Match 9
Welcome everyone, to America's favourite quiz show, Jeopardy! I am your host Alex Trebek. And here's tonight's contestants.
Famed for his metal joints, Gato has come all the way from Guardia. His interests include fighting, festivals, and handing out silver points.
Our other contestant is Ion, known for his mastery of the Fon, and the leader of the Order of Lorelai.
With that, we'll reveal tonights catagories.
Match 10
Arf! Arf!
(Koroku here!)
Arf! Awroooo!
(It seems my brothers and I must be washed!)
Grrrrr! Arf!
(So these two are going to try and wash us?!)
*Whine!*
(This one is a Tales Mage, I think we can take her if we play innocent)
*Whimper*
(And this one has a tail? Is he here to get washed too?)
Awrooooo!
(Cecile, please save us!)
Match 11
I could put in a witty description here, but honestly, this event was just tossed in because I needed the perfect event in case Team Rocket got in. Thus was Live Action Minesweeper Born. Little did I know how much Hatbot would love it.
Our first competitor is the Season 2 Godlike Champ, and generally forgettable/mockable Mars Adept, Menardi.
The other competitor is Rinoa, who doesn't really need an introduction.
Both contestents are effectively smash characters on infinite stock here, with a victory condition of flag/detonate all of the mines on their grid first. And let's remember, the real winner in this contest is us, the voters.
Match 12
The local Thieves Guild has recently had an opening, and two folks have recently found out they need to join, or else. Unfortunately, the person who can get in is the one who can steal the greatest market value worth of stuff in a single night.
The first candidate is Hilda Valentine, a New World vampire recently seen at Roswell. Her ability to change her weight will allow her to be less recognizable. And being a vampire, she's naturally a creature of the night.
The second candidate is... a Magikarp. Yeah, we're not sure why a Magikarp needs to join a Thieves Guild, but so it goes. It's strengths are the awe inspiring Splash Attack, and the fact that no one would ever expect a Magikarp to try and rob them.
Match 13
Abridging, the fine art of taking something and reducing it to its essence. Bonus points if you can do so while also being funny. Tonight, we'll let these two face off, trying their own hands at this sacred art.
Our first abridger is the White Knight Leo. He already knows the many uses of style and panache and how to use them to add flair to a more pedestrian product.
Our second is Liz, and his apendage, Ard. Liz is known for his extensive vocabulary, and Ard for his excessive exuberance.
Which one of these two will best show that brevity truly is the soul of wit?
Match 14
Hippity Hop, Hippity Hop, the Easter Bunny is here!
Wait, what do you mean the easter bunny isn't here? But then how dissapointed will all the Children of the DL be when there are no hidden eggs to find? So, we have two replacements to hide the eggs instead.
The first is an odd fellow, coming from Shibuya of all places. Sho Minamimoto may have math and junk as his interests, but his knowledge of dead places will help him get his eggs hidden in a snap.
But his opponent has the advantage of technically still being a child herself, even if she's been forced to grow up quickly. Lymsleia Falena can not only reach places that only children can reach, but she also has that firey determination not to lose to fuel her.
Match 15
One, two, three, four!
Now we'll have a thumb war!
Rightful winner, spoiled brat!
Lily thinks that she's all that!
And sure to beat that B-Rate Star
The most pathetic Laguna Loire.
Match 16
Behold, the noble and graceful basket.
See the dance of the straws as they flow amongst each other, individuals forming a solid whole.
Today, these two individuals shall comete to craft as many of these sturdy wonders of art and industry.
The first is a most clumbsy mage, with a tendency to sneeze. But, Viki has been to many places, and seen a great many styles of basket.
The second says he is a man's man, though he too knows the tender seduction of the arts. Kanji Tatsumi is himself a fearsome weaver, should he be able to face his true self.
