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!))

[Well, out of all the people he's ever met before in the Nexus, Erol is most certainly the most direct and straightforward person Ice has ever had the pleasure of encountering. His ears perk up, two beady eyes staring at Erol with an emotionless expression.]

"Ice Bear. You?"

[The talking bear was now chatting to him, telling him his name]

Erol was quiet before he said his name in a regular tone, "Name's Erol."

"Erol. New to the Nexus?"

[Ice reaches over and grabs a betting sheet off the nearest table and offers it to Erol calmly.]

"Bets are still open if you want to get in. Ice Bear thinks this is a great chance to make more money,"
havensnumberoneracer: (Erol listening/talking)

Erol crossed his arms and listening "Yes... I am new to the Nexus..

[As Ice bear hands erol a sheet, Erol quickly eyes it."]

Looks like the dark eco freak hasn't gotten chosen in a fight yet, hm?

"It will be great to get some extra cash, who looks good in a fight, Ice?"

"Welcome then. Nice place to be." [The bear gestures to a nearby table, where the rich have set of an assortment of food and drink. Most of the guests are busy chatting with each other to notice anyone new in the seating area.]

"Ice Bear thinks Han Solo is a good bet. Has also heard good things about Amelia as well." [The bear takes a glance at his own betting sheet, carefully examining the names.] "Does Erol have a favorite fighter? Or a bad one to avoid?"
