Arena 56: The Lion Pit
"No" said Lina, "but I've seen it enough to know that you're better off putting off dying as long as possible."

"Can't argue with that!" Alice replied with eyes-closed massive grin.

Humming to herself, she made her way towards the exit with a bounce in her step. While she thought she knew where she was going, her sense of balance wasn't fully there yet. As result she wound up walking smack into the middle of the doorframe.

"OW!" She said.

A satisfying 'thud!' could be heard as she rammed into half the wall and then fell to the ground.

"I'm ok!" She added from the ground, holding her arm up in an effort to back up her questionable statement.

Arena 56: The Lion Pit
Lina sighed as as she walked towards the commons with Alice. She wondered who else would be there - hopefully Leo would have won too and managed to not get mauled. Since everyone in here was supposed to have a mark, the odds of winning were probably good. A few of the people she had seen coming in looked like they were used to handling trouble; they all had the same look in their eyes as she did. And yet, by some twist of fate, she was paired up with a klutz with a death wish.

"Hey Alice," she asked. "Why are you even in here?"

There was a touch of ignorance in Alice's voice as she spoke, as though she was certain she hadn't done anything wrong. After all, she had done nothing more than find a special trinket that gave her special powers, even if they weren't always predictable. She couldn't understand why claiming something someone else had no doubt thrown out had gotten her in trouble. One man's trash, after all.

"I don't know." Alice said. "But I think it has something to do with this mark thing."

She pulled the mark she had found out of a pocket on the worn-out dress she had been brought in with and held it up for Lina to see.

But as she continued, it was also clear that she knew full well it was the mark that had gotten her in trouble, whether or not she had any reason to think she should have gotten in trouble for having it.

"I found it in the street without being sure what it was, but I had this feeling in my gut that it was special. Sure enough, after playing around with it a little, I discovered it gave me these nifty powers! But then some police found out about it and told me I wasn't supposed to have the mark or the powers. Next thing I know, I find myself here."

The Aviary

The pointed finger turned soon became a clenched fist and the bird would feel a massive pull on all it's body towards it's center. Unless it had a strong support strucure intide itself it would implode.

Arden Deprato

"Lessons, huh? That doesn't sound too bad." Arden said in subtle agreement. He was looking forward to the lessons. Without a doubt, it would come in handy, especially looking at how their first fight had been against an honest-to-God dragon.

He then looked at the other man, "I think you should let me check your shoulder; I doubt the prison doctor is an especially nice one." Arden said, rubbing the back of his head slightly.

"Even if it has popped back, the ligaments might be strained, or worse, not to mention how it can pop back out quite easily. Normally, you would have to put it in a sling for quite some time, but with my Mark, I think I can simplify the entire process." He explained as the sounds of the cheers grew more distant.

Arden stopped walking abruptly. "There's no longer a need to call each other with that names they gave us, right?" He looked at the other two, "My name's Arden Deprato." Subconsciously he stressed the pronunciation of his surname, fully intent on preventing another social disaster from taking place in his life.

Arena 32: The Aviary
"Perfect," Leonidas said, as the gravity wave stopped, leaving him once again in the planet's regular gravitational pull... floating dozens of feet above the ground. Hitting the ground with a soft thud, his body's area nearly doubled as the impact flattened him out. Most people would have just been grateful to not be dead, but not Leo.

"What the hell was that?" he shouted at Franz as he started getting up, thinking pull as hard as he could to get his body and limbs back to normal.

"Figures," Lina said, "You don't seem like the type who'd kill someone or steal something on purpose."

Victor Lunaris, exiting Arena 1

"Urgh...that certainly wasn't pretty...GRARGH! URK!", Victor exclaimed as he transformed back into his human form while walking out of the arena. Staggering a bit, he wiped the blood out of his eye, that had come from the wound he suffered. "One down, who knows how many else to go...", he sighed, returning to the holding area.

Alice, back in the commons

"Of course not!" Alice said, almost shocked that Lina would even think she had committed theft and murder. "That would be just mean."

Arena 4

Dean sighed and leaned back, staring at the audience around them. Looking for three very specific people. "Yes. A showerTO WASH OFF THE SHAME." he noted blearily, "I haven't bathed since I got STOLE my Mark from THE MISTRESS. Mayb—THEY ARE HERE!!"

Dean seemed renewed with the same fear he felt at the firing squad: savage and blind. He jabbed a finger at the audience madly, pointing to three women: two taller and more mature, early twenties; twins; typically beautiful and snobbish.

The third, however, was a girl of about Dean's age. They had similar curly hair and brown eyes, but the similarities ended there: where Dean's was ratlike, deathly, and hollow, hers was cherubic, mousey and full of life. She was leaning bak with her head on one of the sisters' breast, staring at her with petlike adoration. Neither sister was staring back, both instead focused on Dean, expressions neutral.

