"Hey, let's hear both sides of the story before you start beating on someone. I know from experience how shitty that can feel. Evan?" Claude barked, very stern with his friends for once. Claude hated when arguments got to be this petty, it's one thing to debate an issue, it's another to hurl insults that can cut deeper than one side thinks. Claude had resolved to try and keep things cordial when he was around, having heard of several of the different arguments and hatreds around the school. Was he a hypocrite when he smack talked about Alvin behind his back? So be it.

Karrin had made her own way to the buffet with less eagerness than she normally would have. Her appetite was upsset by nerves and the fact that her stomach had been kicked by Rein. That, y'know, does't make anyone feel good. She had a bit off a meagre helping, deciding that since it was a buffet she could go back for more if necessary and hunted down a table. She saw a table with only two girls on it, the silver-haired girl who had been yelled at and reacted in a very humorous way, in Karrins opinion, and another girl she didn't recognise. Not that that would be all too uncommon at first. Karrin walked over, still a bit nervy, and simply asked to either of them "These seats taken?" She flicked her head to get her fringe out of her face for at least a second.

This man speaks wisdom. Chill Rose

Claude picked up the little fire moth, smiling at her gently until his attention finally went to Danielles and Evans argument. "Hey guys, I hope you aren't arguing, you would have missed my win!" He joked, hoping to crack some of the very obvious tension.

Karrin isn't nice to people who wrong her ^^ she also doesn't care for social politics.

NGL, any drama so far has felt really forced. It was kinda funny having Karrin get kicked down, but why on earth would a rich, spoilt girl like Natalie kick Karrin and start being a bitch for no reason?

Not now that you said that. Karrin would, cuz she's not used to being so short in comparison to another, buuuuuut now someones gotta prove you wrong.

Didn't feel like holding things up is all. I hope I didn't make it seem too easy a win.

Rather than be dragged away, Claude hopped around phoebe to start walking towards the battlefield. "I'll try, I can promise you that!" Claude hollered as he went, a cheerful tone in his voice. When he went out to the arena, the audience and the idea of how many people were watching went to his head a little and he overdid some of the theatrics slightly, waving at the crowds far too much. Victoria started looking annoyed until Claude finally sent out his pokemon and politely wished her good luck *** After Victorias last pokemon had gone down, Claude revelled in his achievement, jumping up and down in excitement. It had been difficult but Claudes use of Douxs manoeuvrability and tricks alongside Lances sheer fighting ability proved to be enough to win the battle. There was a moment when Claude overestimated Lances endurance and he fainted, but Doux still saved the day as the opponent was too weak to pull back the win. Claude returned to the waiting room, happy about the win and more importantly the crowds excitement had left him with an adrenaline high that made him feel Ditzy, Dizzy and very happy.

Well, to be frank I don't want to write out my own battle with Victoria nor do I really want to have someone else do it, i'd really prefer to get this going again, so expect a quick start and end to the battle at some point.

How much influence does this have over foreign countries? It's a big issue of course, but the mention of congress has me confused

You put something like it up at some point, I think

'Til then. I just got home a little while ago anyway ^^

I thinkI set Karrins age as August 15, so does that mathematically work out? NVM, checked your age, wanna partner up comm? ^^ i'll ask while i'm here

Real quick update, Karrin is free, but I won't be posting for most of today, like, this was meant to be a check on the forums to kep up-to-date

well i'm gonna be gone for the next 16 hours, so you aren't the only ones

yeah, but it'd feel awkward as all hell injecting karrin into a convo would feel really awkward and forced.

I don't really know what to do now

Gotcha, Will do cap'n

I don't think I swear that often with my OCs, partially cuz I know people can get touchy that and because I'm aware there are different perceptions of overboard. I've only sworn much with Karrin because she is more or less a self insert and I swear a LOT so, yeah.

Oh, so you're backtracking a bit? I remember Kinetic abilities being mentioned when you were just starting this up

Just noticed that Karrin and natalie both use Blade. Rivalry, ho!

Not pursuing. Karrin found Natalie acting ll stereotypical very entertainin'
