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!))

[As for that flash drive, the bear takes a small sip from his drink before continuing on with the conversation.] "Ice Bear puts some computer pictures on it. Scenic ones of different worlds and people. Red will get good use out of those backgrounds." [He just nods his head calmly.] "Ice Bear has done his research...on taking photos."
no subject
"Different worlds, you say?" He can't help the small grin that settles on his lips. "They wouldn't happen to be labeled, would they?" Just how much effort has the bear taken on his behalf, he wonders.
no subject
"Ice Bear labeled them with specific numbers and letters. Only Red can understand the importance of a good name." [And by names, he's clearly hinting at bank account or transaction numbers. It seems that a certain fluffy polar bear has been busy getting information from the people here tonight.]
no subject
Red suddenly stops turning over the flash drive in his fingers to give Ice Bear his full attention, big grin and all. "That's very generous of you. I don't know how I could ever repay such a gift." Does Ice Bear realize this has become a subtle negotiation for price? Because that is definitely where Red has it going.
no subject
[The bear tries to pay it off in a very modest fashion, except for the fact that his little ears are twitching. He thinks long and hard about his decision before speaking up once more.]
"...Ice Bear wants to learn how to dance. Not hip hop or modern. Something nice."
no subject
It's an idea that almost makes Red chuckle, but he manages to keep his composure by reminding himself that this bear is far more capable than many of the people he's met in his lifetime. If ever there were a bear who could learn the art of ballroom dancing, it would be the one seated next to him.
"I'm certain I could arrange that. I'd even offer to be your partner, if you'd like."
