As usual, the screens were set up, the food laid out, and the digital board with the bracket was ready to go. The Regular fights were first, then the Magic users. Awards were given out after both were finished. Paige Winterbourne has fully taken over for Adam who left Madison.

[OOC Notes as follows]:

Each match and the rolls are listed on the 7/4/24 Regular and Magic tabs. Higher number wins. Please use those to decide how your fight went (close? why did you lose? why did you win? Get creative!). All rolls were done via bot and matchups were done randomly. If there was a tie, it is italicized and was re-rolled. Note: the more you enter the more likely you'll fight yourself. This is fine, but just warning you it might happen!

There are Comment Headers for your use. If you want to write a scene, please use the IC Threads header. If you want a matchup set at Fight Club, please make a separate post.

Under OOC notes if you WANT us to roll for how injured your character is, please let us know and We'll give you a roll. D5: Minor Injuries (bruises, scrapes, etc), D8: Sprains, strains, wounds that need sutures, D12: Breaks. Mind you, if we roll a D12 you could just get from bruises up to breaks.

Remember, unless you have magic healing or heal fast by nature, you will have to deal with these injuries in real-time.

Sign ups are open for August. Sign up on the sheets by Tuesday August 6th.

Raelle, Pietro, and Rory

Raelle was actually doing pretty well and she had been proud of herself. Then, however, came the speedster and it was a new ability she had never come up against before. She liked challenges and so took it on, but he was fast and her spells didn't do well with fast-moving targets. That meant she had to do more hand-to-hand, which she was trained in, but even then - he was fast. So fast that she hadn't been able to anticipate the punch sent her way. She was already at a bad angle to receive it and then, for Raelle, things went bank.

From the outside perspective, her head swung around at a very unnatural degree and her body went limp. Technically, she was dead. She wouldn't stay that way though. Inside her body, The Mycelium was already beginning to fix the mistake of her death.

Fight night was something that Pietro enjoyed. It was something to make sure that would make sure his skills were honed. He's pretty sure, honestly, that he's been up against Raelle before. Even then she was someone that he knew from the network. Had they ever talked before? No, not that he's aware of.

After he'd delivered the punch his whole entire world seemed to just stop. Seemed to just stand still. Especially when her head swung at a very unnatural angle and her body went limp, her body going down. It causes the speedster's heart to stop practically and he's by her side in an instant.

There was no way that someone came back from that. How could they? He felt like he couldn't breathe and like he was inside of Baron Strucker's cell all over again. Kneeling beside Raelle he knows not to move her. This? It was a time that he wished his sister was there. Wanda would know exactly what to do. Know exactly how to handle a situation like this.

He does, however, know that he's not bound to participate in Fight Night for a little bit. Not if this could be the outcome of it. Even more so when he's never had anyone's death on his hands.

Rory supported Raelle and her desire to participate in Fight Club. She didn’t always come to cheer on her girlfriend, especially because she wouldn’t book time off work. But she had the night off and could support her aunt too.

The night had gone pretty typical. Though she’d laughed watching suit wearing vampire hand some giant of a dude with wings his ass. When Raelle’s latest match occurred, the half-angel made her way closer to yell encouragement. She knew how tough the speedster could be.

And then he hit Raelke and nobody’s neck should be at that angle. Ever. Rory went tearing for where Raelle lay. “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? GET AWAY FROM HER!” Her pink and black bladed wings spread out and she considered stabbing him. Rory didn’t know her girlfriend wouldn’t stay dead and she was panicking. Somewhere she thought she heard her aunt, but Rory didn’t care. Was that how it would go? Gain her father and lose her girlfriend?

Every time she died, she saw her mother. Or more accurately The Mycelium would take the form of her mother and talk to her. It was either cryptic words that Raelle couldn't begin understand or it was just thing like 'I miss you' and 'I love you'. It was kind of nice, to hear the words coming from someone who looked like her mom, but it was also unnerving too.

With a big gasp, Raelle's eyes flew open and she sat up almost involuntarily. It was always weird coming back from dying. Why she had been given this 'gift' she wasn't sure. She blinked and focused and it took her a second to remember what happened. Inwardly she swore. Not only because that sucked, but she felt terrible too. She saw Pietro's worried expression and then Rory's expression which could kill. "I'm okay." She said out loud probably to both of them. Her hand went up to rub her neck.

Pietro, honestly, was still trying not to panic. Trying to remember how to breathe. Of course, there was a younger woman that seemed to show up with pink and black bladed wings. That? It was new, even if his focus wasn't on her. If she did stab him then he wasn't bound to actively care.

He does, however, step back but not too far away. There was no way he could just leave someone laying there dead or leave someone to grieve alone. If Rory wanted to stab him or beat him then he wasn't bound to fight it.

He does not, however, expect to hear a gasp out of Raelle. Or see her eyes open before she sat up. Was it something the Dome did or something she had done? He didn't really know. It doesn't stop the panic from being there still either. "Are you sure that you're alright? You were..." The speedster didn't want to ask how she came back, it wasn't his business. All he knew is that she'd been dead.