Dean recoiled backwards from their glares, sweating and hyperventilating and just, over and over, whispering, "no no no no no no no"

"Nice to meet you, Arden." Patrick said and extended his hand. "I'm Patrick. Patrick Schneider. So you mentioned your Mark. Speaking of which, I haven't seen you use it in that fight. What can you do?"

"Not too much, really. Just fixing others up, nothing flashy." Arden said. "Anyway, nice to meet you." He answered the extended hand with his own.

"She said a bath, not a shower. And I'd love one." Mona smiled at Reva as she slinked over to Dean, rubbing his head and trying to calm him down, smiling but looking slightly bored.

"I'm guessing there won't be bubble bath, though."

Dean recoiled briefly at Mona. Again. "Hgghhh. Don't-talk-of-bubble-baths. Th—I—bad things with bubble baths."

Dean jabbed at the audience again. "Her. My sister. Them. Former employees. They terminated my employment." Dean huddled closer to Mona, as if to hide from the observers. "I objected to the terms of my sister's employment. Bubble baths involved. Law enforcement did nothing. Acquired my own means of enforcement. Broke Mach 50so they buried the blade in my mind. They did the same to my sister."

"Oh, so you can heal!" Patrick exclaimed. "I wish I had something cool like that. This power's been pretty useless so far."

"True." Alice admitted. "But that's no excuse for me to be a mean person. If I'm mean to others, than I give them a reason to be mean to me. I'd prefer to be nice to people and give them a reason to be nice to others in turn."

"Not everyone's so... nice," Lina said. "Some people will be terrible no matter how you treat them. They're no better than animals - like the lions. And if you're nice to them, they'll just use that as a chance to eat you."

Elena Monfrank

"Well, I won't object to being called by my proper number, 015-AD-105, however if you wish to know my name it is Elena Monfrank" says the soldier woman before she brought a hand to her chin, looking at Arden with approval "Healing it is? I'm sorry I did not inquire about it before. If I knew there was a healer around I might have tried a few different things in the battle"

"Also, do not think your power useless, Patrick" says Elena "A power that can keep you safe, that can make it so that nobody can harm you... that is quite a valuable power to have. No opponent can defeat you if they can't touch you, after all. If you use your power well, then you can never lose. And in battle, if you can not get touched then you can move around the battlefield with impunity, get places nobody else could and then strike at the enemy's weak point. It is an incredible skill you have Patrick... never underestimate it"

Wherever Alice and Lina Are

"But that's such a pessimistic outlook!" Alice replied. "It would be terrible to go through life making enemies of everyone because I think they're bad rather than being open to the possibility that they're good and potentially making a new friend. I'd prefer to assume there's a least a little bit of good inside everyone."

She used her arms to give a motion replicating something approximate to a tree sprouting out of the ground and growing as she continued.

"You just have to find it, nurture it, and help it grow"

Arden Deprato

"People aren't as sharp when they have a healer handy, as I learned the hard way." Arden said, "It's miraculous enough that the dragon failed to inflict any crippling ones."

"About your power, Patrick, I don't think being able to escape any kind of physical harm counts as 'useless'." He recalled the moment he escaped from the dragon's breath of fire.

The Elder dragon

The crowd cheered wildly, echoes of their ruckus even reaching Arena 108. They had come for a spectacle, and by god he had given it to them. They loved it. Every second of it. Every drop, every morsel and torn sinew. This was the darkest depths of the Kaiserreich.


The Eternal Wyrm

Johann obliged, and the worm did exactly as planned. The dirt beneath Elizabeth slowly transmuted into a sticky, caustic sand, and gave way, throwing them into the pit with the worm. They could see where the acid came out of, presumably its mouth, rushing up to meet them. If they were planning on being swallowed, this was it.

But the worm didn't comply. Its "mouth", if that's what it was, was incredibly muscular and tight, convulsing and stretching and squeezing Elizabeth and the golems that had managed to stick with her like a sphincter. That's when Elizabeth felt a warm sensation at her toes. The worm wasn't trying to swallow them. It would just digest them here and now.


The Aviary

One bird exploded, flattening and forcing all its insides outside. The rest took flight, peppering that one with more darts.

Perry

"Anyone?" Perry said. He was expecting armed guards, perhaps with a chloroform rag. Maybe it'd be like before, and he'd turn around to receive a rifle butt. "Maybe they don't want to be frozen. Or crushed." With a flick of his fingers, his barriers, all but his personal one, disappeared with a sharp CRACK! The solidified magma golem, held together into a human form by one of his barriers, was now hollow.

"I'll be here all week." he walked passed the newly opened doors and towards the prison complex.
