Knights in shining karma tend your flame

Who: Reinhardt Wilhelm ([personal profile] panzersoldat) & YOU~!
What: Reinhardt's got 99 problems and his morals are 98 of them
When: though most of Janurary
Where: Wyver and the surrounding countryside
Warning(s): violence likely in sparring


1 - defending the weak
It's not right. It's just not right. Reinhardt can't stand to see this sort of injustice played out before his eyes. He can't stand there and say nothing. He can't turn a blind eye to what he sees and what he hears. It hurts his heart to see it when it happens and it makes him ill to think that so many are being treated so poorly.

It all comes to head with a young woman and her child. It's at a small fruit stand in the markets. The woman tries desperately to buy food only to be stiffly turned away. 'We don't sell to Olympian refuse. Go back where you came'. The child cries in hunger and Reinhardt's heart drops in his chest.

He has to do something. Someone...has to do something!! There is a focused look on his face and he turns to whoever is unlucky enough to be standing next to him. "You might want to act like you don't know me. This is about to get very loud and very ugly." Because this old knight is about to give that fruit seller a piece of his mind!

2 - helping the helpless
It's like clockwork. Early in the morning, a large man goes to the stables to saddle up an even larger horse. He is clad head to toe in a set of futuristic armor that has seen much much better days. The horse's armor is far newer and nicer. With him, he carries a massive hammer and a small pack. Food. Water. Medicine. Blankets. Clothing. Whatever he can put on the back of his horse. Sometimes a bedroll and a tarp for a tent as well as supplies for staring a fire in this freezing cold weather.

He doesn't know how long he'll be out. He never does. But he goes. He rides out of Wyver, searching for those who have decided to leave and go to places less war-hungry. He goes out into the wilderness to help never knowing if he'll actually make it back, certain that once he's led the latest group he found to neutral borders, he'll turn around and find an Olympian group to do the same with. No one left behind to suffer.

He pats Grani on the neck and sighs. The supplies are getting less and less easy to come by. "Pretty soon, it's just going to be me I can give them... Think it'll be enough?" He's talking to the horse because he's certain that others wouldn't be up this early. He's wrong.

3- fishing for the truth
[If there is one thing Reinhardt is good at, it's fishing. He doesn't count that one time with Fareeha. So he happily sits by one of the frozen over rivers. There is a hole in the ice where he's sawed his way through.

He sits on a stool that's barely anything at all. It puts his knees up where his chin is. In his hands is a pole. It might be normal sized for normal people. In Reinhardt's hands it looks like a toy. Still, this is the stillest and the quietest that Reinhardt has ever been.

He's so caught up in his catching dinner that he doesn't even notice anyone's approach. At least the ice is strong enough not to break at a very large, very heavy man jumping out of his skin!]
AH! You scared me! You really shouldn't sneak up on a man like that!

4 - fighting for the right (tw: violence/sparring)
Between his do-gooding and his working, Reinhardt still dedicates time to physical training. Whether up on Thesa Station or down planet side, Reinhardt is no slouch. His workouts are more than just a little extreme, some might consider them actual torture with how hard they are and how much he pushes himself to accomplish feats that might even make a man half his age balk at.

At the moment, he's set up in the fighting arena well before hours. It's the best place to go when he just wants to let off some steam. His poor opponent today is a very large very heavy sand bag. A half an hour later and Reinhardt has his shirt off, sweat running down his body. There's blood dripping from raw knuckles and the bag is split and leaking sand.

Reinhardt curses, a sharp Germanic swear. The translator can't really catch it, but it gets the rest. "They need to make stronger bags for this."

5- the cost of morality (later in the month)
He's been too loud. Too obvious about where his loyalties lie. Reinhardt tells himself he doesn't care. He's doing what's right. But now, there is a price to pay. It started slowly. At first, some of the shops would jack their prices up for him. They seemed to know that those bandages and those dried foods weren't going to feed his huge self. It went downhill from there.

Places refused to serve him at all. He'd had doors slammed in his face. Chiding tones of "foolish old man" gave way to "Olympia sympathizer". He could endure that. Reinhardt could endure the derision. He could handle not being able to do jobs that weren't of the somewhat questionable mercenary type to earn what little silver he could. He can even handle days where the only thing he got to eat were those containers of food Ana had left him because so many taverns no longer welcomed him warmly.

What he can't handle is standing out in front of the Dragon's Nursery being denied entry. For the first time, Reinhardt feels a deep sorrow. There's a little baby dragon in there that he's become deeply attached to. Before all this, he would visit at least three times a week to help with that one (plus the others). And now, he stands at the gates and is told he is no longer welcome in such a hallowed place.

