Who: Everyone!
What: First Annual Luceti Tournament
When: May 2nd
Where: Battle Dome
Summary: Peony has made good on his promise to set up a tournament and today is the day for all the action.
Rating: PG-13 for the violence/fighting/possible language.

Finally the promised day has arrived! As competitors and audiences alike gather for the start, the whole outside area draws the eye to the grand carpet and banners with symbols for every event. There is also a table being restocked with free snacks and water bottles for those waiting around or still finding their way. Most notably, though, is a signboard with the times for all the events and competitors.

Whether you're competing or here for the entertainment, however, it's hoped you'll enjoy the events and fight or cheer hard! Now without further ado, make your own threads or comment around and let the games begin...

Advancements aren't infallible. There are other aspects that can threaten a society.

So by that logic, society doesn't advance linearly onward? There's pit stops in that "time?"

I wouldn't call them pit stops, but if you take wars into account, or natural decline of resources in that time, there are factors there.

Mmm. So you imagine that people are going to dig up computers when they're back in the stone age?

You should never discount possibilities. Besides, we've seen the evidence with magitechnology. Once the mana is gone, the machinery becomes obsolete...

Hold up, hold up.

[ He holds ups a hand here ]

Magitechnology?

Yes? [She raises an eyebrow, as if to say did nothing stick with you from classes at all?]

I'm... pretty sure that never existed in my world.

[ Yes, yes, he recalls it now, actually. Ancient technology powered by magic stuff ]

Other worlds have had some variation, but I don't believe Earth was one of them... [Though there had been Earths with magic and extremely advanced technology to her knowledge...]

In any case, there are ruins from Sylvarant that reflect the high point of society in those times. Although, granted, there were cycles that were dictated, of regeneration and decline.

Oh yeah... yeah, I think I recall that. Cycles based on the rise and fall of that one group of oppressive fellows, and overturned to make it blossom again, right?

... Something like that, anyway. [ She hadn't made it a point to be too explicit about the details with more than just a few people, given Mithos's presence in the enclosure and her other hangups. ] Granted that world situation is a bit ... unique when compared to the others out there.

Yeah. I mean, they do say that history happens in cycles on Earth, but I can't say that I've ever seen the truth in that.

Has it never been fully researched?

More like, as far as I know, there's no evidence there for anyone to bother researching it. Hell, the people who say stuff like "Atlantis was a super advanced society and then it sank" are the crackpots, in my world.

Sounds a lot like they've given up. That's ridiculous.

I couldn't tell you one way or the other.

Fair enough. At this point you aren't actually there to do something about the issue.

And far from my place. I know my current attractive form belies this fact, but back home I am still just finishing my first year of high school.

[ To compliment the first part there, he does flex a bit though ]

All the more time to learn then. If something happens to change your point of view, that is. If not... [A shrug.] Wishful thinking, isn't it?

Extremely. I'll have you know, I'm not half the man I am now - or well, I won't, be, given how the time works.

And does that bother you, knowing that the experiences you have here will likely not have a bearing of how you grow up there?

[ Yes. More before than now, he's accepted there's a purpose for it now, but if he thinks any more on it... yes. But this is not the time, or the place. He just grins a little, ironically ]

Ah, well, that can't be helped.
