmeabeer]

At the very least I'm putting together an emergency kit I can grab when shit goes to hell again.

[miscreant]

Certainly not a bad plan. It may not serve you very well if you are struck from the sky, however.

[imperfect]

At this point, I gotta wonder if the city would want it, coming from us.

[miscreant]

[Ah, she remembers this voice.]

Yes, that is a concern, isn't it...

[There's a small pause for thought before she shrugs.]

But would they be able to stop us at the end of the day? Short of keeping us from supplies.

[And even then, wood is not difficult to come by, at least.]

Permavideo;

[curiousredsoul]

That is one particular matter I intend to be looking into. I have experience in constructing shelters that would serve well against such attacks.

Currently it is a matter of what supplies and materials are most available as to the manner of shelter to be constructed.

[...is that a dragon?]

What is it that you require?

[Koltira frowns at whatever project Seviilia's assembling, there.]

What did you have in mind?

[Rocket boots, now depleted of fuel from her last excursion into the outlands. She hadn't tried to refill them. Goblin engineering was fickle, there was no way for her to tell if normal fuel would suffice, and she wasn't particularly good at anything beyond small repairs. The last thing she needs is ignited fuel leaking on her.

When Koltira talks, the motion stops and her eyes flicker toward the camera.]

Anything is better than one underground retreat. I am certain someone here is capable of constructing some siege defenses.

[video]

[legal_eagle]

Got any ideas how to do it?

[video]

[miscreant]

In a roundabout way of speaking. I am not a particularly skilled engineer, but I have fought in several of these sorts of wars before.

[andagain]

You're absolutely right, we should start putting into place a way to keep civilians more safe while escaping!

[miscreant]

[Well, that wasn't quite what she had in mind, but to scoff at the idea would invite animosity she's not looking for right this moment.]

The list of what's needed to better fortify this Hold is long.

[ensorceler]

May I ask if your proposition has been met with any success? I think this to be only a natural progression, especially for a place meant to prepare for war.

permavideo;

[miscreant]

A bit of interest. Success, however, remains to be seen. I can only offer my opinion, lacking any true knowledge in engineering beyond small repairs of personal items.

[Like the rocket fuel canister in her hand.]

[ video ]

[thewhitepawn]

[He studies Sevilia in silence for a moment before speaking.]

Surely we can do something to protect ourselves and one another.

[ video ]

[miscreant]

[She smiles in her usual unsettling fashion.]

My thoughts precisely, Prince Anduin. But to do that, we'll need some cooperation from those who are capable of assisting. Don't you agree?

video;

[worldswillburn]

I don't know. The bombing was a pretty nice change of pace.

[Oh the sarcasm.]

[miscreant]

[She drinks it like sweet wine.]

Keeps one on their toes.

[sacrificar]

By doing what?

video;

[miscreant]

Preparing better infrastructure, for starters.

[unholy_rebirth]

What sort of preparations did you have in mind?

[miscreant]

Fortification of some sort.
