{EVENT} The Games Begin

[Ragnar the Red]

Halving half payed attention to what was going on, he went up and signed William Benesque without hesitation. For him it was like checking the box to say he had in fact read the terms and conditions that no one ever reads. Suddenly his hand began to hurt like crazy, but the armored gloves he was wearing hid it from his vision. He grumbled and muttered, "This better be good."

[Kalorph_]

Raising his hand Jack seemed confused and nervous. "Um..I don't think I have blood exactly.." He announced before walking towards the form before biting down on his thumb quickly; there wasn't even a hint of pain in his face as his canine broke the skin. Using his thumb as a pen he wrote Jack in a black..substance? It wasn't even that, and it wasn't liquid. But the paper was now stained black with his signature. It was as if whatever ran through his veins marked the very existence of the paper, and by doing so left a very powerful bond to Jack.
Stepping away he walked to the fringes of the group and watched the people gathered here quietly. He didn't know how to act in a situation like this, but this tournament would be a great way to mark himself as a powerful force and therefore worthy of respect in this plane. It would help his duties as Herald a lot.

K2323 was always accustomed to being a very busy individual, needing to be spoken to constantly by various parties. And so, to the shadow figure, he nodded his head, and to Jay as well, he quietly affirmed the Templar's statement with a, "Bet on it."

Once everyone had signed, K2323's contract began to fold itself closed before it began to levitate towards K2323, who outstretched his hand, his fingers feeling the cold, hard parchment which he put away within a pocket of his robes. Placing his hand on the table before him, he summoned it away. It was time to begin the games, then. Looking around, K2323 silently counted the number of people who had signed.

"Fifteen, huh?" K2323 noted, "An odd number right away. As such, one of you will automatically receive a bye, meaning one of you will not have to participate in the opening round, as chosen by random chance. All matches are also chosen at random."

He looked to his left, and then to his right. Already, people were beginning to pour into the stadium. "The first match will begin in fifteen minutes. All contestants who are waiting for their matches may watch from the Contestant Deck," he explained, pointing towards the press box on the upper decks of the stadium, "Air conditioned, private decks. Your every need will be catered too. You will also find, upon reporting to the deck, that each of you have been granted a room at the Excel Condo in K City. Right, good luck, everyone. The first match will be announced momentarily."

[Ragnar the Red]

Private Condo, huh? William thought to himself. Pretty boy's already a better boss then dumbass emperor.

[Queen Bright]

Once Celso had signed the contract, Hikaru smirked as his magic producing organ became hers. He would still have it within him, but any spells or magic he cast would have to be under her order. With this fool to battle, Hikaru could lie low and remain undiscovered yet at the same time get the chance to fight her brother. Everything was going according to plan.

When Celso had gone to sign K2323's contract, Hikaru hid herself amongst the crowd.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

In the back of the crowd, almost unknown to anyone, came a slight poof of blue smoke. A sudden, unnaturally strong wind blue across the crowd and blew the smoke away to reveal the form of a standing figure. He was dressed in a dark brown cloak decorated with ornate golden designs, constantly changing, flashing into the shapes of dragons flying, pheonixes rising from ashes, waves crashing over sand and many other images. The cloak's hood bore the same golden, ever changing designs and made it seem like there was a shadow covering the owner's face. The only things that portruded from the hood were a long, silver beard that went down to the middle of his chest and the light of blue, glowing eyes, whisps that emitted small amounts of blue smoke.

"I do hope I'm not to late to sign up." Came Isaac Tanak's voice. "I would be most disapointed if I couldn't participate because I lost track of time." He said, moving to the front.

[Ragnar the Red]

"Awe, great," William sighed to himself. "Another freaking magic major."

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

The man turned his head to him and smiled. When he smiled, the white glint of his teeth shone through the eerie blackness of his hood. "Don't worry, sonny. We don't all shoot fireballs or lightning out of our eyes."

[Ragnar the Red]

"No," William stated. "You just make sh** boring."

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

Isaac let out a dry, cackling laugh. "I like you." He said. "Very blunt. Good. We'll see how boring things are when we're all fighting for the prize, hm?"

[Ragnar the Red]

"Yeah, whatever," William said in an undeliberately teenagerish fashion.

[Beware Ye Who Enter Here]

Isaac smirked invisibly before looking back to K2323. "So, son? Gonna let an old man have one more go at the prize?" He asked, his voice tinted with teasing.

[Queen Bright]

"Wait for us!" Both Rev, then Gen appeared one after the other behind Issac, the two nearly toppling into the old man.

"We would like to join for the experience!" Gen declared as Rev added,

"And knowledge of battle."

Before the contract had been rolled up, the white haired woman had went ahead and signed the contract in what looked like white blood as Kotah signed after her.

[K2]

"Right," K2323 noted, "More people."

After Isaac and the other newcomers had signed, the contract and table vanished, and each of the contestants were forcefully teleported to the Contestant Deck. It was time... For the first match to begin.
