First

[Action]
[Garrosh appeared in the forest. An unfamiliar but lush forest. It's clearly not Ashenvale and it's not any other one he's familiar with, but there's game to be found and it's pleasant. But it is also certainly not Durotar, he's alone, with no gear or weapon and his back is pain. Still, instinct drives him: the first thing an orc needs, be it on Azeroth or in Outland, is some sort of weapon. He scouts around for a sturdy looking branch and a sharp seeming rock to fashion himself, with an hour or so's work, a primitive spear. With this supplementing his eight foot tall, muscular (and tattooed) brown form, he's better off.

...Aside from the weird partial polymorph on his back. He doesn't know magic (at least no well), so while pride dictates he'd prefer not to have these wings, with no immediate implication the black things are a detriment to him and (from when he reached to try to tug on them) the realization that they are sensitive, he's resolved to ignore him until he can force answers out of a mage.

So, the massive but quiet (he is a skilled hunter, after all) man is now skulking in the forest. Both to find something to eat, and to find answers (being as how he ignored the journal at his feet originally, oops). So if you're in the forest, particularly if you're not an orc or troll or goblin or tauren or look like any of those, expect to be hunted. It might be dangerous, but he is looking to question, not kill, at the moment. Probably.

He will, of course, probably make it to town eventually, and when he does you'll also see him going to the Smithy and then promptly back out of town with his gear in hand, following the rivers and going up to survey the mountains/more of the forest over the next few days, camping as he goes. So if you'd like to chime in there, that's possible too.]

The Alliance? Uhh, sorry, I don't know any of those guys. They're probably just groups that are all special and whatever to your world, so there's no way I'd be a part of any of 'em.

[gorehowl]

[He rumbles something in the back of his throat and nods. He considers a moment, before leaning forward somewhat and deciding to press the path]

And why does "Asbel" hold your loyalty?

[gorehowl]

[No, no it does not. Actually, given her size, stature, and apparently strength (not to mention her skin tone) he actually briefly glances at her more appraising than he normally would a human. Because, for a split-second, he mistakes her for an orc, and moreover, a Mag'har orc.

However, that's dismissed with one look at her face. She has no tusks, and her nose is pointed instead of her ears. Or maybe his, actually, given this is also a human... or at least some species which isn't an orc.

In any case. Garrosh isn't sure if he should take that as sarcasm or not. After all, he's just got his armor, Gorehowl, a knife for cleaning fallen game, a hatchet to chop wood and a shortbow (okay, so it's a normal bow, but it looks like a shortbow on him) with a quiver to hunt game.

He decides, though, because this one is being polite and his rage has somewhat abetted from earlier today, he'll be more polite than he usually would be]

Mok'ra. [A beat] And why are you holding those bags?

[wannabolt]

[Okay, the growl makes Dash tense a little, and she slowly turns around, half expecting some kinda grouchy bear, but instead...]

Whoa...

[That's a big... whatever-he-is. The guy almost looks like something that'd come crawling outta the Everfree forest, if Equestria had anything remotely humanoid. But seeing how this is Rainbow Dash and not Fluttershy, she shakes off her initial shock soon enough, instead raising an eyebrow.]

You know, I didn't think I'd wind up with an audience this early. I haven't even had the chance to test this stunt yet.

[Alas, she has no idea about Garrosh's intentions.]

[castbytheglyph]

We kinda helped saved the world together.

[And he took this swirly purple-black thing into his body so Sohpie didn't have to go all Protos Heis up in Ephinea. So yup, he's a pretty cool guy to her.]

[gorehowl]

And is he your commander? Your comrade in arms? What great foes did you fell to save your world, woman?

[gorehowl]

I am not here to see your performance. [That said, it would be interesting... maybe. He looks up, crossing on arm on his chest whole the other on firmly holds his wooden spear, though he plants the base on the ground now, looking more assured] Though I am curious what it would entail.

[castbytheglyph]

Nah, I mean, he's a real close friend, so I guess he's some sorta super comrade. And we totally stopped this dude called Lambda who was suckin' all the eleth away which would make the world, well... Die.

[Uhh.] But I guess none of that means much to you, huh?

[sugarglitch]

[There's a faint oh, fudgesicles. from behind the tree before she steps out, frowning at the big guy because clearly he's at fault or something.]

