it's the ultimate showdown (of ultimate destiny)

[captainobnoxious]

Thursday.

The day that'd been so longingly awaited since the meeting on Monday by both combatants.

The tables in the dining hall have been pushed to the walls for seating, everyone's had a paper shoved beneath their door alerting to them to the evening event, and anyone who had any business there suddenly does not. Seriously, those papers are like littered everywhere, unless you're not coming there's no way you didn't know there was something tonight.

On one side of the room is Sigrun with her weapon of choice: a pike she got from the vending machine a little bit ago, practicing her handling of it with a grace that remarks upon her life of combat experience, a quiet seriousness to her that's rarely seen. Her focus is on the opponent on the other side, twenty or so feet away, the clinking gears ever rolling.

Colress and Klinklang are also concentrated on what's about to go down, the man talking quietly to his Pokémon, all too ready to show the strength of the creature off to Sigrun. They'd been becoming reused to each other, Colress learning just what his frankly new friend (at least in evolution) could do, since that challenge put forth by the woman, and it's with confidence that the three now face each other, the air heavy with anticipation.

Let's fight.

[devastation]

Is... is this really alright?

[As a teacher she should be breaking up fights in the dining hall, not just spectating them with everyone else gathered here... 8|]

[amygdalae]

...I trust they both know at what point they should stop.

[GUYS... WE'RE HERE TO PREVENT MURDER... NOT CAUSE IT.]

[devastation]

Maybe... but, ah, this is Sigrun-san we're talking about here...

[Who, may we remind you, is the same person who suggested everyone fighting to the death last week, among other things before then. :|b]

[amygdalae]

[...yes, Bruce is remembering all of that too.]

...she is still a trained professional, despite everything. And most of us are here.

[So they can, uh... do something. If they really have to.]

[devastation]

... I suppose there's also the infirmary nearby, but I honestly hope we don't have to resort to needing it.

[Though maybe someone should go upstairs and get stuff or have some bandages on hand just in case.]

[amygdalae]

...I'll bring a few things down later just in case they're needed.

[The not-doctor to the rescue...! Sort of...]

[devastation]

[Thank goodness you're here Bruce, we would probably be in trouble without you and your medical aid.]

At least Colress's companion is interesting? I don't think I've ever seen anything like it before...

[He had told her a little about Pokemon, but to actually see one that looks like a pile of floating gears...]

[amygdalae]

[He simply tries his best... although honestly they would have been better off with an actual doctor. But needs must, and all that.]

It's certainly... something.

[Yeah sentient gears was not what Bruce was expecting of a Pokemon.]

[devastation]

What did he say it's name was? "Klinklang" or something, I think? [Because that sure is a name to give to sentient gears, isn't it.] He told me about Pokemon before, but I was expecting... well, something more like an animal.

[But still with the magic powers apparently.]

[amygdalae]

I believe so. [It's... not that hard to remember, actually, for better or for worse.] And... I had the same idea too when he was talking about them.

[Something that is at least looked something like an animal or an insect or... something. Not--sentient gears.]

[isafraid]

Well... as long as either of them know what they're doing. [Which might be... unlikely... SIGRUN]

And now, we have an infirmary ready, in case either of them goes too far.

[again.... sigrun]

[devastation]

I suppose, but I would honestly prefer that they wouldn't do something so reckless here.

[seriously, teacher instinct is telling her to intervene, but they'd probably still fight even if megumi told them not to :|]

[isafraid]

[...He gives her what he hopes to be a reassuring smile. It probably makes him look like a loser.]

Now no, try to look on the bright side of it, Miss Megumi. This could be just a way to work off some energy.

[It beats getting murdered, doesn't it?]

[devastation]

... Well, if it makes Sigrun-san happy...

[Then who are we to argue? Maybe this is like with Zagi-san: better to let people like those two find a way to burn off energy rather than allow them to use life-threatening means to sate that fighting urge...]

What do you think of Colress's friend, though? I think he said it was a "Pokemon"?

[isafraid]

She does seem happier then any time I've seen her.

[Ah, the joy of battle with possible injury... Nice?]

He did call it that, didn't he? [Or something to that effect. It certainly wasn't an animal like the one's he knew of.] To tell you the truth, Miss Megumi, it brings up some unfortunate memories of home. Especially with the way miss Sigrun is having a go at it.
