seraphina sat on the bench waiting for a healer and morphed into their second most familiar face; gabriel. jackson introduced them to his parents as gabe, though. it had sort of stuck for the more masculine sera. “yeah, the tooth is still missing like this too. fuck!”

IT IS TIME FOR THE FINAL MATCH...

as the last two fighters approach the cage and prepare for this final bout, CORDELIA GREENGRASS and HAYDEN HUXLEY hold the FINAL MATCH signs in the middle of the cage and slowly circle the edge of fencing for the crowd before both are seen to the door. JACKSON FLINT locks the cage door closed behind them.

the match begins. the carver braces themself. baby rolls her head back and forth to stretch the neck muscles out. the carver lifts both fists defensively. baby pulls one arm in front of their chest followed methodically by the other. the carver steps forward with intimidating purpose. baby’s head snaps up and eyes focus on the carver. the carver pauses. baby hitch kicks him square in the cleft of his chin and lands both feet down one after the other on the mat. the carver’s head whips back at an angle. baby grabs the carver by the injured forearm and twists. in a forceful, hefted step, baby propels the carver around them and back first into the fence wall. the carver recovers quickly and swings a solid right hook into baby’s cheek followed by a left jab and a right cross then combined with a left elbow across the thick of baby’s skull. baby stumbles back. the carver sticks his foot out and hooks around baby’s ankle in an attempt to trip. baby falls back on their ass. baby rolls back onto their shoulders and leaps up to their feet again. baby steps a running step forward and-

every light in the basement of acid nightclub goes dark.

the entirety of FIGHT NIGHT is cast immediately into pitch blackness. there is a beat of shocked silence. there is a realization that this is not a planned part of the customary theatrics. then there are screams. some echoing in absolute fright, some seeking to reach out and find others in the crowd, some just pure adrenaline seeking a swift exit from the unexpectedly panicked bodies. while the darkness feels like it lasts an eternity, the black out could not possibly be more than three minutes at longest. the lights are thrown again. the over-crowded cement shoe box of a room is illuminated. inside the still-locked cage, there is one obvious flaw to the scene. the referee and the carver are standing precisely where they had been when the lights went out. baby is not. baby is nowhere.

___________________________________________

SERAPHINA PARKINSON IS MISSING.

FIGHT NIGHT IS OVER.

OOC NOTES:

with that, fight night has come to it’s conclusion. feel free from this point on to post any threads from the time the lights went out and forward freely again. in character, everyone will have been detained for a brief search of the premises then filed out to retrieve their belongings and sent home. fighters who needed more extensive healing magic will have been seen to. the department of law enforcement has refused to comment to the situation. the event is over! we hope you enjoyed!

good luck and prepare accordingly.

the drinks are pouring, the crowd has gathered, all wands have been confiscated, and the door is bolted...

FIGHT NIGHT HAS BEGUN

on the side of acid, there is a narrow alleyway that is usually blocked by smokers and drunkards loitering around outside the club. the cobble alley boasts a small stairwell down to a padlocked basement door. a bouncer waits with arms crossed in front of the door. he collects the five galleon charge to enter and every wand on sight. they are all marked, listed, safely bagged individually into velvet draw bags and stashed into a magically sealed locker outside the venue.

inside, there is another metal staircase that leads down into a high ceiling basement that spans the length of the nightclub above it. the sound of music consistently thrums overhead shaking the already unstable lighting system. a bar lines the wall to the far left of the room. a stage is at the center back with just enough room for a microphone and maybe a small band setup. on the right are bleacher style metal seats and a door to the restrooms. scattered intermittently in the room are high standing tables and other chairs that range from folding to lounge in stature that are all facing center. in the middle there is a square fighting ring surrounded by fenced cage walls that run floor to ceiling. they appear to have an unnatural glow and are displaced, only visible to the eye when moving.

JACKSON FLINT stomps his cigarette out on the ground and crosses over to the bulletin board next to the stairs to pin up a list. fighters will have time to prepare for their bouts. they can use the time to relax, drink, warm up, talk to friends, or even get into their opponents head, but no blows until the cage doors are closed or you’re out. he nods up to the stage and a band takes up playing for now. can you feel the excitement in the air?

what is fight night?

jackson flint and seraphina parkinson regularly host an underground fight club. fight night is one of their big tournament bouts.

the first rule of fight club is don’t talk about fight club. the second rule is no magic allowed. it is a hand to hand combat only tournament. wands are taken at the door.

is this legal?

no.

why is no one getting arrested?

seraphina’s brother is the head of the magical law enforcement department of the ministry.

who is invited?

anyone who wants to participate in fight night simply has to pay the bouncer a cover charge to enter. you could dare to sneak in at the risk of a few fists, though.

are there things to do if you aren’t fighting?

hell yes. there will be music, drinking, betting, and even more to come.

how do I sign up?

in character, they will be signing up and paying a fee with either jackson or seraphina. out of character, if you would like your character to be a FIGHTING participant in fight night, please send in to the main by OCTOBER 9th:
