There are eleven other gladiators housed here, mostly human or half elven, but with two large half orcs and a halfling in the mix. Two of the humans apear to be twin brothers, though after the 'elf' pair yesterday its perhaps best not to jump to conclusions. Micheal's shrewd bed choice allows him a clean shot at the lavatory, and by the time everyone is up and dressed, Petra has entered the room, causing everyone else to come to some sort of attention.  "good morning, you may have noticed we have some new recruits. They come highly recomended from the Orrussuss region and will be on the Fast Track." She pauses for a moment to let the flurry of whispers die down, then continues, "We've had to move some things around to get them on the schedule, so, Click and Clack, Tiny and Mountain, your doubles matches for today have been cancelled." She speaks firmly over the mumbles this time, with a look that quiets the group down quickly. "The four of you will be participating with the new four in a beast mellee tommorrow, however, so you'll get your ring time. Help them look good, our master needs some good publicity for the new faces." With that she approaches you as a group and says "Breakfast is in the main room, you're free to take whatever you want. I'll be meeting with you an hour before your matches for gear up, in the meantime, feel free to explore the pits and get a feel for your new environment. Remember, absolutely no betting against members of your own stable."From the reactions, you would say that Click and Clack are the twins, and Tiny and Mountain are an unusual pair consisting of the halfling and one of the half orcs.You go into the main room, which is laid out with porrige and some meats, and Lenc swiftly waves Micheal and Vanitri (and the rest if you want) over to his table, where he introduces Micheal grandly as "the man who saved my face." In between stuffing said face, he meantions that he has no matches today (as he was expected to have a much longer recovery time from his injuries) and has time to show Vanitri around the betting office and such.Micheal [sblock]You get the impression that your "fast tracking" is a little demeaning to the more expereinced members of the stable, and particularly the decision to preempt other gladiators 'ring time' for you may have caused some jealousy, though Petra is accorded enough respect that no one would challange the decision directly.[/sblock]Rosalynn [sblock]You get the impression that your "fast tracking" is a little demeaning to the more expereinced members of the stable, and you noticed four gladiators in particular who seemed to take it badly, including one half elf, the twins and a very large human. Particularly the decision to preempt other gladiators 'ring time' for you may have caused some jealousy, though Petra is accorded enough respect that no one would challange the decision directly. The halfling and half orc appeared mostly molified by the news they would be part of a new fight instead, the twins less so.[/sblock]ooc, all [sblock]I've noticed that bront and jennirose have yahoo instant messenger, if the others do or can get it, we might be able to run the doubles matches that way (there is a doodle feature that could do basic combat mapping pretty well) if we can arrange the time for three of us to all be on at once. If not, we'll just do them here.[/sblock]</blockquote>
