What I'm Doing: Declining


"That's very kind of you, but no thank you Valian." She declined simply. "I try not to eat before a fight.


Ivela was a third year student, and had realized her first year that eating during the tournament slowed her down.

What I'm Doing: Watching and hanging out


Grim made room for her to join them, nodding to Valian as he started to move off. "Oi! Brutter could ye see if dey 'ave mead?" Glancing back to Violet and Connor as they treaded blows, wincing as he watched the lightblade slash violet's arms. Taking another look at the new girl and sniffing he thought she smelled familiar, possibly from one of the fight classes. But he swore he'd have remembered a musician in the arena, how she'd escaped him he didn't know.

What I'm doing: Grabbing snacks


Valian laughed. "I'll ask but I'm betting they don't have it this year!" He hurried to the concessions, picking up a bag of candied nuts for Grim and a bottle of water for himself. As there was no mead or any alcoholic beverages, he grabbed another water for Grim and hurried back. "No mead, sorry, but they did have nuts and I got you some water." He tossed both to his friend and sat back down.


He winced as he saw Violet get hit, letting out a bit of a hiss, then shook his head as she slammed her fists into the floor and began pulling up chunks. "I hope this room can repair itself," he muttered.


Something clicked in his head and he turned to Ivela. "Hey, you're in our year, right? 3rd? I thought you were 2nd for some reason but... you're a 3rd year like us, right?"

What I'm Doing: Talking


Ivela had been watching Violet's fight, but was only slightly alarmed at the wounds she was getting from the lightsaber. There are always injuries in a fight. At least there's no chance of death here.


At Valian's question, Ivela nodded. "Yes, I'm a third year just like you." She said with a slight smile.

What I'm Doing: Catching snacks and chatting


Grim caught the bottle of water and the candied nuts. "Damn, figures." Opening the water and taking a swig just Violet broke chunks out of the floor. Adding under his breath. "Sensei aint gonna be pleased wit' dat'" Opening the bag, taking a pawfull and popping some into his mouth, then offering the bag to the others. "Nuchs?" Through the mouthful he had already.


The otter stopped munching when he heard she was a third, with his cheek slightly puffed out he looked between the two of them. Disbelieving she was in their class. How had he not noticed her, or smelled her before? He almost forgot there was a fight going on.

Character: Tetsuko

With: Grim @Grim Wraithe Stjerna Valian @folclor and Ivela @Lunaria Silver


Doing: Making a comeback!


Tetsuko looked to be pretty much fully intact now, having gotten a short rest period, so against Frank's explicitly expressed desire she was now exploring the arena's outer areas. It didn't take long for the girl to stumble across a gathering of other students, to which she would squeal excitedly, "I found my friends again!" even though she had only met one of them, and only briefly.

Who I'm With: Grim (@Grim Wraithe Stjerna ) and Valian (@folclor ) Also strange girl. (@Pinkalyn )


What I'm Doing: Explaining


Ivela laughed at their comments on the broken floor. "It's a good tactic at least. It should be encouraged to use whatever means you can to defeat your enemies."


At Grim's look of confusion, she snickered. "You look confused. I'm an expert at blending. It's not a surprise if you don't remember me." At this point Ivela hid her presence subconsciously. It was natural to her.


When the strange girl who ate somebody in the arena came over, Ivela raised an eyebrow.


"Hello." She greeted calmly.

What I'm Doing: Chatting


Grim nodded listening to her talk about tactics and using the terrain. "Aye use wot ye can." Swallowing the last of the mouthful the otter took a serious sets of sniffs of Ivela, making a note of deadly l exactly how she smelled. 'I ain't gonna ferget'cha dis time!' He thought.


Hearing the loud squeal and smelling the oddly metallic scent of the girl that fell into the bench at breakfast. He lifted his chin and nodded to her in greeting. How had so many people come find him and Valian after three years of just being in the background? He was not about to really complain, he liked being with a friendly crowd.

What I'm doing: Hanging out


There were too many people getting close and Valian's friendly demeanor faltered a little bit. Despite his seeming extroversion, he had a very hard time getting close to others. It was frustrating that people seemed to be drawing in now. And why now? They'd just leave like the others, anyway. Still, he smiled and welcomed the strange gun girl from earlier.


"Hey, how's it going?" Whether she actually chose to respond to the question or not, he didn't care. He was just being friendly. The fight was going on too long for his comfort. He fidgeted slightly.

Who I'm with- Connor(@KalenNighteyes


What I'm doing- becoming more bored.


Violet started to dash backwards. Not excatly


Dodgeing the blade but staying right in front of it. She thought of something she landed and brought both hands fully charged down into the ground. Chucks of the arena came up. As she figured the blade cut through them but stopping it wasn't her goal. she stoped and rushed forward she gave a yell as the saber hit her shoulder. She spun around it after it hit and put her hands on the chucks. She now was rushing at Connor with big chucks of the floor. Violet charged up her hands. If the first Attack didn't work she had something else waiting for him.

