Skylord Nexus

@Lektra Bolt @Gabriel @Arid_Blitz @Denim&Venom @Buck Testa As Kos-Mos pressed the button, a beam of red light shot up from it as the raised platform and button sank into the floor, leaving the beam of light shooting upwards. The room then became dark as the image of the Overseer appeared, now highlighted an ominous shade of red created from the button, the giant holographic head gazed down on all of them like ants and began talking in his unemotional voice "Congratulations on passing the final test. I am also informed to congratulate you on your 'unorthodox' way of completing the two tests and I would like to thank you for the useful data you have provided, however survivors or these experiments are not required, please feel free to die at your earliest convenience." at that the overseer disappeared, the only light in the room not coming from the beam of red. After a moment four large tubes would extend into the room and begin to fill the room with a dark green gas, this gas quickly filled the entirety of the room like water would a cup. This would quickly become evident to be neurotoxin, that upon inhalation swiftly killed all living things in the room.

@Lektra Bolt @Denim&Venom @Arid_Blitz @Gabriel @Buck Testa As Star creature-fied the turrets the ever so faint sound of two people shouting in unison could be heard, both going "Dear God!". A few seconds later an archway melted out of the wall, showing the way into another room. The room it's self was circular with a raised platform in the middle, a single, large button on top of it from it. At the point when everyone entered the room, the image of the Overseer would once again appear, this time however not leaving the room in darkness "It has been decided that due to the show of ability from the one of you, the next forty-eight tests would be too easy and would not yield any useful data, due to this I have been instructed to move you onto the final test. In this test your trust in one another will be tested as it involved all of you. As you can see, in this room there is a button. In order to complete the test track you must hit the button, however a number of you cannot hit the button, if any of these individuals, or "kills" touch the button you will all die, except for the "kills" who pressed the button. As you can therefore surmise, you need someone who is not one of these individuals, if these "safes" press the button you all live. The only other way you can all live is if the number of "safes" pressing the button outnumbers the number of "kills" pressing the button. Now the "kills" know who they are and have been offered items of interest to them if they kill the rest of you so they may not be inclined to say whether or not they are a "kill". You have no time limit for this exercise, you may begin." With that the image faded away, and the arch everyone entered through would seal, leaving them along with the button.

@Lektra Bolt @Arid_Blitz @Gabriel @Buck Testa @Denim&Venom The Overseer just stared at Star and the portal she opened, not seeming to care, though to be fair he didn't really seem like the most expressive guy when it came to emotions, nor did it seem to care when Star sassed it, seemingly ignoring her or at least not retorting to her. The great metal face did however change focus to Starfire as she questioned him " As I have stated previously, I am the Overseer. My primary directive is to test and record the results of beings who have been bought to this place and to transfer the data to my storage system at which point it is removed. You are currently in the Elysium scientific research facility level two-hundred and forty-five, are current location is Dimension 213453-098473 Alpha, approximately five-thousand sectors from imperial jurisdiction." The face then finally turned to the girl wo was throwing references "Please do note that I did not once describe myself as an almighty scientist, or supreme AI. Although I am reminded to tell you all that to any participants who survive: There will be cake, tasty cake." The Overseer then went back to looking at no one in particular "I shall now assume that all relevant questions have been asked, due to this fact the test shall now begin, the first test shall be a 'warm-up' to increase adrenalin levels and to gage your combat prowess. Please save anymore questions for the break in-between this test and the last, assuming any of you survive." The hologram then dispersed, once again allowing the room to give off it's seemingly natural glow. This peace however would be short lived as nine turrets came out of the walls, three on the north face which aimed at Star, Starfire, and Kos-Mos, three on the west wall which aimed at Rouen, Shion and Steven, and three on the east wall which aimed at Sabir, Crona, and Akane. These turrets all began firing purple lasers at that their respective targets at a rate of about one every second.

