open Bangcolt Arena! (Fighting/Sol) (RP)

[J.R. 3,183]

"Keep the bits I can always get more." Skitz looked around and saw a light coming from another door. "Oh that was that tonight?!?!" There was another tournament going on. "You're in for a treat tonight. The cooking contest is today. In this contest the audience is the judge and the chefs cook food and throw it into the audience. The winner is the one who gets the loudest cheers from the audience."

Skitz looks at his notepad. "Wow Icy there is a lot going on tonight."

Blizzard's eyes widened, "That sounds awesome! And a little bit delicious and gross at the same time, but hey, I'm not complaining. Let's go Skitzers!" Blizzard walked up to the door and almost knocked, but he asked Skitz, "Do you gotta do a password thing again, or can we just barge in?"

[Vae Victis 742]

Tyra nodded, listening intently to Lorec's tale of glory amongst his people. She was talking with a champion of his homeland! How exciting!

 

"Amazing!" She grinned widely, and quickly grew a determined smirk, "These Golden Horn Olympics sound fun! I would love to compete myself!"

Lorec's grin of reminiscence was now replaced by a stoic look, almost as if what Tyra said had plunged a metaphorical dagger into his chest.

 

" The Golden Horn Olympics are.... No longer taking place. The last tournament was years ago, along with our last mission...."

 

Lorec kept walking as he spoke that last sentence. It seemed almost forced out. Pained. When he realized what he had said, he had nearly stopped, along with his face being contorted to a visage of self-surprise when he spoke that sentence. Quickly, he tried to recover, while opening the door for Tyra, as they had arrived at the entrance to the tavern.

 

" But that doesn't matter anymore. Come. Its time to drink."

Skitz looked at IB and smiled. "Oh c'mon Icy im not that shady." He smashed the door to pieces. The hype pony yelled "AAANNND THE MAD CHEF IS IN THE ROOOOOM!!!" The crowd cheered as skitz trotted into the room with IB "Keep your mouth open and your eye closed." He grabbed IB "I can't stress that second one enough. You will lose an eye or something."

Blizzard was kinda weirded out by that last one, "Uh...huh...so, ahem, when does the contest start? What kinda food they got here? Have you been to a place like this before Skitz?" Blizzard was once again, rattling off questions out of excitement rather than confusion.

Skitz cleared his throat. "Immediately, Waffles, and I frequent these tournaments." He got up on the stage and set up a hot plate. "Here's a sample!" He put on a bandana and made waffles and threw them into the audience with speed that could only be described as a blur. "And this one is for you Icy." He threw a giant waffle at IB. The crowd cheered and Skitz threw more and more waffles into the audience.

Blizzard was surprised, "Huh? Oof!" He landed under the waffle an bit into it, "Mmm. Good one Skitz, ever considered becoming a chef? These are awesome!" Blizzard thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, holy crap we're onstage?! Awesome! But where's the syrup? "

Skitz gave IB a knife "Cut that rope Icy and you'll get some syrup for the crowd." Focusing greatly in not cutting off one of his hooves with the spatula. "Aaaannnnnnd now." A large buzzing noise was heard and the crowd applauded and cheered so loud it shook the floor. "I think I won."

Blizzard looed over too see a rope of some sort, "I think you did too. You pretty much caused an earthquake in here. Let's see the rope aha! Hm. This one? Ok..." Blizzard made an ice dagger, and cut the rope that Skitz had identified, but nothing happened, "Nothing happened Skitz, I don't get it."

a cloaked pony walked up to the stage, and faced the crowd. he had a most peculiar mask, and no inch of his coat was showing. 

 

"alright, lets get this party started!!" he said, as he began cooking at an abnormal rate, everything flipping around him. (think those sushi chefs that cook in front of you) he started serving it to the crowd, each one individually, and accurately. "hereyagohereyagohereyago..."

 

the ponies started eating the bite-sized sushi, and their eyes widened. they started cheering as loudly as they did for skitz.

"Who might this be?" Skitz looked confused. "Eh might as well." Skitz got back on the stage and put his bandana back on. He started cooking faster than he did before "BAMBOOMBINGBINGBOINGTHEREHEREYOUGETONETOO!!!" He ran out of batter. "Aww dang." He looked closer at this strange cook. "I like you for some reason. You wanna come with me and Icy to the next place?"

