Satoshi happily nodded glancing down at her key to check the door number of their room "Yeah you did say you would be nice but do you think we could clear a space? some of the things looked like they were fixed in... I guess if they are we can always practice outside round the back. this is ours coming up now" she answered turning him into the right area.
Felina turned slightly read but lowered her head to think over who was to be staying where "Hey don't laugh, we at least remember where the places are and a lot of time has passed since then. Lets see.... yeah you two got the inn and you 3 guys get a nice hotel hotel which I think you'll like" she recalled shuffling a little while she waited for movement.
Hayate rolled his eye at Alpha pretending to ignore his comment "Don't worry if you can't remember it exactly, you will probably remember a bit better when you return to the places you got us booked into. But lead the way please, I'm getting tired already although I don't know why" he said smiling at them.
Yusti raised her eyebrow at Mari surprised by her questions "Of course theres a second prize silly didn't you read any of the information on the tournament? Or are you one of those people who only accepts first place? I must say I am curious about your motives for entering the competition" she admitted hoping she hadn't offended Mari

Gil smiled "I'm not gonna be waving the swords all over the place, we can practice a little though tommorow you may wanna rely on your manouverability since there will be a big arena to move in" he said.
Oassu nodded "Yeah so don't worry we'll get you there, big city I didn't exactly stop to check street names" he shrugged "But theres only one double bed so one of you will have to take the floor, sorry but we were here on the last day before the tournament" he shrugged.
Mari shook her head "Why so curious? Isn't the gambler's spirit a good prize? Plus it sounded like fun participating in a competition on a scale like this" she said happily
Itaka grinned kissing Seph on the shoulder and stroking her sides "I hope your not too tired out yet" he said placing the bottle of wine by the jacuzzi before stripping down and climbing in "Mmm it's good but how do we turn the bubbles on?" he asked.
Zadina shook his head "No you can share if you like I'd hate to be responsible for your discomfort miss Hebal" he said not wanting Hebal to uncomfortable.

Hebal grinned and patted Oassu and Zadina on the shoulder "It's ok Oassu, you did your best getting us rooms and I curling up really isn't that uncomfortable you know Zadina, you've just got to get used to it and I am kinda since I sleep in a funny position anyway" she reassured him doing a series of star jumps unable to keep herself entertained with the lack of activity.
Alpha nodded his head then cleared his throat "In that case I'll sleep on the floor, I'm the largest of the three of us so you two will be able to have more room" he volunteered glancing up at a chatty group of gria flying a dozen feet above their heads. "I'm just glad I won't be in the airship tonight since it's starting to smell since the moogles started on it"
Seph paused reading the instructions on the wall as to how to work the facilities "Let's see, it says first you have to let the water fill up which it aleady has, then theres a red button on the side that you press which starts the bubbles but may take a minute to get to full power" she instructed pressing the button described down then dived in making a big splash "I dunno, if I do feel too tired out I'll let you know" she smiled poking her head out of the water.

Satoshi hopped up the steps to their quarters quickly unlocking the door so she wouldn't have to wait long for training "Yeah I guessed I would have to depend on that tomorrow. Not that it's a particulaly big problem, I suck at blocking anyway" she shrugged hopping inside and looked around to see what could be moved "Come help me shove the bed in the corner" she requested.
Felina smiled turning around to show her friends the way to the inn "This way guys, the first place really isn't far from here" she told them stepping back onto the esculator "I don't know about you Oassu but I could do with a good rest tonight once we have some idea of what we are going to do tomorrow... if we go and see the matches I might be able to get us into the VIP areas" she siddenly realised.
Hayate chuckled patting Alpha on the shoulder "It doesn't smell that bad inside does it? If so what have they been doing to make it smell so bad? Anyway I don't mind sleeping on the sloor either. Your not that bad size ways and you don't want to do your back in at your age" he smirked stepping back onto the esculator somewhat reluctantly.
Yusti paused leading Mari forwards "Yeah it's a good prize but... you never really struck me as all that into the competition. I mean you know nothing about the basics of the tournament and haven't even done any research as to what the prizes are with the exception of the first prize. Which makes me believe if my theory is correct, you are only competing here because you need the item for something" she guessed coming to a stop at her room "This one is yours anyway"

