*~ MINI-CONTEST ~*
Quote:
Taken aback by the offer, Variable stared cautiously at the offered 'contract'. Go home? Stay? Here, she was useless, there were no wars to fight, but it gave her a chance to live a somewhat normal life. Back home, she had her reputation, and she knew her skills could be used. On top of that, it sounded like this made it a bit harder to die. Or perhaps easier? And what would Seig and Zack want her to do?"Whiskey, please. Cheap stuff, not too strong." When it was poured, the vigilante raised it in a mock-toast. "Here's to a new life, eh?" Once it was downed, the contract was signed. No stranger to pain, Variable only grimaced at the strange sensation, able to tell somewhat what items tied to her aspects.
Her body was tied to the dogtags hanging around her neck. Fitting, she supposed - her body was military issue, in a way, so to have her military identification represent it, well... The dogtags were not something she ever removed from her person anyways. Force of habit, really, considering if a fellow soldier took them from her, they could claim her rank. Which would get them killed, should she know about it. That's why they were best taken from a dead man.
A silver cigarette lighter sitting in her pocket felt more important than it should have. Though she had taken it from a corpse and it bore no particular significance to her, her mind had been tied to it. Variable would admit she thought better when smoking, or staring into a campfire, or something of that nature. Fire and smoke were somewhat relaxing and exciting at the same time for her mind. Some would even argue there was a parallel between the element and the soldier - depending on how used, her mind was dangerous and destructive or useful and constructive, but generally she was always at risk of being chaotic and unpredictable. All it took was a click of the lighter...
The last was a bit more difficult to tell. In a pouch on her hip sat a simple deck of cards, and, curious, she pulled them out to inspect what had happened to them. Drawing from the top, Variable stared down at the ace of spades in her hand, only to be reminded of herself, of her entire past. The next was the king from the same suit, and all she saw was the russet-haired Rhyne, rifle at the ready and giving her the familiar scowl he did when she annoyed him. But it wasn't only that image, which was by far the most common one that came to mind when she thought of him. Every memory she had of him, from back when they were children playing chess, up to the look on his face when he realized her plan before her brother shot and killed her... Another card was the ever gentle Dante, who kept his friend from shooting her constantly, and yet another was her hopeless romantic brother Seig... Dizzy with the rush of memories and the emotions they brought, the deck was carefully put away.
Hopefully, her brothers would forgive her for not returning. Their world was better off without her there, and this contract could grant her some peace here. She could stop being the monster.

"Sadye," Lias said smoothly, the word rolling off his tongue. He took the seat beside her in a single smooth movement, adjusting the collar of his fine shirt. "I mean...someone with so much potential. There's such magic in you that it overwhelms me, and it's very...alluring." He was sincere, but there was he felt never a harm in flattery to win someone over to his side, providing he meant it.
Jeni leant forwards and coughed to clear her throat.
"Sadye, this is my...friend, Lias," she introduced. "Lias, Sadye is someone I thought you may want to meet. I explained what a find businessman you are and as it happens she is looking for some purpose to being here."
((*deer in headlights! deer in headlights!* xd ))
Sadye was looking slightly trapped, even though she was trying to put her best face forward. After all, Jeni had been nice enough, she should give her friend a little benefit of doubt right? "I...err...thanks, cutter..Lias?" She almost opened her mouth to say 'It's really not what you think though. I'm just a simple tanar'ling', but the prospect of a business transaction closed her mouth. Well she did need some money, could she turn this to her favor?
If she relaxed it was only a hair, but there was a spark of interest as she asked, "So...uh... what kinda business are we talkin', cutter?"

Will this round not have runners-up then?
Will this round not have runners-up then?
If anyone drops out on the first reply, yes smile It doesnt require knowing ahead of time though, so it will be ok.
In the previous rounds you have announced runners-up in order.
You didn't this time so... Part of me wants to know and part of me doesn't. blaugh
Like are the 5 runners-up not listed because each is back-up for a different faction?
Or did you just forget or...?
So here's my thoughts: Not only did I not qualify for the finals,
but in so doing I'm now excluded from participating in the final round.
In the previous rounds info was available for those who didn't make it.
We were still able to play along even though we weren't in the running.
I can theorize why the factions info is PMed vs posted but at the same time...
It's a little frustrating. biggrin
Hope you don't mind my feedback. ^^;

I don't think it will be possible to participate in this round if you're not a finalist, unfortunatly! The format will I think be a little different. :3
