He made an involuntary step backward, "Crap. How come I found myself always in mess like those?" he interposed his hand between them and he felt an energy surging inside, and static formed around his hand.
Too much was happening too fast, "I am not food!" he blurted mostly without thinking, he turned around and started walking away "see you around"
He walked fast, almost running, at first he felt like puking, it took several minutes to calm down enough to start thinking rationally again.
"My God, she talked like, we did it before, that's insane."
"Maybe you should have" a little voice inside him suggested maliciously, "after all, as far as you know it should be a pleasant experience."
"Yes, and dangerous, what am I thinking"
He stopped himself, had to lean on the wall a second, still a bit in shock.

She stands there looking at you shocked. "FINE!" she yells at you before going back to exercising, much quicker this time. "Not going to lend you my notes next time...jerk...I just wanted a basic meal."
A fair number of people are looking at your fight, but quickly go back to their own things.

"I heard that." A voice comes from behind you. You turn and see a messy woman in a chain shirt and various magical items sitting there. Mana turns white.
"Um..hi?" she says scared.
"Calm down. I have better things to do than murder a civilian." She looks over Mana, who is now gripping your arm rather tight. "It's just the way I fight. It just feels like I'm holding back if I fight tourney style..."
She grips her polearm weapon (blade-on-a-stick, I don't know the name of it, not a spear...it's got more a curved blade, oriental style).
"I look forward to seeing the match as well." She turns to the tournament as the squires start to enter the field to prepare for the pre-game matches. The arena is still fairly empty.
John
Looking down and seeing how frightened Mana is John tries his best to comfort her.
"Umm Mana... Can I have my arm back. I'm sure you are quite safe with such an impressive warrior to protect us"

Painting again the wall, in a secluded corner far from prying eyes, he managed to calm himself a little, he was also thinking about what he felt before the surge of energy, he closed his eyes and focused himself; after a while he felt something a swirling of worlds and gestures, and he knew in a certain way what they were for, Mage Hand, Summon Monster, Prestidigitation, he focused on the last one, he performed the mental instruction he had and... poof, a little flower appeared in his hand, it wasn't much but... that was cool.
"This seems exactly like the wish back at the game, we are going beyond the impossible... I got to clear my head a little" he thought, and directed himself on the outside, he knew he needed to find out what was happening, but right now he needed to rest his mind, and try to push out of his mind the thought that he left a likely dangerous and possibly angry bloodsucker. "I might as well hit the festival."

"Food...has...to...do...with...heart..." The maid girl replies shyly. She's clearly not used to being around this many people. "Go...to...the...cafe...Cute Kitten Cafe..."
Suddenly a man walks up behind her. "You okay Katie?" he asks her. "Oh hey, are you enjoying Katie's cooking?" he asks. "Name's Kris, I own said maid cafe. I'd shake your hand but you've been eating and such." He's blonde and very bishonen. Clearly a man who knows his way around the social scene. He has an air of charisma.

Lee waves to you. "Hi, care for some chocolate?"
She relaxes as the threat of impending doom dissipates, "Oh, that's good." She grins a little when he mentions the great game, "That's practically cheating."
At the introduction of the dragon, "Hello Lee", she offers a weak gestured handshake. "My name is Tabitha Wright. It's a real pleasure to meet you.

MORI. NO U. The Mouri family is the family in the western part of the kingdom. Mori is the dungeon master. There's a reason why I changed my character into Patricia (in character, the reason is that I didn't have a PC to play, and I wished to play the great game, and the grimoire couldn't/wouldn't change me into a dragon, so I got stuck as Patricia, ironic isn't it?)

I don't actually know if the princess wants to marry me, just that my wish included something about "being the brave knight who marries the princess" and that the princess wants to marry someone who evidently is not much for fame and not political.

"I didn't wish to be a girl. I wished to take part in the great game, and apparently the Grimoire has a sense of humor. As it didn't turn me into a dragon, but rather an NPC I had prepared. Patricia was an NPC, but as for your characters, I don't know anything outside of what you've told me. All the major names seem to be around though, Teru, All the houses, Lee. Also this place is based on a videogame, so yeah...I'm not very creative."

