Well, since you're all waiting for someone to post, I took the liberty with the opener. :p
Jake just blinked as he looked around.

"Oh-kay, I think I'm going to become a diabetic just by standing here. What kind of a land is this?"

He reached out a felt one of the sugar cane branches, testing its flexibility and strength.

"So, how do we find... erm... what we're looking for?" With the recent attack on the arena, Jake felt it may not be wise to openly mention what it was they're looking for. He looked around in all directions, trying to get a bead on civilization somewhere.
Jake smirked.

"Nah, I don't think it'll be that easy. Still, I'll take you up on that offer sometime."

With that, he gave a friendly salute and walked off to follow the others.
Jake raised an eyebrow at Other-Joshua's... disposition.

"Sheesh, kid, who pissed in your cereal?"

Then again, given that the kid was clearly a Nobody himself, it was obvious he'd be a sourpuss.

Still, he got the story, so no need to ask again. Still, this promised to be an interesting ride, so he had better get ready to go. Besides, it seemed that the tournament was a loss; too much damage had been done to the arena to fix it back up in time. He guessed they were lucky they weren't banned from the area for life.

First things first, though. He turned to Satoko.

"So," he spoke up, "you're Satoko, right? Sorry about the mess. Tournament getting cut short and all. I was going to be your opponent in the first round, but it looks like we're going to have to take a rain check on that one. Maybe we can spar some other time?"
Jake looked at Rose for a bit.

"So he was trying to kill his daughter... over a power rune or something?" he asked Rose. "Yeah, that jackass needs a good-

"Erm, my condolences, ma'am. Is your daughter alright? I think it would be best if you take her home so she can rest. If you need any help, ask for Jake. The name's John Grendell, but my friends call me Jake."
Jake winced.

"She okay? The little girl, that is. How long has it been this way?"

Jake muttered under his breath something to the effect of 'just ain't right'. How does a father try and kill his own daughter, Nobody or not?

He then noticed Thomas' entry.

"Hey Tom," he said. "Yeah, it's been... kind of wrecked. Some jerk formerly known as Lucus, I think he's called Chaos now. We almost had him, but a buddy of his called 'War' bailed him out.

"So yeah, good thing you didn't buy tickets. Or maybe they were worth it, if you enjoy crowd-endangering pyrokinetics. Raised a real storm, that it did.

"So what were you up to?" Jake raised his hands defensively. "Sorry, just trying to make small talk."
Jake blinks as the man teleports away.

"Wait, so his buddy, that girl's father, shows up and tries to kill her, trying to tear through us for stopping him, and then he says 'we're fighting on the same side'?

"Did... did I miss something here?"

Jake shrugs.

"Ah well. Best not to dwell on it right now." He turned to check on the group.

"So, Ascot," he asked the kid. "And you're Joshua, right? Why was he... well, you know what he was trying to do. But really, why?! Doesn't make a damn lick of sense..."
Joshua Tamashii said Yeah. What ability will Jake take?

After this fight? I dunno, I'll have to sit down and think it through a bit. Hopefully, I'll have one ready by the time the next fight comes around.
Jake raised an eyebrow.

"Whatever happened to 'let Serin settle this nicely'?" However, he did give a smirk; he liked this one's spirit. "And let's be honest, given the type of company this guy's keeping, I don't think being nice works here. I mean, his buddy did try to murder your friend, wasn't he?"
Jake continued to hammer away at the adversary when suddenly the axes in his hands vibrated strangely and suddenly yanked him back. Jake struggled to control them again, but had to unsummon them, enabling him to land on the ground. He resummoned his Keyaxes, but by then, he was too far away from Lucus to continue the fight.

"Okay, that was new," Jake muttered, feeling the axes in his hand. He looked at the red-robed mage that had just appeared.

"Great, another clown," he grunted. He should have realized by now that bad guys were like Russian dolls; open one up and another showed up. "You jerks have a union or something?!

"You tell me, buddy. Your twisted comrade attacked us, and tried to kill several people. His former family clearly doesn't want his psychopathic sorry ass back, and his mouth had written a check his ass couldn't cover. So keep your rabid dog on a leash."
