((aboveground in the arena...)) Andre let Brian follow him to the little kitchen where he was in the habit of fixing his own food, usually just sandwiches, toast, or cold cereal. He got some stuff from the fridge and started making a plate of ham sandwiches to take back out to the arena seats. He looked down at the boy and grinned.
"Do you like cheese on your sandwiches? Mayo? Ketchup? Syrup?"
((down in the basements...)) BillBob finished sweeping and looked at the metal scrub-brush in his hands. It still worked well, even with a chunk bitten out of the stainless steel bristles.
"Think I'll take this with me. Seems someone decided to let some of the monsters out..." Raul jumped down from the top of the cage he'd been standing on and addressed BillBob.
"Good thing there was someone to toss that thing to you, eh?" He swaggered as if he'd been of crucial importance, then spoke to Saito:
"You're sure useful to have around, what's your name?" BillBob rolled his eyes at Raul and cautiously looked around, counting the monsters in their cages to see if any were missing.
((sj3: sorry... next we'll have one of the creatures originally intended for the tournament... with weaknesses and strengths and everything, you'll just have to guess what they are and I'll tell you what works or not, 'k?))

((linkstud: "link just stands there"... where? The Dueling Arena's a big place... and there are a lot of locations in it where there isn't anybody currently located. Is link around the main entrance, inside near the tournament sign-up table, down one level from that in the practice rooms, up in the spectator stands, or did he follow Raul, BillBob, and Saito down to the basement level where the monsters are kept, or was he up in the stands and followed Andre and Brian into the kitchen... ?? Wherever he is, if he's just cloaked and not drawing attention to himself, I hope he's not expecting anyone to notice him, because it's not likely that anyone will.))
((Tschudy: There's no actual battle going on in the main arena right now, but there is a holographic projection of events down in the basements... and if your character is up in the spectator stands then he can ask Andre about how to get down to where the fighting is, when Andre and Brian get back from making sandwiches. Or, alternatively, there were some left-over critters from a previous practice battle (flying storm sniper salmon berserkers ridden by lobster mages) that are still loose in the main arena, off to one side because they don't seem to like the holograms. Your character could go attack them, too... but the person in charge of bringing out monsters for people to fight has been kidnapped and the people in the basements are on their way to effect a rescue.))
((back in the kitchen...)) Andre finished making the sandwiches, having cut them in half and piled them on a platter. Handing one to Brian to eat on the way back, he next grabbed a couple glasses and a full pitcher of juice that was some reddish-purple color. Carrying the platter, juice, and glasses all together in his big hands, Andre lead the way back to the spectator stands and their view of the arena, so they could continue watching events in the basement. He spoke to the little boy with him:
"Now, Brian, I'm going to insist that you don't eat too quickly... one half of a sandwich at a time, okay?"
((down in the basements...)) BillBob and Raul walked with Saito, Raul holding his rapier over his shoulder and behind his back as if he thought that was a cool-looking pose to be in, despite how uncomfortable it was going to get in a short amount of time and the fact that it wasn't a useful starting position for a good attack of any sort. Every now and then one of the monsters in a cage they were passing made a sudden move and he would jump a little. BillBob walked very alert, trying to remember which monsters were supposed to be in the cages in that room, and if any of the empty cages were ones that were supposed to have monsters in them. Suddenly he stopped cold.
"Wait. Do you hear that?" ((okay, I'm rolling a number from 1-10 to see which monster from my list everyone gets to run up against now...))

((aboveground, arriving back at the stadium seats...)) Andre was amused by how trusting Brian seemed to be. Well, he reflected, little kids shouldn't have to be suspicious. That's the problem with a world that has evil people in it. Even little kids can't afford to always be trusting... Arriving back at the seats, Andre led the way to the ones with the best view of the main arena and the holographic projection. The cameras downstairs showed a hallway intersecting with the long rectangle that was the room with the cages in it. In the hallway he saw...
"What is that thing? Look, Brian, it's like some kind of... I-don't-know-what! I hope they're going to be okay down there!" Andre set down the picnic lunch and pointed while he spoke.
((sj3: No, sir. From here on out it's not likely that you'll get puny ones. We're actually using real tournament monsters now. 3nodding And even if we draw a puny one at some point, it's gonna be one that can hold its own and not be such easy shish-kebab. So far the only ones I have finished profiles for are ones for the first tournament level, but we'll get to some of the ones for the second and third levels deeper in the basements/catacombs later on...))
((down in the basement...)) As Saito reached the point where the hallway opened onto the room they were in, there was a clattering of heavy split-hoofed feet on the stone floor, and Saito caught a glimpse of some sort of horned reptilian beast the size of a moose charging him.
