Watching the awkward display unfold of people stumbling out of the building disoriented, raging, and just generally confused was bread and butter to Abaddon. He was eating it up. He found that these creatures wound in nets of panic and uncertainty was just as amusing as their game promised to be. Even if Veleda would prove to be good at spoiling such a game for him in the long run. He wouldn't focus on the goody two-shoes, and instead he'd focus on the entertainment.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #400000">"So that's why you picked him. He's done this before. And I bet his nobleman act was all for you wasn't it?"</span></span>he asked turning his head towards Veleda.<br/><br/>Cassius tended to be the quieter one of the trio, and he was definitely more observant. Veleda let her emotions get in the way, and Abaddon simply had a superiority complex. The more suffrage something had to go through, the harder he laughed. Quite a peculiar one. He hadn't figured him out yet. Upon seeing the dragon turned human exit, he was shocked to find that one of Veleda's own selected was about to turn on her. Perhaps these games wouldn't last very long after all.<br/><br/><span style="color: #808080"><span style="font-weight: bold">"Seems that one of Veleda's already is getting off to a rough start. You're supposed to pick contestants that you think give you the best chance of winning, not ones that refuse to work for you." </span></span><br/><br/>Veleda rolled her eyes ignoring the taunts of the other two. She hadn't the patience for either of them. Cassius maybe. He was at least tolerable, but definitely not for Abaddon.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"I cannot I am afraid. Not until this trial that these blooming idiots have thought up is over."</span>she answered Gemma.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #400000">"I'll show you who's a blooming idiot!" </span></span>Abaddon started, but was shut up by a....harlequin?<br/><br/>It was then that a third joined the duo of participants and trio of gods outside. He nearly ran over Veleda's angel, and this caused a roaring laughter to erupt from Abaddon. The large, armored, demon-esque god's shoulders shook with his laughter.<br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #400000"><br/>"Who in the name of the void chose a clown?!"</span></span>he managed through his laughter.<br/><br/>Cassius offered a simple smirk.<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #808080">"I did. I thought we could use some comedic relief."</span></span><br/><br/>Veleda completely ignoring the other two and their shenanigans, decided to answer the question posed to them.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">"Your weapons shall be returned to you as soon as everyone is gathered and briefed. But to ensure that you all made it to the initial briefing, Cassius suggested it would be a good idea to confiscate them temporarily."</span>
