"buddy you're a boy make a big noise;"

[alloys]

Who: Tony, fight participants, medical aide, and whoever wants to come watch!
What: Fight club!
When: Thursday, February 9th
Where: The tunnels
Summary: Placing bets and taking swings.
Rating: PG-13?
Let's get ready to rumble, boys and girls! A few quick notes:

Double check the fight roster--I moved some things around, namely matching up Firo with Homura since their respective opponents weren't able to participate. Let me know if something is amiss!

Characters who are fighting will be told their opponent's name upon arrival, and fights will proceed in the order they appear on the roster up there. Let me know if you need to be moved around for whatever reason!

Tony and Shikamaru will be policing the fights for any funny business, but fights will end when one of the participants forfeits or gets knocked out cold. So your character can get bloodied, bludgeoned, and broken and keep going if they wish! Remember, there's no magic since this is in the tunnels, and there are no weapons allowed in the fights. Just your fists, elbows, et cetera.

And should they have some owwies that need attention, Adele, Katara, Luca and Ange will be on hand to provide medical assistance. What troopers.

Spectators can interact however and whenever they want, so feel free to start a new thread for your character who is watching!

Now have fun, and earn some radical new scars while you're at it!

Yeah, we... I dunno if you'd call it hang out, but we're sometimes... around each other. And we don't fight. And we help each other out with stuff. We were on a draft together. Fought off a big, ugly Shift Hunter. And a bear. Twice.

[fourteen]

... twice?

[markofthewise]

He was a girl the second time. [...] Ed, I mean. Not the bear.

[fourteen]

[ ...

She bursts out laughing, though she keeps it short by clapping a hand over her mouth. ]

Wow. Poor guy! I know how that feels. Well, the turning into the opposite gender part, not the ... bear part. How did you guys run into a bear twice?

[markofthewise]

[Oh yes, Sokka knows. He's been a woman three times. And the last two times in his right mind, just the wrong body. You haven't been in Luceti until you've had your plumbing changed.]

It's a menace! It just. Keeps attacking us. Well, okay, it's only been twice. But that's only because it's hibernating now.

[fourteen]

... maybe you should try something other than fighting it?

[markofthewise]

Like what... eating it? That would be pretty wasteful.

[fourteen]

... have you tried talking to it?

[ She's ready for the look he'll give her. But she knows the animals here can talk, and she really does wonder if they've just ... asked. :| ]

[markofthewise]

[THIS LOOK?]

... talk to it, yeah. While it's chasing us I'll just turn around and ask if it would mind telling us why it thinks we'd make a tasty breakfast.

[fourteen]

[ Yes. That look precisely. ]

If I was with you, I could hold it up with a stop spell... but I'm serious, Sokka. Maybe you could talk it out of coming after you!

[markofthewise]

It's an animal, Xion. Just because Luceti makes it talk, doesn't make it any smarter than a regular bear.

[fourteen]

That doesn't mean you couldn't get it to understand you! Is fighting it over and over really the better idea? [ Hands on hips.

It's not really the bear she's worried about. But bears are huge and dangerous, and she doesn't want him to get hurt. ]

[markofthewise]

Well I could just let him have Ed. That would solve things.

[Sorry Xion. Sokka isn't going to talk to wildlife. Not when it can answer back.]

[fourteen]

[ Rolls her eyes and gives him a nudge. ] Yeah, and then you'd have half the village after you instead! That's a great plan. [ Sticks her tongue out at him. HER IDEA IS A GOOD ONE, OKAY, YOU'RE JUST STUBBORN. ]

[markofthewise]

You really think a whole half of the village likes Ed? [HE IS SKEPTICAL.]

[fourteen]

I don't know! [ She giggles. ] I don't even know him! I'm just saying.

[ Oh, Sokka. You're a good friend to have in moments like these. He's helping her feel at ease, which is good, considering the seriously tense atmosphere going on elsewhere. ]

[markofthewise]

Yeah, well, you're about to get to know him. Then you'll see what I mean.

[Of course he's a good friend. Not that this is intentional or anything. But he holds out some jerky.]

Jerky?