[J.R. 3,183]

@, 

Blizzard was astonished, "Woah woah waoh wait a minute cloak guy. Who are you--- holy sweet dear Celestia on a stack of Rarity magazines.....this guy can can cook....Skitz...what do you have to say about him? I personally think he's pretty cool don't you? Wanna join us?"

when skitz started cooking, hunter looked at them both with a blank expression. he couldn't give any other kind of expression, because of the mask.

 

but the extraordinary thing about him is that when he turned to look at skitz and ice, he didnt stop cooking. he was still making the sushi, without using his sight.

 

after all of the crowd had been served, hunter stopped. "sure!" he said, with a voice that was similar to caliber's.

"All right let's go then." Skitz looked at his notepad "So there is a Rave across town, a light show that's closer than the rave and a good friend of mine who is a changling knows of an underground bunny racing circuit. If you guys are feeling really adventurous we can go into everfree forest and just walk. What do you guys want to do?"

Blizzard thought hard for a moment, "Hmm... I do wanna have fun guys, but I'm fighting Lektra tomorrow, so let's go see that light show. But I eventually wanna go to my room and get some rest. Come on guys let's go, you with me? And by the way masked dude, you sound like Caliber, who are you?"

[P-Jay 1,987]

hunter looked at him. "oh, you know caliber? i swear, that kid knows everyone...anyways, im hunter. 4th master. he may-or-may-not have mentioned me." he grinned behind his mask. "i was the best master, by the way."

 

he shrugged about the suggestion to the light show. "im good with anything."

[Mars Orbit 729]

Skitz raised a hoof "I dont know caliber." Skitz took off his bandana and looked at the insignia. "Oh no. I took the wrong one. Lets hurry up and get to the light show before he finds me." He started walking "so what did you teach this 'caliber' it interests me for some reason."

Blizzard could already see lights in the sky and said, "It's started come on guys let's go! Hunter is one of Caliber's four masters who taught him how to swordfight. It's an honor to meet yo Hunter, I'm Ice Blizzard, Caliber's best friend. And yes he oes know a lot of ponies, that's why he's famous!"

[P-Jay 1,987]

hunter cocked his head. "did i teach him swordplay? i do know a fair amount of swordplay...i think all's i taught him was how to see the soul life-force of anything. he can still only see living things, but i can see any aura." he smirked under his mask. "and did that kid go off and make himself famous? im gonna have to whoop his flank..."

 

he followed.

Skitz saw the lights from the show. "I think we're here." Skitz knocked on a door that wasn't attached to any hinges or wall, it was just a random door in front of the show. "Password" Skitz reached through the speaking hole and hit whoever was talking on the other side. "That'll be 50 bits." He walked through the doorway "Yeah we're here."

Blizzard walked in and looke into the sky with awe, "Wooow. The light show is amazing. This is really cool guys, and Skitz, thanks for helping me feel better. I've had fun times before and this one is a memorable one." Blizzard stood and watched the light show still with complete awe. "Wow, it'll be getting late soon. Are you guys gonna hit the hay soon or stay up forever?"

[Unicorncob 5,694]

" The Golden Horn Olympics are.... No longer taking place. The last tournament was years ago, along with our last mission...."

" But that doesn't matter anymore. Come. Its time to drink."

 

Tyra's smirk almost immediately diminished at the sight of Lorec's solemn reaction. She glanced down as she walked alongside him.

 

"My apologies," she quietly spoke up, "I meant you no disrespect."

 

She walked into the tavern with the minotaur, the familiar smell of various alcohols prickling her nostrils. A nice mug of cider would really hit the spot right now.

[Fractured 2,684]

It seemed like Sleight Mist had spent years in this place, facing one insanity after another. She had thought that she would eventually grow immune to surprises, but it seems this world never ran out of new ways to pull at her mind. What she thought was hours ago or it could have been years, a pack of Wendigo's had tossed a bushel of rotten banana peels at her, which turned into butterflies. With black eyes and golden horse teeth. She had stopped keeping track after that.

 

Floating in the nothingness, she slowly became aware of a chill spreading through her body from the head down. As it continued to her chest, Sleight Mist stopped fighting less and less. Suddenly, this world didn't seem so bad. It actually made perfect sense, if she looked at it from a different angle. A content smile began to build up on her face; it was almost like she was home.

@Unicorncob,

From behind the counter of the bar, Applejack watched the new pair walk in with a grin as she washed out a mug of cider. She had set this place long before the arena opened itself, thinking it would be a good idea to earn a few extra bits while she was out on this "mission". She didn't expect quite the turnout she had received, though. It seems ponies and all sorts of creatures had flocked here in droves and hadn't stopped coming from the moment she set it up, but it was still enough to handle well, so she did, and all without whining. If you had time to complain, then you had time to strain, Granny Smith had always put it to her. 