Rory was most definitely still crying. She’d forgotten that her girlfriend wouldn’t stay dead and seeing Raelle sit upmade Rory start breathing hard in relief. Her anger towards Pietro didn’t completely dissipate, but it was way less.

“You. Just died. You JUST DIED.” Rory sounded frantic still, though she retracted her wings.

“What the actual fuck?”

It was always weird coming back, though never as weird as the first time. She exhaled again, but she felt fine. What wasn't fine was the panic in Rory's voice or the wariness in Pietro's expression. She stood up and reached to give Rory a big hug. "Sorry." She didn't say Not the first time because that wouldn't have gone over well. "I promise I'm fine." She said while still holding Rory.

She looked over to Pietro though and offered him a small smile she hoped was somehow reassuring. "I'm okay. It was a nice right hook." Rory was probably not going to enjoy that comment, but Raelle felt like she somehow needed to reassure the man that not only was she okay but she wasn't going to hold it against him.

The retracted wings do catch Pietro's attention and there's a part of him that wants to give a sigh of relief. Though, he still felt like he was trapped inside of the Baron's cell. Even if he knew that this wasn't some ploy done up by Hydra. It wasn't something that he had to worry about. Though it did make him miss his sister and being able to talk to her about any worries he might have. "I'm sorry." This was also to Rory just as much as it was to Raelle.

Those eyes do, however, stay on her and even though that smile was reassuring it didn't stop the inner panic. That? It would probably be there for a while. "You're a pretty good fighter yourself," he tells her. It was nice to know that she didn't hold it against him, but that didn't mean he wouldn't worry for a bit. Didn't mean he wouldn't take time off of Fight Night for a while either, he would need to in order to clear his head.

Rory pulled away from the rather nice hug to glare at Raelle. "Yes. By all means. Please compliment the right hook that broke your neck." She could hear her aunt in the background, but seemed appeased when Rory yelled, "It's fine Auntie Maze. She's fine."

She lost a little of the fight when both people apologized. "You're lucky she can come back from the dead." Rory hoped Death hadn't wasted her time showing up here. "You both looked good in the ring until you didn't." The half-angel stood. "Come on. We're going home." She looked at Pietro and her expression softened just a little. "You should talk to someone. That can't have been a great experience for you either." Which was about as nice as Rory felt like being. More than likely she was going to be in a bad mood about this for at least the rest of the night.

She offered her girlfriend a small apologetic look, but she wasn't sure how to try to make Pietro feel better. Raelle had had to kill people as part of the military and she knew how hard it was. While everyone in Fight Night agreed that injuries happen and it was dangerous, it was sometimes hard to remember that it could definitely happen.

"I should have been paying more attention too." She offered to both of them. Raelle was going to think about what happened in the ring over and over again in order to figure out how to never have it happen again. It was one of those learning opportunities, just with a very hard learning curve at the start.

She took Rory's hand and gave a nod. She wouldn't say no to going home. She felt a little bad for having caused so much drama when Lucifer had just arrived. Raelle leaned in and whispered "I love you" just to remind the other woman before pulling back.

Looking back at Pietro, she offered another small smile. "I can explain things later, if you want." Which was also her saying she wasn't going to avoid the man. "It's a story that requires some time to tell. For now, I'm going to go home with my girlfriend and make things up to her."

Pietro had never met Mazikeen, not that he can remember, when the woman was originally there. He'd been in the town for over two years now and he wasn't sure, honestly, who he had met and who he had anymore. Some he'd met in person and others he'd seen on the network. He also, of course, doesn't blame Rory for just wanting to get her girlfriend home. However, he gives a nod to Rory's words," I will, thank you." What he was thanking Rory for? Even he wasn't sure quite yet. Probably for not stabbing him or being overly angry with him, there was no telling.

He hears Raelle's words about paying more attention and, honestly, they probably both should have been paying more attention. "We both should have been." Sometimes he forgot his own strength and that wasn't an excuse. Even if he knew that Fight Night could result in very dangerous injuries. At the statement of explaining things later he gives a nod," I'd like that." For now, though, he'd probably head off somewhere to think. Then possibly find Lorna. She was, after all, like a sister to him and had been for some time.

This? It definitely wasn't something he was going to talk to Barry or any of the household about, not if he can help it.

Rory really could have done without the drama considering the arrival of her father. She nodded at the declaration of love. Obviously, Rory loved Raelle too and returned the whisper.

She let the pair finish their conversation. Once they walked away, she looked at Raelle. "You better mean more than sex." Because her heart was still racing.

Nikolai liked that he managed to make it through the first two rounds of Fight Club. He could watch some others and go say hi to Nina. First, though, the Ravkan needed a drink. Usually he'd order alcohol, but with how warm the building was, he ordered a club soda and cranberry juice.

