WAOA Arena

[DotSlash]

Carmen sighed a bit as Solaris forced a smile at her and she noticed the few things in the woman's face being off. [color=bb0066] "If you don't want it or feel you need it, simply drop it. You need not try so hard with your charade." [/color] She said, not seeming angered by the gesture as the duo turned inside.

Pix made no reply as Solaris walked into the lounge.

Ness continued to sleep despite Horst, only shifting a bit more to try and drown out the noise.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

Horst kicked the couch hard. "Hey! Wake up!"

 

[Random berk]

Once his prayers were completed, Ragnar got to his feet and sheathed his chainsword, clipped his helmet to his belt and picked up his bolter. Snuffing out each of the candles, he went out into the hallway and headed for the lounge.

 

[Chungus]

Solaris briefly glanced towards Carmen with a raised eyebrow, before looking straight ahead again, and shrugging lightly. "Again, I don't know what you're talking about."

While still holding the whip in her right hand, Solaris wrapped her arms around her waist and looked to Horst forcedly trying to wake Ness up. "My. How impolite." She said casually.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Mordin continued to wait for Horst to do his thing.

 

[Random berk]

"Another fine day in this Warp-wrought prison." Ragnar remarked dryly as he strolled into the lounge. "How are my fellow inmates today?" He was grinning, but his voice was brittle and the grin was clearly somewhat forced, more a bearing of his fangs than anything.

 

[DotSlash]

Ness let out a small shriek as the couch was kicked and she was shoved onto the floor by the force of the kick. She groaned and awoke, her eyes bloodshot due to the lack of sleep she was able to get along with the rude awakening she'd just received. [color=666666] ...I really should've stayed in my room... [/color] She rubbed her eyes for a while and looked up at Horst blankly. [color=666666] ".....Yes?" [/color]

[hr]

Carmen shrugged in response herself. [color=bb0066] "I won't press on it further. I just hope once you're forced to drop the act, it won't be overly brutal for you." [/color] She said softly, looking forward. Seeing Ness getting tossled around, she let out a small chuckle. Looking to Ragnar, Carmen waved casually in response.

 

[Chungus]

"Your concern is touching, if misplaced." Solaris casually responded to Carmen, brushing off the comment entirely.

Once Ragnar entered the lounge, Solaris first looked over her shoulder, then turned to face him, giving a small wave. Her body was still covered in the green slime suit that was Pix. "I'm doing well enough, considdering."

 

[Outisakanobody]

Mordin gave Ness a smile and wave before looking over to Ragnar, eying him with clear uneasiness.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"I was wondering if you could tell me what's going on here." Horst said, before looking up at Ragnar warily.

 

[Random berk]

Ragnar scanned lazily over the room before turning to Horst. "Not much. You've been transported to an arena in..." Suddenly his attention snapped back to Carmen, and just as quickly to Mordin. Reflexively his bolter came up, but he stopped himself before it reached his shoulder, remembering his promise not to attack anyone outside of the arena.

"What... you... impossible!" He exclaimed, eyes wide. "I saw you die, right in front of me!" This was obviously directed at Carmen.

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen idly scratched the back of her head, not seeming all that phased by Ragnar's surprise and booming exclamation. [color=bb0066] "Ah, they probably should have mentioned that. But when you die in this arena or even in this residential area, you're brought back to life via some machine in your room." [/color] She explained, sighing a small bit before cracking a small smile at Ragnar. [color=bb0066] "You say that as if you missed me. I'm flattered~!" [/color] She said, placing a hand on her chest and smiling widely, though it would be very hard to tell if she was mocking him or being sincere.

[hr]

Ness blinked blankly and froze up for a few moments after Ragnar screamed. Looking back to Horst, she sighed. [color=666666] "You've been transported to an arena to fight for bloodsport and the like. At the end of this tournament, the rank #1 fighter gets to leave and have one wish of their granted." [/color] She said, letting out a long yawn afterward and nearly falling asleep after the short explanation. [color=666666] "....Leaderboards... are around here somewhere." [/color]

 

[Outisakanobody]

Mordin cautiously moved away from Ragnar as he seemed to be quite unstable.

 

[Chungus]

With Carmen in conversation with Ragnar, Solaris moved to a free couch, and sat down with crossed legs. She momentarily looked to Luistorg and thought to challange him once more, but refrained from doing so upon seeing he was wholly absorbed in a book. Blowing a small sigh, Solaris looked down to Pix. [sub]"And there we have our juggernaut. As I'm sure you've seen."[/sub] She said with a hushed voice that would likely go completely unnoticed by those not within a few steps of Solaris due to the various people speaking in the lounge. Looking back up, Solaris glanced towards Mordin and Horst, looking the two over carefully.

 

[Random berk]

"You have yet to explain your daemonic appearance!" Ragnar growled at Carmen. He had noticed the machine in his room but had no understanding how the working of such devices, and so had left it alone. That it could bring the dead back to life was... unnerving. When Mordin moved it caught Ragnar's attention again, and he turned his fierce yellow eyes on him.
"What must one do to challenge another to combat in the arena?" He asked to no one person in particular, teeth gritted.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"Well, that sounds just great..." Horst sighed, before pointing at Ragnar. "What he asked. How do these fights get set up?"

 

[DotSlash]

Carmen looked up at Ragnar's angry face, blinking blankly. [color=bb0066] "Just ask, dear. Or wait for the big voices from above to force you to fight. Either or." [/color] Carmen said casually. [color=bb0066] "As for my appearance, it's because I'm a demon. I apologize for being so difficult hand about it before." [/color] She continued. [color=bb0066] "To be precise, I'm a succubus." [/color]

The gel around Solaris seemed to move up and down slowly in response to what Solaris had said, seeming to come the closest to a nod Pix could muster without having her head stick out of the gel suit.

Ness simply nodded in response to what Carmen had said before slowly rising to her feet and trying to half-sleepwalk her way out of the lounge. She mumbled [color=666666] [small] "Excuse me." [/small] [/color] to who she bumped into as she moved out of the lounge and toward her room.

 

[Outisakanobody]

Mordin was really starting to feel uncomfortable as he slightly adjusted his grip on the gun in his hand. "I hope I haven't done anything to offend you. If I have, please accept my apologies." he said, thinking it would be far better to appease the big guy rather than do anything else.

 

[Chungus]

Listening to Carmen's response to Ragnar, Solaris raised an eyebrow. A demon? I wasn't expecting that, I must say. Her gaze drifting between Ragnar and Mordin, Solaris blew a small sigh, somewhat disappointed that Ragnar hadn't opened fire yet. Standing up again, Solaris walked to Mordin's side, into his field of vision. "You know, you'll have to fight someone sooner or later. You might as well get it over with." She commented.

 

[Random berk]

"Not as difficult as I'm about to be about it." Ragnar replied with a vicious smile, fangs glinting for Carmen's benefit. With that said, he turned his attention to Mordin.
"Your very existence is an offense, xenos abomination. I would purge you both right here, right now, but I swore not to raise a hand in anger where it could risk innocents. I challenge you both to combat in the arena, where I can bring down the Allfather's wrath on you as is right."
