[i]Hm. Interesting. You been here before?[/i]

"Yeah, got in a few months ago, some Shadow person tested me for admission. Knew a contact that was here from before anyways, so decided to come and train." [i][b]The figure responded, taking a step back and turning. He stretched his arms out and bent his elbows, eventually spinning in semicircles with his upper body, keeping his feet firmly planted in place, while he looks out the window. [/b][/i]"How about you, how long you been here?"
-
[i]I've been here a few days. A good friend of mine brought me in. His name's Royal. You know him by any chance? [/i] [b]Kross tilts his head and watches you curiously.[/b]

"Can't say I do, was able to find this shithole relatively on my own, though I recall Alex Wilson (Wolfe's char) mentioning it a while back."
-
[i]Shithole? Nice way of talking about it.[/i]
-
"Well, the standard for fighters around here are the ones that rely on magic and gear rather than abilities. So yeah, I see shithole as the word to describe it. Though I've met a few people around here who aren't bloody magicians, and that actually fight with skill."
-
"Magic is a Cheat honestly. But wouldn't abilities be considered magic?"
-
"I'll accept abilities like, someone being in peak physical condition, or having a biotic arm that can strengthen punches like I have. But I draw the line when someone can do seven flips in a jump, land on your head and snap your damned neck with their feet. That's not abilities, that's magic."
-
"Who the hell? Ah Nevermind that's some crazy shit right there."
-
"It's an example, though I've seen some people do some insane shit too."
-
"Probably that asshole Jared."
-
"Nah, I got a pal who met Jared, he's a good guy. Besides, he only killed the guy in self-defense. I gotta take his side on that."
-
"Ah i Dont really know the story. Just whispers here and there that I tried piecing together."
-
"Well, you can't trust bits and pieces man, I personally think he's all good."
-
"So what happened?"
-
"Apparently some guy tried to fight him, he killed the bastard in self defense."
-
"But these are fighting grounds."
-
"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure there's a no death policy if you don't actually want to die."
-
"Well now I know the story."
-
"Yup."
-
"Thank you."
