Ah, if only all people were like that... It'd make this a much easier task. <br> Well, I'm afraid I must bid you adieu. Places to be, and all that. <br> Squadala, I am off! <br> <br> *Jin snaps his fingers, and a carpet appears beneath him. It slowly rises, before flying off into the distance.* <br> <br> OOC: I'm out for the night, please feel free to continue signing up. I'll be back in like 9-10 hours.

*Jin bows as Gamma approaches him.* <br> <br> If it's within my power, I shall indeed grant it. <br> Things outside my power are erasing deities, pure creation, and alteration of one's soul. Oh, and otherwise affecting other's plots without the creator's consent. <br> <br> *He winks.* <br> <br> Those are the things I cannot do. My apologies if that conflicts with your reasoning for entering.

*Jin's face sours a bit as he sees Lux, before returning to his regular joyful expression.* <br> <br> Excellent! I do hope all my combatants are as confident as you are! <br> <br> OOC: Something I forgot to mention. I technically don't disallow entrances of multiple accounts per 1 user, just please don't go overboard. Fighting with yourself, or god forbid fighting AGAINST yourself is tough to deal with.

OCC: Appreciate the bumps.

*Once all the combatants have entered the chambers, the doors behind them vanish, leaving them alone in the metalic box of a room. As if on cue, the walls begin to slide down, or rather the floor begins to rise, and the ceiling opens up, revealing the large blank arena to them. At the center, Jin stands on a small platform.* Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Tournament of Desires' first match! Now, you may see a blank slate of an arena infront of you. Well, that shall be no longer! I present to you... THE WATERFALLS OF STEEL! *With a snap of his finger, a large tower begins to climb up from beneath him, gradually getting wider as it goes up, before ultimately stopping high into the air. As this happens, the ground begins to shift, creating large depressions in the arena. From the top of the tower, a large burst of molten metal sprays out, and it begins flowing down the side of the tower, before reaching the depressions, where it begins to flow like water through them The rivers of molten metal reach across the entire arena, but a clear path stretches between the two teams.* This is our first arena! Alright, combatants! On your marks... get ready..! IT'S FIGHT TIME! *A gong sounds throughout the arena, and loud cheering begins to rumble the colosseum. Alright players, get going!*

ATTENTION. DUE TO UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE FOLLOWING COMBATANTS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THIS MATCH: ALICE, MALLORYN. THE FOLLOWING COMBATANTS WILL BE SUBSTITUTED: GAMMA, DANTE. PLEASE PROCEED TO THE WAITING CHAMBERS!

OOC: Hope you know Lux already had a palace. So... yeah. Kinda not possible.

OOC: I 100% do not mind spectators. I just find it funny, since Lux had a palace. Anyone watching is free to post any comments, so long as they don't derail the thread or anything.

*As the floor rises and the ceiling opens, the landscape before the combatants and spectators quickly changes to a large cement structure resting between the 2 groups. As it rises, rocky terrain begins to form around it, as well as a small channel perpendicular to the structure. Clear blue water begins to gush out of the structure, as it become derelict, showing signs of clear wear as if it'd been sitting there for years. On either side of this river, wires stretch across the sky, reaching from the broken building to the void beyond the end of the channel. From a platform above the rushing water, Jin speaks.* Hello and welcome to the first round of the Tournament of Desires! This arena is specially made to suit our combatants, and has a special rule! If you happen to wind up in the rapids gushing from the building, and end up flowing all the way to the end, you're out! Anyone who happens to face the torrent of these rapids shall be removed from the game! Oh, and do be careful around the building you're standing on, it's quite... unstable. *A gong sounds across the arena, and the tension builds. Who will strike first! Alright players. Ready, steady, FIGHT!*

*As the building is hit by Ene, the entire structure collapses, leaving the combatants falling. On the floor below, they find themselves knee deep in water, with the rubble of the floor above being usable as platforms to stay dry.*
