"You know, if her 'there's always a way attitude' was a thing. She probably should put all that effort into ya know... maybe reviving her own brother. And her parents.... and possible any other oh so poor little suffering baby child that's probably around. Seems magic just magically fixes everything. She's quite a idiot really. The world doesn't quite work out that way." Pen mused, laying his back on the table at the restaurant they entered.

"I believe you were one of those power hungry for said magic. Don't have much room to talk." she thought back as she took a seat. She didn't particularly care if this Sasha liked her or not. At least Karn apologized, but she wasn't about to go to groveling. Nor was she exactly going to forgive and forget this world's Lazarus stunt, or what this world's Mayt had done. Neither had a right to do what they did. Mayt's crime was quite a bit worse compared to Lazarus, but it could as easily gone sour if Edo-Lazarus was no longer had a ounce of decency in him instead of just a moronic idiot. She wasn't exactly going to forgive him immediately either, and she despised she wasn't there with her guild to make sure they were safe. They honestly can just be as trusting as this world's Guild. Only one who would be horribly suspicious is Mayat. It was worrying. Perhaps he did turn over a new leaf, doesn't exactly mean he learns from his stupidity. Still... she supposed her Sasha was a bit on her toes and Jamie won't let anything too bad happen if they can help it.

Looking over the menu, her eyes narrowed a little at the lettering. The language seemed a bit different here, but the past King wrote a few books so she didn't have too much trouble. Glancing to Trinity, the blonde thought for a moment and nodded a little. "Yeah. There's quite a bit of music back home, though I didn't pay too much attention when I was building machines. There were war songs, silly ones, hopeful ones. I sung one to Sammy when couldn't sleep, Ben too but he got too big to be sung to sleep." she answered calmly as she blinked a little at the instrument that appeared out of no where.

"Can you just pull out any instrument from thin air?" she asked.

@Raijinslayer

Anya nodded and listened to Jack speak, she frowned slightly as he said nothing that would confirm or deny her suspicions. She'd just have to talk to him more privately after the games or hope he revealed himself to her in some way. It would be kinda cool to talk to another immortal, after all. "Yeah..people are foolish. In the end, the power they sought to control ends up destroying them again and again.." She told him, partially remembering the day she became what she was, and the irony in how closely what Jack had said resembled what happened.

Her attention, however, was quickly drawn away back to the fight when things heated up. When the water and wind happened it surprised Anya, causing her to shout in surprise and cover her hair with her arms so it didn't become a giant black mess. Her efforts were mostly in vain, the wind pulled the majority of her hair free from the pink clips that bound her twin ponytails in place.

Sighing she just undid it altogether, it fell to her back and partially on the back of her seat as it got caught on it in one black, wet, tangled mass. It didn't really bother her much, it was worth it, that fight was damn cool after all. Once everything calmed down partially an excited expression graced her face, "That was so awesome!" She shouted happily before turning to Jack. "Did you see that? That was cool huh!" She asked him, smiling excitedly.

Nidhogg was a little less than pleased about getting drenched in water, giving a scouring glare at the woman on the screen as if he wanted her to combust into flames. Sadly, he didn't have such power, so hearing her screams of agony would have to wait another day, for she was definitely prey worthy of his utmost effort. Same for the young Godslayer, who did very well considering the odds. I wonder if I should pay the boy a visit. It's been awhile since I've tasted the flesh if a slayer. Hmmm, not now, too many mages in one place to pull a stunt like that, but after the games. . .

A ghost of a smile danced across Nidhogg's face, the thought of the hunt to come after these festivities getting his heart pumping with gluttonous energy. As Anya spoke to him with her childish excitement, he was currently wringing the water from his hair and mutter some slight apologies to those behind him, as the wind had caused his braid to whip around a smack another viewer across the face. Judging from the mischievous gleam in his eyes, however, it seemed very unlikely that he felt even remotely remorseful about it.(@Lmpkio could be Marlene/Samir if you wish)

"Aside from the unexpected splash zone, I must admit that it was pretty exhilarating." Nidhogg replied after he dismissed those behind him, giving her his full attention. "But hopefully the battles to come will far outshine that little scuffle. While we wait for that announcement, I must ask: What rank do you hold in your guild, and how do you feel you measure up? That God Slayer is a member of Phoenix Wing, do you think you could fight him on equal terms. What about that Indigo woman?"

@Shikaru



Argus looked back at Owen with a steely expression as he talked, resisting the urge to tell the man where he could stick his Rapier. He wasn't sure how much of this was from residual magic, or how unneeded he felt Owen's words were. "Old habits are hard to break, especially when you're stuck with a magic that is actively trying to get me to use them. And as far as my problem's go, I'm bit going to tell then to a bunch of people I just met, of which more than half had raised their weapon or wielded their magic against me." Argus growled out the last part, his eyes glowing slightly in response to Owen's prying. It there was one thing he hated, it was when people tried to force him to talk about his past. He'd had enough bad memories resurfacing from repression for one day, and he didn't want to add to it. "If I ever feel like telling you, then I'll tell you, but that's my call to make."

Argus turned away from Oweb to stare at the fire, giving a short shrug after Ike finished his bout of talking, not really having much to say. he didn't know Iska personnally, so he couldn't really soeak in her defense. "I don't know, man, just seens excessive." At that point, he was thinking about may e going fir another walk through the city, when Gaberial spoke up with his own opinion. Was it insensitive as hell? Yes, but Owen's response was way over the top, and really uncalled for. Jane and Ike gave dismissive responses, much more restrained then the swordsman's, but only Ike seemed to see the situation for what it really was: the kid being an idiot.

Gaberial gave his own response, pulling examples from his own life to price he knew suffering before he stormed offed. Shortly after, Argus sighed, scratching his head in annoyance. "I really hope this doesn't blow up in my face." He muttered under his breath as he got up, giving Ike a pat on the shoulder as he passed. "I'm off to stick my mode where it doesn't belong be suse I can't help myself, so we'll have to eat some other time. Oh, and if you're going to the games, find a girl with glasses and black hair and tell her that Argus sends his regards and apologies. . . oh, and give her these." He tossed Ike to pieces of wrapped up rock candy and three silver lacrima in a baggy. "Some candy and really good fireworks. Be careful with those, you don't want to be close by when they go off. Oh, and if you aren't going, just keep'em. Consider it an apology of sorts, . . . or just chuck 'me in a garbage can, if ya aren't into that sort of thing." And with little more than a wave, Argus was off.

It took him a while to find Gabriel's trail,but years of improv survival helping him to identify the mage's tracks. Once he spotted the clearing up ahead, he took to the trees, using his Mage to create his own footholds and making his way to an area high above. He then re-quipped a few smoke lacrima. He chuckled to himself, readying himself for an epic entrance. . . only to suddenly hear an ominously loud creaking sound. Looking back, he saw that he had seemed to have cut a hole into the branch he was standing in with his magic once he grabbed it. This plus his weigh and movement equalled Gabriel becoming very aware of Argus' presence when a loud snap heralded him crashing into the ground a little ways a way. He shakingly got himself up, looking as I'd he was about to say something, only for the lacrima to fall around him. This resulted in him getting accidentally inhaling some if the smoke, which warranted another minute of gasping as he struggled to find his way out if the dense cloud, coughing and hacking until he finally did so, kneeling in the ground and heaving large amounts of air into his lungs.

Once he was certain he could breath again, Argus slowly rose to a standing position, hissing in pain as several areas in his body protested the idea. "Just for the record, that was supposed to be a fantastic entrance, until I was reminded that people aren't meant to climb trees. Man, that hurts, thing I fractured something, or more likely, a couple somethings." Argus took a few more seconds to acclimate himself to the pain, letting out some choice words as he did so, before turning his attention back to Gabriel. "So, Ganriel was it, I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Argus Leandros, just call me Argus, never call me Arg, and I. . . have come to have a chat. Nothing about you, or me, or whatever just happened at the camp, just a friendly chat between two newbies to the guild. You game for that?"

"Ohohoho, I don't get how your guild keeps getting all of these pretty women, but I have to say, I'm jealous."

Both Samir and Marlene were caught quite off-guard as the oni Enma came right behind them. Samir was considering on slapping him, but he quickly pulled his head away from them. Samir wasn't too fond of the oni. Was it because of his personality? Or was it that he looks more beastly then human? Whatever it is, Samir just kept silent and made a "Hmph!" as she crosses his arms. And considering that he managed to take a peak at Marlene in the nude, including the other way around, Marlene was already slightly uncomfortable with him being around.

"Oh hiiiiii..." Marlene answers with a faint wave.

"Heh, looks like Nolan really pissed off Indigo. Only that nutcase could pull off something like that!"

And on top of the oni's head, was Nolan's exceed Dalton, cheering him on.

"He can take her on! Go Nolan!"

But it was here that Marlene's eyes light up yet again as he sees the adorable little exceed.

"Dalton!" she exclaims excitingly as she pulls him into a hug, once again having Dolan dive accidentally into her boobs.

The Archer would give a friendly chuckle as they all continue to watch the battle going at hand.

@Raijinslayer

"Yeah, the water was a bit unexpected, but kinda fun." She told him, giggling softly. "I hope so too, I can't wait to see them." She waited a bit to answer his questions, contemplating what he said. "I'm A Class, so, I think I'd stand a good chance against him. Though, I don't have a wide range of magic, I'm stronger than I look. As for Indigo..I doubt it. I mean, it'd be kinda fun to try, but she's super strong. I'd have to get extremely lucky to even be even with her." She replied.

In truth, she would gladly spar the both of them, if only perfect her magic further. Though, she doubted she could fight remotely on par with Indigo, she felt she stood a decent chance against Nolan, especially if she sparred him soon after she fed.

Turning her attention away from her thoughts she looked up at Jack, "What about you? Are you in a guild and stuff? If so which one, annnnd do you think you could beat those guys?" She asked him, curious.

Gabriel blinked at the sound of the branch snapping, looking up to witness Argus falling out the tree. To top the entrance off, Argus seemed to be chocking on some smoke. He watched, unsure it he could help or not, and thus waited it out. Of argus appeared to be in true distress, Gabriel would help. As it was, Argus seemed to regain composure quickly enough. He sighed wondering why Argus had followed him, and wondering what the chances were of him losing Argus in the trees.

"it's Gabriel, not Ganriel" he said in an annoyed time, tired and just wanting to be alone. Argus didn't seem to understand that. Gabriel looked away, refusing to acknowledge the sting of tears. "I don't particularly feel like chatting" he said, giving a soft sigh. The blue haired boy shifted, glancing about, looking for a way out of this. "I'm not exactly new to the guild, as I've been around for a few months. Evidently that hasn't been long enough though"

He shoved his hands into his pockets, feeling the reassuring weight of his spirit keys, as he shifted, wanting to escape.
@Raijinslayer

(OOC: Umbrella for plot convenience XD)
@rivaan
Angela Arthur James Jessica
"I'll never give up trust me. And I've tried that as well." James said with a slight smirk before sighing.
Angela nodded in understanding as she switched with Janna before looking up at the screen to watch the fight going on.
"Woh!Their magic is awesome!" Angela called out excitedly while tugging on Janna's sleeve. Her eyes danced with excitement as she watched the fight between Indigo and Nolan on the screen.
"Pfft...Know what? We're not hiding anything." Arthur profusely denied. His eyes gave it away through with their constant left to right and right to left movement.
James sighed and went to open his mouth before a sudden torrent of water overcame them all. Angela cried out as her hair was zapped into a comical shape while her clothes were soaked to the bone.
Arthur tried to blow his soaked hair out of his face, but the water made it far too heavy so instead he grumbled in annoyance.
Jessica was completely fine though, because in one watch in slow motion just as the attacks had collided James had dashed over, stole someone's umbrella and had used it to shield Jessica from the water.
Of course he still got soaked to the bone, but he didn't seem that bothered and just tried to strain some water from his clothes.

@Lunarlors34

“Seriously... stop already.” Janna stated to Arthur with calm voice and looked at him with serious gaze.” Look at yourself. You whatever you say, your body language gives away you are trying to hide something.” She stated and put a hand on his shoulder with a smile.” Now calm down, drink some water or something and take a deep breath or you will be the cause of the problem, not Angela.”

Janna was about to say something else when suddenly a huge torrent of water appeared over them. Moment later they were all like wet chickens... The former thief made a shocked noise as she took a few deep breaths, pulling her long wet hair away from her face.” I want to kill... someone...” She suddenly said. He health was already bad... this was surely going to get her sick.

“Angela, you okey?” She asked, pulling a piece of cloth from her leather bag and started wiping the water off the child's face.

