*a voice comes out of the shadows* Though I am new to this world, I could not miss an opportunity to prove myself as a great warrior here. I can only learn by studying my opponents moves.: ... *shoots a bolt of lightning to light up that corner* *when it's lit up, somebody can be seen vanishing, but it's too quick to see who* : Aw man. Well, anyway, I lost my match, but it was fun. I'm looking forward to seeing the other matches. *a presence is able to be felt* Like the first wwarrior to comment from the shadowws, I am also neww and wwish to provve myself. Howwevver, there is no learning invvolvved. I wwill crush my opponents to showw the strength of my wworld.

Because of schedules (my own included, I have tests and things to work on in the next few days), there will be a break in the tournament for a few days. In the meantime, remember the reporter? Well...
{Outside the Character Arena, evening} Reporter: Welcome, everyone, to the Tournament's big joint interview of all the Characters participating! 8D This is a special episode while we wait for the next epic duel to happen! Tell us, characters, how are you feeling about the tournament and the duels you've been in or will be in? ((This is just a derp thing to fill time with and for hints to be dropped about things like mystery characters. If you want to participate and have one of the characters you entered answer some questions, even if they lost already, go ahead.)) i1139.photobucket.com/albums/n557/Icon109/NTWF Smileys/Misc/Raptor.gif[/img] *coughs* ... *knocks over a trash can*

Tell us, characters, how are you feeling about the tournament and the duels you've been in or will be in? I think this is a wonderful opportunity to have some fun. The Arena hasn't been used publicly much in a while, though I know Felix and Piers practice weekly. My first match was fun, though it definitely did not go as I expected. While I look forward to the second match, I hope it won't get to be too much. I don't want Kristoph stressing out to the point of choking the air with oppressive Dark aura when watching.

Rahu: Both me and my sister are looking forward to our matches, and wish the best of luck to our competitors. Maria: We haven't had much experience in... 'organized' combat, so this should be interesting~ *smiles at the camera*
Sage: ... *tinkering with their arms, away from the crowd*

Tell us, characters, how are you feeling about the tournament and the duels you've been in or will be in? Starla: I'm feeling pretty good about it. This tournament felt like a good chance to work on my swordplay without me being in a real battle. ...But I still don't know why I have to face a raptor. ; -- Kalina: Things will go well, I'm sure of it. I'm not just a General; I have been practiced in many skills that will help me in this tournament. As for why I'm participating, being in a fight is something that I've missed, but haven't really had the luxury of having one in a long time; I've been too busy commanding my army. My husband preferred not to participate, though. That's alright; that's just the way he is. But he'll be watching.-- Reina: ...Do any of these toads really have a chance against a trained murderer? *Scoffs.* Even if they did, it's not like I'll just let them win. I am looking forward to fighting Starla, though. She better win enough matches so I can face her myself.

I'm feeling ready for my next match. It was a pretty close fight against Patton, so I'm still a bit weary. *just grins* Caslon: I am anxious about my upcoming fight, I hear I've been matched against a General... I'm just a rookie fighter, and I'm participating because I want to prove to... um, people who won't let me fight, that I can. If I can win a few rounds, I'm sure I'll be allowed to finally have some real training. Rockwell: The tournament looked like a good opportunity to learn and have some fun. I wish luck to my opponent. Chiller: To all my future prey: Prepare to be annihilated. Reporter: *nods at Caslon* I admire your determination and reasoning for joining! 8D Where are you from, by the way? *She coughs* Reporter: ... And that is certainly a good tournament attitude, Chiller! 8D; What do you think of your opponent? I think this is a wonderful opportunity to have some fun. The Arena hasn't been used publicly much in a while, though I know Felix and Piers practice weekly. My first match was fun, though it definitely did not go as I expected. While I look forward to the second match, I hope it won't get to be too much. I don't want Kristoph stressing out to the point of choking the air with oppressive Dark aura when watching. Reporter: I'm sure all the viewers of Taco Today enjoyed how spectacular you were in your duel! 8D Do you have any tricks up your sleeve for your second round? [/img] *coughs* ... *knocks over a trash can*[/quote] Reporter: He's talking trash, everyone! This wild child is looking unpredictable! 8O You viewers placing your bets? Who knows what this raptor could do? *a teddy bear falls near the Temporal Velociraptor* *a voice comes out of the shadows* Though I am new to this world, I could not miss an opportunity to prove myself as a great warrior here. I can only learn by studying my opponents moves.: ... *shoots a bolt of lightning to light up that corner* *when it's lit up, somebody can be seen vanishing, but it's too quick to see who* : Aw man.

Reporter: *nods at Jinzo* You certainly are being a good sport about it! 8D I heard that you were a "Battledome Pet"? *she looks over at the source of the voice* Reporter: Oh my, the lisp is here for revenge! 8O Sounds like a superhero, folks. What's your power? Starla: I'm feeling pretty good about it. This tournament felt like a good chance to work on my swordplay without me being in a real battle. ...But I still don't know why I have to face a raptor. ; -- Kalina: Things will go well, I'm sure of it.

