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!))

Natasha was not expecting that. Her eyes go wide when the knife rips free and then she's solidly on her stomach struggling under the weight of Vanyel's wolf deliberately trying to keep her down.
She doesn't want to thrash--the wolf might latch onto her to try and keep her down if she does and Natasha isn't committed enough to winning this to deal with that. She also doesn't want to severely hurt Vanyel in a way that would be hard to recover from. The spy doesn't see a way for this fight to continue without doing potentially both of these things. And even then, she's not convinced she could even win.
Instead, Natasha raises her hand and calls out in a clear voice.
"The match is yours!" The crowd erupts in glee at the outcome, and already there's a succubus-maid strutting out to escort Vanyel off to be treated for his more major injuries. Natasha gets up once the wolf is off of her and gives Vanyel a nod before she turns and heads back to her own door. 'Good match' her gaze says. She'll catch up with him later to chat and trade pointers. He's taught her a lot.

It was a good match, and he considers himself lucky to have scraped a win.