Gil nodded pushing the bed into the corner "There that should do us for space if you want to practice tonight." he said stretching "So what do you feel up to learning tonight?" he asked.
Oassu raised an eyebrow "How do you plan to do that but sure we'll rest tonight, it's not like I can do much out on the town with my arm like this anyway some sleep would be fine" he said.
Barbaros frowned "I dunno why it'd smell sure moogles can stink a bit if their fur is wet but we've had clear skies so far" he shrugged "You two can fight over the floor cause I'm taking the bed" he yawned.
Zadina giggled "Ok ok you can curl up at the bottom of the bed like a kitty" he said patting Hebal's ears happily before imitating Hebal "I'm ready to go too!" he insisted.
Itaka laughed pouring them both a glass of wine as the bubbles started "Well here we go then," he said handing her her wine and stroking her wet hair "It feels good just to relax here...." he sighed happily as the bubbles kicked into full strength

Hebal grinned swinging Zadina up off his feet and back onto her shoulders "Hehe I'm not like a kitty silly, I bet one of those couldn't do what I just did to you because it would need super strength plus a thumb is really useful to have" she pointed out carrying him forward after the others.
Alpha snickered hearing the input from Barbaros "Fine have the floor but don't start complaining if the floor is too hard. The airship smells at the moment because all the wall paper has been stripped and the doors have been painted which is the main cause of the smell. Personally I can't stand the smell of wet paint" he explained shuddering slightly.
Seph nodded swimming to one of the other sides so she could spread out "Yeah it's quite nice here, somehow I think I am going to enjoy staying in this place when not fighting people. But you know, we will have to be by the main enterance by 9.45 tomorrow to check out when our first match will be held, thats when the boards get changed according to what was written on one of the walls" she remembered to tell him removing her armor then diving back under the water thinking she may have found something that had been dropped at the bottom.

Felina smiled putting her arm around Oassu "Yeah you can apply for a VIP pass and then once you have filled out the form they will let you into all these special areas if they think you are important enough. It's like that with most arenas and stadiums those areas tend to have the best seats in the place" she explained rubbing her hands together.
Satoshi paused sitting down on the bed to think "Let me see... I could do with an offensive move, preferably one that can take down an opponant quickly and could work one somebody with multiple blades" she suggested unsure whether she was asking for too much. "I know pleanty moves with a sword but nothing too powerful but if it's too much I can try something else"
Hayate smiled peering over the side watching the gria and moogles flying below them "Why would I complain about the floor, I'm not some pansy you know. Paint is hardly a bad smell once you get used to it plus theres nothing stopping you from trapping it all in by shutting the trap door. I don't think wet moogles smell particulally bad either"

Oassu chuckled "I guess you being royalty and all can get all those nice little benefits but this way everyone" he called leading them up the escalators "But I'll leave all the form filling out to you ok?" he said.
Gil smiled "Alright then, I was trained to wield one sword first so I should be able to teach you a few things." he said opening the cupboard and picking out two hollow steel rods that looked like spare parts for the bed "Here take this and watch my movements..." he said.
Zadina nodded "But you sleep like a kitty and it seems we'll be looking after little Ivy too" he giggled as Ivy rolled around in Hebal's fur on her head "She can stay with us too I'm sure." he said gasping as he was picked up and place on her shoulders.
Itaka smiled picking the armour out of the water and dumping it on the side "Well I'm fine with that, our first fight might not be until like 3:00 so I can sleep between the morning and the first fight hopefully if I'm still tired" he said idly rubbing Seph's leg with his foot.
Mari nodded "Well wouldn't everyone going after the gambler's spirit need it for something? I hear it can be used in some medicines or something and I make a few little things occasionally, mostly herbal remedies but I figure with something that powerful I could discover an awesome cure right?" she asked hopefully before examining the outside of the cabin skeptically "Umm I never got given a key..." she murmered.

