[So Garrosh has been living in a camp on the rough edges of the Farmlands for the last few weeks. The hermitage isn't exactly pleasant, but it is better than being in a village full of repugnant, apathetic, humans. He's considering constructing a proper house, because despite his best efforts to the contrary, the tent he's in is pretty darn cold. There's a few Farm buildings he's taken to crawling into when it gets too cold and there's a large fire he keeps up too.

Not that it's easy. The snow here is thick, far thicker than either Durotar or Nagrand (less than Northrend though, which is why the cold isn't bothering him too much) and it's making hunting a nightmare. Foraging too. Garrosh is smart enough to objectively know that especially since the heavier snow this last weekend, he's barely making it by. Still, he's not going to go into town and use that grocery thing. No sir. That'd be showing weakness to an enemy. Still, all these hardships just make him want to go and get in a real fight. Gorehowl thirsts for blood, particularly with how impudent many are here.

But he reigns in that anger. He'll explode it on his enemies (he needs to constantly remind himself the humans in that village aren't Alliance) later. Instead, he picks up his journal again. It's been some time since he opened it. The last time he did there were disappointing, but people have told him it's a source for information and he himself realizes it's an important part of the community of this enclosure. So he opens and... "Youth is love."

Really. Really? He almost slams the book shut again, but he reigns that in and, snarling, goes to make his own entry]

[Voice/Action]
Are these tomes actually used for anything useful? [Which he knows is a useless question in and of itself, but. The anger in his voice is obvious and right now he doesn't care] Entries about love, random sounds and pointless sentences, gossip. [He snarls and just. Leaves it at that] Though, I suppose asking a question seems to fit with a pattern, leafing back.

[And with that he's done. However, you can talk to him in voice or encounter him at his camp in person! Garrosh does have love and hate triggers for the event. Also after this post, sometime within the next few days, one of the people he's interested in now or some other force or something will get him to actually come to the village, so you might see an eight foot tall tattooed orc in full armor (but with a cloak on over the armor) standing around the village as if looking for something to catch his interest. You might also run into him probing the door of Good Spirits (though not actually inside, probably), in Seventh Heaven (to see what's up with it) and finally, bunking at the Welcome Center if no one takes him home or anything like that.

Have at any which way]

[DODGES EXPLANATION BECAUSE TALKING OUT OF ASS]

No, it's fine that you don't understand, I wouldn't expect any less of you. I guess we should all be glad that pea sized brain of yours works well enough that you can read what's actually in the journal.

Your insults ring hollow, Saiyan! For something like "youth is love" I'd rather be ignorant!

Well, doesn't that apply to more than one subject.

You haven't answered my question.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought the answer was obvious. I personally like to use the journal to communicate with others that seem to have an IQ higher than an ant. Believe it or not there are beings here that aren't complete dimwits. But you do find a bad apple here and there, wouldn't you agree?

[Totally still dodging.]

So you enjoy wasting time. [Okay if he's going to be petty, Garrosh will just make sweeping statements] For someone with so much power, you're not very diligent, are you?

It's not a waste if you get what you want. And how so? I'd have to say I've been quite diligent considering my own strength. You don't become one of the most powerful fighters in the universe by sitting on the couch.

Like you would be to talking to people using this book?

[Oh, he did not just go there girl. An eye twitch is earned.] Information is just as powerful a weapon. And I like to make it my business to know about my enemies.

The people of this village are you enemies? Piecing back five pages, I don't see anything except gossip.

[This is not quite true. But he's making a point]

[Point made and accepted. But...rebuttal!] Have you still not cleaned out your ears? I said not everything is useful. And they have information about our enemies, you dolt! Didn't you ever think of that?

And you could get it more reliably get that information from the tavern.

Sorry. I don't drink all that often. I could be doing push-ups while browsing the journal.

[...] You do that?

Do what?

Push ups while browsing this book. I have my doubts.

[Is he serious?] It's not hard, you've never done a one armed push up before? Or is it because you have so much trouble reading that you don't believe it possible?

Oh, I'm sure it's possible and that I could do it, I just doubt you have.

What business is it of yours whether I have or haven't? [He totally hasn't.]

Because if you're going to make boasts, it ought to be things you've done! [and he laughs]

Oh yeah!? I know what I have done, one being giving that tiny axe of yours a test drive!

And I have slayed countless demons and undead and dragons. [It's short back] There's no need for boast, Saiyan.

Heh. It was more of just a friendly reminder. I didn't think you'd forget already. But since you've found yourself using this "worthless tome" Warchief, does that mean you're ready to move on from the Stone Ages?

I am testing it for information. [With a light growl. What stone age. The orcs are not in the stone age you arrogant putz] I've been told again and again to watch them, and so I'm attempting it again.

Didn't I just say something about information being linked to the journals? And didn't you just mention you could go to the tavern for that?