 

Without a second thought, and without putting the mug down she waved at them from her position, shouting loudly in order to make herself known over the general din coming from inside.

"Hey, y'all! Welcome to Riven Innards!"

 

--------

 

Another pair of eyes also watched them walk into the bar, though only with casual interest. Rainbow Dash sat in a far corner of the tavern, surrounded by a small group of bar buddies. Mugs of apple cider stacked neck high in a tapering pyramid in front of her, every one of them drained except the one at the top.

 

She didn’t know what to think of the pair that walked in. She had heard less than positive stories about minotaurs from Rarity and Pinkie Pie's description of Iron Will, but they both had a tendency to be drama queens, so she decided she'd find out for herself later. From what she saw, this guy didn’t look all that bad, though. Neither did the mare, Rainbow admitted, even if she was a little on the short side. Probably be better not to mention that to her face, though, she thought warily. But she had more important things to focus on right now.

 

She dashed out of her seat, pulling the top mug off of the pyramid and returning back cleanly with impressive speed; she didn’t even spill a drop. The group began chanting her name as she stared at the cup for what seemed like an eternity.

 

Pause for dramatic tension…

 

After giving it a few seconds time, she slammed the cup back, draining it in seconds before slamming it down onto the table in front of her. The group roared ecstatically  in response, loudly cheering her name from the back of the tavern.

“That’s right!” she shouted just as loudly back to them. She was floating, quite literally three feet in the air as she soaked in the praise around her. “Rainbow Dash! Best Pegasus and the best at holding her cider! Pay up!”

" There is no disrespect in not knowing, Krigare Tyra. The Golden Horns are still very much alive and kicking... Just in another incarnation. Maybe if you meet some of my friends someday, which you are bound to eventually... You will know what I mean. But for now..."

 

His smile returned, if a bit forced. "We drink and drink and bask in whimsical ignorance!" He said as he walked in with her. The smells of a watering hole, along with their sounds, sights, and overall feelings of drunken camaraderie were comforting feelings that reminded him of home.

Lorec smiled at Applejack, and raised his hand slightly in the air. He spoke to this pony, voice booming in this hallowed hall. In his culture, Taverns were almost as sacred as the Tauric Tabernacles that dotted his homeland. For this place, he held great reverence, as the price was fair and the drink was good. " Greetings and heartfelt welcomes! We have come to drink until we can no more!"

 

He then heard the roaring of a crowd as a certain Pegasus had just finished downing her fair share of cider. Lorec raised his arm and also cheered. This Pegasus had amazing tolerance, given the body-mass index level. Or... Was cider even alcoholic? Lorec could not remember, as he always goes after an infamous homeland special. He finished his cheer, and went to find a seat in the tavern that was open for him, Tyra, and others, if they wanted to join.

 

And then, as it happened, he hit his head on a wooden beam during his search for an open table. These ponies built their ceilings too low, and with Lorec being as tall as he was, it wasn't helping. Rubbing his forehead with his fingers, he cursed silently

 

"Schiße, that hurt...."

[Unicorncob 5,694]

Tyra smirked and nodded at Lorec's proposal.

"Aye, let us begin the merriment!" She yelled, pumping a hoof in the air.

 

Though, she did wonder what Krigare meant. She'd need to remember to ask.

 

Entering the tavern, they were greeted by a rather friendly looking earth pony behind the bar, sporting a rather fashionable hat. Popular in the Equestrian heartlands, she discovered one trek.

"And good greetings to you!" She called back to her.

 

She perked up as she spotted a pegasus mare, with the most peculiar mane and tail she'd ever seen, polish off a pyramid of cider, and be applauded for her effort. Even Lorec applauded for her.

She decided to join in, and whooped for joy.

 

And then, an idea formed. "Do you think I could best her in a drinking match?" She asked Lorec.

 

Just in time for the minotaur to bump his head on the ceiling. It sounded pretty painful.

"Are you well, friend?" She asked with some concern.

Skitz looked at the lights. "I might go home. Might not. I don't know yet." He saw a shadow in the lights. "Crap he found me. Lemme just..." Skitz stood up "Did he find me or did I lose more of it?"

He studied the lights closely but couldn't make anything out because the lights.
