Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

As they walk deeper into the hallway, they will soon find themselves in a rather clean room with a huge holographic screen, some unidentifiable furniture, other identifiable furniture like chairs and tables, and, finally, a long-haired man lounging on one of the chairs, reading a book.

"Hello there," he greets, not bothering to look up from his book.

The room, it should be noted, has five doors that lead elsewhere.

"Uh huh, hello."

He chooses a random door, heading towards it to open it.

"Greetings ! Pardon our intrusion, good sir."

Before he even touches the door, a holographic error message would appear, and if he tries to touch the door even after the message has popped up, he'll find himself being blocked by some kind of invisible wall.

"Please don't touch that. The programming here is still unfinished, and the interface is still an unstable feature, especially with those servers."

His eyes move to Sarah.

"It's fine."

"...I don't...I'm trying to get through this door."

Passage does not exist: Door

"Programming ?"

She attempts to sit down.

And this is where the man puts down his book, looking at Sarah and the man.

"...Oh."

He promptly facepalms.

"Sorry about that. I suppose I really am too obsessed with computers and programming nowadays."

Removing the palm from his face, he looks at the man.

"I meant that you shouldn't try to open the door."

Sarah will be able to successfully sit down.

"...Okay."

He heads to another one, reaching over and hoping for the best.

@Syme:Sarah, not Neuff.

(it's fine but thanks monty :o)

She smirks.

"So, who might you be ?"

The sound of fighting can be heard. Steel is busy clanging against steel.

"You're too predictable! Try harder!"

"ShutupshutupSHUTUP!"

The second voice lets out a loud grunt as the sound of someone hitting the floor can be heard.

"Enough!"

"...?"

He shrugs, leaving.

Haven't use Cable in a while, so...

Cable, hearing the sounds of battle, approaches.

Sarah politely leave and heads towards the fighting.

In the middle of a clearing, a girl◊ is lying on the ground, having been knocked down. A young man◊, chuckling a bit, holds out his hand to help her up.

"Come on, get up. You still need more practice before you can take me on, sis."

Presiding over both of them, is another, older man, dressed in fine armor, befitting of a noble.

"You're too foolhardy, my dear. You fight headfirst, when your strengths lie elsewhere."

The girl isn't too happy at the criticism, but takes it in humble silence. She gives her hand to the young man, and is helped to her feet.

"..."

He silently watches, completely motionless.

"Greetings." she says, waving her hand;

The three look at the others. The two younger ones bow their heads humbly.

"Greetings. I hope me and my sister here weren't disturbing you with our practice."

"Cheater...But nice to meet you all."

The older man nods at them.

"Greetings of the day. As my son said, I hope their little practice session didn't distur-"

All of a sudden, the girl leaps and tackles her brother to the ground, a satisfied cackle escaping her mouth as they wrestle a bit.

"...Hey."

"Do not worry, my friends. I am not one to be bothered by such noises."

She smiles.

The man manages to wrestle his sister off of him.

"That wasn't fair!"

"Just playing to my strengths!"

She grins, spinning the twin knives using her fingers before putting them on her back.

The old man shrugs, a look of 'she's technically right' on his face. He himself can't suppress a small chortle either.

"All's fair in love and war, after all."

The son just looks at his father with an expression of pure WTF.

"...Training, huh?"

"It reminds me of my youth." she says. "Just keep it cool, hm ?"

"Well, it's more like one-sided pain."

The man chuckles a bit as his sister punches him on the shoulder.

"I'll eventually get better than you someday. Then we'll see how one-sided it is."

The man sighs, before smiling at them.

"Yes, quite. I am Lord Ansley Romano. These are my son and daughter, Wallach Romano and Leona."

Notably, he doesn't give the same 'last name treatment' to the supposed daughter.

"My name is Cable- and just so there are no surprises, I'm a robot. Good to meet you all."

She notice and retains it, before making a polite bow.

"I am Sarah Tripadora, nice to meet you."
