“Oh, pretty good, pretty good,” Mercutio answered, returning the smile. He noticed a frail, bald man out of the corner of his eye. This man wore a t-shirt that said, “Event Staff”, and was carrying about a clipboard. Rosaline guessed that he was there to ask for the participants’ names.

“That’s good to hear,” Zorlo said. The man with the clipboard was getting the names of the serial killer and the purple-haired woman. Zorlo continued, “And what have you been up to of late?"

“Very little, actually. All work and no fun. That’s why I’m here,” Mercutio replied. He reached into his pocket and began fishing for a jawbreaker. The fragile man asked a few other people for their names, and then walked over to a large marker board across the room. He started to jot down the day’s matches.

“Sounds like the same reason I'm here... although I've been followed, it seems. Well, its all good. Anyway how do the matches look?” Zorlo said, glancing at the marker board. Rosaline took a look himself.

First Round: Emile vs. Havok - Zorlo vs. Guerraro - Estazio vs. Mercutio - Zachary vs. Ziran - Cain vs. Monroe

“Odd number of matches. I guess somebody’s going to get a by,” Mercutio thought.

The purple-haired woman, whom The Unformed One could only guess to be Emile, headed out the gate to the arena. Havok, the man who’d followed Rosaline in, took a mask and a stick out of his bag and followed her. This would be interesting.

“That woman... she's not that strong looking, so I sense she has a gimmick to give her an edge, mayhap,” the fencer stated, watching the first two warriors leave. Mercutio’s wandering hand finally found a jawbreaker, and he popped it into his mouth with a triumphant smirk.

“Maybe. It should be fun to watch, regardless. Though I'll have to miss the first few minutes. Oh well. When nature calls…” With that, Mercutio rose to his feet and wandered off in search of the bathroom.

OOC: Three cheers for using an IMRP to fill this with dialogue! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray!