@Arid_Blitz @Lektra Bolt @Buck Testa @Gabriel @Denim&Venom It would be at this point when everyone in the room would notice something very strange, firstly a claw would extend out of no where and grab the grenades that Sabir had, as if hearing his fought before retracting back into the wall as if it had never been there, secondly a smaller arm with a syringe lowered down from the celling and injected Rouen with the presumable effect to wake him up, and lastly that the ambient light that seemed to just exist in the room began to change, first the light would change to a vibrant green colour and would envelope the room in it's sickly light for but I second before swirling into a swarm and forming into a face at the front of the room, leaving an eerie darkness in the rest. This face six parts and was obviously robotic because I mean lets be honest, if someone organic had a face what was in six it would be very worrying, but anyway, four of the parts seemed to make up make up the centre or it's face, creating gaps that seemed akin to facial features, a single large piece made up the chin and sides of it's head and finally an egg shaped piece of metal which seemed to glow with energy floated above all else. "Anyway, I would like to thank you for the useful data you have provided, however survivors or these experiments are not required, please feel free to die at your earliest convenience..." The image then went blank, leaving the room in pitch black for but a minute before the image came back up. "I apologies for the perhaps unnerving display just there, it would seem I had neglected to rearrange my flash cards since the last time I have carried out these experiments. This fact however is besides the point and it is advised that you not focus on the information you have had revealed to you as it may have both a mental and physical effect on your performance." The mechanical face then took a few minutes to survey the room seeming to focus on certain individuals such as Sabir, Kos-Mos ,and Ragnarok before continuing "You may address me as you see fit, though Overseer is preferred, you have been brought here from your respective dimensions in order to preform some experiments, it is advised that if any of you do have the ability to switch dimensions that you do not as you will be bought back and a price will be payed. I will now take any questions you may have before the tests begin." The overseer then hovered there, it's emotionless face staring at those beneath it.

The Multiverse. Realm upon realm of endless possibilities; worlds where nature grows, untouched by the brutal hand of man, where as others are ravaged by machines and chocked in smog. From worlds with the smallest of differences too vastly different fundamental rules and people. All living unaware for the most part, except a certain few, who either through great genius or "divine" intervention have grown to claim these worlds as part of greater empires though most have no idea of this and carry on with their normal day to day lives, unaware of the- *Kicks wall down* Ok listen up! This lovely block of text is all nice and stuff, but it's way to philosophical. Hi, I'm your narrator and while this is nice filler on my part I think we want to get down to the nitty gritty of this. Firstly for most of you this whole multiverse thing will probably be a surprise to most of you. Secondly this is gonna get wild, and wacky, it will also be an adventure in the multiverse, unfortunately we still have no better name so we're gonna have to roll with that. But most of all I'm sure your all wondering where you fit into this, yes? Allow me to set the scene: For all of our heroes... villains... people yes, that works well. For all of you people, the last thing you remember was a normal day, you did your normal things, in you normal universe. You now wake up on a metal floor, with metal walls, and a metal roof, a metal room some might say. As you regain consciousness you see people around you, some look how you would describe as normal, others...not so. Like that person to you left, super strange, am I right? This room as no door, or lights and yet is light, seeming to slightly glow from all angles... Welp, looks like you're all stuck in there for now, guess you should start making friends, or resort to cannibalism, that's also an option. Anyway, this is the exciting way your adventure begins, how invigorating! OOC:

@Arid_Blitz @Dakcka @dragon4111 @reader8363 Myou just hissed and Gave Liz a death stare as Liz scratched behind his head. Cecelia yet out a cute little yawn and nodded at Liz and started to head up to the bedrooms. A few minutes later Vanderbilt came back in and rushed over to Antonio and begrudgingly motioned for Liz to also join them. Gale had actually melted into the kiss, putting a hand on Draco's chest before he bolted. Gale just stood in that position for a couple of minutes before realisation washed over her causing her to blush heavily and scream at the top of her lungs "Err! I don't believe you, you perverted bastard! When I get my hands on you i'll do a whole lot more than knee you in the balls!" This threat echoed throughout most of the arena allowing most people to hear. Lucius meanwhile chuckled at the sound "Oh it seems Gale found Draco then, good." The dark mage then join the slowly growing crowd of people around Canteen and the guardsman "Oh, he's being arrested? Wonderful, I vote you drag him off and for him to never see the light of day again! In fact i'll pay you to rough him up a bit."

