The slums are a rundown, old heap of a town tucked deep in the jungles, with townsfolk consisting mostly of poachers, black marketeers, thieves, and fugitives. While the ideal tourist spot, some travel to the Slums to make use of the black markets. (+2 Defense, +2 Speed)

§ Seasonal Tournament: Spring

Postby Kyrit » 04/17/2010 6:18 PM

Ah spring. The birds were chirping, lunaflies fluttering about, flowers were popping up here and there, and the few clouds that speckled the sky provided just enough protection from the harsh sun. All of this could only be viewed before stepping in to the town though, as the once lovely breeze that had been quite enjoyable suddenly only brought the scent of trash wafting to your nose. Here, any flower that grew would likely be trampled on, birds would be eaten by the tougher creatures, and that beautiful Lunaflies would probably have their wings torn off by some little brat.

Probably the only reason that brought you to this dump of a town was the flier that somehow found its way to you. There was supposedly another tournament, though you weren't so sure if you could believe it without seeing it with your own two eyes since it seemed to be in a rather shady place this time compared to the previous tournament. There did seem to be some sort of arena tucked back behind a few buildings though, just as the paper had said. Walking up to the front door, you're stopped by a young woman with vibrant green hair that caught your attention almost instantly. A set of headphones with a mic attached covered her ears, but she could probably hear any questions you might have as well.

Image


The wide smile plastered across her face made her seem trustworthy enough, though it was questionable as to why such a beautiful young woman would work out in the slums. From the two tails flicking back and forth behind her, one could assume she was some species of Kuhna; probably one of the tougher species to be hanging around here.

"Oh! You found one of our fliers? That's awesome! I was hoping I got enough of them out there that people would actually notice. Took me forever to get enough people to join last time I hosted a tournament." Before you knew it she seemed to be rambling off about the past one while dragging you inside. You were eventually led over to a desk that was off to the side of the arena, where a man seemed to be sleeping in a chair with his head down on the table. "Go on, go on. Just sign yourself in. We like to know your name for when we're calling you up for your fight.... What? You don't know how this works. Fine, fine. Just flip a few pages back. The rules are in that book right there, as well as the prizes."

With those words she left you with the sleeping man, probably going to hunt down someone else to drag in to the building since a single fighter didn't make for much of a tournament.

Dyugra made his way through the ugly, ugly part of the town, looking around until he spotted the hidden arena. He might have lost the last tournament, but he was willing to try again. In fact, he had to try again. Hilal had made fun of him endlessly and this could just not stand! He had to do better this time. He just had to. Determined, he signed up.

I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

How do you define someone's worth? The very fact of their existance? The good they do for others? The potential they hold? The things they've lived through?

Or maybe just how much keister they've kicked while they've been here?

Tierra clinked ominously as she strode into the room, ready to sign up. Some people were here for fun and cheeriness! Not her, though. She wore an angry scowl that was all business. Her twin tails lashed dangerously. People scooted out of the way. Were these tournaments just for fun? Maybe. But Tierra needed the gestalt. Time to own some slobs.

And hey. Maybe, just maybe, if she brought home a rare gift, people there would start taking her seriously.

"Let me in," she hissed to the Kuhna. She threw down a wad of papers with her info on them, and said nothing else. She laid sphinxlike in front of a whole row of waiting-room chairs. People who had been planning to sit down ran away skittishly.

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

A battle, hm?
Sageeth strolled into the sign-up area, a smirk on his face. Oh, now this was perfect. Eagerly, the Lucain approached the young woman who seemed to be in charge of these things. He had only found this place because of a flyer tacked up on a wall, and he considered himself lucky.
He needed something like this; something with which to test his skills.
Still smirking, he went right up to the woman and proclaimed, "I'd like to join the tournament, please."
He just hoped he wouldn't end up making a total fool out of himself if the other pets were all stronger. Well, he was a smart fighter, he figured. That ought to count for something.

It was not like Kinasha to be all the way out here, away from her element on the ice.  However, she had decided to try her hands at something else--well, try her luck at something else other than short track.  That was why she was without skates and without helmet; rather, in a simply outfit of an orange and black top with black shorts.

