"I don't know. I'm going to sound like a schizo, but... Skulltap, a couple of times, has given me the impression that it has a bit of a will of its own," Anatoly replied, uncertain of what they'd have to say. He didn't want to be separated from Skulltap, but if it was going to knock him out, it might be the only option readily available... though that had been for his own good, he had to admit. He inhaled very sharply as he thought of the attack on Kitt again.

"First of all, you don't talk about this with anyone not present in this room," Stark said sharply. "Ever. We don't need people thinking that someone crazy has a Sticker like Skulltap.
"And secondly...you do sound like a schizo." With that, Stark turned, gesturing for Bitong and tapping Rufus on the shoulder. The three men left the room.
"Gather the crew," Stark murmured once they were outside. "My room, ten minutes."
When they left, he leaned back in. "Get some rest," he said. "In half an hour, your next match starts."

"Who?" he asked. "And if they lose, do I get the Mysticker they wagered?"

"Here's the list of people that signed up to fight for Skulltap," Stark said, handing him a piece of paper. "You get whatever Sticker they fought with."
Anatoly realized that it was the list from before. Only four names didn't have checks next to them: Stark, Kitt, Rufus, and Anatoly himself.

"If you lose or draw a challenge, are you out for the day?" Anatoly asked, gesturing towards Kitt. "I mean, I'm clearly not - but is she? I'm... worried..." The word emerged from his mouth only grudgingly. "About Kitt. After, you know. What I did when I lost it." He seemed to be hyperventilating a little.

"You are ineligible for a challenge if you are unconscious, at least," Stark said. "If you lose, then why would people keep challenging you for a Sticker you no longer have?"
He looked at the clock. "I have somewhere to be. Any last questions?"

"Well, if you have two, like Joy Buzzer and Beast, you could lose both," Anatoly objected. "But before you go.... where can I get info on what all of my challengers' Mystickers do?"

((Oh damn. You would. xp ))
Stark sighed. "It's not really against the rules, but its frowned on. Based on your current condition, however, I won't disallow it." He pulled from his pocket a small book.
"Sticker info," he said, throwing it to Anatoly.
((Contains all the info on the front page and updates with it.))

((I would what?))
"Thanks," Anatoly replied, catching the book. He lied down in the bed beside Kitt, skimmed the sections on the stickers he needed to be concerned with, and meditated for the remaining time.

((Make me write the Sticker explanations that I've been avoiding.))
After some time, the intercom clicked on. "John Wilde, of Blazer Black, Lead Division, has challenged Anatoly Yang, of the Trainee Division! Challengers, please make your way to Training Room 4."

"Here we go," Anatoly muttered, standing. He grabbed a piece of paper and a pen, scribbled the following on it:
Kitt,
I'm sorry about what I did to you. If there's anything I can do to make this up to you, please let me know.
-Anatoly Yang
Leaving the note for her face-down with the pen on top of it, Anatoly went to training room for.
"Ready, Skulltap?" Anatoly muttered jokingly before he entered the room. He paused, dissolved the fresh tears, braced himself, and entered, tucking Ice 1 into his pocket and applying Skulltap to his cheek beneath his eye.
((BRB, walkin' a dog. It'll take just a couple of minutes, give you time to post Aegis and stuff. <_<))

Wilde was waiting when Anatoly arrived. It was one of the men from the last fight.
Oh damn. Now he knew how Anatoly fought. This could be tough.
"Pick your Sticker," he said, holding out his hands. One had a green sticker, shot through with white and yellow, and the other had a yellow circle surrounded by black and red rings.

"Joy Buzzer," Anatoly replied. As much as it sickened him, it occurred to him that he might as well capitalize on any reputation he might be gaining from his last fight. "I'd guess I'm the more beast-like of the two of us."

Wilde rolled his eyes. "Oh God..."
He darted forward suddenly. Anatoly had a hard time following: one second, he had been standing totally relaxed, head thrown back and hands out. A second later, he was a foot in front of Anatoly, Joy Buzzer on his hand and Beast gone, reaching out in an open palm thrust.
He hit him square in the chest, startling him back to the fight. Joy Buzzer let off a beep, then zapped him.

((Hey, autohitting cheapass!))
Anatoly rolled back with the strike, moving his chest away and priming skulltap as he grabbed for Wilde's arms.
