<b>Re: "The World" (OPEN, accepting 2 more)</b><br/><br/>((OOC: Wow, I missed alot.  At least not a whole lot of time passed in the actual timeline))<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"Hey, lookit this!"</span>Rin squealed,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"there's some pretty strong people in the next round.  We've gotta stick around.  Hey, I even wanted to face that guy!"</span>Rin was all but able to contain her glee as she scanned the list of combatants in the next round of matches.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#408000">"Okay,"</span>Riku grumbled,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#408000">"but afterwards I think I'll have to log off.  I've been putting of cleaning out my car, and now I think the pile of burger boxes in the back has gained sentience."</span><br/><br/>A short while and a quick registration later, Rin and Riku found themselves both standing back in the Arena, watching as the announcer introduced their opponents.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#408000">"Hey Rin, ever think about filling out the team.  I was considering recruiting a Wavemaster.  We have attacks down and can handle just about anything, but its always a pain to hunt down those ranged fighters like Steam Gunners and the Wavemasters themselves."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"Meh, maybe,"</span>Rin chuckled,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"but then do you really wanna have someone else have to deal with me?"</span>A mischievous grin crossed her face as she pulled out her scythe, twirling it in place while the announcer continued his monologue.  In seconds they would be transported into the actual battleground area of the arena, and she always liked to have her weapon in hand, in not necessarily ready.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#408000">"Hmm,"</span>Riku pondered,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#408000">"you're right."</span><br/><br/>Rin laughed as the teleported, landing on their designated side of the field.  She looked up to scan the crowd, feeling a content sigh as the crowd they drew.  She knew they weren't<i>all</i>there to see her, but she liked thinking it sometimes.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"Hey, I think that guy is staring right at me!"</span>she gasped, pointing into the stands.<br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#408000">"Who?"</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"That guy.  The one with the beast twin-blade next to him."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#408000">"That only narrows it down to a few dozen.  Now focus, the match is starting."</span><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"Oh right,"</span>Rin chuckled as she readied her scythe,<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"let's get this party started!"</span>She scanned the enemy team quickly, this time actually studying them.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000"><i>Two Adept Rogue twin-blades and a Blade Brandier?!  This'll be easy!</i></span>
