[center][@Leslie Hall] [h2][b][color=f49ac2]Marlene[/color][/b][/h2][/center] Thankfully for Bullet, while Marlene heard words coming from Bullet, she was unaware on what those words were forming into. She was more interested in why the games had been canceled. Surely it must be due to something serious, but what could it possibly be? Terrorists? A dark guild attack? Marlene sighs as she tries to figure out what might've caused for the games to be canceled. "[color=FireBrick][i]Hmm, weird. Do the royals usually make an appearance for the games? Must be something serious.[/i][/color]" says Bullet who sounded puzzled as well. [b][color=f49ac2]"Not really... unless an emergency situation like this occurs,"[/color][/b] answers Marlene while scratching her head, [b][color=f49ac2]"Whatever the reason may be, I guess that means the games are over this year."[/color][/b] She then thinks of what she may do for the last day now that the games were over. She thought for a few seconds until suddenly remembering something that Samir mentioned before [b][color=f49ac2]"Hey,"[/color][/b] she says to Bullet as she stands up, [b][color=f49ac2]"This is going to sound sudden, but a friend of mine mentioned to me yesterday that there's going to be a Ball celebration tonight. I'll be going with her, but since you're here, do you want to join us?"[/color][/b] She also remembered about both the Nolan and Argus incidents from earlier this week. She should certainly apologize to Nolan but also try and avoid Argus, fearing he may try to cause trouble with her again. But otherwise, the night should be rather fun to hang around. [hr] [center][@Oblivion666] [b][h2][color=fff200]Samir Saron[/color][/h2][/b][/center] Samir sighed in regards to the man's response, responding with an added tsk. [b][color=fff200]"Yeah it's to be expected."[/color][/b] she responds while folding her arms in, [b][color=fff200]"I was only able to get my room for half-off because of my long mission. I was even lucky to have returned during the games you know? And now the games have been canceled. Something incredibly urgent must've come up on their schedule I bet..."[/color][/b] The man only shrugged, continuing with his theory, [color=f26522]"[i]Yet I can only speculate on why it ended so quickly, mostly at the last day. It may very well be reasons we will never know. Which guild did you want to win anyway miss?[/i]"[/color] The archer turns her head towards Gambit. [color=fff200][b]"Like overall or this particular battle?"[/b][/color] she asked curiously, only to answer them herself, [color=fff200][b]"Overall, I wanted Phoenix Wing to win, since I'm part of their guild. For this battle? ...Also Phoenix. I know, it makes me sound way too egotistical and all, but I gotta say, Pirate Lord was pretty creative in their tactics. Kudos to them you know? What about you? Which did you want to win?"[/b][/color] [hr] [center][@Leslie Hall] [b][h2][color=ed1c24]S[/color][color=f7941d]a[/color][color=fff200]y[/color][color=39b54a]a[/color][color=0072bc]t[/color][color=662d91]a[/color][color=ed145b]c[/color][color=ed1c24]h[/color][color=f7941d]i[/color] [color=ed1c24]N[/color][color=f7941d]i[/color][color=fff200]j[/color][color=39b54a]i[/color][color=0072bc]k[/color][color=662d91]o[/color][/h2][/b] [sub]& The Kamikaze Guard[/sub][/center] As the Kamikaze Guard begin to get comfortable with their surroundings, Constantine's stay must unfortunately come to an end, placing her mask back on her face, saluting the Rainbow Majesty in a polite and respectful manner. "[color=LemonChiffon][i]I really must be going Lady Nijiko. Captain Idwal has set me many a task for today, and I'm afraid I'm already behind schedule. I believe my Captain said she was planning to speak with you later at the Ball.[/i][/color]" Saya would sigh, as if she was slightly disappointed she had to leave, but not in a negative displeased way towards her. She swirls her glass as she look at the Rune Knight. [b]"A shame you have to leave so soon darling,"[/b] Sayatachi responds while taking a sip, [b]"But alas, I will not keep you waiting for any longer. And I'll be sure to talk to Miss Rosa then. Farewell."[/b] As soon as Constantine left the quarters, the announcement came over the royals that the Games were to be canceled due to untold business. Saya's left eyebrow pricked up curiously at the urgent call, followed by comments by the guards. [b][color=0072bc]"Hmph."[/color][/b] the tall individual grunts as he sips a hard liquor from the cooler, [b][color=0072bc]"How utterly disappointing."[/color][/b] [b][color=39b54a]"Ey, no fair!"[/color][/b] the small woman whines as she flops on the couch, [b][color=39b54a]"I want to see some fighting!"[/color][/b] Only the white figure said nothing at all, as he looks out the window to see a sea of unsatisfied customers booing with disappointment. Sayatachi turns her head back to the guards, giving them a hand gesture for them to calm down. Only a few seconds later did she speak to them. [b]"Keep serene,"[/b] she responds firmly as she continues looking out the window, [b]"The games may be canceled, but the day has only just begun. I suggest you all be on your best behavior."[/b] [b][color=silver]"What do you recommend we do at this moment?"[/color][/b] the white man asks curiously. It was then when Saya turns around to face them all. [b]"You may all relax here for the time being,"[/b] she replies, responding to his question. She then looks at the rest, [b]"As for the Ball, you will come with me. For what I suggest you all do, is to buy yourselves formal suits and garments. Make yourselves look presentable for the party..."[/b] She then reveals what is worth 6,000 scales, presenting them on the desk in three neat piles, 2,000 scales each. [b]"Each of you will get 2,000 scales to buy your suits and whatever else you need."[/b] the majesty announces to them, [b]"Meet me at the front of the ball house 10 minutes before it starts. Understand?"[/b] Her response is a unified salute and [i][b]"Yes Mam."[/b][/i] coming from them all. [b]"Good. Rest up here for 15 minutes and get out there. Dismissed."[/b] And with that, the Guard members went back to their activities. Saya watches them for a hot second, sipping on her wine, until moving into her room. She originally planned for the Kamikaze Squad to be revealed later on tonight, only for them to make a hot pitstop here in the quarters and move out, but with Constantine's rather "pre-mature" arrival and the fact she mentioned Rosa having a Guard of her own, she might as well confirm it. Looks like Constantine's going to spoil it to Rosalina, not like it had any significant meaning or anything, other than to have a fitting "surprise".
