Brenner's Wolves Fight Again
Yuria was startled when she heard a sudden laugh. She turned back and saw a hooded man who was not there one minute ago.
"Er... hello?"
Rooke and Knightley were both gave the stranger a leer.
Where there's life, there's hope.

The stranger gives a slight wave.
“Hello.”
His voice is subdued, deep, clear, but too deep.
He tilts his head at the leering.
“Is there something on my face?”

Yuria said. "Please don't mind my companions. They can get too serious sometimes. Anyway, we didn't get to say hi. What's your name?"
Where there's life, there's hope.

The stranger chuckles. "My name, you say? Hmmmm...I doubt I'd like to reveal it to a potential opponent, lest I'm recognized and my deck revealed."
He taps his chin, where a dusting of what can barely be called a beard can be seen. "For now...M will do just fine."
He nods, "And yourself? Does a girl have a name?"

"Yuria Mariana, and my deck represents the power of the ocean."
Yuria pulled out three cards from her Extra Deck and showed them to "M:" Mermail Abyssalacia, White Aura Dolphin, and Bahamut Shark.

"M" blinks. "Ooph...Mermails. Those're tough."
He chuckles. "Well, I suppose it's only fair I show an ace or two of my own."
He too pulls out two cards from his Extra Deck. Stardust Spark Dragon and Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend.
"I suppose you could say I represent...Balance in all things."
Brenner's Wolves Fight Again
Yuria's eyes widened. "Ooh, looks like one destroys while the other protects. I think it means that if you have both on the field, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend can destroy monsters while Stardust Spark Dragon protects itself."
Where there's life, there's hope.

“M” places the cards back in the extra deck. “Just one of the combos my deck carries.”
He chuckles to himself.
Is this your power, Yagami?
Waiting Room
Jo couldn't help but suppress the sigh that built up and tried to escape from him, the wrestling hopeful closed his eyes and massaged the bridge of his nose as he tried to process just how weird some of the people in this tournament were. And now there was a new guy in a cloak and hood trying to be cryptic and honestly he just wished there were more normal people present.
"Well, I hope you have at least a Link Two and a way to get them out reliably if that's going to be your ace in the hole." Jo chimed in, deciding it was best to just go with the flow.

MEETING ROOM
Jack rolled his eyes. Honestly, there was way too much talk about philosophy of cards. He looked at the cloaked man and then at everyone else.
"You know, I appreciate the pizzazz, but can you just talk straight?" He asked the cloaked figure, "I get what you're going for. But it is stupid."
Good to be back
Back after a long hiatus
Mellie gave the new guy a nod after he complemented her joke, but didn't say much else. That was about all the mental energy she was willing to spare before the next round; she'd need it when she was dueling. (Besides, talking to someone with a getup like that was... more intimidating than she'd like to admit, wispy little beard or no.)
The others didn't seem as impressed, though. Especially the other new guy, who seemed all business, and said as much. Mellie stayed out of what she saw as an argument waiting to happen, partly because she didn't see the point, and partly because she just didn't like arguing.

"M" had all of a sudden become popular it seems. He decided to address Jo first. "Well, why don't I give you my Extra deck while I'm at it?" He chuckles. "If I gave away all my deck's tricks, the duel wouldn't be fun, now would it."
Jack's comment, however, struck a nerve for the entertainer. But rather than raises his voice, he decides to continue on with his little act and raises his head, a glint of hazel peeking out from beneath the cloak's hood. "My aesthetic is stupid, hm? Odd, coming from someone else who looks like they walked out of post-apocalyptia, wouldn't you think?"
Waiting Room
Allin stared at the eccentric newbie with idle curiosity, before finally rolling his eyes. "You can be as mysterious and cryptic as you want, but you can hook the crowd only so much with an act like that, my friend. And the matter of links is not one of secrecy or strategy. For a combo like that, it is necessity. Otherwise you're just making a fool of yourself boasting about it with no way of getting it out." Allin continued to twirl Orcustrion atop his finger before slipping it back and sleight of handing it out for another card, Galatea.

“My, haven’t I become the popular one.” He chuckles. “Very well, I’ll enlighten you. I have 4 to 5 variations of a strategy to have both of these monsters on the field in one turn.”
He smirks. “As for this ‘act’ as you call it...it’s got the attention of most of you, hasn’t it? Why worry about hooking the crowd if I can hook my opponents instead?”
He reaches a hand up and pushes his good back. The face underneath is that of a young man with black hair with white flecks scattered throughout. He couldn’t be older than his early twenties. “After all, a crowd is a crowd. What is a duel if I cannot engage my opponent? What is a tournament without friendly competition? Boring, that’s what.”
Waiting Room
Allin smirked as the newcomer seemed to go on. "My my, not getting full of yourself are we? Under the impression that any kind of attention is good attention? A child throwing a temper tantrum gets the attention of a whole store, I will say. We all wear our masks, why not make the one we show to others and the crowd more... Appealing." The idol leaned against the wall as he slipped Galatea back into his deck. "After all, this is a public tournament. Yes, the one who wins the tournament will have fame and glory, but the one who captures the hearts of the viewers also wins. This is a grand stage, with no script. An opera being written as its sung. And no better feeling on the stage than the exultation of the crowd."

