The man swung his cane an arch before holding it in his free hand, giving Juniper a smile. [color=92278f]"It's kosher darling, now..."[/color], he turned to John again, [color=92278f]"you've come at a convenient time for me. One of our favorites had suddenly slipped away from their fight, also a vision user. And visions are oh so rare these days. We were going to delay a little before we could get another vision user to go up against them... But I suppose this can be a great chance at a debut for you"[/color], the way he talked about it he seemed delighted, and why wouldn't he be. Still, it seemed John was going to be allowed to make some money here.

[color=92278f]"Of course, win your fight, you get money for it. That is nothing to say about betting on yourself too... Or others, if you're so inclined"[/color], his smile was a little smarmy, arrogant in a way. He was the showrunner for this place after all, perhaps some form of attachment is what gives him that confidence.

[color=92278f]"Ah, perhaps I should introduce myself first. I have a feeling you'll be around awhile. Name's Charles Blanchet. I and the crowd like you enough, perhaps you can ask for special favors... By that I mean of course, fights. Ones worth far more than the one you're about to go into"[/color], he seemed eager about being asked about such things though the reasons may not be yet clear.

[color=92278f]"Now, Juniper darling, please show him to the backstage and help him get ready"[/color], he waved to have John and Juniper head off. The two would find the back stage was full of medical supplies, food, drink, and even weapons, though most of the time it seems competitors would bring their own anyways, so these various firearms and melee weapons would have a thing layer of dust on them. Still, if John wanted to eat or drink up before going in, she was quite free to do so here. Juniper on the other hand, her role would be to brief him on who his opponent was.