War songs? But, before that, Karn asked her a question. Finished tuning her violin, Trinity called another instrument, replacing the one she just tuned. A viola, and then a cello, and finally her favored harp. The rest were already well tuned fairly in tune, so they didn't take her long. With a flick of her wrist, she summoned the other three at once, and touched her fingers to the strings. "Check it out, Sasha. I've been practicing. I don't have to start them by hand anymore." She starts by playing a melody once through before the other strings join her.

After she plays it once through, she stops playing on her harp, but the other three instruments continue. "Are war songs very common in Edolas? Are there a lot of marches?"

The moment they were allowed to leave the arena to look through town, Krystal used her magic to make a giant bird, which she jumped onto before it took to the skies. Once she was high enough, she looked down at the city below her. Her interest in the Games wasn't particularly high at this point in time. Her loss to Karn, or more accurately how she had lost, was still fresh in her mind. If Master Fraquar hadn't stepped in, she wasn't sure what she would do. She sighed as she looked around, wondering where to look for these crystals. There were hidden all over the city and Crocus was huge. Couldn't they have at least given them riddles or something.

Shaking her head, she had her bird take her to a nearby park before dismissing it in a shower of glittering dust. Glancing around, she walked off in the direction that struck her fancy first. As she walked, she kept an eye out for any of the crystals she was looking for. After a couple of minutes, she came across a large fountain with several people around it. As she drew closer, she noticed that there was a blue crystal like the ones they had been shown in the arena. Guessing it was the blue one she was looking for, she made a small bird and had it retrieve the crystal. Examining it for a second, she pocketed it before moving on, knowing she needed to find seven others.

She explored town as thoroughly as she could, making slow progress as time went one. She found the purple crystal attached to one of the hands of a clock tower while the red crystal was near a blacksmith, she figured for ironic reasons. The orange crystal she found was given to her by a woman who had her pick it out from a group of five identical crystals. Thankfully, her training in her parents' jewelry store helped her pick it out with ease. The indigo crystal was in the sign of a florist shop and the green crystal was located in the center another park's flower garden on a pedestal. Though it took some effort and more then a little luck, she found the yellow crystal on top of a random street lamp.

Having seven of the eight crystals, she closed her eyes and thought to herself. Where would you hide a rainbow colored crystal? It would have to be somewhere people rarely visited. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes and moved towards the palace. Where better to hide something then somewhere people were usually forbidden to go. Reaching the outer perimeter, she used a construct to get over the wall and begin exploring the grounds. While it took some time, she found what she was looking for and, with all the crystals in hand, she once more made a giant bird to fly back the to arena.

Jack had been watching Shujin's progress and smiled when he finished, but couldn't help but notice the arrival of the teleportation mage. Approaching the young mage, he taps the man's shoulder. "You seem to be looking for someone. Might I be of assistance?"

Emory
@Zarkun

Emory turned to face the man and swiftly held out his hand in a shake gesture "hey my name's Emory, and in looking to join Dragon Fang or rather learn about it so I can join, I wanted to speak to the guild leader, are you him?" Emory dusted at his clothes selfconciously and brushed at his hair with his fingers.

Jack nods and smiles. "That I am. We can head back to the hotel and grab the guild stamp."

"Hmm, it's good to know your limits, and even better to always be striving to achieve. Keep working hard, and I'm sure you'll get stronger in no time." Unless I get to you first, little dove, cause then you'll be little more than my pet for as long as you live As she turned the question back to him, he only offered a mischievous smile in return. "Second Question first, I'm sure I could take on the God Slayer with only moderate difficulty. Biggest Problem would be the fact that his Ash attacks have the added choking hazard, but I'm sure I could find a way to combat that. As for Indigo, I'd say I'd definitely be able to draw even with her, but her versatility with her books would definitely be an issue. If only I had a way to hamper her ability to use them, or better yet, destroy the one the lets her clone herself, then it'd be much more in my favor, but still not a certain thing."

Nidhogg stayed silent for awhile as he looked on, feeling a surge of hunger pass through him. It had been awhile since he'd last fed and it was starting to gnaw at him. He might have to miss a fight or two in order to get himself a little snack. "As for being apart of a guild. . . what'd be the fun in just telling you. You have to work for it if you want that kind of information, either with a guess or . . . by stripping me down and trying to find the guild mark yourself. It's your choice, and I'll only give you one hint: my guild is all about having fun." Nidhogg's grin never faded as he reclined in his chair, wondering if she would be able to guess what guild he was apart of. He doubted it, since it was a dark guild, and he also doubted she'd try and strip him to find out, though that would be interesting if she did.

