"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!

Always been my excuse.

[He sticks his hands in his pockets, picking out faces among the ones filing in.]

So besides me, who else are you rooting for?

[markofthewise]

Well... I'm hoping Xion does okay against Edward. [But that dude is one tiny, metal-limbed beast. So who knows...] I really don't care much about the rest.

[endgames]

Edward... [Oh, he remembers talking to that guy. Didn't see the automail until today, though.] Guy with the metal limbs? I'm glad I'm not fighting him.

[markofthewise]

Yeah... I'd kind of call it unfair, but it's not like he has a choice.

[He either has metal limbs or he doesn't.]

[endgames]

That's true enough. [Still stacks things again the girl he's fighting, though. He'll have to watch that match closely.]

You're friends with both of them?

[markofthewise]

More or less. I've known Xion nearly as long as I've been here, though.

[endgames]

Long enough to knows some of her strengths then.

[markofthewise]

You could say that. She's been training with Suki. So she should be able to avoid most of his blows.

[endgames]

[He nods.] Personally? I think in these types of things, dodging is the more impressive ability.

[markofthewise]

Well sure, but dodging only goes so far if your opponent happens to be good at it too.

[endgames]

I dunno. If I liked watching that sort of thing more, I'd say that's when the fight gets good.

[markofthewise]

[Sokka shrugs.] Nobody wants to see someone dancing around the fighting ring. They wanna see people get hit, punched, and have boulders thrown at them. That's entertainment!

[endgames]

Ah, c'mon. What about the strategy?

[markofthewise]

If you want strategy, watch a Pai Sho game.

[endgames]

[Sigh.] You'd fit right in in a Chuunin Exam stand.

[markofthewise]

They appreciate a good fight, huh?

[endgames]

[Fight/death match.]

You ain't kidding. There's two a year - people came from like nine different countries for the Finals of the last one.

[markofthewise]

... I went to an Earthbending tournament once. People from all over the Earth Kingdom come to see that. [Yeah. It's not as big a deal. Oh well.]

[endgames]

Impressive. [He still wins.]

They don't have any other kinds of tournaments? You'd think some mixed fighting would sell better.

[markofthewise]

Well, we were kind of busy at the time with the whole, you know, stopping the world from being taken over by evil Firebenders. So our sightseeing was kind of limited.

[endgames]

Thought you were from after that war.

[markofthewise]

Yeah. Like, a week. A week and a half. Enough time to go home and hug my Gran.

[endgames]

Hm. [Not very long after all. And it leads to an odder question on his half.] Do you miss it?

[markofthewise]

What, home? Of course I do. It's... well, home.
