Round 2:
Pool A
Match 33
When you think of gambling, you think of poker. That favourite game where two folks must play the odds, and be ready to bluff hard in order to take the pot. And today we're lucky to have two fine contestants.
Our first one comes from 4-D space, and is an expert inventor and master of games of all kinds. But Welsh Vineyard will have a hard time in her crafty for, Lord Yuna from the Fou Empire. Indeed, while he may not be versed in games, he's well used to facing off against the very best for only the highest of stakes.
So, which one of these two will the cards favour tonight?
Match 34
In this world there's only two kinds of people. The people who do what they're told, and the people who do the telling. This competition is only for those who do the telling. Specifically, those who use that fine art of the teller, bullying. Yes! This match is a competition to see who can bully more of the minions in the arena with them, or even go for the knockout and successfully bully their opponent without retaliation.
First up is a man well versed in the art of getting folks to do what he says. Specifically, it's how he became the Vice President of the United States, and was his primary tool against the terrorist Metal Wolf. But, Richard Hawk will have his work cut out for him.
Because his opponent is a part of the god of darkness itself; the Wings of Valmar, Millenia. Easily demanding that others do as she wishes, and with the sure assurance that this will happen, her technique is flawless.
And so we'll see here and now, which one of these two can be the better bully.
Match 35
Two lone gladiators meeting in the arena? Flawless formations clashing on the field of war? Barbaric! These days one can and should take the blood out of bloodsport with the advent of the fighting game! These electric simulations of fighting provide all your conflict resolution and face smashing needs without putting a single life at risk! And today, we've got five of them being used to setting which of these two will be the winner!
Neither of our contestants actually comes from a setting with fighting, or even really video, games but both have their claim to victory. Major Armstrong's is boasting of his famed Armstrong Technique, which apparently is enough to deal with even this. While Cecilia Lynn Adelhyde is good with her mind, and while perhaps not the quickest of wit, should prove able to outsmart her opponent.
Well, they'll each have their chance as now it's time to game on!
Match 36
On your marks. Get set. GO!
Go on down to the local footrace, where two contestants strive to get from point A to point B as fast as they can. Of course, this time, we've got somewhat less than impressive contestants. One of them is a mage, noted for her distinct lack of physical activity. Of course, this may be better than her opponent who's known for being a housewife and horribly skilled with a frying pan.
Match 37
Do you need someone to look after your kids? Come to the DL Day Care where we have only the finest of staff to look after your child. This week, both of our staff members come from the wonderful world of Tales! Rita will be sure to keep your kids clean, and otherwise watch over them with he magical might. While Fun Master Ion ensures that no child goes unentertained as he looks after both their bodies and their souls.
Of course, only one of these two can win the Parent's Choice Employee of the Month award!
Match 38
In this world there's two types of people. People who tells others what to do, and the people who do as they're told. This match focuses on those who do as they're told. Specifically, on the fine job of minioning, which is low tier do what you're told.. These two will not only serve as extras on the Bullying Challenge this week. but must also generally serve their overlords in as spineless a manner as they can manage.
For Rinoa, this may be a bit of an issue. While she has the not terribly competant part of being a minion mastered, she's still got the occasional notion that she's in chage, which will never do.
On the other hand, her opponent Hilda is pretty literally batty and has to overcome the fact that she is a vampire, and vampires are never mere minions.
Match 39
The ability to put paint on canvas, isn't so much a mechanical thing as it is an art, an application of the soul on whatever surface is at hand. And so it shall be here, where these two contestants must craft a painting, with the finer painting gaining the victory.
White Knight Leo has little issue with expressing himself, being an extrovert of the highest caliber. But then, so is Lymsleia, who as Queen is secure in all aspects of her reign and herself. And so, White Knight or Queen, which shall prove defter with a brush.
Match 40
Hey there and welcome to Fashion Makeover! The show where our two fashionistas take one ugly slob and each present their vision of how fabulous he can look! This week we'll be helping our victim Cloud Strife. But let's look past his tacky, tacky outfit to the two folks who'll be helping him advance forward!
Top of her class from the prestigis Al-Revis Academy, Lily Valendorf is ready to show off her Alchemy. The making of outfits is one of the specialties of Alchemy and her outfits are both stylish and practical, useful both on the runway and the dungeon. And she has with her her Maid Mana Whim, to give a second eye and ready advice.
And our other expert hails from Inaba, Japan. Kanji Tatsumi may just be in high school, but he's skilled with both needle and thread, having been trained in the tailoring industry since youth. And that's not even getting into his own keen fashion sense, and experience with both men's, and women's fashions.