@Shikaru



"Gabriel, right, sorry, I'm bad with names." Argus said with a small chuckle, followed by a gran as he fell onto his back, his body aching in pain from the action. "And usually the best time for chats are the times you don't feel like chatting. And we can talk about any topic, like how hot the girls in Frenzy Plant seem to be." Argus said, an ever so sightly lecherous smile on his face as he thought of the women he'd met so far in the guild.

"Jane, when she isn't actively trying to shoot you, has a pretty rockin' body for sure, that glass user was also pretty cute, as is Cecilia, and Ari, and Ni . . . really, for a militaristic guild, I was expecting a lot more of the scary looking type of women. You know, the kind that look like they'll gut you as soon as look at you." Argus cleared his head with a shake of his head, giving a slight cough. "Or, if that isn't your cup of tea, we can talk about other stuff, like our magic, interesting events tat happened in our lives, anything really. If we're going to be in the same guild, might as well get to know each other better."

@Caits

@Raijinslayer

Anya listened intently as he spoke, he said similar things to what she had, only kinda opposite. She frowned to herself when she refused to answer her question on what guild he was in. She turned around in her chair sitting on her knees and staring at him with a blank slightly annoyed expression. She could either guess, or assault him and strip his clothes down to figure it out.

She continued staring at him blankly for a few minutes longer, deciding on what to do. "Hmmm." She started. "I pick...option two!" She shouted, jumping over her seat and landing on Jacks shoulders, attempting to get a good enough grip on his shirt as he squirmed to rip it apart.

Sure. She might get kicked out of the stadium, but one does not simply offer a much more fun option after a boring one.

Location: Domus Flau, Crocus

Grane was watching the games as he heard Sayatachi call his name. He heard was she said. While watching the games, he said "Well, I'm not the only one only old member that joined the new Council. Masahiko and Carrie were also part of the old and I can trust them enough to not be as corrupted like the other old members. But if you are wondering why I decided to remain a member for the new Council. That is because I believe the Council can be a force of good with good. Unlike how it was before when some of the old members used and ruined Council's reputation."

With how some of the old Council members acted with their power and the day when Phoenix Wing came to stop them. While the new Council was being created, it made Grane think about what he could have done differently. Turning away from the games, he faced Sayatachi, giving her his full attention "Before in the old Council, I frequently went out on missions and oversaw them. Always away from the Council thinking the it would never become corrupt, I trusted the old members as I did with the previous council members that came before them. But it was because that trust that I didn't see what was really happening with the Council. When the new Council was being created, I made a promise to myself that I would meet with my fellow council members more frequently and in person to prevent what happened to the Council a few months ago. So tell Ms. Nijiko, why did you decide to become a council member?" But before she could answer, Grane had to asked something that he just realized. "Before you came back here, why were away for so long?"

@Lmpkio


Location: Crocus Street

Seeing as the games already started for today, it could be difficult to find some wizards if they're not at their hotel. "I could try asking some wizards, but it would be probably best if the wizard already seen Shutler before. He would knew when someone is staring at him to long and get too suspicious. But someone who traveled to Edolas and possibly seen could help. If you're not too busy, could you please bring me to someone from the guild that went to Edolas with you? If you can't remember what you seen, maybe someone else could."

@Burthstone

NOLAN

Ugh, well that could've went better. There he was, plastered against a wall from the blast of the collisions and soaked from head-to-toe. Slowly, he pulled himself away from the wall and fell down to the ground on his hands and knees. That attack took all that Indigo and Nolan had and even though another person would've been happy to push her to use all of her strength and come out alive, he was less than pleased. He had hoped that he would've become strong enough to surpass her, but he was still too short on power to beat her. It looked like he still had ways to go to go if he wanted to get past that kind of strength.

Slowly, he walked through the gate of the stadium and soon found himself back in the arena. He walked towards Sheldon and pulled all eight of the different colored lacrima from his pockets as proof that he had completed the task before shoving them back in his pockets. Now that he had gotten a better look of himself, he realized that his hoodie was tattered all over and as well as his pants. It was uncomfortable to have this damp, torn rag on his torso so he unzipped it and tossed it to the side. What the audience got was a view of Nolan's lean, muscular body that glistened in the sunlight. "I should've brought some backup clothes from my room..." For some odd reason he felt like he was getting stared at much more than he expected.