This ninja thing is harder than it looks!

woah DW legit ate my reply for once :T not even lazarus saved it

[maidenhearted]

[In truth, there is much to be gained from being polite and patient with Sakura. Even if she's a human, a fight with her is troublesome for everyone involved. A fight between the two of them would likely not end quickly.

She, on the other hand, is eager to talk to anyone lately. It stems from a bit of loneliness and a realization that she's been too quiet for her own good.

There's no sarcasm from her. Aside from the weapons, he looks very prepared to survive in the wilderness. Sakura is no stranger to that.]

I was using these sandbags for weight training and strength training. [There's a pause from her as well.] Not many in Luceti would sleep outdoors in such conditions. Your willpower is admirable.

[gorehowl]

[Not hugely, because he doesn't know eleth. But even as she says it, it doesn't sound entirely different from other threats which have faced both Azeroth and Draenor. In a way, he thinks of a battle he didn't fight, but his father played a part in (he romanticizes): The Battle of Mt Hygal.

And so, he laughs. He kek hahahaha.]

I do not know your world, but I do know of threats to worlds, and those who have stood up to the evils which threaten them. [He would say he would want to meet Asbel. But. She's either a "high" elf or a human, so...] "Asbel" must be strong.

[gorehowl]

[What is a ninja-- actually that doesn't matter]

No human child could so easily hide themselves from me.

[castbytheglyph]

[Oh he's laughing, cool! Or coughing awkwardly... Well whatever, she manages a laugh of her own, albeit a rather nervous sounding one since 'ahaha the guy who attacked me is laughing yeah okay just go with it'.]

Yuh-huh, you bet. He's the kind of guy who does all sorts of cool slashy-kicky stuff up front. I get up in people's faces too sometimes, but I kick butt with more green swirlys and curly-wurly flashy stuff than he does.

[wannabolt]

[Huff. Wow, way to be a downer...

But on the other hand, he did ask for details, and Dash isn't one to avoid a bragging opportunity. So, in a burst of enthusiasm, she springs off the ground, hovering near some branches with her hooves on her hips.]

Well, this stunt's still a work in progress, but my performances usually involve intense speed, jaw-dropping spins, and daring maneuvers nopony would dare to try. Nopony except me, that is.

[As if to demonstrate this, she spirals up to the clouds, circling it at hundreds of miles per hour to create a lightning bolt shape before she strikes the ground once more.]

And that's not even one of my real tricks.

wow what a silly thing to do that to us

[gorehowl]

[There's a small sound in the back of his throat which might be approval. That's rare, that a human would commit to something like that. Or at least, it is in Garrosh's mind. For his part though, he just starts to laugh a little. It's only a short one kek hahaha- but then his voice becomes amused. Deep, grave sounding, but amused]

Many in Luceti appear to be content to sully their pride by living in shelter provided by an enemy.

[dragmire]

This army will not be united. Not until they have been broken and built up again, more powerful than they are now. Until they, they will serve only their own purpose.

[gorehowl]

[...Wow, that's fast. Faster than frenzy, even]

Your speed is impressive. I've never seen a beast that would match it.

[gorehowl]

You have been trapped in this enclosure all this time. [Or at least, long enough to claim a domain. Longer than him. His lips now form a grimace] Perhaps your will has been damaged by it.

[gorehowl]

[That was more gibberish than you'd hear out of a goblin. His mirth fades a little, and he feels a growl welling up int he back of his throat]

And now, woman, have you see any orcs in this land?

[dragmire]

You need not worry about my will. My ambitions are much more long term. I'm a patient man.

[gorehowl]

Patience is one thing, but inaction is another. [Thrall, he thinks of. Immediately. But this man doesn't have Thrall's aura.] Have you accomplished much, sitting in your Domain?

[castbytheglyph]

Nope. [Not that she knows what an orc is.]

Is that what you are big guy, an orc?

[contestconqueror]

[!!!! Hello really tall human...ish guy who is clearly armed and has at least three feet on him. Where did you come from?

There will be no hard feelings here if he takes a few steps back, right? Right?]

Ahaha-ha... tame? When you say tame, do you mean catch? If that's the case- I didn't really catch them... Nana and Zuzu were given to me, and Mimi decided to join me all by herself.

[rainbooms]

Well, I'm way cooler than any beast and the fastest flier around! Bet there's nopony in Equestria or any other world who can hold a candle to me.

'Cept maybe Sonic.

[But he's still the second fastest in her book.]

[dragmire]

I have begun making necessary steps. But I do not intend to tell you more than that.