@Arid_Blitz @Dakcka @dragon4111 When Liz changed her mind Cecelia gripped her legs in a tight hug almost restricting her movements. When Antonio left to go to bed Cecelia let go of Liz and waved "Night, night Mr Antonio! You say by too Myou." Cecelia then held up an unamused Myou who just gave Antonio a death stare. Lucius put his hand over his mouth and lightly chucked as Perpe knocked herself out, before using his magic to levitate her onto the bed. Alexander smiled at his master "You know sir, I think it's been quite the while since you last sincerely laughed, it's healthy for you to move on." Lucius looked at Alexander and smiled "Well it's hard not too really, Perpe reminds me a lot of her. Given, Perpe's definitely a bit more feisty, plus she seems to have a good effect on most of the others... except Jack and Lance but not much really does do through their thick skulls." Lucius then began walking out of the room, stopping in the doorway "Hey, if you have the time can you perhaps bring some food for Perpe for when she wakes up? and also just check on her." Alexander just smiled "I was going to anyway sir." Gale just stared at Draco "Yeah I know they are, I was just trying to use alliteration to make it sound better, I wasn't actually saying you were a furry." Gale then began to stand up, ignoring Rouen's hand. After she got up she turned on her heel and began walking away "Yeah I guys I'm done here. Though you will probably wish you just told me, Lucius can be a very desperate and ruthless man when he's after something so I'd advise you just tell him what he wants to know. Oh and lightning blast!" Gale then sent a beam of electricity flying towards Draco "That's for dissing the clothes." The lightning mage then walked off, not waiting to see if her attack hit or not.

@Arid_Blitz @Dakcka @dragon4111 Cecelia nuzzled into Liz's head pat in a very cat like fashion, even making a cute little noise to boot "Well I don't mind! I think you look cool and pretty." Cecelia's face then dropped and began to fill with tears when Liz said she was going to sneak out "P...p...please don't leave me! I don't wanna be on my own again." Seeing Antonio walk back in the Inn Keeper spoke up "Listen I really suggest you tell your friend to come back or you'll probably never see him again." Lucius smiled and ruffled Perpe's hair a bit "Sure thing princess, sure thing. Alexander your her temporary replacement!" Alexander was rather taken aback from this statement "Sir, need I remind you that my role is mostly for up-keep I mean I haven't properly fought in-" Before he could continue Lucius cut the poor man off "Alexander, your oath sworn purpose is to be my right hand and protect me, that is why you have duel light swords and practise in combat daily even though you think I don't notice. And think of it this way, if you lose I'll kill myself. There see? Now there's your incentive. And before you ask if I'm joking: Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." Alexander's face puffed up "You know sir, if I could I would straggle you!" "So would most people Alexander, so would most people... except I have you to stop them. And me myself obviously." Meanwhile Gale lightly blushed and looked away from Draco's face "Look ok ya furry freak, I do what Lucius tells me too, your little trick interested him so he sent me to find out when I can ok. Besides you should think yourself lucky usually when Lucius wants something he takes it by either force or cash. So now if you'd please get off of me you perverted freak I'd be much happier!" Gale then sent her knee ,charged with electricity, flying up towards Draco's crouch.

@Arid_Blitz @Dakcka @dragon4111 Cecelia was a little put off by Liz's description but still cutely nibbled at the fry, her face beginning to smile "Wow! that tastes really good, I didn't think potato could taste that nice." Cecelia then spent the next few minutes fidgeting on the spot before looking at Liz "Um... what exactly are you? Are you like Mr Vanderbilt? From somewhere really far away?" The Inn keeper mean while place two sets of mundane keys on the counter before heading back into his kitchen area "You have fifteen minutes to get your friend in here before I lock the door." Lucius moved from his position on the wall over to Perpe, and placed a hand on her head "First you didn't lose, you drew. Second, it doesn't matter if there's someone stronger than you, there will always be someone better than you at something, even I admit that. However bare one thing in mind, that power Draco used likely wasn't his own, and what you fought wasn't Draco." Lucius then sighed and took a seat next to Perpe "Besides if it's anyone's fault it's mine, I should have done deeper research into Draco and his abilities. You didn't fail today, I did." Gale meanwhile silently listened to the conversation between Draco and Rouen thinking stuff like "God these guy's are full of themselves." After listening Gale decided she had heard enough useless talk and decided to leave, at which point she caught her foot in the uniform Lucius had made and tripped making a very loud thud followed by and even louder rant "I swear to God! I am going to punch Lucius in his smug little face when I see him." completely dropping the whole stealth thing.