He looked around and tried to spot anyone he knew, while he sipped his drink. The bubbles ensured he didn't drink too fast and make himself sick.

Sabine hadn't done quite as well as she had hoped that evening. She wasn't too upset about it, however. She knew she had room for improvement, especially when it came to the different kinds of people here. The different fighting styles, different abilities.

She had opted not to fight in the magic division, even though Rey and Anakin had. She wasn't as comfortable with her abilities with the Force as the two Jedi were. So she knew she would lose even more horribly in that division.

Sabine stepped up to the bar, and ordered a water. Just water. She didn't want alcohol just yet. ...maybe later. She was a little surprised when she felt Murley, the loth cat that had arrived with her, rubbing against her leg. "Can't leave you alone for five minutes, can I?" she asked him, and leaned down to scratch behind his ear.

Nikolai watched as a catish like creature greeted the young woman. Though whether she was human or not, he couldn't be sure. Not that such things mattered to him, not when he dated one of the most powerful Grisha in existence.

"Apparently not," Nikolai joked with a grin. "May I ask what kind of creature your companion is? We don't have those at home." As if an afterthought, he added, "I'm Nikolai."

"Hello, Nikolai," she said, with a small smile. "I'm Sabine. This is Murley. He's a loth-cat from the planet Lothal. He apparently decided I couldn't be trusted in Madison Valley alone, so he arrived here with me." Murley hadn't exactly been her cat back home, but he was now.

Whether he liked it or not.

"Where do you call home, then?" she asked, curious. "I have heard there are people from many different worlds here. Far different than my own."

"Nice to meet you, Sabine. And Murley." Nikolai didn't see cats who looked like this, but Murley seemed friendly. And Nikolai liked friendly animals. "Well, I'm glad you have your companion. I don't recognize the place name, but that isn't unusual here in this place."

He stretched. "Oh. Ravka. Which doesn't seem to be a place known by most here. Or, really, anyone not from my world. What is Lothal like?"

"...Lothal is shit," she said, honestly. "But it was home for a bit, so I can't really complain too much." Though she would, on occasion, complain about Lothal. "It wasn't Lothal's fault. The Empire took over and... kind of screwed the planet over."

She arched an eyebrow, "No, I can't say I have heard of Ravka. That's not too surprising. I haven't heard of a lot of places others here are from. Only places people from my world are from." For the most part.

And then Murley mewed and rubbed against Nikolai's leg. "Murley, you can't demand attention from everyone. How do you even know he likes you?"

Nikolai offered a cheeky grin at the shit comment. "Home isn't always the nicest place, but it's home. "The empire?" He had no idea what those words meant, though his mind did drift towards The Darkling.

"So we're both at a loss for most place names." Nikolai winked.

He bent down and offered his hand incase Murley wanted to brush against it. "We're already best friends," he joked.

"Home doesn't have to be nice. Home can be anywhere, really, as long as it has the people I consider family there." Lothal hadn't had Ezra there, or Ahsoka. It had just been a stopping point, really. She could make anywhere home if she had her friends there. "The Empire, yes," she said. Then she took a minute to figure out how to explain it best. "They promised to bring order to the galaxy, instead it was a harsh military regime. It was run by the Sith who... well. They devote themselves to the dark side of the Force. It was the path to true power, or something." She shrugged at this. "I was part of the Rebels. I trained to be Jedi. I wanted to overthrow the Empire."

She stopped talking after this. She decided she'd thrown enough information at the man.

"Careful with him, though," she warned. "He might be your best friend now, but he will turn on you quickly." Murley had likely turned on Sabine a dozen times already since they'd been in Madison Valley. However, he seemed to like Nikolai, and he rubbed against the man's hand.

"I couldn't agree more." Nikolai thought of home as wherever Zoya was; the twins and Genya. They were the people he thought of when he considered home. "Home is where family is. Which I think I've read on some bumper stickers too," he joked. "They sound...like someone in my past back home." He didn't tend to like thinking about the Darkling for obvious reasons.

He grinned. "I promise to be careful." Nikolai watched Murley and then added, "I don't recognize the word Jedi. My apologies."

"Jedi..." she started, before pausing to collect her thoughts. To decide how best to tell the man what a Jedi was. It meant different things to different people, but the meaning was the same, deep down. "They're the guardians of peace and justice. They can become attune to the Force and use lightsabers -- which are a sort of weapon. The Force is the energy that can connect all living things. There is also the Sith, who are more attune to the dark side of the Force. Anger, hatred."

As she spoke, she removed her lightsaber from her belt and placed it on the surface in front of them. "A lightsaber. My weapon."

She didn't turn it on, not just yet.

"I have trouble attuning myself to use the Force, however," she admitted. "Which is why I've been fighting in the non-magic category."

Huh. Nikolai rather liked the idea that Jedi were guardians of peace and justice. "I certainly learned something today." He smiled.

"What a fascinating weapon."

Her words caused him to frown. "Perhaps because of where you are?"