Who I'm With: Violet


What I'm Doing: Fighting


As Violet began to charge at him, Connor pulled his lightsaber back to him and caught it in his hand. Taking a stance as she approached, he readied his attack. Connor wasn't quite fast enough to dodge completely out of the way and was knocked to the side by her blow. Taking a deep breath, trying to remain calm, Connor stood back up and charged at Violet now. As he neared her, he swung downward at her arms, hoping to slice at least one of them off. One less arm meant one less threat and she seemed to prefer fighting with her hands most.

What I'm doing- Fighting.


Violet threw her arms up over her head and her entire body back, but kept her feet planted. She was taking a risk, by saving her arms she was leaving her body open to a attack. Losing this fight wasn't worth loseing an arm. She watched Connor swing inches from were she had been. Once he landed and reloaded he would see the opening she had to create. She charged up both hands if the boy was petty and full of hatred like she thought he would try and put his saber through her middle. VI would make him pay dearly with two blasts at point blank range. If she went down he would go down with her. If he used a force blast he could very well end the fight or if it wasn't strong enough she would blast him. Either way it went this seemed like the last encounter of the fight.

Connor stopped and turned to look at Violet. He saw that she was wide open and it was the perfect opening. Almost too perfect. She'd been so guarded through the entire fight that it didn't make sense for her to suddenly leave such an opening by accident. He was tempted to rush for her and slice at her middle, but he also know she possessed some sort of energy blasts. With only a moment to decide, Connor elected to once again fire a blast of telekinetic energy at her. This blast was full force as he too was growing bored of this fight. He should have time to recover before another fight if this ended it.

What I'm doing- maybe he's not the worst.


Violet gave a slight grin as she saw the blast coming. Maybe this kid wasn't the petty little twat she pegged him to be. She felt the blast hit her middle.As a last gasp she threw the two blast she already had charged at him with everything she had left. She hit the ground a few feet away unable to see if her blows connected.

What I'm Doing: Finishing


Connor saw the blasts coming and knew he had time to dodge both, but in a show of good sportsman ship, he let the first one hit him and he managed to duck under the second one. Getting back up to his feet, he looked over and saw Violet laying on the ground. He wanted to go help her up, but he figured he'd wait for the verdict if this was actually the end of the fight. He would need to apologize to her for the things he'd said and shown her. It had all been an act to try and unbalance the girl for their fight. Whether it worked or not was unclear to him. However, he stood there and waited to see if this was the end.

Violet sighed looking up at the arena celing. She had intended to win the fight, but through out it all she thought to herself. Was she trying to gain Nishira's approval? Oh well, so that women wouldn't think highly of her. Who cares, being unbound wasn't the worst thing in the world. She smiled the normal Violet coming back. She seemed to gain a bit of peace from losing. Violet sat up and held her middle. "I don't think it would be wise for me to continue."

What I'm Doing: Cautiously Helping


Connor nodded and walked carefully over to Violet. He had his saber in his hands still, but it was disengaged at the moment. As he neared her, he held out his hand to her, offering to help her stand. The burn on his face was beginning to hurt somewhat as the adrenaline from the fight was beginning to wear off, and is nose was bleeding slightly. He gave Violet a small smile. "You're one hell of a fighter. I'd like to talk to you after this whole tournament is over, but I'd understand if you wanted to just tell me to piss off." Even as he said that, he still kept his hand outstretched to help her to her feet.

"Piss off." She said but she smiled and took his hand. She stood up and faced him still holding her middle. "Thanks, I'd like to speak to you as well." She gave a smile. Her shoulder hurt from the strike she suffered and she was sure a rib was broken. She was certain she could still fight, but her anger seemed to be gone now. Replaced with happiness and a peace of mind. "I don't think I need to fight anymore. I got someone to love and great friends. I'm fine just being alive. "

What I'm doing: Watching/Being Disappointed (Nishira/Why'nn)


Nishira sighed and shook her head. Neither of the combatants had gone for a kill shot. Quite unimpressive. She'd have to talk to Manara about teaching the boy to be harder. "Delrick, I don't think either of them did well... perhaps they need a lesson in ruthless tactics. I only hope this next pair is better." The headmistress waited for the two to clear off. "James Belgarion versus Flal. Begin."


Why'nn


Why'nn frowned as she watched the two fight. She'd expected more from both of them. The frowned turned into a pout, as usual, as she watched Connor help Violet out of the pit. Yes, she liked both of them but this was a battlefield simulation!


"You do not help your enemies off of the battlefield!" she seethed to James through the mindscape. "They are failing this exercise. If we fight side by side in the future, which is likely, this means neither of us can count on Connor or Violet to be entirely competent against enemies!" Why'nn took a deep breath. "Good luck on your match, James."

