A three verses three blind fight. That’s what the Young Fanalis known as Humayra signed up for. What were the benefits to such an arranged match? Probably only the fact that each side would know their opponents just about as much as they did their own fighting partner. Essentially there were no advantages to be seen. Something Humayra had seriously considered as she didn’t have any friends to immediately call upon for this sort of endeavor. But why was she here? Mostly because she was hungry and solving that problem required food, which also required money, and that was something she was dangerously short on right now. The questions answered themselves when considering the methods of making money. Getting a skilled trade job? Not something Humayra could do… Having someone hire and pay her funding up front? Not likely. Which left only one real quick solution on the table. Fight it out in the coliseum, and win. Fighting Humayra could do without question. She stood ready at her door, waiting for it to open and let her into the arena. Who would be her ally and who would be the opponent didn’t matter to the young Fanalis girl. This experience would be new to her for one very particular reason; Instead of being forced into a fight she’d have no choice but to win if she wanted to survive, Humayra would instead be fighting solely because she wanted to do so. And for the winner’s reward, of course.
Rufus grumbled ungraciously under his breath. He’d somehow been convinced to participate in a three-v-three match today and already he was regretting it. Focus fighting was his thing, tossing a second and third person into the mix really messed with his style of going out and kicking butt while taking names. He supposed he could participate in a team effort, if his supposed companion were competent enough to warrant it. Really though he just wanted to have another good fight and hoped this wouldn’t just end up being a major disappointment. Still, whatever came he’d focus on the bigger challenge and beat it to the ground with his own strength. This he thought to himself, rotating and cracking his fists to prepare himself for when the doors would open and reveal the opponents.
Shusara danced her shuriken around in the air. Tossing them, catching them when they fell back, alternating which hand she caught each shuriken in. She couldn’t help but grin from ear-to-ear while waiting with bated anticipation for the gates to open up and finally let her into the arena. Death happened all the time in the arena and weapons were allowed. Anything that might happen while inside the arena, even if it were to be death could be chalked up to the simple fact that casualties of the game were expected to happened. Because what fun would a fight be if there were never any risks.
Vita pumped the air in front of her, fists and crimson hair alike flying into the space with a solid “woosh” with each swing. Fanalis fists fast and strong enough to bust open skulls if need be. Unmatched in her fighting class, a six person brawl was what she needed to up the excitement and break through with a fighting win. Maybe if this fight went well enough she’d ask for a raise in the stakes. Her alone verses all three opponents would be a fine challenge to undertake. They were basically all fighting here for themselves anyway since none of them were allowed to converse beforehand with their supposed partners in this match. It might as well have been a free-for-all in her eyes. It didn’t matter. As soon as the gates opened, Vita would be the first to exit the cages at top speed. Making a competition out of her own eagerness, the excited Fanalis would strive to be the first to land a blow once the fighting started.
All the contestants would be waiting behind their respective gates when the announcer began his speech, announcing the names of each contestant along with a small tidbit from his own notes about them. Once he finished the gates would open up and the fighting would begin.
