╔════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ After finishing with her registration form Mitsukai realized that someone had approached her. "Wait what?" she said in reply to his greeting, before bursting out in laughter. It took her a moment to calm down but after a moment she was able to mostly regain her composure, "Sorry, that was just.." she stopped in the middle of her sentence, giggling again. It probably wasn't nearly as funny as she was making it out to be but at least she had calmed down a little bit. She tried again, "Sorry, again. That was just really funny." It seemed that her laughter had finally subsided, good.
Mitsukai hadn't been able to understand much of what the young man had said, but what she did get out of it was that he had asked if she wanted to be on his team. While he seemed a bit odd Mitsukai did need a team so she figured, why not? "Well Pretty Girl, Considering you don't mind my lack of dodging skills I don't see why we can't be teammates," she decided. She could only hope his speaking skills would improve as the day went on. ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

"Okay" The man replied as his wife went over to sign them up. Leaving him to wait for the competition to start with his daughter. He looked around once again, this time in search of his oldest. Reed was of course a bit upset of the thought of Erika being an opponent. However, he had his other two ladies to take care of this time. Especially his little princess next to him. He had to make sure she was having fun! Reed put his hand on the back of Brooke's neck and smiled, "We'll show Erika what she's messing with." Even if she was his daughter, that didn't mean he'd go easy on her. It was just a game after all. And despite her looks and attitude, Erika was no damsel in distress. Of course, Reed wouldn't dare throw a tomato at her until he absolutely had to! Attacking his daughter in cold blood right from the start... He wasn't some sort of barbarian. Besides, it would be nice to see Erika, Will, and Peter win. They were a fun group after all. Reed stood making small talk with his daughter until things got started. It didn't like to long of a wait until it did.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Erika was already fed up with all of this! Especially after that last pimple comment from Will! "Shut up!" She snapped. Why did he have to be so energetic all the time. Sure, normally that was one of the boy's more fun traits a lot of the time, but when the blonde was already this annoyed, it just added fuel to the flame. And Peter... "Peter don't be such a push over!" Now these were words that a long time ago, little Erika would never speak. However, now as an adult, she wasn't the type to go along with her friends stupidity (though really it was just a normal event for friends). Where as Peter was still so easily persuaded. Of course she used her 'cousin' like that often as well. Always trying to pressure him into helping her with school. But, that was different! Erika didn't know why, but it was! Yet, instead of continuing to snap at the two, the girl just sighed and crossed her arms. "Whatever, lets just get this over with..." She gave in, looking towards her father's direction. At least she could just throw tomatoes at her oh so smug little sister...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jez, let it go..." June immediately responded as he removed his hands from her, "I was just a kid." Though of course if the time came, he would use her as a shield regardless. But, for now he was going to humor her. As long as he won... Well if he won that's all that really mattered. Yuri got mad at him all the time. He could suck it up if she stopped talking to him for awhile. She always came back after all. Winning this contest was more important anyway. After losing so many times, the blonde was just dying to win. And this year he would do it! He sighed and tugged gently on the back of the woman's hair, "If we win I'll reward you." He had no idea what it would be. But, if he managed to win, he wouldn't mind doing something nice for her. Especially if she's sacrificed for the greater good. He unclasped the lock he grabbed onto and turned around. Scooping out the rest of the competition. And of course, Mac continued to try to recover on the nearby bench, hoping that he wouldn't throw up during the contest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Avian was still overly excited for the contest. And of course, Popcorn's speeches were making him even more riled up. "Of course we will!" He echoed Finnian. He wasn't going to let her get hit! As a defender of justice, the man could easily defend a poor damsel. That's what his job was! Though, he couldn't let it slip that he was in fact, a super hero! That's why he winked back to Finnian, a sign that they were protecting their secret. Then he turned to Popcorn with his goofy smile, "We're friends after all!" It had been a couple years since Avi had become close with Finnian and Popcorn. Thanks to meeting Elliot those couple of times, the man was able to make some good friends. And, become part of the most incredible team of the island's defenders. If he couldn't complete his mission today, then he wasn't fit for either! He would have to pack up his chicken costume and stay in solitude at his ranch. Of course he would hate to have to... Yet, there is no more suitable punishment for such a pathetic outcome for the festival.

