The Stadium (In the Process of Ending/No longer accepting)

Rutila "The Black Dagger" Nixion

I made a mental note to torture Drake on the information on where the money is later, I picked up the new mask my servants have brought, and turned away from everybody. I removed my black wooden mask and then a spit second later put the new one on. it clamped itself around my head for a comfortable fit and I wouldn't have to readjust it later.

"Begin, Operating system's," I said into a voice command.

"Voice command recognized, Welcome Black Dagger." The mask replied.

Raphael~

I was lounging in the living room of the mansion reading, a clear view of everything. I saw the form of Micah stroll down the stairs into the living area. I put my book down,

"Michah," I said,

"Oh, Raphael. I didn't see you there." he said smoothly

"I tend to do that sort of thing, but i was just wondering. I won the last round, and you're not bad yourself." I said

"True, continue." he replied

I breathed,

"I think it would be mutually beneficial for us to team up." I said.

"I'm up for it," he said, shaking my hand.

"Good, I have a feeling we could get very far in the third round..."

Micah

I leave Rutila and Jesse to rest and prepare and walk back down to the others, being stopped by Raphael. He asks for an alliance and who am I to deny one. I could use all the help I could get.

"Good, I have a feeling we could get very far in the third round..." He trails off.

"What do you mean?" I ask, curious to hear his thoughts.

Raphael~

"What do you mean?" he asked,

"Well, it seems as though we both have superior mental and physical abilities. I don't know you, but I suspect you're in these games for the right reason. We both have something to fight for. I think that would make a good alliance..."

Jesse

I'm left in With Rutila inside her room and I start walking around it, smiling. I turn to her and lean against the wall.

"Can I ask you something?"

I said crossing my arms, swallowing.

Rutila "The Black Dagger" Nixion

Jesse walks around the room eyeing my things, she leans against the wall and looks at me.

"Can I ask you something?" She asks.

"Sure." I respond.

I feel around the back of my neck and remove the voice changer. Happy it's finally off.

Jesse

I swallow again and lock my hands behind my back. I walk over next to her. "Do you...Have feelings for Micah?" I asked leaning on the wall next to her and pushing some hair out of my face.

Rutila "The Black Dagger" Nixion

I chuckle slightly at her question, but I may or at most just consider him a friend.

"At most a friend." I said opening a panel with an input key.

I typed in a few numbers the password to my arsenal, the wall slowly opened to reveal a wall hung with blades from daggers to greatswords.

Jesse

I nodded, "Oh alright I just thought-" As I was saying this she turned around, with a raised eyebrow. I blushed, "I know what your thinking."

She smirks and smiles, "You like him?"

I couldn't respond, I've never 'liked' a guy in ages. I sighed and she nodded. "You sooo like him."

I shake my head at her, "I might...I might not. We'll never know." I grinned.

Rutila "The Black Dagger" Nixion

Jesse couldn't see it but I was smiling, it was good to see love blossom on the battlefield. Sadly tho, that love would come to an end come come the final round of the stadium. But still she should let him know she likes him before then.

"For me to love a man outside of my family, would be one to save me from certain death. My weaknesses are few in numbers but are crippling. But my abilies are many and powerful." I said grabbing two daggers off the walls and seaths that could be strapped to my for arms.

"Want any of these weapons?" I ask.

Ivan Kirill

"Are you alright?"

Ivan started at the question, more so because he was absolutely positive that Mouse was a mute, but once that shock passed he was then surprised that she was concerned about him and inquiring about his feelings. People were really noticing this bout of depression that was sweeping over him. They would begin to think he weak if he carried on in this manor.

"Of course," Ivan huffed. Mouse didn't say anything, just watched him. Her stare caused him to deflate and he sat back down again. "I'm fine," he said again, quieter this time, more unsure.

" you don't have to put up that tough look. it's only me." i said.
"it's never nice to be alone when you're sad... i speak from experience." i said. i didn't know where those words were coming from. i never liked talking that much. i didn't know what to do for ivan, i wasn't good at cheering people up. "i'm your team mate you know, and so is drake your not alone." i said. thats when i saw the little boy again walk up to me. the same one who kept apearing at random times and stayed with me when i was drunk.
he had such a serious face, "it's time i tell you the truth." he said. I shook my head not understanding what he was talking about. he could have just saved it for later, right now i was with ivan. "not now," i told him.
"it has to be now! its my last chance" he sounded serious. this was horrible, i wanted to help ivan but now what should i do?

Jesse

She asks me about weapons and I smile, "No thanks, I'm going...Downstairs."

I walked past her and walked downstairs. I spotted Micah and smiled. I walked over to him. "C-Can I talk to you?" I asked nervously.

Micah

Jesse takes my side before I can say anything else to Raphael.

"C-can I talk to you?" She asks.

I find it odd she is nervous, but nod. Excusing myself from Raphael, I walk with her to the side of the room, my plam throbbing.

"What's up?" I ask.

Jesse

I look at him, my nervousness getting higher,

"I know this is really unexpected but before any of use die out there I just wanted to let you know That I have feelings for you."

I bit my lip, not believing I said that.