"Equating those who seek attention to a child crying? Kehahaha, perhaps some people are like that. 'All the world's a stage, and we are all but actors' isn't it?" "M" smiles a little. "Good to see a fellow entertainer, in any case...even one with a worldview like that."
He sits back. "Still...gotta wonder what's taking them so long to set up, eh?"

THE WAITING ROOM
Jack walked up, grabbing a chair and sitting across from the hooded man. "These are my riding leathers, and they will tell you all you need to know about me." He poked the man on the chest. "I ain't got nothing to hide."
"Let's be clear, I'm not a fan of your mysterious 'who-am-I' games. Alright? I only care if you got a good deck, or, failing that, a decent right hook. And the world ain't a stage. A stage is a stage."

Waiting Area
Anna seemed to receive a call from someone. She nodded, whispered something into her phone, and quickly left the room.
However, before anyone could say anything about it, the intercom sprung to life.
"Attention Duelists!" Proclaimed Kayla, back to her more energetic attitude, "The Round 2 match ups are as stated, pay attention!"
"Jo Garcia Vs Byron Carmikel!"
"Camellia Valentine Vs Charlie Wick!"
"Allin Heartlan Vs Zach Compvet!"
"Yuria Mariana Vs Bobby Vulcan!"
"Jack Rust Vs Tina Sulf!"
"Jason Maxwell Vs Timothy Galio!"
Kayla listed off a few more names.
"Please begin to enter the arena."
Once again, everyone got up and headed into the main arena.
For those who are new, after you make a post of your character entering the arena I will PM you your hand and introduce your opponent.

"And that, biker boy, is my cue. I'm sure we can continue this..."riveting" conversation later."
"M" removes his cloak and places it on a hook, revealing the crisp vest and black pants underneath, as well as a black and white Duel Disk.
"I'm not one for fighting, but never let it be said Jason Maxwell does not duel"
And with that, he makes his way to his gate.
Jason vs Timothy!
Jason steps onto his side of the platform, smirking confidently. He waves to the crowd around him.
"Let's get this show on the road, shall we? Let's light it UP!"
His Disk unfolds as he punches the air above him.
Jason Vs Timothy
Timothy seemed to be around the same age as Jason, wearing a sleeveless white coat. He had long, nearly white blond hair. He readied his white and yellow duel disk.
"Ah, finally someone else with a flair for the dramatic," He remarked, "Let's make this beautiful."
"Duel!"
A holographic coin flipped into the hair, landing with on a side marked with an arrow pointing to Jason, marking him to go first.
Wait what?

"Alright, it's time!"
"Kick some butt, Miss Yuria!" Knightley shouted.
Yuria gve Knightley a thumb up and ran toward the stadium.
Where there's life, there's hope.

"Good luck everyone. And may the best duelist win."
Allin vs Zach
Allin entered with a flair, gesturing towards the crowd packing the stadium. "Good morning, everyone, and thank you for making it out today. I'm sure you're more wanting to see a duel than more of little old me, so I'll move on quick, but let's get a grand cheer for all the duelists here. Especially from you my adoring fans, I want you to cheer for them like you would me, maybe even more!"
Stepping up to the plate as he worked the crowd a bit more, he activated his duel disk, before giving a theatrical bow towards his opponent. "Lets have a splendid match shall we? A grand clashing duet awaits its first note." He cleared his throat. "Scuse me, I might be getting a bit too much into it. Let's have fun, yeah?" He gave an earnest smile at this last remark, clearly being sincere.

Jason Vs. Timothy
Jason smirks. "Why not make it fun while you can, eh?"
His grin widens as the coin marks him as first.
"Looks like I'm up! And I've got a good starter too! I'll start by setting a monster and two facedown cards!"
He nods as the cards appear briefly in front of him before becoming transparent.
"I'll end my turn with that."
Yuria Vs Bobby
Bobby Vulcan had dark skin and short but curly hair. He was wearing a green t-shirt and had a pair of headphones around his neck, seemingly connected to a phone or similar object in his pocket. He seemed to be only slightly older then Yuria.
"So, you're Mrs. Mariana?" He remarked as he took out his duel disk, "I saw a replay of your match yesterday!"
His duel disk powered on.
"You ready?"
The virtual coin flipped, facing Bobby and indicating that he would take the first turn.
Wait what?

The stranger remains stoic...
“...pfft-“
For about five seconds.
“Heh...good one.”