Hebal gasped surprised Ivy was still with them "Heya Ivy, didn't you want to go back with Mari" she asked her scooping her up into her hands "Are you going to be ok spending the night with us?" she asked the sprite then glanced up at Zadina "Kitties don't always curl up to sleep you know, sometimes they stretch out and sleep of their backs and sides just like us"
Alpha grumbled quietly despite deep down being glad he wouldn't have to spend the night on the floor "The trapdoor us shut for now but in the time we had it open the smell just diffused all over the airship. Not to worry, I'll try not to wake you up when I leave the room since I will have to get up very early to open the place back up for the workforce.
Seph said nothing unable to hear what Itaka was saying due to the sound of the bubbled being forced upwards by the device. She held her breath reaching down to pick the object up then quickly pushed herself back up to the surface taking a deep breath "I wonder how many matches we are going to be taking part in tomorrow... I think it's going to be two but I heared it can be up to 4 times depending on how fast they can go through the preliminaries. but check this out, I found a lump of silver at the bottom" she showed him swimming closer.

Satoshi raised her eyebrow at the weapon of choice taking it from Gil "Umm this is an odd thing to keep in the room don't you think?" she remarked spinning the rod through her fingers before standing to attention in front of him, "Ok then captain Gilgamesh I will follow your moves and orders" she joked giving him a salute waiting to see his movements.
Felina laughed nodding her head "Well obviously I'm going to have to be the one filling the form out. Somehow out of the two of us I think I would be seen as more famous. Just so long as you can maybe provide me with a pen you can sit back and enjoy the nice things that come with being royalty, may give you an idea as to how some things could be later in life" she grinned.
Hayate shrugged "It's no big deal, I have business to take care of myself which requires being up pretty early too. I've made a very long to do list for tomorrow and thats not including watching matches" he told Alpha taking out a piece of paper with elvish written on then added something to the list with a pen that had been sitting in his coat pocket.
Yusti frowned rummaging through her pockets pulling out what was her master key attatched to a moomba keyring "Ok ok I'll let you in for now and get you a key from Mei and slip it under the door a little later ok? But most people don't enter for the prize you know. Some enter for the prize money, others just for glory or fame and some even are more interested in the first and second prizes" she smiled unlocking the door and swung it open

Oassu shrugged "I'm sure it's not that bad...." he said "It's just gonna be some good seats for the show thats all right?" he said a little confused "Barbaros Alpha and Hayate, your room is down there under the names Mr Bobo, Allap, and Hatty" he said handing Barbaros, Alpha and Hayate their reservation papers "Your all in the same room though." he informed them.
Barbaros frowned "Mr Bobo eh? I've been called that before but what you got in mind for tommorow that makes such a big list Hayate?" he asked.
Mari smiled stepping in "Well this is certainly nice, the outside is deceptive but this looks all great and stuff but it doesn't matter what they enter for to me still it should hopefully be good fun" she said putting Sophia under the covers instantly "Thanks for the help today Yusti" she said bowing to her.
Ivy nodded eagerly before buzzing out of her hands and burying herself in Hebal's fur again. "Well I guess your right but I've never owned a kitty myself I bet they are really cute and stuff, like you" he said playing with Hebal's ears.
Itaka chuckled "Odd thing to be here..." he said taking it from her and examining it before giving it back to her and sipping his wine "You think we'll really need to fight 4 times tommorow? That shouldn't be so bad, back at Yithra was way more of a test of endurance but those were just simple rank and file troops with standard training for the most of it." he said.

