The way he'd silenced her made the moment worth it, and he grinned up at her, in an expression he hadn't been able to manage for a long time. It looked right on him, like a long lost friend. He felt it warm him somewhere deep down inside; just the fact that he could smile again, and mean it. It was a part of him that had grown used to the cold, but remembered a time when it was always warm. And it filled him with wonder to know he could still do it. All that, just because he could smile. "What, this old thing?" He held up the scarf, posing with it. "Nah, I didn't fight Lucky. He was at my match with Ofelia, and gave me this to clean up. Now I told him not to, told him he was wasting a perfectly good scarf, but you know how he is lately." His smile turned into a suspicious smirk. "I know you guys are having those brother-sister brawls, but deep down I know you both care about each other. You should talk to him. Maybe work things out." He ran his hands through his hair, squeezing the water out. "I'm going to the next round, unfortunately. I wanted to lose, I already missed watching you once. Now I gotta miss it again."

How incredibly disappointing. It was as Mimsy suspected - the scarf did belong to Lucky, and he had used it to do something suspiciously close to 'involving' himself. Without asking. "Charming." She hastily released the scarf and wiped her palms on her coat. "I think that you may be correct. I should speak with him. We are having some difficulty remaining on the same page." Frowning, she removed her glasses to clean them on her own (untainted) scarf. "I have a tendency to read ahead. Metaphorically and literally." With a wry smile, she put her glasses back on and straightened up, slowly stretching. Moving was not the most enticing of activities right now, but she had no desire to sit here forever. "Please don't be foolish for the sake of sentimentality. I will watch your match, and you will be the victor again." She reached to pat him on the cheek, willing herself to avoid looking at that awful green scarf. "Okay?"

As far as Robert was concerned, the fact that Mimsy agreed to talk to Lucky meant nothing but good things. So he sighed, a great big sigh of satisfaction, and watched her stretch. How long had she just been sitting here? He didn't even have the time to wonder about it, as her hand touched his cheek, and her words sunk sadly into his heart. She was going to watch his match, that meant- It meant she wasn't fighting anymore. And that made him so inexplicably sad. He was supposed to lose, and she was supposed to triumph over everyone. That was the natural order of things. He didn't like ******** with the natural order. It left him feeling disoriented, and unsure of his next move. His hand reached out and pressed the back of the one on his cheek, trapping it there. Her skin felt cold on his. "It's gonna be real embarrassing when I prove you wrong and fall flat on my face." He chuckled out. "But okay. You're on."

A storm was thundering off the coast. It was dark on the horizon but it would be a while before it reached the island. It did mean that the wind was picking up and Bix had put on some sort of headband to keep his hair back as he got up with his megaphone and Vanna-Whited at the bracket boards. "Looks like all this battling has brewed up a storm.." He laughed like it was a horrible flopped joke, "So okay the first round is OVERRRRR! Take a gander at our winners here.." Wave wave. Some smart a** from Death had picked up a blank piece of cardboard, written ROUND 2 on it, and pranced by like a ring girl. There was a rise of laughter from those standing around. Bix only made an unamused face (cause why couldn't that be his idea?). "ROUND TWO IS BEGINNING!! Looks like its.." he squinted up at the sky, still sunny but getting slowly darker and it was drizzling, "gonna drizzle, but whats a bit of drizzle when you're whoopin a**? So get back out there!!" ROUND TWO HAS BEGUN!

His hand on hers made Mimsy's fingers twitch - she left it there, a matter of principal and encouragement. "Yes, I imagine that would be embarrassing if it happened. But it will not." It was meant to be playful, but her eyes were awfully stern for it to look like a joke. "I don't make impossible claims." There was an announcement of the next round, and a mention of a storm that could make things interesting. That was not something she would choose to initiate combat in. Unless she ran into Lucky. "Go on." She nodded towards the bracket board. "Prove me right."

