9th Match - [Voice]

[beanies]

Four more days until this struggle match is underway! I'll go ahead and say it now: I'm proud of each and everyone who tries, yada yada, blah blah, and so on. But you're all getting owned into next week.

Haynerd, how's the planning going?

Scourge, you free yet? We're cutting it close now. And Guilmon, you too. Come on, guys, be on top of things, will ya?

...Kanji, we've bot business to discuss.

[He clears his throat.]

'Ey, Beat, you up for a little match?

[voice.]

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Things... to do?

[voice.]

[beatitlikemj.livejournal.com]

Y-Yeah.

[voice.]

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Li--[Nah, he won't pry.] Alright, do what you gotta.

[voice.]

[beatitlikemj.livejournal.com]

[Pauses, grin in his voice.]

Thanks, man.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Can't wait to make you eat your words.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Pry, you can't touch this!

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

We'll see.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Yup. Hopefully you don't get eliminated before the semi-finals.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Hnph! And if I did, it would only be on purpose, 'cause sorry to say, your dumb pillowbat game's a bit of a snorefest.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Hey! I bet it's twice as fun as whatever boring games you played.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Kid stuff. Didn't have time for games.

[seasaltsnack.livejournal.com]

Planning's going fine, I need to sort out the last of the first round fights, but otherwise we're set. I'll put a who vs who list up tomorrow.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Need any help with that? It's a big project for someone with a brain the size of yours.

Don't post the list, though. Let's do this Twilight Town style--you find out when you're called up to fight.

[seasaltsnack.livejournal.com]

No, I don't need any help!

Fine fine, but me, Roxas and you will have to look over the others since we don't have any referee's here.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

We'll have to train some referees in the future, but until then, I'm sure we got it covered.

Heh... Actually, I got a pretty good candidate for one. I'll talk to him about it.

[seasaltsnack.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should do our matches last, so we don't have any delays.

[ Hayner thinking ahead? He's being mister business about this tournament, mostly because he's still annoyed with Seifer. ]

Really? Alright, sounds good.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Hm... that could work, or we could rotate. Either way, we'll have at least two of us as referees, so long as we're not matched against each other.

Yup. He's part of the committee, so don't mess with him.

[seasaltsnack.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[ He grumbled out a quiet 'Stupid committee' before asking, ]

What are you remaking the committee for?

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

What's it matter, chicken wuss? Just don't get in trouble, got that?

[imgreenbitch.livejournal.com]

Chip ain't out yet, but that's fine by me. Now that I got someone's word that it's getting out soon, I can be a little more patient.

Yeah, I'm in.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

You free tomorrow afternoon?

[imgreenbitch.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm free, man. You want me to stop on by wherever you are?

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Alright, good! Yeah, sure, show up at Gohl, and we'll find a place to practice.

[imgreenbitch.livejournal.com]

You got it.

[textile-kanji.livejournal.com]

What's up?

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Two things.

One, the committee. It's just small now, and really, there's nothing to do... yet. But it's basically just kind of a neighborhood watch to keep local troublemakers out of everyone's hair. You in?

And two, in four days, there's a tournament coming up. A competition from my old town, struggling. It might be too late to train you how I want for it, but I can give you the low-down now. And you're a pretty fair guy when it comes to fights. Wanna play referee?

[textile-kanji.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah I'm in.

Hmm...sure, I got nothing else to do. How's this uh....struggling thing work?

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Wicked. Once I figure out a plan of action, I'll let you know.

Struggling is [INSERT TL;DR he knows everything HERE].

[textile-kanji.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me.

Got it...sounds pretty cool, man. You think it up yourself?

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Alright!

I should've! But nope, it's just a big thing we have back at home. Think you can remember all that? Me, Roxas, and Chicken wuss are rotating refereeing too, so if anything, ask one of us if you spot something.

[textile-kanji.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think I got it, specially if other people are gonna be doin it too.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Alright then! I think this tournament's gonna go along smoothly.

[mercifulsmile.livejournal.com]

There's a tournament? Ooh, what's the prize?

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Struggle tournament, yeah. Prize...

I'll get back to you on that.

[mercifulsmile.livejournal.com]

When is it?

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

The tenth.

[mercifulsmile.livejournal.com]

Where are you holding it? I'd like to watch!

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

At the park.

...you want in? How good are you with weapons? Hn...

[mercifulsmile.livejournal.com]

...Oh! I didn't know you had to use weapons. Do you mean swords and spears? I'm only good in hand-to-hand combat, I'm sorry! I'll watch instead, don't go out of your way.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

They're just soft bats covered in foam, for safety purposes, and it's faster training if someone's got experience in swinging something.

But sure, we need an audience. Bring some friends if you want.