@Arid_Blitz @dragon4111 @Dakcka Vanderbilt hopped backwards in an attempt to release Liz's tail from his leg "I'm leaving you vith Cecelia, isn't that trust enough you dammed demon!" Vanderbilt then rushed out of the inn and went on his walk around the town." Cecelia then cocked her head, first at Vanderbilt's reaction then at the fries "Um... what are they?" The Inn Keeper just stared at Antonio blankly "Nothing. In case you forgot, I said it's dangerous for a reason. People lock up before the sun goes down and don't come out until the sun comes up." Lucius looked as the fight unfolded and flinched slightly at the horrendous sound Perpe made, though apart from that seemed unaffected. After Shadow took Perpe, Lucius began to leave ushering Alexander to come with him "Alexis, Lance stay with Flamehead here until he wakes up and stop him from doing anything stupid." Alexis gave a little mock salute and Lance a polite bow "Got it boss/As You wish m'lord." Lucius then looked to Gale "Gale. I want you to find where Draco was taken and find out what you can about that 'skill' of his. How you do it is up to you. AND before you say anything I don't care what you think of him or what he's done to you, get over it. If he works anything out just tell him straight that I've taken an 'interest' in him." Gale looked like she wanted to punch his teeth out but left the stand grumbling to herself about getting pay back until she found where Draco and Rouen were and hid behind the first available corner. Lucius and Alexander meanwhile went to the room where Shadow had taken Perpe. Lucius leaned on the wall whilst Alexander pulsed radiant healing energy into Perpe's body attempting to somewhat heal her.

@Arid_Blitz @Dakcka @dragon4111 Vanderbilt blankly stared at Liz "A rather ominous prediction, I certainly hope you don't know something ve all don't." When Antonio left him Vanderbilt groaned even louder and slid down in his seat every more letting out the smallest whisper "No. Don't leave me vith her." He then however got up and began to walk out "I'm going to go get some fresh air, if she get's hurt you'll pay... demon." Meanwhile the Inn Keeper came out and put Liz's fries on the bar before turning to Antonio "Yeah, what ya need?" Since everything had seemed Lucius stood at the edge of the stand and looked at Perpe slightly worried. What Perpe would then hear would be Lucius voice, but not out loud more in her head "Listen Perpe I'm not one to give great battle speeches, in fact I'm kinda a pessimist and you honestly look kinda screwed so i'm going to give you some advice: It's one thing to win, it's another to horrendously lose for a foolish cause. What i'm trying to say is, if you think you can win go all out, at the same time if you think your going to lose... if that's the case then I order you concede, because if you unwillingly lose this whatever Draco has become will likely break every bone in your body and no win is worth that."

@Arid_Blitz @Dakcka @dragon4111 Vanderbilt proceeded to slide down his chair and groaned "Well it vould seem like the majority has voted for it so there vould be little use in contesting it. Though listen well, i'll be keeping a close eye on you so even one move out of place and i'll pounce." Cecelia just let out a little yay and hugged Liz's leg completely oblivious to Vanderbilt's animosity towards her "We're going to the bestest of friends! Look this is Myou." Cecelia the held up the wooden cat to Liz with a cute look in her eyes. Lucius looked down at Fenrir "Well technically I dabble more in the private sector so a couldn't care less puppy!" Although seeming as rude as usual there was an underlying curiosity sparked by Fenrir, it was obviously not Draco and possession or sorts on such a level suddenly made the dark mage much more interested in the blood rager. However Lucius quickly became more distracted by Canteen flying past him he proceeded to ignore the psycho and turned to hold out a hand to Brume offering to help him up "Apologies about this, I assure you that not everyone in my guild is like this. Only him really. Oh and don't worry about him being dead, he'll come back in a few minutes... unfortunately."