Time was running out and it was soon time to start the festival. However, Yoakim could see that some people were still singing up, mainly, Blaire. He walked toward the booth where his sister-in-law was standing, failing to notice the tiny girl standing on the opposite side of it. ”Good Day, Blaire. How’s Reed? And Brook? You and your family are teaming up? I’m sorry, I wish I had time to stay and chat, but, I’m rather busy. Just fill the paper here and… who’s that?” He stopped in his speech, finally noticing Maxine who had been staring at them both. He looked at Blaire for a moment, actually pondering if it would have been possible that the woman had one more child he thought she did, but quickly dismissed that idea. The girl was obviously older than ten years and he knew, for having lived with Blaire back then, that she hadn’t been pregnant. It would have shown.
”…who are you?” He asked the little girl, leaving Blaire to finish filling in the form.
“…”
”…”
”…Max…ine…”
”Are you… Looking for someone…Maxine?”
“…”
”…”
“…”
”… You can answer me, you know…”
”…want… team.”
Well, there you go. It only took a good five minutes of awkward silence for her to admit that shee wanted to join a team for the festival. Seeing how good she was with people, Yoakim knew imidiatly that she wouldn’t find anything and, as the Town Representative, it fell on him to find her some team mates. At first, he thought of just asking Blaire, who was still dealing with the forms, but then he remembered that she had three persons in her team already, or so he figured out, considering they were a family of four. In the end, it would mean more work for him. Oh well, it came with the job description. He grabbed the sheets for the people looking for partners. There only were one girl on it who was looking for someone and she would have to do it.
He walked toward Mitsukai and Chucky all while pushing Maxine, for he didn’t trust her to follow him by herself. As he arrived in front of the two, he gave a little push behind Maxine to make her walk forward. ”You’re Mitsukai, right? You were looking for a partner? This is Maxine. She Is also looking for one… sort of… Anyway, here you go. You three are now a team. Have fun.” There, problem resolved.
Maxine stood there, long after Yoakim was gone, simply staring at Chuky and Mitsukai. Was she suppose to say something to them? She wasn’t sure… all she knew was that they were now a team, or at least, that’s what she believed. Maybe they weren’t… Maybe they were… But she didn’t like that team. The girl’s aura was Yellow.. So much Yellow. She didn’t like yellow. It was too bight of a colour. As for the guy, his aura was so pale, she could almost forget he was there. Worst than everything, she was now standing in the middle of the town square. There wasn’t even a single corner or booth or anything that she liked! So, she returned to what she did best, ignoring the two people she had been teamed with and was now looking at her feet. Yeah. She had pretty feet. She liked them.
As for Yoakim, he returned to the judge booth to finish putting in order the teams information. If someone wanted to join or form a team, it was now or never, for the festival was just about to start. And once it started, it was too late to join in, even if you were sitting right in the middle of it.

TOMATO FIGHT: START.ELIMINATION ROUND There, now that everything had been set in order and everyone was now fully registered, it was time to start the festival. Without waiting a moment, Yoakim went over to both and started the alarm singling the start of the festival. It was loud enough for everyone close to the town square to hear it. Of course, it didn’t take long for everyone in the square to grab their tomatoes before starting throwing them, but, just before said tomato could be thrown, a quite peculiar laugh made itself hear. But where was it coming from? Was it from the left? The right? Under? Over? Yes! It came from the sky! Something was shining and laughing in the sky! A laugh in the sky with diamonds! Or something… No, it was something even more terrifying than that! It was….
A Giant Robot piloted by Lotte! (and Rory and Ray, but they aren’t important). After years of losing the Tomato Festival, she had had enough of it. For the last five years, she had done nothing but to work on creating that ultimate weapon of Tomato Throwing! Ah! No one would be able to beat her now! Mwahahahaha! Without wasiting a moment, the robot’s arm changed into two large tomato-gun and just fired away!
Poor soul of whomever was in it’s trajectory….

YES! YES! TAKE THAT! Lotte was sure to win! Time for the second round of tomatoes… which… wasn’t happening. In fact, the whole robot wasn’t moving anymore! ”Minion#1! Minion#2! WHY ISN’T THE ROBOT WORKING! WHAT DID YOU TWO DO?” Oh, Lotte. Forgetting to take into account that the tomato goo would stick in the gears and practically self destruct the robot… she should have thought about that before.

Truth to be told, Yoakim wasn't quite sure if piloting a giant robot actually was allowed to the festival, but it wasn't like he had any time to ponder the question. Before he could ever protest about it, the Robot's arms had became giant canons and had started to shoot tomatoes faster and stronger than any human being could ever hope to achieve... with the exception, perhaps, or Lorenzo Cantata... if he was still alive, that is. Yoakim would have loved very much to disqualify Lotte and her two goons, but before he had the time to get even near the giant tomato throwing robot, he received a tomate right on his forehead, soon followed by a second one, then a third one and soon enough, a three hundred and seventy two- one. Sufficed to say that the man was now knocked unconscious and buried under a rather large pile of tomato goo....
[Yoakim Eliminated.... not that he ever was in the competition.]