Seph shrugged putting the silver on top of her armor "It is a bit of an odd thing to have, the people in before us were probably involved in some shady business but finders keepers" she grinned gulping down her wine then put her arm around Itaka "I said up to 4. We may only need to fight once if the preliminaries aren't finished by 5pm and some of those troops were more experienced plus there were the dragons to deal with" she reminded him.
Hebal yawned reaching up to pat Zadina's own ears "aww thanks but theres not much that could beat the cuteness of a baby kitty hehe. Do you think Ivy has made a home inside my fur? It's like she never wants to leave it all of a sudden and I am kinda afraid in case I squish her when sitting down and things" she wondered looking around for where the sprite had disappeared to.
Alpha raised his eyebrow at Oassu accepting the reservation papaer "Umm why am I called Allap? Sounds kinda weird but at least it's not as bad as Bobo. And Hatty here is lucky since it sounds like it's just some kind of nickname" he chuckled giving the group a wave "I'll see you guys sometime over the next couple of days if I have free time anyway" he waved.

Yusti smiled bowing back to Mari "It was no bother really, admitably I would rather have been judging the matches but you guys were still kinda fun. There will be some folk guarding your room all night but if you need something they will be more than happy to help. Night you two" she said giving them a quick wave goodbye then shut the door and flew off straight towards the bar letting the other waiting gria take over.
Hayate put his list away taking the papaers and quickly skim read over the information "Just personal stuff is on that list really, nothing you would be particulaly interested in Mr. Bobo. you guys may be interested to know we need to ask for the room 215 key. Anyway I'll be seeing the rest of you guys tomorrow, you may not notice me but I will be somewhere in the audience" he added bowing to Felina politely before turning in the other direction.
Felina giggled shaking her head "Along with a few other things such as free food and drink and maybe a pool table in the odd one. It's not as grand as it sounds, oh apart from it gives you an almost all access pass too. Apart from that it's the same as any other trip to the arena" she smiled waving her three friends off.

Barbaros shrugged "Personal stuff? You got some contacts in Kunec?" he said glancing at the others "Oh yeah, we'll see you guys tommorow maybe you'll get announced over the tannoy or something" he laughed following Hayate.
Oassu nodded "Well the free food and drink does sound nice, could get you a nice bottle of red wine since I know you like that stuff" he laughed "But no pool for me for a while I wasn't that good at it anyway." he shrugged "But will there be snooty high-class types there?" he asked nervously.
Zadina smiled patting Ivy "Don't worry she's just made a little flower garden on your head to relax in" he said watching the sprite roll about "Maybe one day I'll be able to own my own little kitty you know?" he said picturing it happily "And little Amane can play with it too!" he added.
Itaka raised an eyebrow "You downed that fast" he said refilling it before putting the bottle down and putting his arm around Seph too and relaxing "Your right, even if there is 4 folk I think we'll be fine besides they sure provide us plenty of ways to relax after and between fights" he said tilting his head down to kiss Seph.

Hebal beamed up at Zadina turning her head to check out the place the older guys were going to be staying at "ooh they are going somewhere quite cosy looking aren't they? Having a kitty is a big responsibility and you would have to wait until you were older because the airship is definitely no place for one. Plus they need lots of feeding but it still sounds nice. Why not get a smaller pet like a turlte or a hamster until you get big and strong. Amane loves small critters" she suggested giggling as Ivy's rolling tickled her.
Alpha yawned almost stomping along out of tiredness "You don't know if we would be interested in it or not unless you tell us you know. How I am going to spend the day is kinda easy to guess but what about you Barbaros... sorry Mr. Bobo? Got any plans made fore tomorrow yet?" he asked striding up the steps to the building.
Seph grinned taking a seat on Itaka "They have an infirmary too if you get badly hurt during the fight, sucks if that happens since you wouldn't be able to do anything in what free time you had but do you reackon our matches will appear on that giant sreen above the arena? I hope so, that way the whole of Kunec will be able to see how awesome I am" she boaster gulping down half the second glass.
