The young man raised an eyebrow at Izumi's declaration, but quickly turned his attention back to Harry, as he pulled out the 3 Medals. "I give you one last chance to yield, pup. It would be a shame to kill you now; you certainly are a unique specimen, and I have no way or preserving you for my collection."

"I will not be your trophy. I'd back down if I was you. I'm losing my sense of mercy."

Potentially an ally, the voice continued, and at present, I believe that that is really all you need or wish to know.

The doors ground to a halt, having parted just widely enough to permit two men walking abreast to pass between them; of what lay beyond this partially-open gate, little cold be seen but a great expanse of white which contrasted greatly with a seemingly-endless sky of dark clouds. A tall, rather handsome fellow dressed in the flamboyant fashions of something akin to those of the European Renaissance stepped out from this frigid room, his lips spread wide in a closed yet charming smile as he swept his gaze across the span of the All-Lair. A sword of some sort lay sheathed at his left hip, the corresponding hand resting on the pommel of said weapon, and something metallic glinted faintly just beneath the ruffs of his cuffs. His garb was sodden with water and bits of ice, though this was perhaps understandable given that he appeared to have just walked straight out of the Artic Circle; yet the wetness of his otherwise-impeccable attire did not seem to trouble him or dampen his mood one bit, even with the frigid winds gusting forth from the room behind him.

He seemed every bit the affable dandy or aristocrat at first glance, but if any of the Overlords present were to take a closer look, they might notice that a few things seemed off about him. Most obviously, perhaps, was the fact that his eyes were solid black: they possessed neither iris nor pupil nor even sclera as far as anyone would be able to tell, making it impossible to tell exactly what he might be looking at at any given moment. Furthermore, the position of his left hand would allow those with sufficiently keen eyes to notice that his fingernails seemed far more like the claws of some beast than those of an ordinary human.

I concur that there is no need for violence, he said without moving his lips, his suave voice echoing within the minds of all those present. A resolution can be achieved without needless death and bloodshed, provided that I receive an answer to my questions. Firstly, where is this place and how did I come to be here?

"You my good sirs are in the All-Lair. You are forced to play sick and twisted games for these god-like entities. In a while the other pawns in their game will return."

Harry chuckles bitterly. "Until then I guess we bond."

"Ooooh! I love to bond!" Izumi said, rushing to Harry.

The mention of godlike entities made the strange fellow's lips quirk ever so slightly in a faint smirk of what might have been either amusement or thinly-veiled annoyance. When Izumi rushed towards Harry, a thick wall of ice erupted from the floor to separate the two.

Izumi was pushed down by the all of ice. "Ah shucks..." Izumi said.

"Why sir he doesn't seem violent. Let the man make friends. After all who knows how long we'll be trapped in our cross-dimensional prison?"

The young man laughs heartily. "So I am to be the pawn now, eh? An interesting turn of events. Of course this too shall end and they shall come into my fold, but... until then, the prospect of taking hold of a new lifestyle seems positively...

Wonderful."

The man in red's smile faded into a soft frown as the young man explained what was going on here. He put his hand against his chin, looking in thought. "What sort of games are we expected to go through and to what ends?" he asked.

Harry shrugs. "I do not know. Up until today I was just a humble observer."

"And I... Did absolutely nothing. Ooooh, if only Katsumi-chan were here..." Izumi said.

Harry points to Izumi. "He's just got here. Reminds me of a foolish man though... Daido was it?"

"Yes! That's Katsumi-chan! But a fool?" Izumi said.

I know something of prisons, my good man, the aristocratic fellow replied to Harry, quirking an eyebrow as he glanced briefly at the ceiling. Compared to what I have experienced, this can be considered something of a reprieve...though it remains a nuisance, to be sure.

He turned his gaze back to Harry then, and his expression grew somewhat more serious. Now then, what else can you tell us about the nature of this gaol and its gaolers?

"Each one of us have a chamber. Yours my good sir is represented by that cauldron. Our gaolers seem to want to make sure rules are followed. Even rules not established by them. Most of the times however they laugh at their pawns trying to fight in their sick and twisted games. We are but puppets."

The man nodded once or twice as he listened to Harry's description, and when the self-made orphan fell silent, his smile returned for a brief moment. Understandable; had our positions been reversed, I cannot say with good conscience that I would not have done the same. Please continue.

"There will be times where a portal opens. That's what leads to the games sir."

Harry goes to the Observing Table. (OOC: I forgot the name...) "This is where we can observe the games."

Harry notices that the Challengers are all girls. "Well this is rich. They've all gotten forced sex changes... and age changes for some. Azula's the only natural girl..."

Harry sighs a little.

The young man follows Harry to the Observing Table, and sits down. Upon seeing all the female contestants, he licks his lips for the slightest of moments before relaxing into a smile. He then turns his attention to Izumi. "You. Come here."

Meanwhile the Rahkshi had been frozen over, the ice jamming their mechanics and freezing them in place.

"Yes?" Izumi said, walking to him.

The young man suddenly yanked Izumi close to him, and sniffed. "My medals have tasted your blood... or will. Who are you?"

"K-Kyosui Izumi... Yeah... I have recalled being killed by you. But you look different." Izumi said.

The young man's features split into a wicked grin. "Interesting..." Izumi could tell that plans were being made in the young man's head. "Well, never mind that. Show me to my chamber."

"Hm... Well, there's that fabulous door over there." Izumi said, pointing to a door that was recently new.

I'll leave it to you to describe the door and room.
