Fleo's eyebrows shot up.  [color=C2B280]“Missing!?  Oh, man!  I bet they've been kidnapped to be held ransom.  Or for weird magic experiments.  Or by another guild to sabotage us in the games!  Or...*GASP* eaten alive by giant Crocus sewer rats!  Um, all of which would, you know, be awful.  Who's Mithera again?”[/color]  She wasn't quite sure if Amaya was paying attention at this point -she herself certainly wasn't- but still, despite her goofy optimism it was quite the cause for alarm.  Then again, magicians went on personal quests all the time.  Vendettas, funerals, weddings, very important birthdays...all could demand someone's presence faster than they could notify the guild master.  [color=C2B280]”I guess we might as well go to the arena.  There's this thing, I want to do, see...”[/color] as the guild began to move, Fleo began to explain.

Mission success!  And, Fleo had to admit, the view from up here really was marvelous.  Using enormous pillars of dust and her innate hops, she'd carved her own route up to the arena and found a nice, solitary perch to watch the action unfold from.  Whether or not Amaya had accepted her invitation to join her up here ([color=C2B280]”The fresh air might do you some good!”[/color]), Fleo knew she was in for quite a treat.  Plus, she wasn't so high that hearing the announcer or contestants via giant speakers would be improbable.  With the revelation that today's group challenge would be a maze, all the dusty woman had to do was to flip one-eighty degrees and she'd be looking out over the vast city.  [color=C2B280]”A maze, eh?  It sounds boring, but knowing these wackos, they'll be sure to make it interesting!”[/color]

On the way from the park to the Doma Flau, Xyster found herself strolling alongside the familiar, gaunt face of Joakim Fortinbras and two of the guild's newer arrivals: Gabriel and Enma.  Always feeling chummy, she threw an arm around both of their shoulders, holding her head by the ribbons in the hand she'd placed on Gabriel.  The Dullahan's unnerving, bonelike face lay negligently on Gabriel's chest, and her brilliant but ghoulish green eyes were only a couple of inches away from the Zodiac Summoner's mouth.  [color=9ACD32]”I've got a hunch that today's gonna be a really exciting one!  We didn't do too well yesterday...second-to-last kinda sucks, actually.  With Hyun feeling all better though, we're more focused than ever!  I really hope I get to jump in today, I'm just itching to give someone a good spook.  A good show in the grab-bag round, a win in the duels, and we'll back right up at the top, babeeee!  Hah hah hah, can't you wait?”[/color]  Almost pulling her companions along, the inhuman was one of the first to enter the arena, such was her hype.

As such, her spirit fell faster than a chunk of depleted uranium when the flamboyant announcer Sheldon informer her that she'd be getting her wish...by running through a maze.  [color=9ACD32]”Really?  Really?”[/color] she questioned Gabriel, Enma, and a sighing Joakim, before throwing her head into the air in bafflement.  She didn't seem to concerned about catching it again; she simply went on complaining.  [color=9ACD32]”I can't scare a maze, I can't learn anything groovy about humanity from it.  What a rip!  At least that Nash guy gets a mongo whale to carry him around.  I won't even be able to use my speed-ups unless I run into someone.”[/color]

The next instant, her mood changed completely.  Wherever her head had landed or been caught, it broke out into an unnaturally wide and jagged-toothed smile.  [color=9ACD32]”Whatever.  I'm gonna do us proud, no matter how lame the game.  Bring it on, Games!  I've got game too!”[/color]
