[h3]Mark Zerrit[/h3] After his initial elation of escaping, Mark had settled into watching the other contestants. They had all been rattled pretty badly, it seemed, and he wondered what magic had been used in the making of this game. In fact, he wondered if the magic games were simply a scam, with some sinister force working in the background, looking for the weaknesses in the powerful guilds for some master plan far in the future. He smirked, and toyed with the idea a bit. Something like that could go two ways, maybe Iron Enigma should try to get buddy-buddy with a 'light guild', as Grant put it. Smirking a little, Mark walked over to the Phoenix Wing members that were still near the exit of the challenge, ignoring his guild-mates calling him over. [color=FFDDD0]"Quite a harrowing experience, wasn't it?"[/color] Mark said, hoping that'd catch their attention. [color=FFDDD0]"I wonder what kind of magic is behind that... Box of sadness. It's certainly unlike anything I've ever seen before."[/color] The mage smirked slightly, and had made a gesture towards the building they had just came out of. His gaze slowly drifted to Mithera, and he had to keep himself from slapping himself in the face at the mistake he just made. He had spontaneously decided on Phoenix Wing because he knew they were fairly strong, and one of the more friendly ones, but they wouldn't be when his guild got around to kidnapping the very member he was now watching sit on another of their member's shoulders. Despite the unfortunate situation however, Mark managed to keep his cool, and force his eyes down to Rose, as well as over to Lazarus, since they were his competitors. [color=FFDDD0]"Not to mention something I wouldn't ever want to experience again."[/color] [@Amaya Tamashii][@Caits][@YipeeXD][@Anyone who was listening in and have two cents to put in] [h3]Mithera -- Grand Magic Games[/h3] Mithera looked up as another mage came over and started talking. As soon as she realized he was an Iron Enigma mage, she forced herself to tune him out, and looked down at Elyse. [b]"It's okay little one."[/b] She would carefully clamber down Jamie's arm and try to snuggle up with the young girl, hoping for it to be a nice distraction. She moved away a little as Rose kissed and hugged the little girl, before Mithera clambered down the rest of the way to snuggle in between Master Jamie and the little girl. [b]"See? Mommy is fine."[/b] Mithera swallowed some, hoping her cuteness and cuddles would win the girl's attention. She didn't have any real idea of what they had experienced, but it was clear it was something profound that they would need to get out of their system, and a little girl being worried needed to be the last of their worries.
