[quote=Seleth Thenri][color=0076a3]"Alicia...Mira. Instead of being here, shouldn't you be training for your own matches? But no, you're not interrupting anything. I won spectacularly as expected. Raviel was no match for me, of course."[/color][/quote]

"[color=darksalmon]Oh? You look a little tired and roughed up though, Seleth.[/color]" Mira remarked, unamused at the blatant boast. "[color=darksalmon]Anyway, don't worry about us. We've trained all that we can. All we can do now for our next matches is to do our best and pray to the Twins for luck.[/color]"

"[color=red]Or we can take some drugs to enhance our abilities![/color]" Alicia jested.

"[color=darksalmon]A tasteless joke, Alicia.[/color]" Mira was even more unamused. "[color=darksalmon]Many people fall for its benefits but it is a deception. In exchange for power, magic-enhancing drugs usually sap its users strength and leaving them unable to fight in the long-term. And don't get me started when people overdose.[/color]"

[quote=Raviel Husk][color=a0410d]"How about you guys? I trust you guys won?"[/color][/quote]

"[color=red]Yeah! We won our matches with flying colors! I used that correctly, right?[/color]" Alicia replied. 

"[color=red]We're actually here to watch you guys fight then invite you to some lunch. I guess we can skip to the latter part now. So! Do you guys want to eat with us?[/color]" Alicia invited [u]Seleth[/u] and [u]Raviel[/u]. "[color=red]Or will you two be off on a date somewhere?[/color]" The girl attempted to tease the Dark Elf and the Beastkin.

"[color=darksalmon]Knowing these two, them being an item is highly unlikely.[/color]" Mira then smiled slyly. "[color=darksalmon]Unlike you and Varjan.[/color]"

"[color=red]Hey no! Varjan and I aren't an item![/color]" Alicia denied. Her face blushing while Mira laughed. "[color=red]Stop laughing![/color]"

[quote=Lumina Lusteria]"Lumina Lusteria. In my homeland, I hold the title of 'the Lustrous'. The seers of my homeland have sent me here on a mission. They have foreseen a terrible event in a far off land, one that inspired them with great fear. I have come here in search of the source of those fears, in hopes that I might allay them. Tell me, have the been any... omens, of late?"[/quote]

Athos was momentarily shocked, horrified, for a brief moment before replying. "[color=darkslateblue]N-No, Miss Lusteria. We have not... divined or... sensed any grim omens about the future.[/color]" The Court Mage replied, composing himself. "[color=darkslateblue]P-Perhaps the source of your people's fears are... are somewhere else? There are more lands beyond Razelia, you know? Ortus is one.[/color]" Athos added.

[quote=Faye Nisval][color=aba000]"Er, what now?"[/color][/quote]

"[color=darkslateblue]Ah, yes. For our next course of action...[/color]" Athos cleared his throat, relieved that the subject of the conversation had returned to the investigation. "[color=darkslateblue]We have two choices. We may divide our manpower but I do not recommend that action.[/color]"

"[color=darkslateblue]Since we have gathered sufficient evidence, we can question Sir Juan de la Cruz about the matter.[/color]" Athos presented the first choice. "[color=darkslateblue]We can probe him and, perhaps, get some important information regarding this operation. He does not strike me to be a loyal minion to this so no need to get rough with him.[/color]"

"[color=darkslateblue]Or, we can pinpoint another warehouse and extract a more... direct accomplice to this operation.[/color]" Athos presented the second choice. "[color=darkslateblue]Of course, if we do manage to catch one, no doubt that his or her lips would be sealed more tightly. So, there are those things to consider.[/color]" The Court Mage explained.

"[color=darkslateblue]Sir Tibrus is right. This may be larger than we think.[/color]"
