nexus_crossings | We're all gonna get in a fight! [EVENT: FITE NITE][Warning: Violence and Blood]

People have been disappearing in the Nexus.

Going missing from work, from their homes, from the Plaza.

Locals are staying in their homes, shutting their doors. Even the more shut-in of Nexus goers will be able to tell that something is amiss around here. The Plaza is strangely sparse as far as foot traffic; many of the shops downtown are closing early.

Word is spreading in the Industrial District of an anomaly in the anti-violence field. Easy money for betting in cage fighting. Less easy money but larger amounts for competing in said cage matches. One on one, matches with and without weapons. Rounds go until someone surrenders, is knocked out, or dies. Who would set up such a thing? It's becoming very popular and many a coin is being generated. Are so many people really signing up for this?

Some are. Others are captured and drugged, thrown into the ring against their will with the ultimatum: Fight and get free, or die.

What do you do?

Are you looking to bet your wages? Sign up for a chance at riches? Are you one of the unwilling laying in a dark room?

Or.

Are you going to stand for this if not?

((Please view this OOC post to chat with other players before you jump into a fight! All fights must be agreed upon by participants ahead of time for severity of injuries. Outcomes can be agreed upon or will be decided by a coinflip by myself. Please do not come into this expecting to clean sweep someone without sustaining injuries unless you and your fight partner have agreed ahead of time that would be hilarious. If there are questins, concerns, or complaints PM me. TL:DR Have fun and don't be a dick!))

It's by far not the worst thing she's been paid to do. So signing up for this? Adora's primary stance is that she won't kill or seriously maim her opponent.

Otherwise? She's good to go.

But she's also a hell of a sight. She stands taller than damn near most of the more human-like fare around, and resembles a pale white demon in heavy plate armor, with a massive sword strapped to her back. Six runes are carved into the flat of the blade on both sides.

Admittedly, she's not behaving like a demon. Cheerful, friendly, and even outgoing. To the mystically inclined, she doesn't quite ping as a demon either. She's... something else. Dark and corrupted, even if she's not behaving as such.

A maid in a rather risque outfit is fetched as soon as Adora has signed the paperwork, leading the knight to a large waiting room with several screens set up to allow for viewing of the matches. There are two humans there, a man and a woman, if she wishes to mingle...

Let's be honest, she's like Harrow: She's from Azeroth, and she's certainly seen some risque outfits in her time. It doesn't really phase her all that much even as she follows into the waiting room, glancing around. "Hello?" Her voice is thickly accented. Putting it on human terms, it's possibly closest to Russian.

The actual Russian in the room snaps her gaze up at the greeting, giving Adora the smallest of nods in way of greeting. Next to Adora she seems too small. Fragile and tiny.

Yet she exudes a presence as fearsome as any fighter from Adora's world.

"...A newcomer, huh."

"Yes, I am new," she explained. "This Nexus is an interesting place, I will fully admit."

Adora judges not on size. She's seen plenty of smaller folk do much more damage than she could. Humans, dwarves, gnomes. Smaller size usually means greater agility or speed, really. Her tail flicks behind her restlessly, "I assume you have been here long enough to confirm that the pamphlets are fairly true?"

Oh, that new. Natasha's gaze softens considerably. New doesn't necessarily mean anything in terms of physical prowess, but what a first encounter with the Nexus. Being in a place like this.

"They are. Something weird's going on right now though. breaching the anti-violence field. Normally people aren't allowed to hurt each other physically in this place..."

Adora shrugs a shoulder, uncrossing her arms to rest a hand on a hip at she shifts her weight onto one leg. "Interesting, this 'anti-violence' field. Sounds like something useful indeed."

And then she gets kind of an amused look and adds, "I can safely say, even in my home world, something weird is always going on."

Usually you can blame Goblins. Or Gnomes. Or sometimes Forsaken.

"Good to know you're not easily startled then." Natasha's face twitches slightly, and it looks like just maybe there's the barest hints of a smile trying to poke out from her stoic features.

The armor looks a bit familiar. She isn't sure where she's seen it before off the top of her head.

"You look like you can handle yourself in a fight, too."

Adora made an amused snort into a short laugh, "Pfft. No. I have seen plenty enough in life to know that this isn't the weirdest thing I'm going to encounter. It's a new experience! And I look forward to it."

That said, the Draenei nodded, "And yes, I am more than capable in a fight, in the large sword and plated armor didn't give it away." She added with an amused tone, all smiles and bright exuberance. "It is why I'm looking forward to this." She meant the 'event', "It's a chance to test my skills against opponents who are unknowns, and I, myself, as an unknown to them."

"This is your idea of a getting to know you party."

Natasha shakes her head but this time she's almost laughing. Whoever this tall lady in the bad Russian accent is, Natasha likes her.

"You can call me Nat. Hope we don't have to fight."

Excuse you, it's a Draenei accent, not bad russian. But whatever. Adora has no fucks to give, given she's apparently a cheerful and driven. Ironically full of life.

"I! Am Adora." She did a bit of a sweeping bow, before rising, re-crossing her arms as she shifted her weight while she straightened, tail flicking lazily behind her. "And I suppose it is, in a sense. There are, of course, other ways to get to know people, but I am adaptable to my situation at hand."

Another shrug, "And if we fight, we fight, if not, we don't. Simple as that."

We're all gonna get in a fight! [EVENT: FITE NITE][Warning: Violence and Blood]