He bites down on his lower lip and tilts his body a little to catch a glimpse of the little silver he's grown to adore so much. "Are you sure? I promise I won't be long. I just wanted to tell her hello. Would it help if I had a friend vouch for me?" He casts around looking for the first person he sees. "You'll vouch for me, right? Tell them that I'm still a safe person to have around the babies?"

Sen had been helping out the best he could with the refugees of both kingdoms. The tensions of a war on the rise he can't blame these people for wanting to try and stay out of it. What was it that Fairbanks had once told him? 'When I quarrel with my cousin, wine is spilled. Perhaps someone loses a tooth. When Celene feuds with hers, a country is torn apart.' This situation felt extremely close to that of Orlais, the only difference it being a potential war between two countries and not insular. Innocent people getting dragged into a war they did not ask for or want.

He's been acquiring as many supplies he can, helping hunt food where he can and making sure people's needs are tended too. Hard work, but with so many of the Natha refugees helping it made things go more smoothly. The only thing he wonders is how long this could go on for. Sooner or later the cities would stop supplying himself or the others if they found out they were helping deserters. Would they have to get services from behind closed doors if that happened? It's hard to say.

Sen had finished his round of passing things out when he finally can take a moment to himself when he see's Reinhardt. Giving off a small smile he starts towards them when he begins to over hear what the other man is saying. Again the man was worrying. Perhaps he should try and allay that. "Now should I be getting jealous that you plan to share yourself with all these fine folk?" It's said from behind as Sen stands leaning against a tree with a smirk as he implies the innuendo. "After all, I haven't gotten you to myself yet," he adds as he steps up now beside them.

They looked tired and Sen will mention it soon enough, but first he's reaching up to place a hand on their bicep to stroke it softly. "Are you holding up all right?" He asks with that small smile of his.

Whether he thought it was impressive or not, Reinhardt would only have to ask. He's seen armour before but nothing so large or streamlined in it's way. It resembles the armour of his world but it's clearly far more advanced than anything they could develop.

There's a smirk he gives the other at the tease and well, Reinhardt may hear a small clang as Sen bops him in the behind with his staff lightly. "Careful, Reinhardt. It goes both ways when I have to go venturing off," he answers, but his tone makes it sound like he's merely kidding. He's only got his sights on one man for the time being and no other would occupy his thoughts in that regard.

Joking aside he steps towards the horse, petting the snout of it softly through his leather glove. There's a time he doesn't look at Reinhardt as he focuses on the horse, just trying to figure out what to say to the other. He decides to start with a question, one to be sure of the man's well being. Reinhardt seemed prone to melancholy so, it would do well if Sen made sure they were fine. "How are you holding up with all of this, vhenan? In times such as these it's understandable for anyone to feel saddened by it all."

Zer0's the kind of person who just drops in unannounced and does his own thing, and right now his own thing is watching Reinhardt beat the shit out of a sandbag . He'd actually dropped in to do some training himself, but turns out that gigantic muscle beef-men who are punching things are actually quite distracting. Zer0 would spar the shit out of that old man, goddamn.

Asking for a spar might have to wait, though. Reinhardt is so hardcore that he's already bashed his own knuckles up. Perhaps a spar will have to wait, but a chat would still be pretty okay too.

"You seem troubled." Zer0 finally speaks up from whatever shadowy corner he'd been lurking in, and strolls over like he wasn't just secretly watching everything like a weirdo. He can't help that he's a pro stealth ninja ok.

"My bad."

Honestly sneaking up on people ans spooking them is probably one of Zer0's non-murder related things to do. The reactions are just hilarious sometimes. He does actually like Reinhardt though, so he'll refrain from poking fun at him and just flash him a heart emote. It's all good big guy, a little shouting isn't going to bother Zer0.

"Is there anything / That I can do to assist? / Need anyone stabbed?"

That may or may not be a joke.

4 - LET'S DO THIS

[personal profile] shashka 2018-01-06 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Once again, Ocelot was taking his time up aboard the Thesa Station (with DD in tow, of course). While a part of him knows that he'll likely be alerted if John ever happens to wake up, he just can't help but visit. And with travel to and from the area available once a day, why not make it up as much as he can? Besides, DD also needs to see his other master (and though he won't admit it, Ocelot does also miss Venom as well), and both of them need to make sure that certain enemies still remain fast asleep.

And so, that's why he's heading by the training areas on his way from stasis when he spots Reinhardt. Or rather, DD spots him first, and happens to point him out to his handler. Still, Ocelot doesn't immediately make his presence known, preferring to watch the other man as he trades blows with the bag of sand. There's something about him that he really can't help but admire, even without the influence of anything else.