As Romane was about to reply to Constantine and, most likely, instruct Mimi to focus on the festival as it was starting, the woman was stilled by the most hideous set of maniacal laughter she had ever seen. Her brows shot up as she turned to see what Lotte had brought, her mind frantic as she tried to figure out what exactly that was and whether or not she really was crazy, as she had been accused so many times before. But, no, the little blonde girl had come in with an unauthorized weapon. Highly destructive, dangerous, and firing bullets! She didn't have much time to react as she saw the representative go down and, in a moment of panic, she jumped ontop of Mimi to protect the younger girl from anything hitting her. Was this allowed in the contest? She didn't know or really care right then, her focus on whether or not Julian was alright while that thing was rampaging about.10/10

When Eet had approached John, his entire attention span was placed on it, talking, asking questions, taking said questions back, and offering tomatoes to his pet or whatever it was – it was fun feeding Eet! Even when the machine came into the town square, the boy hadn't noticed a thing and, instead, was busy asking if Eet liked his shirt. Again. Just in case it was just pretending to make him feel good. He wasn't ever sure with people and – oh, tomato! He paled some as he somehow managed to catch some NPC get hit, realizing a little late that the festival had begun. He didn't have time to give Eet any indication of their totally nonexistent plans as he just tried to move out of the way before anything hit him.

..Well.. John frowned as he stood, looking over the smashed bits of tomato smothering his clothing - Lotte's machine really had gone all out. He looked to make sure Eet was okay, then glanced around to make sure no one else had gotten hurt, and only then did he wince as he was sure that some of those tomatoes were a little unripe.. Oh, well, he took comfort in the fact that if he got hit, that meant less tomatoes to hit others. He was fine with that thought, even if his back really ached right then.. Ahh, going to sleep was going to be a problem.. He would just have to let Eet borrow his bed or some stray dog while he was restless, he guessed. No point in him keeping it and, hey, he go to help someone! In the meantime, he handed the rest of his tomatoes to Eet, apologized about a dozen times, and then left to the sidelines to watch.

Brooke was a happy girl at the moment. Finally, time with her dad, the two of them talking and spending the day together. Erika was going down! So were the rest of them! All right a bit ambitious but, she could dream, couldn't she? ...Then... it was heard. A laugh that had the girl look around confused. But the laugh wasn't the problem, it was the contraption that befell the event. No one had a chance to react, merely blink at whatever was going on. Unfortunately for Brooke... she wasn't facing the robot directly, so she didn't see it coming... what was heading her way. When she did notice... well there wasn't much time to do anything.

While her mother was probably whispering an 'Oh crap' in the background, and Reed... well she didn't know what her father was going to do. She just knew like five tomatoes hit her. And it hurt... and she was seeing red, literally. So merely blinking, and biting her lip at that small feeling to cry. Oh not because she was out, well that was part of it... She didn't get to hit Erika with a tomato. It was something she had really been looking forward to... and the fact that those tomatoes really hurt... Which left the girl gloomily stepping to the sidelines... covered in tomato goo.

Riley was ready to get this shin-dig started. Which meant that he was already holding his tomatoes and readying his arm for fire. Sure, his victims were all picked completely at random. Sure, he felt a bit bad for the fact that he was aiming his first tomato of the night at a boy. But, did that matter? No. No, it didn't. He raised his arm in the manliest, sexiest, beastliest post he could manage and flung the tomato with the force of about twelve adorable kittens. Yeah. That kid had that much coming right at him. Poor Wilhelm Leblanc. Maybe he could try again next year. Riley had been so into the zone that once he let the tomato go, he noticed something very peculiar. "Conor. Am I tripping something awful. Or is there a big ******** robot coming this way?" It was enough to make him tilt his sunglasses down to get a better look. Surely that wasn't real. He had passed out from lack of sleep. Man, he felt bad for Conor, he'd have to play alone.14/15

He stood up from where he had been sitting and walked next to Morgan and Ed who had also survived the massacre. "So... we have to do this, uh?", he said with a bored voice as he looked around. Such a pain. And everything would be so dirty. Oh god... he didn't want to have to wash tomato out of his clothes. Laundry was boring! That's why John was the one ususally doing it.... Well, he could always remove his shirt and fold it and place ti somewhere safe. Yes. He would do just that. He slowly unbuttoned his shirt, not caring for any of the tomatoes flying around him. When all the buttons were unmade, he removed it with one swift movement, exposing his chest and abs, as the sun made his hair shine and shimmer on his body. He put his shirt in a random plastic bag found on the floor and placed it under the table. There. It wouldn't get dirty. Talking about dirty... "Ed... You have some tomato in your hair... let me." He took one step closer of Ed, both of them standing right behind Morgan who was doing... Morgan things. He placed his right hand on Ed's shoulder as his left one went to his hair to remove the small bit of tomato. Yes, he didn't care at all about throwing anyone of them. He was too busy doing important stuff. Like being Sexy. Like being an.. Adonis.