Robert breathed in the confidence that she had in him, and let it convince him, for just one second, that he was invincible. He stood up when the announcement was made, letting her hand go to look at the who and where.
"Well, all right." He muttered, turning back to her with a mischievous smile. "But only because I'm starting to like what happens when I prove you right."
He looked like he was going to move out, but he turned back, and did something he knew she wasn't going to like. He wrapped her up with one arm, intent on pressing her in a warm hug.
"For luck." He explained, letting her go as soon as he'd gotten his fill, and jogged away before she had a chance to say another word.

Bix looked up as the wind ripped across the island. The rain had stopped for the moment but the sky was getting darker by second. Instead of looking concerned, Bix looked a bit excited. Perhaps he was tired.. or the responsibility was getting to him. Perhaps he was drunk with power. Up came the megaphone and he was grinning. Lightning struck out over the ocean behind him and it made him laugh a bit. "ALRIGHT KIDS ITS GETTING CRAZY OUT HERE. Trainees are still grinding away but it looks like there's a storm a-blowin. Moving this show along we have our HUNTER SEMI-FINALS!!" The bracket board was spun, now only showing the semifinal bracket and the empty finals slots. They were printed large and neat. "GET OUT THERE AND LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT! Should be some exciting s**t!"

'We're almost there!!" Bix yelled into his megaphone which was then almost snatched by the wind. He literally snatched it back as soon as it floated an inch from him. "Storm's coming...... AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE WEATHER... " He laughed alone. "CHECK OUT THE THIRD PLACES MATCHES TO WHET YOUR APPETITES FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIPS!"

The wind was whipping and it was not only dusk, but the storm was bearing down on them with gusting winds. Simultaneously the bracket boards were spun to show two of the championship matches. Bix stood between them like a maniac and screamed to the sky, "EVERYONE GETS MUDPIIIT!"

The weather had gotten so bad that Bix wasn't even able to properly end the last few fights. He merely waved them all hurriedly towards the common area as the sky darkened and fat drops of rain began to come down on them. The dry-erase boards were all spun around with winners listed in big black letters. "Thanks everyone for coming out and participating! I know some people have already gone back to wash off.." The table in front of him was piled with stuff and covered with a table cloth. "It was an awesome day of fights!! Everyone kicked major a** but in the end we had winners in every division and no dropouts!" After a pause and a crackled of lightning above them, Bix yanked the cloth off the table. There were piles of supplies on the table, each crowned with a reverse pendant and some runes. "In the Trainee Division we had AL slip in as our third place winner!" Clapping happened. "And with a crazy good match Jack pulled off second and our CHAMPION WAS INFINITY!!!" Each was directed to a pile of goods, and Infi's of course was the largest. "In the Intermediate division Sherry came in under the radar with third place, Jason our lady killer came in second and the unsinkable miss MOLLY was our champion!!" A fierce lightning bolt hit not far off the coast and some of the hunters even jumped or ducked in surprise. People were already running for the buildings. "And last but definitely not least.. the HUNTER division. Robert powered through to a third place win, and my two best bros.. Gale came in second and BEFORE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!" Thunder rumbled again and the rain suddenly started to come down. "OK OK.. GET YOUR CRAP AND LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!!"  Quote: THANKS SO MUCH FOR PARTICIPATING!! ALL PARTICIPANTS: Please post a reaction to the ending of the tourney and please quote Lilwolfpard with your minis sn. Everyone will recieve a special minipet for participating! 1st place winners: You each recieve an IC prize pack for your wins!

She had been skeptical about coming to hear the final results for all the brackets. But she also wanted to see who had won each one! So, she'd held off on going to wash off all the mud, scowling up at the sky, and made her way over to hear the final results.
And to give Bix a look she knows it was you that put her in the mud again.
She may have ducked down a bit at the thunder, waiting only long enough for Bix to direct the winners towards their piles and congratulate the others with a quick pat on the shoulder or flash of a grin. Fini didn't really bother to look in her bundle because goddamnit it was starting to rain and she just wanted to go clean up and... she was so done.
Gathering her stuff up, Fini blew a kiss towards Bix in thanks and fled to get out of the storm. iloveyouDIE THANK YOU BBY THIS WAS FUUUUN! <3333