Finally, as the other man lets out a rather colourful curse, Ocelot decides to make his presence known. Entering the room, with DD happily in tow, he can't help but chuckle a little.

"I'm sure the sandbag deserved it, comrade," He says, with "comrade" in German. What was the point of knowing so many languages if you never had the opportunity to use them, after all?
shashka: (well then)

[personal profile] shashka 2018-01-07 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
To his credit, Ocelot tries not to be too obvious in his admiration for the older man as he wonders which stories each scar must tell. Still, his gaze lingers just a little too long, serving as a reminder that while he's a fantastic spy, he's certainly not a charm agent.

"Actually, I'd just been visiting some old friends up in stasis. It had been a while since I'd seen my men, and I thought I'd pay some quick respects to them."

That was a lie. After all, he was up here almost every day, making sure that the Orbiters were still holding up their end of the bargain with the one person who'd mattered more to him than anything else. And it wasn't just John he'd been keeping an eye on.

Though, even as DD goes up to greet someone who is quickly becoming one of his favourite people in El Nysa, he really does have to ask...

"Something bothering you?"

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what it might be. Even for a man like Ocelot, the tensions between Olympia and Wyver served to do little more than... complicate things. In the long run, it might be fun, but for the time being, even after six months, he still feels like he's scrambling to gain footing.

But fortunately, cats always land on their feet.

Jolyne is quick on the draw. Mostly because she knows exactly what it's like to live on the unlawful side and is more than happy to be there again. For someone as knightly as Reinhardt, she doesn't exactly want to see him there but, well, she's not judging either way. Instead, she gives his elbow a shake, since that's the closest thing in her reach.

Still, as criminal as she is, she has to help. Helping the helpless was part of her M.O. Stepping forward, she grabbed a fruit from the stand and gave the seller a look before squeezing the produce in her hand as hard as she could. Her muscles flexed a bit before it was crushed in her hands.

"Listen here, fuckface. Sell this shit or else you might be losing all of it real quick."

Well, she might be a bit small but the angry crusader behind her might be more than a bit of incentive.

Loras is no stranger to this mindset. Such things happened all over Westeros - from region against region to house loyalty against house loyalty. It's not uncommon for him to see the blatant denial given to people who might seem undevoted to Wyver. And while he and his family and his own lord were more accepting of people, it's undeniable that he's played a part in it.

It's his duty.

And his duty now is to Wyver. His position in the Knightryders dictates as much. He doesn't enjoy watching it happen, never. He's kinder when he can be, does what he can without compromising his own status. Even more so when it's a friend, so it's lucky for Reinhardt that Loras is happening by.

"Reinhardt? What's going on?"

[personal profile] triplerose 2018-01-10 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't see the appeal of dragons himself. Growing up, the only stories about dragons came with bad endings and mad kings, and it wasn't something Loras was keen on being involved in. But as he listens to Rein, it's apparent that the old man is keen on them. It's upsetting, really. Loras can't believe Rein being untrustworthy in anything.

Loras looks between his friend and the person standing at the door. While it could be frowned upon to help Reinhardt, Loras reasons that technically Rein hasn't turned his back on Wyver. Should it come to pass that he gets questioned of it, Loras knows what he'll say. He'll say that having Reinhardt helping those who are neither here nor there is a good thing, that he can use that to sway people over. A lie, for sure, but Loras is a Tyrell and this is what they do.

"Of course. Give me a moment, I'll see what I can do for you."

The cold weather has kept more and more people in the city proper, but Jack doesn't let that stop him. The only way to fight off the chilling cold is to keep his blood flowing, and the need to get out of his apartment plays a part too. His visor covers most of his face, at least, so the cutting wind isn't quite as bad as it could be.

He really isn't expecting to come across anyone else during his hike, so when he spots someone set up to ice fish on a frozen-over river, he has to take notice. Especially when said person is the size of a house and familiar, to boot.

It takes some care to move toward Reinhardt over the slick ice, and Jack is actually surprised when he somehow manages to sneak up on the man. When Reinhardt springs up, Jack keeps a close eye on the ice beneath their feet. They're both sturdy men -- there's no telling how long the ice will hold at this rate. Still, he doesn't see any cracks forming, so they seem to be fine for now.

"There are probably easier ways to get a meal, you know."

Their last conversation, though over text, had gone well. Jack doesn't know that he's at ease around Reinhardt yet, but it's slowly getting better.

