*Moogie steps up infront of the crowd, a nervous but resolute expression on her face. She ensures everyone is silent and listening before she begins. The venue is Kada\'s Tavern, and it is raining lightly outside. The audience settles itself and awaits their speaker\'s first words.*
Greetings, my friends... sorry if calling you here at this time inconvinienced any of you. What I have to say is probably nothing new to you... but I wish to say it, and I want you all to feel it, in your hearts, as golden truth.
I speak today of the foreigners invading our fair Hydlaa city. *she glances around the room* Not all... but most. Those who speak in strange, hostile tongues. Those who call us \"players\", who have a scary obsession with slaughtering the sewers\' rats down below. No, I speak not of the fair travellers who comes here to settle into a new life and live in harmony with the rest of us... I speak of those who know only death and destruction... those who do not even seem to know where they are.
*A noise is heard outside as a giant claymore-weilding Ynnwn opens the sewer hatch, and, mumbling something about \"pwnage\" and \"n00bs\", disappears underground. Moogie watches him silently through the window, before turning her attention back to her audience.*
As I am aware, nary a good fellow here wishes to see these foreigners take over and drive us out of our homes. I fear for many lives... children\'s lives... the weak and frail... even poor old Jayose, who has become so senile these days that he recognises only himself and his books. I fear for us all... and that is why I have brought you here today.
*Moogie begins to walk amongst the people sat on chairs around the tavern. Familiar faces watch her intently as she moves, absorbing her every word.*
Many of us are taking measures to protect our livelyhoods. Some of our plans will inevitably fail. This horde of bloodthirsty strangers are not going to leave in silence, and they will be here forever unless we all put in the effort to drive them back! These are difficult times, and it may take many months. Teach your apprentices. Show the way for the innocents who seek good lives here. And do not give up, no matter who you are, no matter what you do... do not ever give up the fight!
*Moogie turns quickly, now standing at the back of the room, facing the audience who\'s chairs had now all turned to keep up with the Enkidukai. She raises her arms in the air as her speech comes to a head.*
We must all fight for as long as it takes! If you give up, we are doomed. Every single person here today, who hears my words, take an oath now- swear on your ancestors, your forefathers, your family, that you will do what it takes, and weakness shall not live in your hearts! Warriors, take up your arms! Priests, prepare your sermons and pray to the Gods for our success! We are the people of Yliakum, and we are not leaving!
*The speech done, a great cheer roars from the crowd. They clap her performance, but they also applaud themselves. The words ring true to every ear, and that day, all oaths were sworn to the cause.*
(OOC: Well, at least I
hope everyone agrees with me.