@Arid_Blitz @dragon4111 @Dakcka Vanderbilt grumbled a bit as the food he had been eating went onto his face and proceeded to wipe it off "As Antonio has said ve are in no need of assistance, ve are simply traveling to the Grand Magic Games and any issues that do come up are very easily solved by the two of us. Now if you would be so kind as to le-" Vanderbilt was however suddenly cut off by Cecelia who had somehow moved next to Liz is the space of a second "Please~ Mr Vanderbilt she has horns and stuff and she is sooooo cool, and nice, and pretty Oh please, Oh please, Oh please?!" Vanderbilt just slid down in his chair groaning "Antonio please convince Cecelia otherwise, I don't think it's vise to have a half dem... a stranger accompanying us." Jack grunted at the now two people in front of him "Do you think having another little friend will help you? Time to turn you both into ash. Phoenix Retribution!" A great Red phoenix then manifested and flew at the two Red Rock members with the intent to kill." Lucius mean while had been watching from the Red Rock stands, the wine glass in his hand slowly gaining more and more cracks until it shattered sending glass flying "If the rest of you will excuse me, I have a job that needs attending." With that Lucius turned into dark energy and shot across the stadium and manifested in front of Brume and Canteen, and right in the path of the phoenix "Uh How droll. Draconic Dispel." And with a pulse of dark magic, the Phoenix dissipated and small arcs of dark energy leapt up Lucius' arm "I think you need to cool off, unbind." Lucius' cane then turned into his rapier and stabbed Jack right through the heart, sending him to the ground, apparently dead.

Bluey Von Purplestein the seventy second and a half

@Arid_Blitz @dragon4111 @Dakcka Vanderbilt nodded "Possibly, I don't think Jack even knows vhat kind of magic he uses, all he care about is that it's strong and it can hurt people." Vanderbilt then looked at the screen and chuckled a bit when Antonio mentioned magic from other lands "Oh yar, magic from other lands really is something else, it takes me back to my childhood back in my home, ve had all sorts of strange and unique magic there." Vanderbilt seemed to be very fond of his home though he did quickly change the subject "Anyvay, enough of an old mans prattling, I can also give you some specs on the Polaris Flare guild hall if you vish." The Inn Keeper mean while nodded at the girl "Of course, can I get you anything to drink with that, if I can just call." the grizzled man then walked into a kitchen to make the fries, leaving the bar inhabitants alone. Lucius chuckled darkly and the mention of him needing his father's permission "You want to know an interesting fact Elis, my tittle in currently LORD Lucius Darkflare, that means the bastard of a father is dead, and I should know i'm the one that killed him." As for the fight, though Lucius hadn't said a word about it thus far those paying attention would notice that he had put his glass down and had begun drinking directly from the bottle. Everyone in the Polaris Flare stand was rather shocked when this crazy person ran into there stand and started speaking gibberish and proceeded the take jack hostage, not the best idea. Jack laughed angrily "You know mate I don't know who you are, or where you came from but I can promise you that by the end of this your going to have a chard hole where your heart used to be. Fire Mantle!" Jack's body then burst into flames which covered his body as he used the propulsion from being pushed to fly forward and spin in mid air so he landed facing Canteen "Armageddon blast" a cylinder of red violent energy then erupted from Jack hand flying directly for Canteen's chest.