What I'm Doing: Talking


Connor gave a nod to Violet as the nurses ran up to both of them. "We'll talk. I'll find you after all of this is done. Need to stay focused. Get patched up." Connor gave her another small smile then headed off to find Why'nn.


Connor waved the nurses off as they tried to tend to the burn on his face. "Stop! Jesus! I'm trying to sit down and relax. Let me do that then you can do whatever!" Connor said to them as he pushed past them. Whether or not they understood him, he wasn't sure, but it didn't matter. He just wanted to sit down, relax for a minute, and recuperate before his next match if he had one. As Connor sat next to Why'nn, he noticed the frown on her face. 'Are you okay? What's wrong?' He placed his head in his hand as the nurses once again tried to work on the burn. Now Connor was beginning to get frustrated. Though he'd managed to remain calm in the fight, it seemed it was all catching up to him.

Violet gave a sigh as she sat down at the far side of the arena and had her shoulder patched up. She felt bandages being wrapped around her stomach for her chest and torso injuries. She shut her eyes, she wasn't hurt to badly all in all and she seemed to come out of it a better person. "I guess I finally won one of these fights." She giggled and looked at one of the nurses.


"Can you bring my friends over here please. Grim, Ivela and Valian."

What I'm Doing: Preparing to fight one of the many strange 'heretics' that inhabit this strange school


After watching his Field Master get defeated, the courage that Flal had previously achieved was gone, so he called back to one of the many sayings that he was taught as a child 'When in doubt flee.' But he was not in doubt he was fearful and nervous, he remembered another saying 'Just keep shooting'. He made an attempt to focus which was just barely successful and he walked out onto the field. He started to charge up a shot on his Plasma Pistol but kept the weapon behind his back out of sight. With a great amount of luck his enemy would hopefully not see the weapon.

(I got like 0 notifications about the last dozen or so posts.)


James walked out onto the field, sword in it's scabbard, and staff in his hand. On his shoulder was his familiar, a snoy owl named Artemis, who'd returned from hunting mice. Instead of adopting a fighting stance, James slowly approached his opponent in a non-threatening manner. He held out his hand, offering to shake.


"Hi there. I just wanted to say, let's have a good fight."


James was slightly tense, seeing that his opponent had one hand behind his back. A shielding spell was already prepared in his mind, ready to go the instant he saw that arm move.

What I am doing: Letting him have a piece of my mind


Why'nn whirled to face her boyfriend, a glare burning in her colorless eyes. 'You do not understand. This is not simply a battle. This is not a grudge between you and she. This is a battlefield exercise. If that is how you treat your enemies they will destroy you. In the pit you should be treating your opponent as if they are attempting to kill you, no matter who it is. Battles are not games, Connor. They are not things to be taken lightly. You were not trying to kill her and she was not trying to kill you. In a real battle that will not cut it. You will die if you fight so lightly. And before you say that this is a school or that this is just part of a tournament or you do not really want to hurt the person you are fighting you must remember that most warriors do not get this opportunity. Most do not enjoy not having to pull their punches. This room, Father's domain, will not let us die when we fall. You should have gone for the killing blow and so should she.' She stood, her manner grim, and waited for his response.

What I'm Doing: Trying To Reason


Connor finally managed to push the nurse away so he could just have his conversation with Why'nn. Healing could wait at this point. 'You expected me to, when she had surrendered, strike a killing blow? Not everything has to be so absolute, Why'nn. Sure, I wasn't giving it one hundred percent out there in that fight, but I fail to see why I should have. Why drain all of my strength on a single fight? There times when a killing blow is appropriate and there are times when one isn't. I know exactly what the arena does, but this wasn't the fight to expend all of my energy. There was no point. This tournament is only going to get harder as it goes on, and there doesn't seem to be a break for a day in sight to recuperate. If you want to expend all of your energy on a single battle, that's up to you. That's how you fight, not how I fight.' Connor wanted to wince at the pain he was feeling, but he managed to hold it together. Now was the not the time to show any amount of weakness to Why'nn. She was already, apparently, angry at him for not giving a killing blow on someone who was clearly surrendering.

Who I am with: Connor (@KalenNighteyes)


What I am doing: Correcting


Why'nn crossed her arms, her glare not dissipating. 'This is not about the killing blow! This is not about attacking honorlessly when an opponent has surrendered! You do not seem to understand. I will not leave that pit a loser unless I am physically unable to fight anymore. She surrendered with the possibility of going on and you would have as well in her situation. You cannot simply end a battle when it becomes difficult. When you get hurt in a real battle there are no nurses on the sidelines. You do not seem to understand that if this were not in the arena, if this were an actual war you would be dead with the performance you put out. She would be too. I know you have not been in a real battle, but in every situation you must put your whole self forward. Otherwise...' She shook her head. 'Otherwise your friends will be left to pull your corpse from the field when it is done. And strength is not denying one's injuries, Connor.'
