[un: The Duke]

WHO: Wriothesley
WHERE: Gemini.
WHEN: A few days after the gardemeks attack
WHAT: Wrio talking about the things he's seen
WARNINGS: None, as of yet!

[ it's pretty early in the morning when this comes onto Gemini's network, and it's, for now, wriothesley sitting among a pile of scrapped gardemeks. He's pulling them apart, a screwdriver in one hand, his usual coat pulled up around his shoulders as he looks... upset, visibly.

He's not looking at the camera. ]


I know what the things that attacked the city are.
They're gardemeks, the machines made in my home city back on Teyvat. They're made with a purpose, and that purpose is both to protect the innocent and to stand a non-stop vigil around the city of Fontaine to assure the security and safety of its people.
It's not unusual for the things to sometimes go rogue, or to be re-programmed to be used for ill means, but that's not what they were meant for.

The fact that they showed up here and attacked people means that they... are being used for ill means.
And maybe if someone had their hands on just a few wouldn't be an issue when they're... [ he gestures at the pile he'd collected from the siege on Leon's apartment. ]

Decommissioned, so to speak.

...

I went swimming in the harbour. The appearance of a couple of creatures down there from my homeland was also cause for concern, so I did a little investigating on my own.
And the worst has come to pass. Not only do the people who mean ill against some of the people on this app have a way to control the gardemeks, but they also, somehow, some way...

...Control the very factory that makes them.

The Fortress of Meropide has appeared in the harbour. [ there's a crunching sound as he tears something as he ... barely keeps a rage that's building in his veins out of his words, his expression.

He's The Duke, the chilling warden of the fortress under the sea.

He can't show how angry he is right now.

Even if he can feel the air around him fluctuating between hot and cold. ]


My Fortress of Meropide has appeared in the harbour.
And I mean to get it back.

[Rose doesn’t know much about Fontaine.]

[But she knows it’s somewhere dear to Furina and Wrio.]

[She may not be close to Wrio, but he’s important to both Veldora and Furina. And that means she cares.]


I’ll assist you. Whatever it takes, I’ll be there.

I'll help.

[This is a bad month for him what with it being a water month, he's only talked to Wriothesley once, but come hell or high water, he's not staying out of this.]

My strength is yours to bring to bear, my friend.

[ fortresses, robots, fountains; all of it is irrelevant in the wake of Wriothesley's temper and his claim over whatever it is the villains have stolen from him--right or wrong, Wriothesley's desires are something he holds on his shoulders. ]

... some more of my form has returned to me, by the by. I can be bigger than before.

[A solemn nod.]

I'll do everything I can to prepare and to help. The Black Order cannot--will not get away with this.

Not a problem. I want these guys out of my hometown. And maybe to get payback for May.

Ever and always!

[ time to do some dragon math. ]

I'd say I can settle at around thirty feet from snout to tailtip; smaller is a touch more comfortable and mobile. I'm bigger than Rose's house!
actnormal: (Hm?)

[Elliot just sounds exhausted here]

Well... that certainly explains some things! [He sighs] At least the killer robots from the shady organization aren't designed to look like little girls this time.

[... Elliot's lived a life.]

You can count me in. Dismantling the Order was part of my plans in the first place anyway.

Oh hey that sounded like that one guy! The one who was asking him about the weird notebook the other month. Knuckles remembered him... and all this talk of and showing the machines certainly had his attention.

"So these machines must be fought?"

Did he need to punch them? He had experience punching machines!

I had imagined.

I won’t lie, I’m not enthused to put myself in harm’s way after May.

[But!!!]

That being said, there’s safety in numbers, and I’m sure you could use a healer if nothing else. Besides, I know how important you are to Furina and Veldora, and I can’t stand the thought of someone using your home like this.

After everything that they've put me and my family through, I'm more than ready to drive them out. [And put an end to them in general.] And it'll be nice to get a little more payback for May.

When we win your fortress back. [Unless it's like, ruined.] Do you have a map of the place?

'Tis only a shame that I've yet to regain the fullness of my strength--but 30 feet is a start! Someday I'll soar the skies at my full strength, ha!

It's almost charming, being so unknown here. Why, where I come from, the whisper of my name would be enough to ward off all but the most stubborn and braggadocios of villains--I'm terribly excited to be able to be part of the front lines for once. Rimuru never me do anything fun.

[ with good reason. with very good reason. ]
