[b]jarvis[/b] [@silver fox][@burthstone] It was Jarvis who responded to Karn running unchecked, teleporting quickly from the hotel, where he had been watching the games, to the stadium. He glanced at Luna, but his attention turned back to Karn. Jarvis shifted, crossing his arms as if his stature could stop the rampaging Karn. [color=aba000]"If you are seeking to help, keep him busy but do not injure him. I'll set some lacrimas to contain him, for now"[/color] Jarvis didn't wait for a response, beginning to walk about Karn, and the ring, placing every so often lacrima, which glowed and seemed to connect to the others. Jarvis didn't think this was Karns fault. Something's was happening, and Jarvis hoped that by isolating Karn, it would stop whatever was influencing him. [b]gabriel[/b] [@oblivion666] [color=8dc73f]"you're angry. I didn't ask for help. I was just following Sanders orders. I said I could do this."[/color] Gabriel said, [color=8dc73f]"and I'd rather not have you kill yourself, or endanger the contests up there, to teach you what can't be taught in five minutes. So you can just be angry. Wouldn't be the first time someone is angry at me for trying to do the right thing"[/color] Gabriel sighed, watching the lacrima, but no more magic was being drawn out. Still, Gabriel wanted to maintain this. At Ike's questioning, Gabriel sighed heavily. [color=8dc73f]"you don't understand. I only have a lot of magic, because it's necessary to summon some of the spirits I do. I can't really fight with it. Something like Phoenix wing...well. I couldn't see myself there. I guess... I've seen a lot. I've seen soldiers do horrible things, experienced some of that. I've seen what fighting can do, and I know what it is to not have any control over what you do. I guess...I guess I just need to see that not all soldiers are bad. I don't want to use my spirits to progress further in the guild, because...because I don't want to treat them like slaves...because I know what it feels like to be one. It doesn't mean I won't learn how to fight, with them, and with a weapon. It doesn't mean I won't do what needs to be done. It means I understand that sometimes you ha e no choice in fighting. But it also means I want to search for the way that isn't fighting, because of what I've seen. It means that maybe, I can help frenzy plant be better, as it makes me better"[/color] he gave a shrug, and remembered his hand from the lacrima, figuring the danger had passed for now. [b]michael[/b] [@silver fox] Michael flinched as Prince attacked him, much like an angry cat. Michael had, perhaps unconsciously, expected that. Something was going wrong. He rose, to follow after Prince, when his messenger angel came back. Michael hesitated, not wanting to leave Prince. He bit his lip, and then summoned Uriel, asking the angel to keep an eye on Prince, before following the messenger, figuring, hoping that this would help Prince. The messenger winked out of existence, and Michael faced the pipe wielding stranger. [color=00a651]"what the hell are you doing?"[/color] he demanded, with more force then he expected.
