Yet another week is gone and past, my friends. With that, I bid you all welcome to the second week of Season 24. We here hope your week has been most enjoyable thus far and hope it continues to be. At any rate, you may feel free to view the Results of last week at your leisure before we get into what's going on this week. **Importantion information for newcomers! Please click This Link to go to a post made by our moderators that should hopefully answer several of your questions! If you have any more, simply feel free to go to the forums and ask!** Kurando enters into the Duelling League yet again! This time, he hopes that he can make up for some of his recent failures. He intends to show everyone the power of a Harmonixer Not-Named-Yuri! Chaos revels in the chance to be able to put yet another would-be adventurer down. Luc has been out for quite some time. He returns with a vengance, hoping that he can also show people that he very well does deserve to be in Heavy. Daos has no intentions of going easy on the young boy. He will use every trick in his book to finally put and end to him. Setzer doesn't like to hurt girls. Unforetunately, when push comes to shove, he really doesn't have any options. Setzer will use his gambling skills and his Fixed Dice to try and get the upper hand, but Rikku will use every item in her backpack to dispose of Setzer. Cinna has been laughed at and thought of as nothing more than another member of the Tantalus gang. This week, however, he aims to prove everyone wrong! With his physical and durability, he'll put that martial artist in his place! Yang, however, knows all he has to do to win. He will simply gather his spiritual force and strike at Cinna to defeat him. The rest of the matches this week can be found in The Arena where characters are always fighting for their future!

Chisato has some exciting news for you all, so let's all see what's going on this week in Behind the Scenes! Adieu, my friends! Welcome to Behind the Scenes, the talk show with more punches than punchlines. On tonight's show, we'll meet with old-school incarnations of destruction, and overconfident magi. And now, the star of our show, Miss Chisato Madison! Thanks, Gilgamesh. Our first guests are a pair of Light thieves. Say hello to Karn and Gijimu. Hey there, pretty thing. Hi. First things first, I'm sorry that you have to go, Karn. What do you mean? I'm thinking she's none too happy over your "pretty thing" comment. Quite right. Now, Ultros, if you could escort him to his doom... I don't think so. I don't want him to use his merging powers on me. Yeah, and as appealing as having a body to call my own again is, that one isn't... well, it just isn't. What you need is someone who not even Karn would be willing to fuse with to escort him out. Of course. So... Already done. What? I threw him to Penance while you were talking. I knew you were going to ask me anyway. Why Odin, that was positively... ...competent. Thank you... I think. Now, Gijimu, you're back to compete in Light after a short foray into Middle and a long vacation. Do you think that you'll be a bit rusty? Of course. Doesn't matter. Why? Ol' Lepant's going to be a bit distracted since Eileen got thwacked, especially by someone with Edge's reputation. "Thwacked"? Is that what they're calling it nowadays? See? It's guys like the bonebox that are going to win it for me. It doesn't matter what the truth is, so much as what he thinks it is. That makes sense. Our next guests are the ever-changing Pip and the double-dealing Setzer. Only when I double down, my dear. Hi! Gee, Pip, you seem rather chipper today. I get to see de world! I waited so long for it. Do you think you can win? Maybe. I have de power to do my best. Dat's all. It's more de twip dan de destination. I couldn't agree more. That's just because you love your stupid airship. The Falcon is NOT stupid! You take that back, right now! Oh, please, like you could take me by yourself, prettyboy. It's not over until the last die is cast. So bring it on! But I thought we were going to talk about his upcoming role in... Corporate shilling or senseless killing. I know what my vote is. Gilgamesh, keep a camera trained on our two FF6 foes and introduce our next guests. Right. Welcome Luc and Edwin, and please don't let your megalomaniacal habits influence you while your here, for your sakes. ...whatever. Hmmph. (Like I'd take orders from some flunky.) Well, I see that Luc's back into angst mode. All existence is misery. We live to die. So what happened now, Luc? You run out of orange juice? No, no, it's obviously that his favorite shoes got scuffed. Maybe he found out that we've been renewed for another season. Quiet, you. (My my... the ability to control a sentient mimir without a spell... she must be truly impressive. A fitting concubine for when I rule.) (You know she can hear you, right?) (Silence, cur! Do not intrude upon my inner monologues!) (But they're not inner if you speak them out loud.) Die! Hey, wait... How depressingly violent. Right. Um, Ultros, if you could drag those two off by you so we could finish the show? I think I can spare a hand or two. Get back here, you boneless bas... Right. I'm just going to let the physical representations of destruction and entropy in myself. I mean, and my so-called "new look" wasn't all that appealing. I like the sword, it's a nice touch, but it wasn't as fearsome as I had hoped or remembered. Bah! Just be glad that you lived in a time where your own look was the worst you had to think about. I was just grateful that I finally got a bloody background. Boys... Oh, hello Chisato. I guess it's time for our interviews? Quite right. Now... come to think of it, are any of your answers going to be different if I just ask general questions? Probably not. I mean, if you've seen one physical representation of anger and hate, you've seen them all. And since we've got three of them in the studio right now... Morte? Run. Well, more like hover, but all right. Catch me if you can, Red! Looks like I'm the only one without a sparring partner, so I get to close the show! Great. Well, we'll see you all next week, for another exciting installment of Behind the Scenes!
