WAOA Arena

[Random berk]

Ragnar was sitting in his room, praying. Kraken's Tooth lay unsheathed in his lap, a vial of fragrant oil on the bedside table. As he prayed he rubbed the blade of the knife with an oily rag, slowly, almost reverentially. Taking comfort from his supplications to the Emperor, he steeled himself against the unsavoury task ahead.

"Wierd isn't the word I'd use for it." Solaris commented, following after Ness, looking the woman over to see what metal items Ness had on her person as she walked. "I hate this place, I hate the fighting, and I hate the overabundance of psychopaths this place seems to attract. All in all, the sooner I can get out of here, the better..."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Kenna knocked or Ragnar's door, opening it just a crack. "You there?"

 

[Demonjazz]

The giant half orc was sitting at the bar drinking a cup of tea, due to the fact that everything here was made for some half his size, the tea cup was cartoonishly small compared to him. Once he heard Nanami saying how bad alcohol was he said "I must agree mer... Person. I have never saw why someone would partake in a beverage that ruins your internal organs such as your liver"

 

[DotSlash]

Ness sighed a small bit as she continued to walk. [color=666666] "Yes... the faster all of us can get out of here, the better... Even the more mentally unstable of us..." [/color]

The metallic items Solaris would see on Vanessa would be her metal-tipped shoes and the buckle of her belt. Her PDA was in her pocket as usual as the woman strode along, hands in her labcoat pockets.

 

[Random berk]

Ragnar looked up from his knife at the sound.
"Kenna. Enter."

 

[Zepherus14]

Nanami watched Bruce walk off in the utmost confusion, partially because he seemed to think that slop was better than water, and also because he seemed to just be a very strange man.

Nanami somewhat ignored Selim's excited response, mostly due to him literally talking to fast for her to figure out what he was even asking, let alone she had more pressing matters to deal with, such as the giant half orc that managed to apparently sneak up on her. She was honestly more intimidated by Selim than the orc, since she normally fought things far bigger than them on a regular basis. "Wwhoo aarree yyoouu?" She initially replied before after a pause added. "III wwaantt ttooo ggeett bbaackk."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Kenna opened the door, looking around the room. "You ready?"

 

[Demonjazz]

"Ulysses Ezra Thaddeus, A battle Chemist by trade. And from my understanding you can not go back unless you have a dimensional door spell... Would you like some cheese and crackers?" He said offering Nanami a plate of them

 

[Random berk]

"As ready as I am likely to get, yes." Ragnar muttered, rising to his feet and shoving Kraken's Tooth into the sheath on his belt. "Lets get moving then."

 

[Chungus]

"Most of "the more violent ones", as you called them, should go from here straight to jail, as far as I'm concerned... All of them are frightening in their own way." Solaris commented as she walked along Ness. After taking note of the few metalic objects Ness had with her, Solaris looked back straight ahead, shaking her head slightly.
[hr]
As Nanami didn't respond to Selim's various questions, he looked slightly sad for a moment, pouting. This didn't last long, however, as he took note of Ulysses appearing out of nowhere. When this happened, Selim whimpered, and moved behind Nanami, looking frightened.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Right." Kenna said, then left the room, waiting for Ragnar.

 

[Random berk]

Ragnar followed Kenna into the hallway, before setting off in the direction of Solaris's room.
"So, how will we do this?" He asked as they went. "Do you know where Solaris is now?"

 

[Zepherus14]

Nanami looked at the plate for a moment then back to Ulysses. "III nnoott hhunnggrry. Wwwannt oouutt." She restated, not fully understanding the situation, and finding Ulysses' witty remarks taxing on nerves already overburdened.

She also found Selim moving behind her to be extremely uncomforting, using her spear's back end to keep him somewhat off to the side of her, although still allowing him some protection from the orc per-say.

She was about to say more before she noticed a scent in the air that caught her attention. Sniffing at it for a brief moment, her eyes widened as she smelled Vanessa's scent, or at the very least that was the first thought that came to her. Regardless she started heading in that direction, finding that that Ulysses wasn't going to be any use to her.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"I know she is, or just was, in the lounge." Kenna said. "Advantage to wolf-hearing, I guess. Anyway, we find her room, poke our heads in to see if there's anything big, if we find something see if we can take it with us, then get outta there before she's back."

 

[DotSlash]

[color=666666] "True... but they probably just need some help in getting themselves straightened out." [/color] Ness said, finding herself in the locker rooms. [color=666666] "I refuse to believe that these people became as crazy as they seem to be by choice. They had something horrible or extraordinary happen to make them like this... and as such, there should be some way to make them less dangerous to themselves and the people around them... They just need to be reached out to is all..." [/color]

She sighed a small bit to herself before nodding toward Solaris. [color=666666] "I'm ready to go when you are, Ms. Solaris." [/color] The fedora girl rolled her shoulders a small bit as she waited.

[color=666666] Jeez, I feel stiff... [/color]

 

[Demonjazz]

"... Well bye than Merperson! I'll be here in the lounge if you need me!"

 

[Random berk]

"Taking anything from her room may be unwise. If we find... well, I do not know what we may find. Better not to speculate yet, I think." Ragnar led the way, already knowing where Solaris's room was, and soon they were at the door.
"You should keep a lookout at the end of the hallway. Somewhere that you can see anyone coming well in advance, but still have time to warn me without letting them know what is happening."

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"Good point... And good idea." Kenna nodded. "You go check inside, I'll keep an eye out." She got into position.

 

[Chungus]

"You sound like a social worker." Solaris remarked with a minor chuckle, shaking her head slightly. "I was a reporter for for six years, and saw some grissly scenes in that time... Forgive me if I don't share your positive views on the matter..." She added, her tone darkening by a small amount as she spoke. Wherther this was for a reason or faked was impossible to tell.

Blowing a small sigh as she and Ness left the locker rooms, Solaris nodded towards Ness, and entered the arena propper, turning around once positioned opposite the entrance, and assusming a battle stance.
[hr]
Once Nanami began moving on, Selim did the same, staying close to her, occasionally looking over his shoulder with a scared expression on his face. [color=915f6d]"Where are you going, Mister Knight?"[/color] He asked uncertainly.
[hr]
Ragnar would find Solaris' door to be locked.