"I heard that there is an, ah... tournament?" she asked, smiling.  "I'd like to enter," she said, smiling slightly as she put down the necessary information.

Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me

Typhoon had never fought before. But she loved to try new things, and seeing as she was a Paragon, she believed that she could be a tough match for anyone. Yes, the Slums did unnerve her a bit...but if it was for something fresh and exciting, she was there. Strolling into the arena, she smiled at the lady and walked over to the desk where the man was sleeping, turning in a sheet of paper:

Name: Typhoon Redstorm
Element: Electricity
Level: 6
Toughness: 11
Exploration: 14
Endurance: 12
Intelligence: 13
Battle Traits: Conductivity, Resistor, Resist Death, Voltage, Great Rend, Winged Warrior

Aurora's eyes blazed with excitement as she slashed her claws at the air. "Oh, this is gonna be SWEET!" she exclaimed, flinging her tails upward in some sort of uppercut. "I've always wanted to be in a real battle!"
"I just hope you won't get too hurt," her owner Zap murmured, scratching her on the head.
"I'll be fine!" she said, ducking away and flexing her claws. "You've seen be fight before!"
"That's true..." Zap said, smiling. Aurora was a decent fighter, but all of these opponents just seemed so... experienced. The two walked up to the reception desk. "I'd like to enter my Borealis Kuhna, Aurora, please." Quickly, she began to fill out the form.

At last! At last. Forza was waiting a chance to flex his muscles. Now, this here tournament would be the perfect place to do so.

The currently human-form werebetta strode into the place. He loathed his human form, but it was necessary to join this thing. He grabbed a form and promptly filled it in:


Name: Forza Del Male
Species: Emperor Werebetta (Custom)
Gender: Male
Level: 8
Posts: 35
Element: Dark
Loyalty: 16
Toughness: 18
Exploration: 16
Endurance: 19
Intelligence: 13
Righteousness: 0
Darkness: 7
Fame: 16
Passive Traits: Expert Swimmer, Fearless, Hulking Brute, Human Form, Malevolence, Spirit Sense
Battle Traits: Arterial Strike, Great Bite, Spectral Strike, Spiked Body, Vorpal Strike

There. It was done. Now, the werebetta would wait, and see how things panned out.

Wow! She had managed to get enough fighters all within one day this time! Last time it took her months and months. Maybe she had better prizes this time? Not to mention there were more fighters of this skill level compared to what she had been asking for before. Ah well, some day she'd be able to see a stronger group of fighters in the arena. For now this small group promised to give her at least some entertainment.

Making her way to the middle of the arena, Khia looked out at the fighters with a wide smile. "Alright! Looks like we're ready to get started already. Man that was pretty fast. I hope the fights aren't just as fast. I mean, who doesn't like a nice, long fight with lots of effort put in to it? My co-worker and I have drawn for who will be fighting who in each of the first four rounds, and it seems as though Thunder's Typhoon and zapdragon555's Aurora will be up first! Please head to the center of the arena and prepare to battle."

Wow, she was up already? That was really fast. Typhoon didn't have much time to take in her surroundings, and now she was called up for battle. She gulped nervously and shook herself loose a bit before stepping into the arena, her eyes widening at the sight. "Wow," she whispered. "This place looks kinda dangerous..." Who would her opponent be? Hopefully they wouldn't be too tough for her first ever battle. Typhoon made her way to the center of the arena and sat down, waiting.

Aurora bounced into the arena, her claws unsheathed and tails stiff. She looked around until she saw her opponent in the middle of the ring. Her jaw dropped a few inches as she stared at the huge Paragon. I'm going up against her?! Aurora thought in dismay, taking the last few steps into the definite center of the arena. She eyed the Paragon nervously; she didn't look too mean, but she sure looked tough. "I'll do my best," Aurora whispered to herself, puffing out her chest.

Aurora flinched when the battle started. I can do this! she thought desperately. Immediately the Kuhna sprang into action, her eyes flashing with excitement as she leaped into the air towards Typhoon's shoulder area. Aurora's outstretched claws glinted, showing her intent to rake them down the thin, black skin that covered the Paragon's webbed wings. "Have a taste of my 'Great Rend!'"

(Not sure if we have to bold the word to use the move or not, so... Yeah~)
