[OPEN] Peace Bore a Heavy Price

WHO: Everyone
WHAT: Aleron and Nathaniel are hosting an BSG boxing match open sparring session to work out personal griefs within the Inquisition.
WHEN: Drakonis 30, All Day
WHERE: Just outside Camp Shady (aka, the Warden's Camp outside Skyhold)
NOTES: More information, including the rules, can be found here. You do not have to have signed up to participate. Non-combatants can come and just cheer for their favorites or appreciate fine bodies getting physical. Please note in your subject line if you're spectating, healing, or open for fighting.



Just outside the site where the Wardens have established themselves, a space has been cleared. Its boundaries are marked with some wooden posts driven into the ground with loose ropes stretched out between them. A copy of the rules has been nailed to one of the posts. It flaps in the wind, but seems to stay in place with but little fraying as the day wears on:

1. No magic.
2. A volunteer healer will determine whether someone is fit for a bout.
3. Conduct the fight honorably. If someone surrenders the fight, it ends immediately and without question.
4. Don't deliberately incapacitate someone to the point where they won't be able to perform their duties after the fight is over.
5. All weapons must be blunt, even blades.
6. Challenged chooses the method of competition.

At the end of the fight, participants are to consider their issue resolved and move forward.


Off to one side, a basic triage is set up for combatants who have taken their licks. Volunteer healers are present to offer treatment for injuries and to determine who remains fit to fight. Their decision is absolute.

For the spectators, there is ample room to stand around and watch. One of the merchants from the pilgrim's encampment has caught wind of the impromptu event and decided it's a grand time to turn a profit. He's got a cookpot set up and is hawking fine treats like fennec-on-a-stick, druffalo kebabs, and smoked nug legs. He's also selling wooden cups of ale for five coppers, but it's questionable if there's more water or ale. Let the buyer beware.

Oh? Yeah, yeah. After I twisted the guy like a pretzel, I turned him in. Maker's ass, I am glad he didn't get anywhere that really counted, [ Arms don't count you can live without those ] because that'd be so fucking embarrassing, losing to some guy that cheated.

[ She allows him to move the arm however he needs to. The wound is shallow enough to not need require stitches, or anything heavy-duty, and Kaisa certainly doesn't seem to be slowed down by it (despite the fact that it is still bleeding with enthusiasm). ]

I thought so too, but, hey. I guess either they didn't check hard enough or the Maker felt like I needed to loose a little blood and sharped the blade. Although, I hear that it is healthy to do that, you know? Balancing the humors and everything. I heard that they use leeches but I gotta say, I think I'd prefer someone just cutting me up. Leeches are so nasty.
amygdalae: the alternative is getting angry (this is me trying to be nice)

[Well at least its not a deep wound - that's the most important thing. He'll get started on cleaning this up first then while she... continues to talk, apparently.

She is rather excitable.]


I generally try not to use leeches when I can help it. [His tone is wry this time.] Bringing them around while on the move doesn't tend to end quite well, from personal experience.

[...also because it's probably unsafe, what with his own condition and all. Last thing he wants is for leeches to suck on his lyrium-infused blood.]

The wound isn't deep, so I think the best I can do is to clean it and wrap it up for you and let time do the rest of the work here.
unbrokenoath: (Heh)

Alright, that's fine. Berserking does better when I'm wounded anyway. But letting your wounds get all nasty doesn't do anyone any good. Don't need t' go around losin' an arm just because I didn't get it looked at.

[ She pauses, then flashes another grin at Bruce. ]

My name's Kaisa. Thanks for not tossing leeches on me.
amygdalae: you don't know what lies beyond. (there's still so much you haven't seen.)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-04-13 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[A berserker, huh? Bruce had seen a fair few before in his travels, although this is one of the first times he's talking to somebody who specializes in that. Usually they're more buff and... gruff, and certainly anything unlike who he was tending to now.

Then again, he really shouldn't be surprised.]


Bruce. [He returns with a smile.] A pleasure to meet you, m'am.
unbrokenoath: (:))

[personal profile] unbrokenoath 2016-04-22 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kaisa is plenty buff!!! Just not. Gruff. Being gruff is boring. ]

Bruce. So, Bruce.

[ And she flutters her eyelashes at him. ]

Can I count on you to keep kissing all my booboos better for this thing?
amygdalae: (not what i signed up for.)

kaisa why

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-04-22 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bruce is already very unsure the moment she... flutters her eyelashes at him, but what really makes him incredibly unsure is her words. What was she... even doing...]

Uh--pardon?

[WHAT ARE YOU DOING, SER KAISA.]
unbrokenoath: (Heeey)

B)

[personal profile] unbrokenoath 2016-04-29 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm probably gonna get knocked around a bit more here. Hopefully not cut, but you know how it is, right?

[ She leans over--Though she is polite enough to not totally get in his personal space, still grinning at him. ]

So, maybe we could make some arrangements to meet up, and you can check me for any injuries I might have missed?

[ Eyebrow wiggle. ]
amygdalae: (but who was phone)

Kaisa pls

[personal profile] amygdalae 2016-05-01 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Bruce if anything just looks EVEN MORE UNSURE, but its not like Bruce... can turn down her request?? If its just for a check up??]

Um... sure. If that's what you need.

[This is totally going to end well.]
