"It's nice to have you at our table. We were just discussing the newcomer who made an appearance in the original arena. The contortionist fellow who calls himself Ragdoll. Have you faced him yet?"
Remus finished his water and leaned back a bit.

"I have not, nor can I say I have heard much about the fellow. Care to enlighten me, perhaps?" She took a sip of her wine, calmly flicking her gaze between the two men.

"Of all of the places for a tavern..." Alnette mused silently. Boredom and curiosity had brought the redhead there, though she stood outside for nearly five minutes before finally walking inside. "I have to admit, this place is pretty nice..." She examined her surroundings for several moments, before noticing a few familiar faces. She couldn't resist a grin and a slight yell. "Ho! Remus! Emma! Fancy seeing you here!"

Remus smiled and waved Alnette over. "Have a seat! The more the merrier!" he said pulling out another chair. Remus got a refill of his water and then turned back to Emma.
"This Ragdoll, as he calls himself, is a contortionist with a skeleton like rubber. You can punch him, kick him, blow him up and he'll just bounce. He is flexible enough to fit inside small spaces and he often kills his opponents with hidden blades or by constricting around them. I actually witnessed him crawl inside a guy and crush his lungs from the inside." Remus explained rather gravelly.

She greeted Alnette, nodding in recognition as the other woman approached.
Turning back to the Emperor, a hint of fear flickered across her features. "I shall keep my eyes open for him. That information will be useful, might give me an edge in a battle."

"I'll be glad to," she smiled as she made her way over to the small group, sitting in the chair Remus pulled out for her, "so, what are we talking about? I'd rather not feel left out in this conversation."

I see the angels, I'll lead them to your door... Lightning poked her head through the portal, followed by the rest of her body. Catching Remus talking about some Ragdoll guy, she approached the small group, listening intently to the conversation. ...There's no escape now, no mercy no more.

Remus looked at Alnette. "A newcomer by the name of Ragdoll. A rather psycho contortionist who can bend in ways that would make you hurt to watch."
Remus took a sip of his refilled glass and then cleared his throat. "I think your best bet would be to use magic against him. I've also found that my gun is effective against him as well. Just guard your eh...bodily orifices and that way he won't rip you apart from the inside out."

"Magic is usually my best bet. What do you know about the man's mind?" She asked, looking intently at Remus. "Easy to invade, or so twisted that penetration is rendered nigh-impossible?"

"Sounds like a foe I'd rather not meet at all." Alnette commented, closing her eyes. "Makes me want to return to my castle and bury myself into a spellcasting tome to learn new defensive spells."

"I know the feeling. The first time I entered the Battledome I fled back to my estates and buried myself in my older grimoires."

Remembering his own bout with the comic book villain, Mort smiled and patted his metallic companion on the dome.
Things were starting to pick up, luckily for Mort however, people seemed to be drinking water or there own stash.
While Vii wouldn't have condoned of such a thing, it just meant less work for Mort and he was okay with it.
One by one they trickled in, the little drunk girl from last night, the elven royalty and a few others that hadn't been there.
Wiping down the counter top for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past hour, Mort looked at the clock.
Why does she have to be such a late riser? He thought to himself, still got about two and a half hours.
This realization made his fangs quiver and he began to look at the patron's more so as a menu than customers.

"His mind is just as twisted and contorted as he is. I think it would be better to stay out of that guy's head, but you can always try, Emma." Remus replied.
He then leaned back and placed his hands behind his head. "Honestly, I don't know much about his history. Everything I've told you thus far is just what I've gathered from fighting him. I don't know what pit or slum he crawled out of. I'm not even sure if he's undead, alive or an alien. He could be just an old Raggedy Ann doll with some malevolent force housed inside him. Whatever he is, he certainly does get a kick out of Battledome."

She flashed Emma a warm smile. "I still remember my first days at the Battledome. I won my first several fights, save for one. I was hooked ever since." She laughed. "Sure I lose as often as I win, but I've met some pretty great people and I was inspired to expand my combat horizons. Believe it or not, until recently I only had four or five spells in my repertoire."
She looked at Remus and nodded slightly. "Either way, he's come for a fight, and he'll get plenty there. Perhaps I'll fight him soon. I do have some new spells I want to try out."