(addressing Aisha again) Your title came up in conversation this morning, and half the nobles seem to think of you as a rabid wolf who will probably try to seize the throne and plunge the realm into civil war, while the other two-thirds think of you as a dubiously tame wolf, only good for smiting evil. That's why I mentioned being surprised at how wise you've already shown yourself. Probably a good lesson on not believing everything you hear about people in there somewhere."

Aisha - "The nobles talk a lot, but they have to keep an air among themselves. They can't show weakness or else their enemies will pounce. Of course you would know all about the social ways of the high courts."
Mana - "Aisha! Watch yourself!"
Aisha - "He is different. He wouldn't be in this part of the arena if he wasn't looking to social on a commoner level, and I'd like someone to find a noble capable of taking me on. They exile me...well...let's just say there's a big difference between someone who's been in dozens of battles, and someone who is mostly tea ceremony work."

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
"I'm curious, do you include the princess in your generalization of the high nobles? From what I've seen, and from the fact that your sister is her guard, she feels to me more like the sort to respect your work, even though she'd never want or be able to be a warrior herself. And I'm glad you think me better than some of my peers. Quite a few felt to me like serpents, waiting to turn on the princess. Perhaps that's why they suspect you of treachery, it's said that only the trustworthy can trust others."

Aisha turns red. "The princess is very respectable...she's kind...but she has an air to her. She's got it all, Style, Grace, and Talent. She respects everyone and knows how to pick the best."

"And yet without you and those like you, she'd be slaving in some orc hovel. If you ever feel useless or left out, try thinking of all the beauties that only exist because you protect them from the evil."

Aisha - The princess is not like that...not her...she...I can't say it.
It seems the princess did something in the past that embarrassed Aisha.

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
"It's ok, Aisha. I don't understand, but God will tell me if it's anything I need to know. On a not-particularly-related note, do you by any chance know a Sir Zachary Smith? He and your sister seem to know each other pretty well, and they're sparring today. Oh, and do you mind if I sit with you for the tournaments? I think we might be able to share some thoughts regarding the champions."
Danil's thoughts had once again splintered and piped up a full chorus.
(Squicky Thoughts) Aisha and Princess sitting in a tree, K-I-S-...
(Danil's Conciousness) SHUT UP!!
(Snarky Observations) You're courting a second lady already? When you're still trying to figure out if you're going to marry the princess? Quite the little Casanova we have here!
(Shipper Thoughts) There's something so... clean about her, despite what Squicky is suggesting.
(Squicky Thoughts) Only suggesting? I thought I was outright stating!
(Danil's Conciousness) I'll sort this out later, once I have a little more clue what's going on. Right now, pipe down. I need to pay attention.
[OOC] Is the mind-link still active? I know it was supposed to last 40 minutes, but I'm not sure how long it's been. Oh, and if the mindlink is active, would Lexis have been able to hear that mental converation or only what I was sending him (in this case nothing).[/OOC]

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
"You can sit here...I thought you'd be sitting the nobles. You might get some weird looks."
Mana laughs. "I know what happened Aisha..." she says teasingly.
Aisha - "You do not!"
Mana - "Everyone knows what happened. The princess snuck into one of your gold unit battles and ended up saving your life!" She says in a teasing sing-song voice.
Aisha - "Sh-sh-shut up!" She grips her weapon tightly.
Mana - "I was scared of you at first, but you're fun to be around!" Mana laughs.
(Mindlink is gone I believe, it's been more than 40 minutes)

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
"Getting weird looks is kind of the entire point of this. One of the quickest and most effective ways to mess up everyone else's plans is to act either randomly or, better yet, with complete honesty. in a system predicated on everyone trying to manipulate everyone else, one honest person can bring the whole mess crashing down."

Mana - "You're not a very idealistic person are you?" She says shyly.
Aisha - "Either way, I'm going to go. I have something I need to check out."
Mana - "You're leaving? But they're just about to start? Don't you want to watch?"
Aisha - "Yes, but I have my reasons. I need to go investigate something."
Aisha runs off.
Mana - "Look the squires are starting to duel!" Mana points to the fighting arena where two squires are standing off.

Re: Grimoire of the Rift (IC)
"Oh, I'm idealistic enough. I'm just starting to think Mori isn't."
(chases after Aisha)
"Need any help with your investigations?"

"Need any help with your investigations?"
Mana - "Who is Mori?" She's clearly confused at this comment.
Aisha - "No this...is...a private matter. I have to go do this on my own. Although you can do something for me...if you wish."
