WAOA Arena

"I would like that, sir. It's not every day one is presented to speak with a person from the past." Erica answered Drayven as she retrieved her notebook from her satchel and began writing in a blank page with the piece of charcoal. "I am Erica. Might I ask your name?"
[hr]
Seeing no sparks coming from Rex's hand, Greed took it as an indicator that the punch wasn't aided by electricity this time, and thus made no attempts to evade the punch. Once the punch connected, the force of it send Greed reeling back a few steps, yet despite of this, he didn't seem to register being hit. "You sure are stubborn!" Swiftly closing the distance between himself and Rex, Greed grabbed Rex arm and attempted to fling him up and slam into the ground. If successful, it would form another dent in the metal floor.

"Well met, Erica. I am Lord Drayven Lif Ame, former general of the Aldmeri army and master of House Life Ame, at your service." Having introduced himself, Drayven bowed low to Erica.

 

[DotSlash]

Rex was taken up and slammed into the ground, bouncing off the floor as his body slammed into the ground. His body fell still for a moment before he managed to stand back up, extremely shaky and struggling to make it onto his feet, blood dripping from a good majority of his body.

Carmen looked over toward the monitor seeing this and sighed to herself. [color=bb0066] He's done already...? [/color]

 

[Chungus]

"Lif Ame?" Erica asked. she was shocked by hearing the name, but not in a negative way. "I wonder how much the people that have gather us here know of us... There are an uncanny number of coincidences."
[hr]
Greed approached Rex as he stood up, but stopped and backed off upon seeing the burners begining to glow. "See ya." With that said, Greed dropped to one knee, closed his eyes, and covered his weakspots with his arms.

The camera's hanging from the ceiling retracted, being covered by a thick glass. After this, the burners fired up, filling the furnace with fire.

 

[Random berk]

"You know the name, eh? I will be very interested to hear what you have to say when we speak again." Drayven replied with a smile. "For now however, I think it would be best to retire for the night. Until we meet again Erica. Farewell."

 

[DotSlash]

As the furnace flamed up, Rex simply let himself flop onto the ground. [color=000066] "Well... I was done anyway..." [/color] The flames arced up around him, but being demonic, he was burned quite a bit, but wasn't completely consumed by it. Regardless, he'd continue to lay on the floor just looking at the Arena's ceiling, some of his skin being turned as black as his blood due to the burns.

 

[Chungus]

"Goodnight to you then, Lord Lif Ame." Erica said as she stood up and bowed.
[hr]
After 25 seconds, the flames dispersed. The glass pannels that had been covering the camera's, slid back, and the camera's were lowered again. Greed was sitting in the same positioned he as before, the front of him being entirely blackened. After a few more seconds, he took a deep breath, having held it to avoid fulling his lungs with fire. A few more seconds of that, and I would've been cooked from the inside-out. He stood up and opened his eyes, seeing that Rex hadn't been incinirated. "What the hell?" Greed approached Rex. "What the hell are you?" he asked with a raised hairless eyebrow. "Besides beaten, that is."

 

[DotSlash]

Rex smirked, wincing a bit at the pain of speaking. [color=000066] "My... little... secret... And I'll tell you now... it... ain't... the pen... dant..." [/color]

Carmen was watching the screen, seeing Greed standing over Rex, she nodded a small bit before going back to the bar to get a drink. [color=bb0066] He wasn't born a demon... so being fire-proof is impossible for him. [/color]

 

[Random berk]

Drayven nodded to Erica and to Carmen, before turning and leaving the room.

 

[Chungus]

Greed was silent for a moment before shrugging. "That's fine by me. Either way, that pendant's mine now." After placing his the balls of his feet on Rex's wrists to pin Rex down, Greed bended over and reached into the spot where Rex had tucked the pendant.
[hr]
After Drayven left the lounge, Erica sat back down on the stool and looked towards the screen, frowning at the sight. "First that girl, now this. Are these battles always so needlessly brutal?" she asked Carmen.

