Hokay, so now that Dr Gustave saved my ass like a smoldering golden angel clad in nothing but wings and magnificence, a few things to point out so everyone's up to speed with what I've got cookin' and can behave accordingly in threads:
Nathan Eau, Mauve Roux, Fortuna Altin: Jack and Orabel are about to pull some serious jerk business in Formal when Fox gets back. This jerk business is why Marlon joined the tournament at all (to stomp him in front of the world), and will give Nathan EVEN MORE reason to want to stomp him in front of the whole world. Secondly, Marlon and Jack were the first fight of the tournament. Despite being an exceptional, experienced, and deadly fighter, Marlon lost. Initially, I didn't want to reveal that but hey, Vytal crept up on me and here we are. We'll have a flashback thread once things actually happen in Formal, it'll be awesome. During and immediately after that fight, Jack and Orabel did more awful stuff, making people hate the worst ship in the Universe even more.
Which brings us to the current matches in Vytal.
