(Flame, Lum) As Lumbre looks to her empty bottle, she soon finds a new, full bottle sat in front of her. She looks up to see Dom, the chiseled and tattooed chest of the Band privateer only obscured by his sheath holster, and the man giving her a smirk, "Hi there hot stuff. Saw you was lookin for a drink, and lucky for ya I'm happy to provide."

(Flame, Des) Baku sighs, "Ya make tha umpteenth person ta suggest somethin be done 'bout members like Marcus an tha others ma'am."
He crouches down, trying and failing to lower himself to the mosquito's standing height compared to himself, "Thing is, that'd kinda ruin tha purpose of tha Hunt. Sure, tha prize is good, but in tha end tha whole thang is made ta help everybuddy that fights in it ta get stronger."
He smirks, "Ya yerself did quite well, makin an enemy of tha ol' timer Marcus an gettin away. Ya can't tell meh ya ain't learn nothin, even if it's lil stuff like posistionin and coordination with yer team."
He then stands, "Another thang is a dampinin field'd take away from tha energies tha Magic Items used in tha match could gain, an they wouldn't stand fer that..."
Penelope suddenly appears, the Cait Sith climbing up onto Baku's shoulder, "The best we can think of is to separate entrnyats based on purrwer level, then split teams evenly across the scyale. We did nyot before, because it puts a target on some unfairly, but it seems nyecessary nyow."

(Rix) Reby smirks, "So Forjie, what'd ya plan to do for fun at this party?"

(Xin) Clarabelle sighs, forcing herself to hold in a snicker at the image of the centaur clown as she speaks. "It sounds like you had a really rough day."
She then clears her throat, looking to Dravela, "Even still we watched your stand in round two, and it was quite impressive the entire time. Sadly I missed the Third myself, so what happened between you and Arianna? She seemed pretty animated about it when she was telling Garrett and Dala of it."
