Tidius@t2waveTidius watched Ariel for a time, before deciding that the girl wasn't waking anytime soon. he went over to a container, and took out a few lacrima, humming and harring, debating about which one to use.
He finally chose one that was large enough to fit in his hand, but not smaller enough to be useless. It had a brown shade to it, and the magic within seemed...hard.
"Perfect" He said, grinning and moving back over to Ariel, he began to try the lacrima on her.
PennyPenny got distracted from what she was doing, as she sensed the Phoenix Slayer magic. She spun about, shocked that someone else actually had the magic. How did they get it? Penny darted out the hotel, back to the arena, looking about but the third fight was over, and Penny had no idea who had been in the battle.
She gave a sigh, figuring the answers would just have to wait. A little down, she looked up at the sky, the changing colours, and moved away from the arena again. She found amelia and Damian, just as Amelia said she wasn't taking from the guild anymore.
"it's not taking if it's offered, and besides, it's what the guild does. You haven't really had much time to go on jobs, not that that matters. You haven't taken without giving, you've been helping Jarvis and Jamie, right?"[/b]Michael[/b]
@oblivion666Michael nodded,
"I know. I just...spirit's can be so...unpredictable" He said, but nodded still. He looked back to the fight, a little taken aback by the end of the fight.
"Unless you get paired with someone who will just kick your butt if you did it" Michael pointed out, with a soft laugh. He spent a few moments trying to figure out which teams were left to fight. The sky was just starting to fade to orange and red, the sun descending through the sky
Jarvis@BurthstoneThings seemed to be drawing to a close, the last battle coming about as the first day etched towards night. and Jarvis was taking stock of things. So far, both groups seemed to be doing well.
"We've given Mayt a lot of time to get here, but it's been two days, and we expected him to be here" Jamie said, and Jarvis nodded, rising without having to be asked.
"i'll find him. Chances are, he's just caught up in his job." Jarvis said positively, but there had been more and more reports of dark guild attacks. jarvis moved aside, taking out one of his many lacrima.
Jarvis made every member of the guild carrying communication lacrima. Part of it was to have that connection, the other part was for situations like this. He could use it to track members, and this is what he did, but first he tried to contact him
""mayt?"Announcer JessieJessie giggled,a sickeningly sweet sound, as Ferris removed Sheldon. It didn't last, as the Games Master trudged back out, glaring at them both. Jessie just giggled some more, and cleared her thought.
"Such a sweet way to end a fight! It shows how...well, close you can get fighting!" She laughed again,
"it's certainly shown another side, and perhaps some good relations with the guilds!"Nash Vs Phyrra (Tough Love Vs Pirate Lord battle four
As the last battle for the day drew closer, the teams waited to see who would fight next. Those with enough wits would figure out that the only two guilds with yet to offer a combatent were Rider's Blade and Tough Love, meaning the fight would be between them.
The gargantuan lacrima screen lit up, with names and portraits while the Games Master preened, who, once the shouted out
"Pyrrha from Riders Blade, versus Nash from Tough Love! GET READY TO RUMBLE! he ushered the others out, once more leaving the two combatants in the field
As Sheldon vacated the arena, leaving only the competitors behind, one of them offered the other a wave. Nash, like most of his teammates, had not at all expected that his little, new guild would even get into the qualifying round much less the full Grand Magic Games. Both masters Henrik and Morrigan, now sitting in the stands, had been floored to discover that their friends proved not only strong enough, but clever enough to become full contenders. Of course, they did not exactly have high hopes for their ability to fight such renowned guilds as Phoenix Wing, Dragon Fang, and Frenzy Plant, but nevertheless they -and especially Nash- saw even getting in as a crowning accomplishment.
Due to this, the portly middle-aged sailor seemed rather relaxed and cheerful as he greeted his opponent. After seeing what had happened in the first round, he was more than a little determined to spark and maintain a friendly, sportsmanlike attitude; he did not fancy getting his shoulder dislocated or his spirit crushed.
"Good afternoon t'ya, lass! Looks like the admins saved the best for last, eh? I never heard-a Rider's Blade before now, but 'twould be foolish-a me to underestimate ya." He maintained his warm smile as he flicked out a card from his pocket. If Pyrrha's eyes were good, she'd see an image of a blue and green sphere on it, and in fancy text 'The World'.
"Don't go too hard on me, eh?"Pyrrha stood across from her opponent with her arms folded, seemingly lost in thought. Before the match she had talked to Master Fraquar for an prematch advice. Other then to not underestimate her opponent and keep her head about her and give it her all, he didn't say anything other then that the result didn't really matter to him in the end. Pondering why that was, she only snapped back to the present when her opponent began talking.
"
Don't call me lass. Either call me by my name or nothing at all." She said, reaching for the hand-and-a-half sword strapped across her back. After a second though, she lowered her hand. Best use it only if she needed to. At Nash's last comment, she gave him a small smile."
I'll go as hard as I want or need to. Just don't underestimate me because I'm a girl, or I'll kick your ass all over this arena and into the sea."
After a moment Nash shrugged.
"I thought I just said I wouldn't? Ah, well. We can't all be sportsmen." He straightened his cap and cracked his knuckles.
"Guess I'm ready then..." Flicking his wrist, he tossed the card into the air.
"How 'bout you, Salvoy?"There was a rumbling bellow, a colossol noise that reverberated through the ground, spectators, and whole arena as the card exploded into an amorphous mass of gleaming water that resolved itself into the shape of a
humanoid whale, no less than forty feet tall. Once fully summoned, the whale looked down at his friend and grinned, exposing teeth of baleen.
"Hi, Nash," he rumbled, and cracked his massive knuckles in a manner identical to his master's. His big, dopey eyes landed on Pyrrha.
"Aw, we gotta beat someone up? Well, okay. But we'll go do something fun after, right?""Right!""Bye then." Very abruptly, Salvoy leaned forward and dove into the ground. Rather than smacking comically against it, he actually dived right into the hard-packed sand as if it were water. The ground closed up behind him, without a single disturbance, as if the World had never existed. Nash put up his dukes.
"First move on the little lady," he said.