FERRIS

Hey I'm supposed to be the model here! Ferris thought to himself as Nolan stripped his shirt off. If there was one thing he developed as a model was a sense of competition when it came to appearances since the better looking ones got the good gigs. He cleared his throat and leaned into the microphone, going back to his cheerful, energetic tone. "It looks like that the events of this game are about to be wrapped up! Who's the winner and who's the loser? What do you think Jess?"

ENMA AND DALTON

"Sheeeesh, talk about giving the cold shoulder. Come on, I'm not that bad. I don't bite, much." He chuckled and at that moment, a giant splash of water rained all over him from the collision of Indigo and Nolan's attacks. His pony tail sagged down and his bangs hung down in long spikes. "Oh I'm gonna get back at ashy for this one." He cracked his knuckles with a wide grin on his face, completely ignoring the fact that Dalton was resting on the mountains of happiness.

Somehow, Dalton popped out from in-between her chest and landed on her lap and snuggled up to her. He sure loved the attention he got from her since she spoiled him whenever she saw him. "Enma face it, ya not a ladies man. Get on my level." The Exceed stuck his tongue out at the oni, who glared at the bipedal feline with piercing red eyes.

"...I will punt you to the moon later you damn-" He stopped mid-sentence at the sight of Nolan stripping his hoodie and he instantly could tell that a large section of the female audience was checking him out. "...Life's not fair."

@Expolar


"Well, I'm not the only one only old member that joined the new Council. Masahiko and Carrie were also part of the old and I can trust them enough to not be as corrupted like the other old members. But if you are wondering why I decided to remain a member for the new Council. That is because I believe the Council can be a force of good with good. Unlike how it was before when some of the old members used and ruined Council's reputation."

Sayatchi continues to listen patiently as Grane began to continue, already facing towards her.

"Before in the old Council, I frequently went out on missions and oversaw them. Always away from the Council thinking the it would never become corrupt, I trusted the old members as I did with the previous council members that came before them. But it was because that trust that I didn't see what was really happening with the Council. When the new Council was being created, I made a promise to myself that I would meet with my fellow council members more frequently and in person to prevent what happened to the Council a few months ago. So tell Ms. Nijiko, why did you decide to become a council member? And before you came back here, why were away for so long?"

Rainbow Majesty's response was simply a small sigh.

"It's pretty much due to the same goals as you, darling." she begins, "But I came from the height of luxury you see, which if treated most incorrectly can be riddled with such corruptive filth. I was born in a very powerful family, who happened to gain many representative and corporative powers during the waining years of Fairy Tail's dismantlement. They were pretty nasty in their ways of getting what they want. Blackmail, bribery, patronage, all sorts of fraud. Frankly they wanted me to just follow in their footsteps, while telling me the world was just rainbows and butterflies. It was pathetic really...

She pauses as she takes a sip of wine from her cup that she brought along with her.

"But you see... I was born above them. I was more then they could ever be. BETTER then them. And that ticket... comes from my magic. I was pretty talented in it, mostly with fibers that I once used to help my mother with a clothing corporation. Yet I began to practice using it for law after I got transmitted to a small dependent guild, where I built up my powers to its greatest maximum limits. That's how I was able to discover and unlock my Light Spectrum magic. Eventually, I decided to use them for an even greater cause. And so... I joined the Council."

Sayatachi then takes another sip of her wine. She was talking way more personal life then she really wanted too, but she none of the less didn't care. After all, he trusts Grane and barely anyone has heard her talk about her past. Might as well let him have a piece of it too.

"As for why I was gone for so long, it was due to close family. My cousin who lives in Minstrel, happened to be very sick at the time, so I was forced to come and visit her. Very nice person, and very much in common with one another. And in a way, it was a blessing for me, for I unintentionally avoided taking part of the whole... collapse of the Council. Though I must ask... even though I heard some things that lead to its collapse in the papers, I heard very little of what went down. Mind if you kindly jog my memory again Grane-dear?"

---

@hatakekuro


A loud, attractive whistle comes from Samir as if she was howling towards Nolan's smoking hot body. Marlene continues to look on in awe, still holding Dalton in her arms. She knew he was attractive, but to have a body as lean and fit as this? She already began to feel a little hot inside, like sorta what happened yesterday, but thankfully not nearly as close for her to rampage through the whole arena. Perhaps that crazy side of her had a good damn point on trying to date him, despite his fear on women, which here it even looks as the women didn't affect him at all.

