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

[smartass_captain]

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!))

[He shakes his head in response to Felix's comment, not intending on revealing that he's bet against Jim. Instead, he points to a spot a few feet away, where two demons are standing, trying to conceal a hidden door that connects the arena and the cell blocks.]

[The bear leans in close as whispers into Felix's ear.] "...Your best shot, if you want to hide somewhere and wait for your friend. Take them something shiny. They'll let you stand there all day. Close to the ring as well." [He pauses, giving Felix a cold stare.] "Don't tell them about Ice Bear."

Felix takes the pair of guards in with as brief a glance as possible, feigning disinterest. If he has the opportunity that could be exactly what he needs to reach the captain...

"Of course. I understand." He flashes Ice Bear a quick - but genuine - smile. He really hopes the beat isn't setting him up, but if it comes down to it he'll take the gamble. "Thank you."

Something shiny for demonic creatures? He has just the thing...

"Hurry. Jim fights first." [The bear isn't setting Felix up into any sort of trap, since really, he's not getting paid to do that. Maybe he actually does care about friends looking out for one another. For now, he turns and walks away, not wanting to get involved in any scheme Felix has planned.

As for those two demons, well, you definitely don't want to meet them in a dark alley. Both look completely merciless and eager to kill those who oppose them.]
