Colton strolls into the arena that they were in, not expecting a small group of 4 inside. He then sees a man, covered in blood and watches him walk. He rushes over to him.
"You okay man? You don't look well at all?" Colton refused to touch him for now, not until Ismael gave a clear sign of his legs giving way or a form of weakness.

Marlon shook his head slowly at Blancard. "Ya think I can't sense aura too? I just didn't bother checkin', I reckoned we'd all have it up, I'd never have agreed to this otherwise...Skaos, ya sure ya can hack it? Ya don't look so fresh right about now..."

The hell am I gonna tell Miss Altin and Miss Roux, and that other fella? Sorry I broke your buddy's head, I wasn't payin' attention...Shucks, this was bad. He ran a hand through his hair, unsure if Skaos would let him help or not, and glanced nervously around the room. How had none of them noticed this? He looked at Miss Sol forlornly, shrugging in his helplessness.

Camelia's face softened at Marlon's expression, a smile even gracing her features. "Don't blame yourself too hard. From what I've heard around the parts, it's not the first time that happens to him. Someone even said he broke his sternum in some stairs, once, but I'm not sure wether to believe that."

She turned her head to look at the red-hued monochrome guy again, now being intercepted by a denim-clad blond student, her smile fading. "At least it went better this time around. The last time that happened, someone had to come in from outside Beacon to calm him down." She turned back to Murk, her smile returning as she saw his still somewhat distressed face. "Plus, it's not like we don't have great nurses around here, is it?"

[Timeworker]

Griz nodded while smiling at Cameila. He was glad that someone was going to try and cheer up the big guy. It was now that Griz decided to tend to Colton. "He'll be ok! It was just a small training exercise accident." Griz extended his hand out to shake the newcomer's. "Name's Griz Blancard and we're doing some sparring, if you're interested in joining we'd be glad to have you. Leaning in closer he whispered "Please join, I really do not want to get into a 2v1 against those two..

[Th3King0fChaos]

Ismael walks away in a steady manner leaving all his stuff on the ground as just walking out the door answering no one. He just wanted to get out of there, something was very wrong, he feels very uneasy.

[Leycil]

Colton watches Ismael just walk out, based on what they are saying and what he is doing, the injury muat not be as serious as he thought. Colton then almost broke out in laughter at what Griz but kept a straight face and grinned.
"Sure thing big guy, lets go," Colton said as he stretched and did warm ups. He stepped back away from Griz and did a few punches towards nothing. He stares at Griz.
"Whenever you want."

I'm timing this thread as before Formal for Marlon's sake. No need to make the horror worse.

Marlon nodded slowly. "I heard about that. Somethin' went wrong and his teammates had to try and keep him down and couldn't." His face remained dark, though not from remorse. Somethin' was off about the Skaos kid, he'd picked up on it from the start. Yeah, he was friendly enough, but Marlon had seen enough unhinged men in his day to know not all the cuckoos were in the nest. It set his teeth on edge, sometimes, how Skaos was even allowed at Beacon. What's more, Cheri spent a good deal of her time with the boy, and so did Miss Beckett. Sure, he wasn't all that familiar with the well-to-do lass, but she was good and kind from what he'd seen. 

So were Skaos' teammates. The thought made him uneasy. Not that Skaos was a bad guy, and Marlon was willing to look past rumors, just...he never felt right. He always found himself keeping an eye out when they were near one another, as if waiting for something to go wrong.

"Yeah. Haven't had the occasion to need a nurse yet. Must be luck." he said, letting out a half-hearted laugh.

Camelia gave the towering man a friendly pat on the shoulder - something of a feat, if you consider the height differences. As good as she was with faces, she had little trouble reading the thoughts going through his mind. "It's fiiiine. He's a good guy. Maybe he's just been through some hard times. In any case, I'm pretty sure he'd protect his friends with his life."

She then turned to the new arrival, her ponytail singing as she did. "And I believe you, sirs, will be teaming up against the two us?", she said with a sly smile. The effect was ruined - she wouldn't be able to catch them off-guard with her semblance again. Oh well. Guess it'll be fairer, then.

[Timeworker]

Griz looked at the four of them and re-explained the rules to the newcomer and to re-iterate for all of them."Ok everyone here are the rules!
-No weapons of any kind. You there! Yes you! Girl with the totally fair gravity semblance and shield. One of those things is banned and unfortunately it's not the semblance which brings me to the second rule.
-Semblances are allowed
-We fight until 25% or tap-out
-Aura must be up at ALL time
If no one objects to these rules we can begin."

Griz got into a fighting stance as he looked at the opposition again.

(OOC: For the sake of fairness everyone is 100% aura again and not tired from Semblances)

"I have one question," Colton raised his hand. "What is the floor made of?"

[Timeworker]

Whipping around towards the source of the question dramatically Griz holds an imaginary microphone to his mouth."Good question! 5 points to the young man, this floor is meant to simulate the tournament arena. It can cycle between metal, grass, water, mud and MUCH MUCH MORE. Trust me, I've turned the floor into a cushiony bed and slept on it. It's perfect." the lever to change the battle field was on the wall.

[Leycil]

Colton walks up the lever and below it is a tiny sign that say
'Keep down for 5 minute random environment change'
Colton pulls the lever down and keeps it there and watches the ground beneath them change to grass. Colton goes back beside Griz.
"Cool," Colton said slightly amazed, but amazed

[Uncouth T-Rex]

Marlon just cast a sidelong glance at Miss Sol. "Yeah. A solid man." Ya hope...

He bit back a sigh as she signed him right up for another fight. He hadn't been feeling like fighting anymore, not after almost breakin' some poor soul, but might as well not disappoint the lady. She still looked like she'd enjoy herself. That Joule fella looked like he wanted to replace Skaos. Heh, well, one tricky opponent for another, then. Leastways this one was more predictable, and a little bigger, too. He muttered as much to his partner, keeping his voice down, before returning to his same defensive stance at her back. If he really needed to, he could probably swing out over her head and keep them off her if need be.

His mood had soured to the point where he cared little for the magic of the arena flooring, something he normally took in with child-like awe. Better get this over with...time to get serious.

[nathan67003]

Camelia produced an obviously faked pout, barely mumbling "You're no fun." before going over to where Unity was kindly waiting, and gently put Orion down on top of it. Turning back, she almost ran to the arena, the perpective of battle - a non-bloody one, this time - making her giddy. She resumed her previous position against Marlon's back, taking in his info as she raised her fists in a defensive stance.

[Timeworker]

A sense of deja vu entered Griz's mind as he saw the two before him. [color=32cd32]Lets hope this goes a little better.[/color]Looking at his impromptu partner he offered a suggestion "Maybe you should go in first and I'll back you up. I just follow what ever shots you call. Also careful of the girl she has a gravity semblance." Griz had a couple of advantages here, he hadn't tipped his hand when it came to his semblance, he had a knowledge advantage over the opponents, and he had a new partner who no one apparently knew. This was gonna be great.