"...Life's not fair." Enma would then mutter to himself.

And Marlene can relate to him for once...

Gabriel
@Raijinslayer
Gabriel sighed in annoyance. "No, I mean I really, really, really don't feel like chatting" He said, his voice conveying his annoyance, rubbing his eyes as if when he removed his fingers and opened his eyes again, Argus would be gone. But that didn't happen, and Argus just seemed intent on being a pain in the behind as he began to talk about the Frenzy Plant girls. Gabriel hadn't exactly had time for girls in his life, and he didn't think it was appropriate to be discussing guild mates, female guild mates, like this. "They will gut you as soon as they look at you if you try anything inappropriate" He said, taking great enjoyment in saying that to Argus, hoping it would convince Argus to just disappear, to leave him alone.

Gabriel sighed again when Argus still seemed to be there, wondering if he could just walk away. He contemplated that for a few moments, but it wasn't appealing to him right then. Maybe he could just force Argus to leave him alone, and intent on doing that, Gabriel leaned back against a tree, crossing his arms over his chest, and staying silent.

There was resentment there, Gabriel knew, and he snarled as he broke his silence, saying "You shouldn't have attacked Ike when I had him nearly calmed down, now I doubt if he'll trust a word anyone in the guild says again"

Sasha

Sasha flinched at the mention of Ben, spilling some water out of her cup as she went to bring it to her mouth, and she lowered it carefully. She thought she had got passed Ben being alive in Edolas. She supposed she hadn't, and she swallowed around a lump in her throat, painfully. Part of her would always wonder if she didn't have magic, would Ben be alive? As Trinity spoke to her, Sasha tried to appear normal, listening as she played a melody.

She wanted to ask, wanted to know, but she didn't think it was appropriate to do so, So Sasha pursued the menu, using it to hide her face as she fought for control. "Practice makes perfect, it seems. Your playing was always good though, Trinity"

Jessie leaned back when the event seemed to be over, wondering just how the contestants did it, she was exhausted just watching them, announcing. She let out a slow breath, and smiled to herself. Perhaps it was just because of the night before. "I don't think anyone can predict Sheldon's mind! Nor do I think anyone would want to! Who knows whats in that head?" She said, and laughed merrily, "And looks like we're taking a short break as Sheldon calculates the scores! We'll know in a few moments hopefully!"

Turning her mic off, she leaned back, letting out a slow breath. The glamour was draining her energy as well, tiring her out and she toyed with letting it go. But she was just a little vain. She did rub at her eyes, almost like a child. "Well, I'm hungry. What do you think the chances are Sheldon will take longer then a few minutes?"

Games Master Sheldon

As the Event seemed to be over, with thirty seconds to spare, Sheldon hummed happily, "Give me a few moments to review all data!" Sheldon seemed to take longer then that, not noticing that Damian appeared to disappear for a time, but was evidently pleased as he counted out each teams Lacrima.

Finally, though Sheldon began his announcement, "Well, this certainly wasn't easy to chose, but, I think these scores are perfect! While some contestants appeared to run into trouble, there was some fantastic chances for them to show off their critical thinking! All found their lacrimas, and that is just fabulous! Here are the scores!

Tough Love, ten points!
Frenxy Plant, 9 points!
Phoeix Wing A, 9 points!
Phoenix Wing B, 7 points!
Dragon Fang, 6 points!
Riders blade 5 points!
Iron Enigma 4 points!
Pirate lord, 3 points!)"

Angela whined in protest as Janna started to wipe her face but didn't do much else otherwise.
"I suppose you're right." Arthur sighed as he looked back towards the lacrima vision. It would seem that the event was almost over, which would mean Angela would start screaming in excitement at the magic during the fights.
He sighed again as he tried to strain some more water from his hair and clothes, grumbling under his breath as he did about guild wizards all being a pain in the butt.
James meanwhile had disappeared while Jessica continued to munch on her popcorn and looked over at Arthur with an amused look in her eye.
"Not even that wet." She chuckled to herself as she hadn't realised that James had shielded her from the water torrent. Instead she just continued to much on her popcorn and watch the games unfold.
After a while James returned and he was completely dry and now threw a towel over to Janna and Angela.
"Here, dry yourselves off with that." James said before sitting back down next to Jessica.
