[He's chosen the backdrop and everything about this strategically. Behind him is the wall of the bubble, the ocean beyond visible as schools of fish and perhaps some ominous larger shapes dart past behind him.

Dualscar himself is resplendent in his full armour, emblazoned with the Aquarius symbol across his chest in Royal purple and his laser rifle slung over his shoulder, as well as his sword belted at his waist. His cloak spreads out like a fan behind his head and his gold rings gleam. Overall, he's an impressive figure of a troll.]

People of Vvatheon.

I am Orphaner Dualscar, a military leader amongst the trolls, many a wwhom livve in this city. Wwhatevver wwe may feel about havvin' been brought here, or about the city itself, wwe do for noww call this place our home, and it's a fragile bubble a life wwith nothin' but fathoms a ocean all around it.

I'm recordin' this today because I understand that this bubble may be under threat from monsters that livve in the deeps. I don't knoww wwhen another monster wwill strike, but I wwant to do my part in makin' sure wwe're ready to fight back wwhen and if the threat appears.

I'vve already been wworkin' wwith the leaders a the existing militia. Minato an I have agreed that I'll put together and organize a group wwhose specific purpose is to defend the city from attack. I'm lookin' for those wwith fightin' experience - Calvalreapers, Archeradicators, an the like. Most important wwould be those wwho can survvivve outside the bubble, either alone or wwith the assistance a equipment. From them I'll put together a Ninjaquatic strike team, to be lead directly by me.

Contact me if you're interested.

[After the video ends, a few specific people get text messages]

Vvantas.
I need to talk to you.

Eridan, can I count on you? I might havve a leadership position for you if you provve yourself.
At least I knoww you havve gills.

Expatriot, a wword.

[Darkleer briefly ponders pointing out that humans and others will, in all likelihood, not understand what Archeradicators and Cavalreapers are.]

[Briefly, because there are more important matters at hand. Greatly important ones.]

[He stares down at the message for a moment, fingers linked together and pressed against thin lips. This is delicate territory, what he wants to do, and he still isn't sure if he's ready and prepared. But sometimes those things happen, and he must deal with the hand he has been dealt.]

Excellent.
I havve one or twwo things to discuss wwith you.
Can I count on your expertise as an Archeradicator in assisting me wwith this?
I'vve heard good things about your prowwess, before the incident.

[p2iioniicii2t]

[ Well, someone's getting himself pretty busy. ]

The miiliitary termiinology you u2e may lack appropriiate human analogue2, 2iir.

[devwocean]

Really?
Wwell I think the gist is obvvious.
Wwhat do they use?

[video]

[tangledlocks]

I would be willing to lend my fighting skill.

[It's been awhile, but hey, Vatheon can't get attacked too often!]

[video]

[devwocean]

Excellent. And you are?

Very impressive, 0rphaner.

[devwocean]

Thank you, Demoness.

[bestestfurrend]

[She's just...watching, really. Curious and a bit wary.]

[Oh, same.]

I can survive outside the bubble in fighting condition for about half an hour without equipment.

[Vegeta looks... way too intent about this next part. He hasn't killed anything since he came here, okay? It's killing time!]

Are we going to have to spare whatever attacks, or would it be alright to go all out?

Video

[devwocean]

Half an hour? Not bad, and might be enough, dependin' on the strength a our foe.

All out. The purpose is to repel attack an destroy the enemy. I see no reason to say otherwwise. But you'll havve to be wwillin' to accept orders to the contrary if strategy requires a different tactic.

Wwhat's your name?

[zelda_hylia]

That's wonderful! I'm glad to see a professionally organized effort. I'm afraid I can't offer much in the way of fighting myself, but I could help with enchantments to allow people that can withstand the pressure of the ocean to be able to breathe underwater.

[devwocean]

Ah, Zelda. I wwas going to talk to you special, as wwell. Can you tell me more about the other time the city wwas attacked?

You havve magic that can do that?

I already asked you and you said no.
This wwasn't directed at you.

[angelphones]

With equipment, I can survive outside of the bubble. I'm already with the defense force, so of course I'd help in the event of an attack.

[Video]

[devwocean]

Wwhat's your name and wwhat are your fightin' abilities? Do you havve the equipment you need? I'vve got a line on someone wwho can provvide.

[bakegarasu]

I don't know what Calvalreapers or Archeradicators are, but I've got plenty of fighting experience. I can't use the abilities that would let me survive without equipment here, though.

video;

[devwocean]

Right someone said humans might not knoww. Cavalreapers are front line mounted fighters, wwith lances. Archeradicators are archers, I don't think this is really that complicated. Anywway wwhat I'm tryin' to say is I wwant front line fighters wwith some skill against large monstrous opponents and others wwith a good eye and skill wwith ranged wweaponry.

I'vve got a line on some equipment for those wwho can't breathe wwater.

Wwhat's your name?

Vid. Let me know if you need pic link to the feraligatr?

[brbstealingpknm]

.... I have a pokemon that's water based and capable of attacking underwater if need be. [He jerks his thumb at the basking crocodile like thing behind him.]

It only listens to me though.

Vid. A pic would be good!

[devwocean]

[He nods, not familiar with the term 'pokemon' but it hardly matters.] It's an animal you control?

[video]

[hexywitch]

It's lovely to meet you, Dualscar. My name is Lily. Lily Evans. There are quite a few of us with fighting experience, not just from our lives back home, but from other attacks on the bubble. There was a Kraken attack a few months ago, and I think nearly everyone pitched in.

What kind of help are you looking for?

[video]

[devwocean]

It's the kraken attack that I'vve been told about, and it's similar attacks that I'm lookin' to prepare against.

Wwhat kind of fightin' techniques do you use?

video;

[ninthserenade]

I'm not much of a fighter, but I can survive for as long as I need to in the water--heck, pair me up with someone 'n I can keep 'em alive down there with an air bubble around their head.

video;

[devwocean]

Survvivvin' not much good if you can't fight, as you'd just be in the wway and needin' protection, but I heard you do havve a useful skill. You pacified the last beast that attacked?

[text; filtered]

[unconchonable]

of course you can count on me
but wwhat kinda leader position are wwe talkin about

[text; filtered]

[devwocean]

I wwas considering you commandin a small team a your owwn, under my direction a course.
If you're up to it.
