<b>Re: "The World" (OPEN, accepting 3 more)</b><br/><br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ffff00">As Takuya logged on to 'The WORLD' for the first time in a week, due to having been at the ocean for vacation, he noticed that he had a couple notes from a friend. After reading and clearing them, he decided to go watch a couple matches at the Arena, just to see if there was anyone aiming for the Emperor's title. <br/>
<br/>
"I wonder if I should aim for the title some day?" he thought aloud, not noticing a female cat-beast player give him a questioning look. "Nah, I think I'll wait till I'm at least twice my current level before that."<br/>
<br/>
He gated over to Lumina Cloth and started towards the spectators' entrance. He caught the last few moments of the previous match on the replay, and he noted that the pair in the clip had just left the fighters' entrance. He made a mental note to watch their next match closely, since he thought they seemed a bit too familiar as he read their names in the stat box. Before Takuya made it to the entrance, he spotted a familiar face in the crowd and went to his friend.<br/>
<br/>
"Glad you could make it, Tsubaki-Chan" he said. Then he was promptly smacked upside the head by the female twin blade. "OW! What was that for?!"<br/>
<br/>
"I've told you a million times that here I'm not Tsubaki! It's Sakura-Hime!" the raven-haired wolf-girl said. "One of these days I'll just have to fight you in here just to knock it into that hard-ass skull of yours!"<br/>
<br/>
With that, the two gated to the stands and found a front-row seat still open. Takuya hoped that the wolf-girl next to him wouldn't actually go through with her threat. However, he managed to sneak in a kiss before the next match was announced, since Sakura's player was his RL girlfriend. That only earned him a soft blush and a glare from her, since she wasn't used to showing affection in public.<br/>
<br/>
"Th-the next match is starting soon. Who do you think will win it?" Sakura asked him.<br/>
<br/>
"If that Blademaster/Flick Reaper pair from the last match are in it, I think it might be them. I caught the last minute of their previous fight, and that Reaper girl has some serious moves, albeit a bit unfocused." Takuya said, his attitude instantly serious, as he was with all things that involved the Arena.<br/>
<br/>
"What do you mean, 'unfocused'?" <br/>
<br/>
"You'll see once they get in the ring."<br/>
<br/>
Not only had Takuya thought about going after the Title, but he and Tsubaki were planning on starting a Guild soon, one dedicated to helping new players and first time Arena fighters. He leaned against the rail and watched as the commentator for the Arena got into place.</span>
