It was a brutal and intense contest. Dextrous and nimble fingers swept and wavered through the air and earth, the two competitors heavily focused in their tasks. Sparks and flares flew and countless droplets of clay were strewn around.
Wait, clay?
Yes. Apparently, Deis and Opera were the referees for the match, and they were bored. Thus, they decided that this match would be decided through the display of Mia and Rude's skills at handcraft - more specifically, pottery.
Well, that's not quite specific. If you really want to be specific, it was a display of erotic pottery, for extra embarassment and an excuse for Opera to bring beer to the judges' booth.
In the end, neither of them could really muster anything even resembling renaissance Michaelangelo sculptures - or anything resembling erotica, really. But Opera and Deis were so drunk by the end of the contest that they looked at Mia's clay piranha (hey, she thinks they're cute, and the judges were never very specific on the definition of "beauty" that they were seeking) and thought it was actually a naked rendition of Alex. Rude's crooked vase was considered to be a Rabite by them, getting Rude banned from the DL for the next three seasons under accusations of furryism. You do not want to indulge in strange fetishes at the Duelling League.
Two days later, Deis and Opera were found at a dumpster somewhere in the vicinity of Gemity, hugging a clay piranha while singing "Little Spanish Flea" in their sleep.