@Arid_Blitz @Dakcka Vanderbilt nodded at his companion "Indeed, she is defiantly one of the main danger's vhen facing Polaris Flare. The only normal guild member more dangerous than her vould be... Jack Felfire. In some vay's I guess he's your opposite, your an ice devil slayer, no? Vell he uses hell fire and he hits hard vith it, he specialises in hitting hard and dealing heavy amounts of damage to his opponent in a single hit, and this power is immense, out of all of them he is the only one who can go up against Lucius and stand a chance of vinning, though to my knowledge he never has." The Inn keeper then came out with there food and placed in on their table, Cecelia sat happily eating, as did Myou ,which was peculiar seeing as he was made of wood and shouldn't need to eat. when the new person entered the Inn the Inn Keeper chuckled "Another traveller? Today must be my lucky day, what can I do for ye lass?" Lucius scoffed at Brume "It's funny though how when we first met yo guy's seemed to be the best of friends, but you seem to have chucked that to the side pretty quickly haven't you?" The dark mage then looked at Elis his expression not changing "You know I do prefer not to maim people who don't deserve it, but I would advice you be quiet... unless you want to lose your other arm." As Leege asked him if he liked Perpe Lucius quickly lost his composure a small blush appearing on his face "I most certainly do not! and even if I did I assure you that it would be entirely platonic!" This however did seem to be enough to also calm Lucius down, after a deep breath Lucius spoke, his voice sounding less angered and more logical "I... apologies for my little out burst." Lucius then proceeded to slump down into a seat in there stand and poured two glasses of wine giving one to Brume "Trust me it helps... also don't ask where I got this stuff from, honestly even I don't know at this point." Lucius then held his glass up giving a toast "To a miracle then."

souls of the innocents

@Arid_Blitz @dragon4111 @Dakcka @reader8363 Vanderbilt nodded to Antonio "Yes it is indeed a peculiar effect, though she is a nice enough girl. Next vould be Gale, she either doesn't have a last name or doesn't let anyone know it. She is an expert in lightning magic and martial arts, often infusing parts of her body with lightning in order to hit much harder. Her main skill however comes from her being able to use ranged and attacks giving her a very flexible fighting style." Lucius looked down at the battle slightly shaken by Draco's proposed deal and the prospect of losing Perpe. He never liked changed and had always tried to keep things the same for as long as possible. Lucius eventually stood up and began making his way out of the stand stating to his guild he'd be back in a while. What the non-competing members of Red Rock would find is a never mad looking Lucius at the entrance to there stand "Hey Brume, I think we need to have a little chat, don't you?! You know about Draco trying to steal Perpe from my guild and forcing her to join you guys." from the sound of Lucius' voice he had become incredibly mad since leaving his stand and to everyone in the stand he would also likely seem slightly unstable.

An alternative way to way to have a good villain is to start with them being the winner, base your story or whatever in a world where the villain has succeeded with his terrible plan, it's a good way to make him omnipotent by having him being not incredibly powerful but by having what he controls give him power, it then creates good story points of your protagonist having to go through all these things to reach the villain.

@Arid_Blitz @Dakcka @reader8363 Vanderbilt nodded his head at Antonio "Ok then, vell next is Alexis Farstone: I rather timid girl who enjoys fantasizing about ships, I alvays found it rather strange she never struck me as the sea fairing type. She isn't inherently dangerous as almost all her magic involves buffing her allies abilities, she does however have split personality. The personality is almost the exact opposite of Alexis, stoic and angry, It does however have an interesting effect of Alexis' magic, causing it to instead debuff people." Cecelia meanwhile nodded and cutely smiled at Antonio "Yeah there really cool so far, but some of the people there seem... mean." After sensing his sword missed and seeing that he lost a point Lance walked out of the ally to confront Shadow, he proceeded to dismiss his spectral sword and requiped to a pole much the same as Shadows "Well I do prefer a far fight, I apologise for using such a dirty tactic as a homing sword on you." Lance then swung the pole and ran at Shadow, however that was when the time ran out. Lance plainly smiled and laughed a bit "Oh well, I hope Lucius got what he needed." He ten turned to Shadow "It's a shame the time ran out, I would have liked to see where this was going." As Perpe shook him Lucius stood there stoic but then grabbed her by the shoulders when she asked him why he chose Lance "Because I trust in his skills, perhaps you need to stop caring so much about winning after the first round and try focusing on more important problems than your pride." As Perpe walked out Alexander followed her and eventually stopping her "You know lady Perpe, The Darkflare family have had many great military leaders in their long history, as such most Darkflares are tactically inclined, Lord Lucius especially so I'd imaging that losing this first event is all part of his master plan, so you shouldn't worry so much." Alexander gave Perpe a warm motherly smile and patted her on the head "Now come on, you have a match up next I believe."

