open The Dark Tournament III

[Scrambled_Egghead 16]

 

Kiwi caught up to Crimson after his fight before he could ho to the hotel. She had a thick saddlebag on her back.

 

"I see you managed to win a fight for once," she said jokingly while rubbing her nose. "I think that's really rippa'. What do ya say we do a little to celebrate? You look like someone who could appreciate a fine brew."

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest nodded slightly and sighed. "I didn't see much of anything. There weren't any lights on in the guy's office. From what I could conceive through the conversation though is that someone is looking to rebuild their body." He said, as he sat on a table.

@,

Skuldaf only spoke after he was out of sight.

 

"I realized my folly too late into this mad house of killers and demons. I did not want anymore blood to stain my hooves, so I let you win. It's possible you would have won regardless, but it was a small chance. I shall take my leave of the tournament" Skuldaf said, thinking he could simply escape

@,

 

"That'll be just fine. I don't mind hard lemon aid once and a while." He said with the same smile. "And you are welcome. I try to help others as much as I can.  I couldn't just leave you there, hurt It wouldn't have been the wright thing to do. Plus a stallion should never harm a lady, never." He said with a firmly. "But I digress, I am glad to see you're feeling better." He smiled again.

"Knowing this tournament shenanigans of evil nature are likely to occur..." she said as they arrived in the room arranged for her. She started treating their wounds with potions and ointments for burns. "The least you could do is stay another day here to recover. I wish to ask of you though that you persist through the end... It is likely that we might need your... "Unpredictable-ness". If anything i would like to ask your aid... There is a reason i want to win this tournament. You would be my lifesaver if you could listen to me."

[Hive King 2,001]

@,

Skuldaf paused, not moving an inch.

"What is your proposal?" he asked, turning around with a sigh and sitting down. He looked at the potion with a bit of curiosity as it patched him up. What an interesting concoction. He'd have to learn how to make it some time

"I can help you get to places where i can't. I need to know what the organisers of the tournament are cooking up. It would also really help if you knew anything about my opponents but that's secondary for now..." she winced as her own wounds started closing... She'd have to take a good bath and sleep. Plus food... Can't forget that. "This tournament is not just some random slaughterhouse. If it was just that i wouldn't mind... The previous tournaments suggest there is a likelyhood of something equally big in scope happening too. I plan on sabotaging it. I don't think we can eliminate the tournament... The concept is too strong to be eradicated easily. However there's still a chance it can remain at a level of 'civil'. For that reason i need to get stronger, strong enough to attract the attention of the organisers. While i do you could sneak and learn of their plans... Here's where i can help you. I can provide the means to be stealthy. You may also share with me the prize... Or take it all by yourself. I frankly don't care about it much. So what say you... Are you in?"

Tempest nodded slightly and sighed. "I didn't see much of anything. There weren't any lights on in the guy's office. From what I could conceive through the conversation though is that someone is looking to rebuild their body." He said, as he sat on a table.

"A good bit of sense that makes, rebuilding your own body. The hell's someone supposed to do that?"

Juri started to sound a little less confident, a little more rushed. "I'll be right back with those." She said. She had closed her notepad and acted like she was still focused on Trench, but she was actually staring off into the back of the VIP lounge. Grant had entered the room alone, causing several of the VIP guests to cheer for him as if he had just done something important. "That's odd, I've never seen him here," She mumbled. Her attention shifted back to Trench and she nodded to him before leaving to get the drinks.

@,

Skuldaf's eyes darkened, remembering days past where he undertook such missions with deadly precision. 

"Absolutely not. I shall not be made into a black ops toy for you" Skuldaf growled out, showing emotion for the first time since he'd gotten to the tournament

[dusk shade 205]

Godric had passed him room without even an inward glance. He choose rather to head to the roof. He took off away from from the hotel as well as the arena, sword gleaming through its sheath as he flew. After a mind clearing flight, he veered backto the arena gate.

Selune sighed "You are no tool... I would never dream of using you... Just know that there is something brewing out there that's going to make life worse for everyone. That exact thing is going to be far worse than the mindless killers you saw participating." Selune proceeded to open her saddlebags preparing some food "Regardless of what you think about me, or your doubt about my good intentions, there is something out there happening even as we speak. That thing is perhaps bigger than the two of us... One way or the other in this tournament we will have to be called to choose a side, to contribute to what we believe. Regardless of your will to help or not i wish to make you aware of this... Others hardly even get a glimse of the situation. It's a shame really..."

