[b][u]Thaum: Bugtanical Gardens[/u] (Group A)[/b]

[i]“B-b-b-but what am I supposed to do?!” Don fretted, jumping forward and latching onto Xandra with his body as one hand tightly gripped Trixie’s wrist. “Oh, Metal Sis!! Little Missy! Save meeee!!”[/i]

"Superbro? You okay? Bugs aren't [i]that[/i] icky. Unless... Are bugs your big weakness? ... Like the thing that makes you lose your power!?" Trixie thrust her hands over her mouth, though Dylan stepped in to calm Don before the prankster could get carried away with her imagination.

She watched Xandra with her full attention as the metallurgist suggested where they should meetup. Trixie returned a giggling salute in return. "Ay-ay, capitan!" As serious as this young lady sounded half the time, the prankster thought her to be very fun to work alongside.

Once Thomas departed after bidding them well-wishes, Trixie stepped up in and turned around to face everyone in her own group. Net clutched in both hands, the girl smiled devilishly at the others. She spoke with the intensity of a wrestling emcee. "You guys ready to kick some bootay!? We gon' storm this garden and take the grand prize! (Without killing anything of course.) My fellow Superheroes, are you ready to ruuuumbleeeeee!?"

[u][b]Thaum: Colosseum[/u] (Group B)[/b]

"Delilah," Amy muttered to herself as Lute explained his whole music shpiel to Syed and Selan. He mentions the pronouns "she" and "we," but there was no one else around. This wasn't... his imaginary friend or anything, was it? It already took Amy a couple of months to ween Trixie out of that state. [i]Don't tell me this kid's the same...[/i]

Soon enough the crew arrived at their destination: the Colosseum. Amy merely stood in silence with a blank expression as a man named Jeff hurled insults at her crew. She wasn't much in a position to talk, considering her complete lack of muscles and inability to fight, though Moira quickly got her own status recognized. Once Aria expressed interest in joining, Lute was quick to nearly beg her reconsideration. Again Amy was not quite sure how to react to this loon of a man so she stared in judgmental silence. Though the shy smile he gave her was cute.

A lady named Robin then came by to explain the details behind their fight. Amy shuddered mildly when she mentioned fighting in cages - what were they, dogs? Sure, not [i]those[/i] kinds of cages but... having never been around or seeing anything at all like this phenomena, there wasn't much else to think of it. 

"Today's just full of surprises..."

Plus there was no magic allowed - so what would that mean for three of the five fighters already? Well, surely Aria would do enough to distract the other combatants, even without her illusions, so there was that bonus. But that definitely made the two frailer women of the team completely useless. Selan realized this quickly enough, and the second Robin mentioned taking seats to view the show versus partake in it, the dancer jumped in to thank her and left alongside Amy, who bid them all a solid good luck as well.

Amy could almost feel herself looking forward to the upcoming fights, at least until they realized how incredibly packed the seats were. The cleric took more than just a few seconds to get settled properly in her own seat. "Oh Gods, this seat is warm...! Gods!"
