"I'm in as well. I want to see what I can do now that I have a sword!" Rukia said, brandishing the hilt of her blade confidently.<br/><br/>JD nodded, then answered Doce's question with a nod and a statement. "Block D is apparently on a daily random shuffle so as to allow more freedom for the players to decide, so we may never have this chance to chat freely again."<br/><br/>As Jack Spade had his debate with himself, JD stopped and rolled his eyes. "Now I get why I felt like I needed him on my team!" he mumbled. Smirking, he addressed the tournament question. " In about fifteen minutes they will stop asking for participants." He turned toward the sign up booths, then turned back to Jack with an afterthought. "Spontaneous Insanity can be your greatest weapon sometimes." At the looks he got, he shrugged. "Hey, In the Beta I had an Inner Hollow in my head. Don't tell me you were expecting me to<span style="font-style: italic">not</span>understand what he's having to deal with. And if you're still wondering Jack... Yes, she's the real Rukia Kuchiki."<br/><br/>As JD went through the process of entering the tournament, which consisted of entering player character names, not usernames as was to be expected, he heard Zavyr ask if there was a 'Team Name' section. At the signup kiosk, he scrolled through the input fields. "Looks like for Block D since it's random, there isn't a need for that. the entrant standard in this case is to go by colors. and since we arrived at the end of sign ups we're... oh god no!" he froze. Rukia's curiosity got the best of her. "We're what? let me see!" she said, pushing past her scowling friend. She began laughing hysterically when she saw why he was upset. "Pink?!?! That's what your mad about!" she said in between gasps and fits of laughter. When she had calmed down, she remarked, "That's colorist!" while nudging his shoulder.<br/><br/>"It's not what you think! I just hate reaffirming the 'Tough guys wear Pink' shirt logos. It's like saying a 6 year old beating a 23 year old at Call Of Duty is cool!" JD pouted.<br/><br/>"Whoa! issues much?" Rukia joked as they walked into the room that was presented to them. As soon as the doors shut, JD wasted no time in getting down to business.<br/><br/>"Okay, so an NPC vendor addressed me by my character's name in the shop i found. She was from SAO, but the strange thing was, I didn't ask her to speak, which led me to believe that she was AI. However, she said that being an NPC was going to be irrelevant soon. I don't know much more than that, but if she had been AI, she wouldn't have referred to herself as an NPC. I don't know what's going on, but we should probably try to find out."<br/><br/><span style="color: #40FF00">(for the RPers: I left it here to discuss this development.