Reporter: *to Starla* But facing a Raptor just makes it that much unpredictable and fun! 8D You can test your fighting skills in ways you thought you never would, right? Reporter: *grins* I see, General Kalina. You're being matched up against a self-described 'rookie fighter'- what do you think? Reporter: ... *inches chair away from Reina* 8D .... 8D *retains facial expression* ... ... Do you like ice cream, Reina? Rahu: Both me and my sister are looking forward to our matches, and wish the best of luck to our competitors. Maria: We haven't had much experience in... 'organized' combat, so this should be interesting~ *smiles at the camera* Sage: ... *tinkering with their arms, away from the crowd* Reporter: You two are related, are you? Do you share abilities at all? And to Maria, dear, are you at all nervous for your first duel? 8O

Maria: 'Nervous'? No, no... Perhaps a little anxious, but that is all. I'm truly curious as to my opponent's abilities, however. But that will be found out in due time, right? *laughs lightly* (( Should we be worrying about where each duel will take place? Or will that be mostly 'spur-of-the-moment'? ))

I don't need to. I have no opponents. Only prey.

((I added a link to the start of the tournament to the front page. I may add links to fights later, but not before school ends. (I also need to seriously revamp the first post while I'm at it. ^^; Again, later.))) Reporter: *to Starla* But facing a Raptor just makes it that much unpredictable and fun! 8D You can test your fighting skills in ways you thought you never would, right? Reporter: *grins* I see, General Kalina. You're being matched up against a self-described 'rookie fighter'- what do you think? Reporter: ... *inches chair away from Reina* 8D .... 8D *retains facial expression* ... ... Do you like ice cream, Reina? Starla: ...Yes, I guess that's true; it could prepare me for future fights with animals or other creatures. Especially... *She suddenly looks a little uneasy.* ...Particular ones... *She shakes her head.* Sorry, you're right. It's good practice. *She nods without smiling.* Kalina: Am I? I don't know my first opponent. Well, I was expecting someone with more skill, but if she does turn out to be a rookie in the field, I may end up taking it easy on her, just enough so that it doesn't end too soon.Reina: ... ...Sure, I guess. No, I don't want any. Are we done now?

Yes. I do indeed. *Clicks her pincers slightly* A few ideas, actually. Reporter: Is there a reason why you don't fight in your human form? 8O Starla: ...Yes, I guess that's true; it could prepare me for future fights with animals or other creatures. Especially... *She suddenly looks a little uneasy.* ...Particular ones... *She shakes her head.* Sorry, you're right. It's good practice. *She nods without smiling.* Kalina: Am I?

No, I don't want any. Are we done now? Reporter: Hmm, I see... Starla, any chance of offering a bit of insight on that statement? Reporter: We haven't seen your powers or theirs yet! You can always make a match more interesting by choosing an offbeat arena, though. 8D Like you could have a day swimming in the Water Arena! Whatcha think~? Reporter: ... ... You're done if you want to be! *nervous laughter* Caslon: I'm from Rinam, miss. *grins a little* --- Chiller: I haven't looked at the roster. I don't need to. I have no opponents. Only prey. Reporter: That sounds intriguing! What was it like there, Caslon? 8D *she looks at Chiller* Reporter: ... Hm... What would you do if you won, Chiller? Shade: Yes, both myself and Maria are from the Kattsu blood line, and no, our abilities are quite different indeed. *winks his sapphire eye at the camera* I look forward to showing my abilities for all to see! Maria: 'Nervous'? No, no... Perhaps a little anxious, but that is all. I'm truly curious as to my opponent's abilities, however. But that will be found out in due time, right? *laughs lightly* (( Should we be worrying about where each duel will take place? Or will that be mostly 'spur-of-the-moment'? )) Reporter: I look forward to seeing your duel quite a bit, also! What would your thoughts be if you ended up in duel with one another? 8O Just out of dramatic curiosity! ((Just spur of the moment, don't worry about it.))

Reporter: Is there a reason why you don't fight in your human form? 8O … Several, actually. Um… I'm not very comfortable doing so, and I find it too squishy without natural armor.

Reporter: That sounds intriguing! What was it like there, Caslon? 8D *she looks at Chiller* Reporter: ... Hm... What would you do if you won, Chiller? Caslon: Um, well, it's very green! Lots of it is, anyway. There's a huge desert that one of my doors opens to. I, uh, live in an underground city. At least, it used to be a city, it's mostly abandoned now, just me... I fix things up, trying to restore the place. Fixing and building are my specialties. --- Chiller: What do you mean 'if'? And why? Is there some sort of prize for destroying this nest of worthless fleshlings?

I've never had to fight a raptor before. ...But the Arena has healers. I'll be fine. Kalina: I... Yes, I suppose... I'm inclined to do the match on land, but I'll have to think about it. As for my powers, you will see them when it's our turn.Reina: Okay then. *She walks away.* ((Reina's retreat is interruptable if someone still has something to say to her or anything to ask her.))

Reporter: Aw. Cheer up, Starla. You know that you get a free cookie right after you get healed up, right? 8D Reporter: I suppose we will see! On another note, Kalina, how long have you been a General? *She looks a bit relieved that Reina left without killing anyone* Caslon: Um, well, it's very green! Lots of it is, anyway.

How did you make it here? *She looks at Chiller for a short while, silent* Reporter: You, er, realize you're not supposed to kill them, right? ^^;