 

[DotSlash]

The necklaces's chain and pendant were burnt due to the furnace's flames.. Clothes are kinda bad at, y'know, protecting against flames. Also, Rex had no shirt, since that shit burned off, but his pants seemed to be fine. He didn't attempt to struggle at all as Greed took it from his neck. [color=000066] ...Still got the memories, I guess... [/color]

[hr]

Carmen shook her head. [color=bb0066] "No, the last fight that the boy with the headphones was in was against a rather sweet farm girl. He couldn't bring himself to actually hurt her, so he ended up losing there as well. I also fought thw same girl in more of a friendly match before that. ...I actually haven't killed anyone recently... and I'm the second ranked.... That should say something. As long as it's entertainment, it seems the arena doesn't care what kind of match is shown." [/color]

 

[Chungus]

OoC @Dot: I chuckled at that. :3
Also, this was a good fight, me thinks. Enjoyable.

The victor is: Greed the Avaricious!​

After the anouncement was heard, the arena setting returned to normal, the door opening.

Greed stepped away from Rex as he held the pendant up and inspected it. It's still intact. Sort of. Pretty sure the vallue has dropped to zero now though... Lame. Having gotten what he came for, Greed left the arena, and after retrieving his belongings from the locker, returned to his suite.
[hr]
"I see... I am relieved to hear this." Erica remarked as she looked away from the screen and turned around, begining to write in her notebook again, making a note to avoid accepting going into battle with the Meta and Greed, writing down what they looked like. When done, Erica looked up to Carmen. "Hmm... Did we ever finish that conversation before being so rudely interupted yesterday? I can't recall if we did."

 

[DotSlash]

@Nail: Yay! I had fun with that too.

Since he wasn't dead, the medics did medic things and Rex was all shirtless and abs out and shit as he walked back in. He instinctively tried to stick his hands into his hoodie pockets, but it burned off so... he sighed as he shoved his hands awkwardly into his pockets and walked back toward his suite.

[hr]

Carmen nodded toward Erica before putting a hand to her chin. [color=bb0066] "Hmmm.... I don't think we did... but what were we speaking about? The fiasco with that man's... clones made me forget..." [/color]

 

[Chungus]

Entering his suite, Greed stored the pendant in his safe, then reverted his skin back to normal and went to take a shower.
[hr]
"I can't remember what we spoke of either. My memory is unreliable at best."

 

[DotSlash]

Rex flopped onto his bed and fell asleep, but making sure that there was a spare hoodie in the closet beforehand. [color=000066] Yeeee.... [/color]

[hr]

Carmen continued to think before snapping her fingers, due to recollection. [color=bb0066] "Ah. We were speaking of humans enjoying violence... which is why we're here." [/color]

 

[Chungus]

After hearing Carmen mentioned what the topic of conversation was, Erica tapped her forehead with her right index as she tried to remember where exactly the conversation had been left. "Ah, yes... Far too much enjoyment is taken from inflicting harm upon one another. Although this is hardly a trait restricted to humans alone.""

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen nodded a bit as she took a drink. [color=bb0066] "True, but the thing about humans I don't understand is that they always say that they don't enjoy watching violence when asked, and yet whenever something like that happens, they're looking toward it wide-eyed like the rest of us. Why deny something you can't help?" [/color]

 

[Chungus]

"That is quite a big generalisation. A few might be like this, but not all. I can assure you that I most certainly find no enjoyment in inflicting harm on another being, nor seeing it inflicted." Erica remarked, then paused. "To answer your question, however, some might deny it because that is expected of them. But again, not all are the same. I don't doubt those that find this level of brutality amusing wouldn't hesitate a moment to admit they enjoy it."

 

[DotSlash]

[color=bb0066] Is that really so or are you merely saying that? "I see. My apologies for assuming things about you then, dear. ...I'm not all that well versed on how you humans work. I've only been introduced to your... this realm recently. And honestly, I've only met humans of the latter kind." [/color] Carmen replied as she sipped her drink.

 

[Chungus]

"From your conversation with Lord Lif Ame, I picked up that you hail from Hell. And, if memory serves, that is a place where those that has lives less-then virtuous lives go after they pass on. So, this is to be expected." Erica answer, then moved some saliva around in her mouth, it being too dry for her liking. She stood up and walked behind the bar counter to see if there was anything other then alcohol to drink. "Am I wrong in assuming this?"