@,

"I had sworn to never fight again. I broke it, thinking that it was worth it. And now karma repays me" Skuldaf muttered, laying down and preparing to sleep. "...Find me evidence that there really is something twisted going on, and I will consider helping you" he finally grunted out

@@dusk shade, 

 

Godric could undoubtably hear it as it approached, The hulking mechanized security machine, Gatasubal. It had been patrolling the outside of the arena when it spotted Godric, and now it was coming to investigate. The red light on it's head glowed like a red floodlight trained on Godric.

 

"Retrieving subject data..." It narrated, "Species: Griffon. Irrelevant. Name: Prince Godric. Irrelevant. Position: Arena combatant: Preliminaries... Updating... Position: Arena combatant: Round two." The red light dialed down to a less bright intensity. "Data retrieval complete. Authorization is not accepted."

"Everyone fights... Sometimes they change the way they fight. They fight with words, they fight with actions... Fighting with magic or weapons is only one way of doing that. Regardless i suspect you had bad experience with fighting. Which is why i wanted to ask... Why did you enter the tournament... What were you seeking?"

[Hive King 2,001]

@,

"I wanted to help others. Make a sanctuary for them. I told myself it was worth a few fights. I regret that decision" Skuldaf replied, choosing his words delicately as if he was trying to not reveal a secret. "I don't fight, I stay away from ponies" Skuldaf added

"Don't regret anything... That's the wrong way of living. Your goal however is a noble one... In a way i could say i share it. There might still be a chance for you. Meanwhile would you lile something to eat? Maybe we could share a story over dinner? Say how we each came to be here?"

[Hive King 2,001]

@,

"I am not interested" Skuldaf replied flatly, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep. It took him a few minutes to sleep, but he heard some could fall asleep in a flash, so perhaps she'd stop pestering him. Skuldaf was a tolerant pony, but he did not like this mare

"Everyone so serious and grim this tournament. Bah!" she ate a bit and left some just in case Skuldaf decided to eat. ((Ooc:normally by the announcer we should all know each other's names)) She proceeded to lock and secure the exits with warding spells. One could never be too sure. A crow flew in before she closed. She nuzzled it once it landed on her hoof. "Sleep well Akane... We have a long day tomorrow."

Godric scoffed at the machine as his talons instinctivly went for his blade but stopped before drawing it. "Out of my way, rustbucket...I do not need cllearance from a tinker toy. I will go where I please and do as I please....if I want to stabd at this bloody gate, I will", he said snidely.

"You are trying to insult me with fallacies. You do this despite knowing that I will not react because you wish to strengthen your persona," Gatasubal said, showing off his understanding of pony and Griffon behavior that he had learned since the last tournament. "However, there is no one around to witness you. Therefore this is a defensive response." After saying this, Gatasubal switched subjects. "Why are you here? If you wish to sabotage your next match, I suggest you to your opponent while he sleeps."

Crimson scoffed. "There's not much point in celebrating such an anticlimactic match...but ah what the hell, I'm up for a few dozen or so drinks. Actually, I used to be an alchoholic. But I toned down my drinking after got married. And I damn well near stopped altogether after my kids were born. But I still drink now and again." He said, shrugging.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest shrugged slightly and sighed. "I don't know exactly. We just have to be careful when it comes to this tournament." The bat pony sighed as a sense of tiredness overcame his senses. "I'll see you tommorow. I need to get some sleep." With that, Tempest trotted out of the room and towards the hotel. When he entered his room, he ate, took a shower, and simply went to sleep.

Kiwi laughed uncontrollably even though Crimson hadn't said anything funny. She wiped a tear from her eye. "A couple drinks he says!" She repeated, "Mate, I'd be surprised if you could handle a sip! I've got something special for you, but you'd have to follow me to my hotel room. I'll show you a drink you've never had before."

[Concerto Dusk 240]

Walking around outside the arena, Mirror Quake studies the ring. Learning it's every detail so that he may use it against his next opponent. "That's the burst of being quiet, nopony notices you, even as bug as I am I can sneak around here. And this arena, it will be easily molded to my whims tomorrow." He says, Walking out towards where the griffin and robot were talking. "What a fool, even my hammer wouldnt punch through that armor easily."

@,

 

Trench watched Juri as she worked and as he waited for his drink. He was think that maybe he shouldn't bother her at work. He noticed her not really listening to what he was saying. When you don't talk much like Trench,  you learn to read others rather well. He looks off to the side and waited for his dink, going back to being quiet.
