Spellbound Bookworms VS Lunar Tides

[Felix]

Alright ladies and gents, the Kingdom Duet Cup is on and the first match will be the Spellbound Bookworms versus the Lunar Tides! The battle begins now and the setting will be the Olympus Coliseum as seen in Kingdom Hearts I! A barrier will surround the arena to protect spectators from any stray attacks. The posting order will be Selena, Loomy, Aqua, Zexion and as of this posting at 9:45PM Central Time, Selena has 3 days to start this fight off with her post. If you need a refresher on the rules, please go here. With all that aside...

Let the Kingdom Duet Cup... BEGIN!

This world never ceased to amuse her.

"Hey Ladies! You're up!"

'Artemis' who had once again been leaning against a wall slowly nodded at the little goat man in appreciation for the head's up and glanced at her partner before heading out the door to the coliseum stadium. The dark keybearer hoped that her partner was following right behind her.

Hearing the crowd cheer, the winged woman stepped out of shadows and onto the stadium. Realizing that she was chuckling under her breath due to the positive attention they were getting, the dark keybearer startled herself. Don't become a giddy girl now Selena...mused the winged woman, feeling confident as she summoned her Heartsickness keyblade to her right hand. She smirked as the already-cheering crowd roared.

"Give it up for Selena Wolfsong and Master Aqua of Lunar Tides!"

Selena froze in mid-flinch as her true name was spoken. She had not heard her real name spoken aloud (With the exception of her own memories.) in such a long time that it almost sounded foreign to her. The dark keybearer had painfully associated the name with her younger self and the life she had unintentionally escaped from.

Remembering her partner, the dark keybearer knew that she was not going to take this lightly. (Excuse the pun.) As Selena ran her free hand through her hair, the smirk was replaced by a frown and she mentally shook herself out of shock. I must've written my true name by accident due to the excitement...mentally despaired the dark keybearer, And I'm usually so careful about it too...I can't let this ruin our chance for winning the tournament...

The winged keybearer sighed. "We can talk about this later..."states dark keybearer calmly to herself and Aqua as she started to recover from the shock, "After we kick their bums and win the tournament." Selena truly did not want their chance of winning the tournament squandered because of a lie that had finally started to unravel itself. Despite this mishap, the dark keybearer was still going to give her all in this tournament and she depended on her partner's support whether Aqua was aware of it or not.

But as horrible as it sounds, Selena also depended on the action and the adrenaline from tournament itself to mess with her partner's memories for this particular round because it's really hard to remember something important when there's sweat in the brain. The winged woman honestly wants her partner, herself, and whoever her opponents may be to forget that they had ever heard her true name announced in the tournament.

((OOC: x.x So hard to post around the fact that your character is aware that their partner is there without gmodding.))

[Loomy]

“You’re up, ladies!”

An irritated sound rumbled from somewhere just beneath the elven woman’s collarbone as she bit back an annoyed correction. Her partner was obviously male. A centaur raised his bushy eyebrows and his hooves scuffed the packed earth as he took a step back to allow them passage to the sandy arena.

For a moment, the sunlight blinded her, and she was deafened by the sudden noise of an audience surrounding her. Loomy worried for a second that she would be too dazed by the surroundings to actually compete. While fighting wasn’t her thing, stubbornness was, and she wasn’t going to walk off this field unless she lost honestly..

”Give it up for Selena Wolfsong and Master Aqua of Lunar Tides! And across the arena, Fay Eldridge and Zexion the Cloaked Schemer of team Spellbound Bookworms!”

An irritated twitch formed somewhere beneath Fay’s unseen left eye. For one, she didn’t exactly recall signing up for something quite like this, and for another, she was quite positive that someone had been making fun of them when their team was named. And for another thing... ”Didn’t I specifically require for them not to list my name?”

She strode to the arena where the dark woman with the giant key stood and nodded briefly at her opponent.

She hoped Zexion was ready... because she didn’t think she was.

It has been 72 hours since the last post and Aqua has not asked for an extension and will therefore be disqualified. Spellbound Bookworms will now proceed to the next round by default and Aqua will be banned from participating in the next tournament.