Reinhardt would be screwed if he fell in, if not for Jack's presence there. Lugging a man as large as Reinhardt out of freezing cold water would be difficult, but Jack is fairly certain he could manage it. He would rather avoid that entirely, though, so he's careful as he settles down onto the stool. (He could insist that Reinhardt take it, but he already knows that's futile to try.)

He debates saying something about the gifts that Reinhardt left him a few days prior, but he refrains for now. There are other topics to discuss, and expressing gratitude might only encourage Reinhardt. Nice as the gesture had been, he had gone overboard and he needs to focus more on taking care of himself.

"Ever heard of a restaurant? I know this place is primitive, but they at least have that much." Why is Reinhardt insistent on hunting for his own food? Not that there's anything wrong with it, but Jack has to assume there's something else going on here.

Fish is good for you, and Jack won't mind grilling up whatever Reinhardt catches. It's impressive how easily Reinhardt can make him feel welcome, despite all of Jack's efforts to keep a healthy distance between them.

[personal profile] beknight 2018-01-12 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's like clockwork. It walks out of the pages of a story: A knight of the people saddles his horse, packs his supplies, and goes out into the unknown. Unnoticed to him — at first, at least — he has a shadow. Bruce is the rustle of leaves, the prickle of a presence. Reinhardt is a soldier, Bruce doesn't presume he can sneak up on the man or lurk around him too long expecting to stay hidden. He doesn't follow all the time, but he's also in these woods, scouting. Their paths intersect now and then — Bruce keeps an eye on him.

And when Reinhardt stops, turns his back, there might be a few extra packs there, saving him a return journey, along with fresh water. When he returns to either town, he'll find a few people willing to discreetly offer him supplies, but they hurry away so as not to be seen with him.

This only goes on so long. One evening, when Reinhardt's chosen to camp by a small lake, the supplies are low, and the sunset is casting a dark red light over the woods, the shadow steps out into the light.

'Fancy seeing you here,' he says, airily, like it's some grand coincidence. Bruce is in his wilderness gear, looking a little muddy with some leaves in his hair. 'How've you been?'
beknight: ([ jl ] 78.)

[personal profile] beknight 2018-02-02 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
It's perfectly normal for a man to appear out of nowhere, to another who's in the middle of the forest. Bruce flashes a quick smile at Gani, approaches with an apple just to let the horse get the sense of him up close. The animal has gotten used to him as well, but only as a shadow. Sometimes, one has to allow oneself to be seen.

Bruce isn't sure the lighting agrees with him, but he's managing.

'The knight goes on,' he says, a little more sombre but with a touch of playfulness. He thinks his double entendres are very clever. 'I have some extra water, if you were running low.'

Riku blinks, then lifts his hands - he hadn't thought that there would be anyone else out here, and he definitely hadn't intended to scare the older man. Hadn't thought there was any way to do so, really, given the other's size and all.

"Sorry about that."

He takes a step closer, eyeing the pole in the other's hand.

"Huh… I don't think I've ever seen anyone fish like that outside of books."

He himself is more the barehanded type of fisher, though even Riku wouldn't try that approach in frozen waters. Come to think of it, it's the first time he's actually seeing a frozen river. It's kind of a strange sight.

Riku frowns and keeps standing where he is for a moment – won't the other be cold like this, sitting on the ice? Riku knows he wouldn't sit down on ice for the life of him – but then takes the offered stool. He nods at the explanation though.

"That probably explains why I've only seen it in books… my home island is tropical; we usually fish with nets or traps… or just our hands."

Which so isn't an option when the water is cold enough to freeze. This is also why he takes the pole – being able to fish in the winter too; now there is a life skill he ought to master.

"Sure. Just tell me what I got to do."

He knows patience is just as necessary now as it would be if he was to stand in the river and wait to make the grab for the fishes… but beyond that, this is new territory.

He's wrong but not by much.

"Your Knightliness!"

Comes a voice from the barn's hayloft and suddenly there's a half-awake young man covered in bits of hay peering down at him and his horse.

Terra searched the Fields of the Exalted thoroughly, but there were no knights to be found there. Then he happened to remember the comment Santa made about how this Reinhardt fellow might also be found with his horse, so he checked out the local stables. The barn manager had helpfully informed him a man fitting his vague description ('a knight who's probably big and old') did keep a horse there... but that he'd left with the horse early one morning.

So, Terra hung around the barn the rest of the day, helping out with the chores when it was suggested he do so, hoping all the while the knight would return.

He doesn't remember exactly when he climbed up into the loft to 'rest a minute', but he supposes he must have dozed off... and slept through the night, by the looks of things.

Oh, well. Here's the knight he was waiting to meet... getting his horse ready again, it seems like. Busy guy.
