*cuddles the Mithera* o 3o

Hmmm... Nero is a shady mofo. But then again, we already knew that.

Trinity Stratos

Trinity watched with a certain solemn reservation, as the day's contestants went through their trials and tribulations. She frowned, thoughtful, reflecting inwardly as her comrades faced their fears. Fear, huh? Rose and her mother, that one there and her past... Jack, was it? She considered herself. It wasn't fair that these eight had to face their fears alone, for everyone to see. Maybe it wouldn't help them directly, but it was the thought that counts, right?

So she reflected, leaping up to the ledge next to Jamie and the rest of the guild's seating to sit. Her fear... she's felt it gnawing at the edge of mind in the past. What if her father was dead? And she'd been searching for naught? It was a daunting thought, but-

Just then, she saw Mithera alight to Master Jamie's shoulder. She gasps, a smile spreading across her lips. "Aaah~, so cute!" She steps in close to Jamie's side, holding her hand up for Mithera to smell before she'd go to pet the small creature. "Hello~, aren't you adorable?"

She pet Mithera for a few moments, if allowed, before her eyes turned back to the challenge. Her eyes were drawn to Jack's, studying the woman's fight as it came to a close. "There are certainly a few..."

Ryan Kregor & "Kracko" Niles

Ryan considered how he should phrase the rest of that thought, "... interesting people in this tournament." He shoves the final bite of his meal into his mouth, resigned to not being able to catch that girl on the screen again. However, it then showed Phoenix Wing B, just for a moment for Damian's victory. "There. Petting the cute thing." Ryan pointed the girl out, and Kracko turned to spot her.

"White hair?"

"Yeah." Ryan finished his beer and leaned back in his seat. Maybe he should get dessert for the two of them? They had more work ahead of them, and important research to conduct...

Jasmine from Black Forge Monthly

Fears? What did fears have to do with weapons or forges? Or any of this, for that matter? Sure, this was a big event, but she just didn't understand what her boss was thinking, sending a reporter from a weapons and smithing magazine to a Magic festival. She'd have nothing to report on! She got a great seat, too... it'd be a waste to dip out. An insult to her boss, even! She couldn't do thaaaat. And waste his money as salt in the wound.

So she watched. It was really quite moving, if a little... uncomfortable... to watch these individuals overcome their fears. She wished she wished she had time to prepare for something so voyeuristic, but there it was. That assassin woman - or the woman that was once an assassin - had an interesting fight. What was that she was fighting with? And being attacked by? Daggers made from the mist? How interesting... she wondered how the edge was formed.

And then, and then! The fight after everyone cleared the round! Damian from Phoenix Wind and Hyun from Frenzy Plant. They were going to face off, and both were sword fighters? When she realized that, she saw what her boss was thinking. Magic weapons! She got poised to write, watching the fight closely. As the fight carried on, after taking notes of both combatants fighting and weapons, she comes to a realization. Neither were using magic. Though their weapons were impressive, were they not supposed to be magical? The fight intensifies, and her concerns are dashed as she realizes these two don't need magic to show their weapons as impressive.

She would have plenty to report on.

Well, they're basically Jason, so I don't think it's warranted. Not that Jason isn't COOOOOOOOOL, but... he's not important. x:

Trinity Stratos

"Wh-hoa, these games are gonna be intense, huh?" Trinity was thankful she didn't have to go through this particular ordeal, as well, though she also felt bad for the people chosen to go. What a rough first day; was it going to be this insidious the whole way through? "Good luck, Rose, Lazarus. Don't let it ruffle your feathers, it's just a bit of tough Love." She gives the woman a thumbs up with a smile, doing her best to inspire confidence.

Ryan Kregor & "Kracko" Niles

The shady businessman and his assistant, Sunshine, had taken a stop at a bar in the city. They'd finished their business early and thought they should take their time heading back, what with the games in town and all. They should stop and enjoy the festivities!

It was Kracko's idea, of course, and Ryan decided that it might be better, to blend in a little bit. Who wouldn't stop and enjoy the festivities before leaving? So they went to a local tavern, which just so happened to be showing a live feed of the tournament. Ryan was enjoying a beer and a meal when he saw a particular someone on the TV. He spit his current mouthful of beer out on his unfortunate partner, falling into a coughing fit as he fought to recover his breath. The young lady gave a small shout of protest and bemoaned her companion before she seemed to focus inwardly. She buzzes with electricity, the moisture gathered on her evaporating.

"Sorry, Kracko - cough, cough - I just saw somebody familiar on the screen. Maybe they'll show her again..."

"Someone you know?" The young lady sitting across from the man in the suit studied him for a moment before turning to gaze at the TV with him. If it made Ryan slip, it must be big.

"Aah... not really. A certain someone might be happy to see her again, though..."

"A reunion? How exciting!"

"Somethin' like that." Ryan began to eat in earnest. He had a lead to follow.

Mysterious Swordsman Regan Hiryuu

The cloaked young woman had made her way into the city by nightfall, and found herself with dinner from a generous local family. She'd caught their cat for them and calmed the creature, when it had run away. They offered her a place for the night, food in her stomach, and a way to watch the games.

She woke in the morning to the echos of the morning games announcement. When she rose, the young child of the house was already awake, watching the games with an intense eagerness. "Excited to watch, are you? Magic is a fantastic thing, after all." Regan sat with the boy in front of the screen, watching. One particular participant caught her eye, a little one she hasn't seen in a long time... my, how she's grown.

But... what was she doing out here?