@Arid_Blitz @dragon4111 @reader8363 @Dakcka Vanderbilt looked and Antonio and shifted his spectacles a little further up his noes "Lance Steelstorm: A primarily melee fighter who can 'requip' different veapons and armour vhich boost different attributes. He's been a member of Polaris Flare for around three years now, making him one of the newest members. He has no officially known past affiliations, however it is believed he used to be part of a secretive order of Templars. As you can tell from his behaviour as vell is the fact that he is very... medieval prince like vith his actions. Unfortunately due to the recent establishment of Red Rock I don't know anything about them off the top of my head. Who else would you like information on?" Lance jumped back a bit and quickly yelled "Requip!" as he changed into a larger suit of armour with a massive shield which he used to deflect the bolt in the opposite direction. Once he had realised that 1. he was trapped, and 2. the fake hims' didn't change appearance with him Lance went back to his normal self and sighed as he realised that there was probably someone who he needed to take out before he could continue "I hate having to use such dirty tactics, however the situation calls for it. Spiritual blade." A turquoise magic circle the appeared in front of him and out of it came a large ghostly sword which hovered there in place "Ok sword, strike any living person in the boxed in area and do your best not to hit and illusions." The sword the went up into the air and darted around the area before launching itself at Shadow. Despite being a man who never really took Draco seriously and always had a cocky aura about him, Lucius gained a rather serious and slightly sad look on his face "Draco I would appreciate it if you didn't insult my lineage like that, whether you believe it or not I do have a strong sense of family, and to say something like that to me, is to insult them so just do yourself a favour and just stop whilst your ahead." After taking a minute to regain his composure Lucius smirked and firmly shook Draco's hand "Fair enough, and if you guys betray my trust then i'll cast you into a darkness so terrifying that within second you will beg for the warm embrace of Hell."

@Arid_Blitz @Dakcka @dragon4111 Vanderbilt gave Antonio a quick glance as if to say "You're right not to bad mouth him" The Inn keeper then came along and took the orders "Ok i'll get that taken care of now." The whole time however he kept shooting Antonio half sad, half angry looks before heading off to the kitchen to prepare the food. All Vanderbilt could do was laugh at what Antonio said "Vell i'm pretty sure he vas talking about you Antonio, I think Lady Cecelia looks more like you than me." Cecelia just hugged Antonio "Don't be silly Mister Vanderbilt! Mister Antonio's more like an uncle." After a minute or so Lance could tell he was being followed, it was most likely from his years of training however he didn't choose to immediately strike as he was curious as to why he hadn't been attacked yet. Lance watched what occurred with the other guild members and quickly moved down an alleyway in a bid to avoid them. The alleyway had a dead end at which Lance waited for Lilina to turn the corner, at which point he stated, in his very eccentric and medieval way "Well hello there my beautiful lady! To what may I owe the pleasure of being stalked by such radiant company without being stabbed in the back?" Lucius went into deep thought over the information Merri had given him "Hmm well from what it seems, it's safe to say that they're here for personal problems... and I thought I had daddy issues. It will defiantly be dangerous for any guild involved." Lucius then cocked his head with a curious smile on his face at Merri's proposal "Rather interesting proposition indeed, and it is true that my guild isn't... conventional. Why the hell not, lets give it a try, I think in this tournament both our guilds are underdogs anyway so any help is good." Lucius then began to walk away, only stopping for a second to give Merri a polite bow and to toss her a rather hefty pouch "I appreciate the help Merri, so there's ten-thousand jewel for your trouble. Oh and if you could tell Brume i'd like to chat about this proposal more in person when he get's a second. And one last thing, be carful, if my information is correct you guys are staying at the same place to the Fairy Tail guild are you not? you could be possible targets. Cioa." As Lucius left he walked away in a fashion where it would seem like he hadn't seen Draco, but then stopped "You know Draco: I may not be able to use the magic, but I still have the body of a dragon slayer so I can smell your stench a mile off." Lucius then left and returned to his teams seating area.

do you have a map? Because I just got lost in your eyes Oh god what am I doing XD

I believe that about sums it up.
