Spot on...

Sorry, GV, I tried to delete two OOC posts from the IC thread, and accidentally got rid of yours, too. Here it is, quoted.

Pessimal arrived back at his seat at around the same time Mileena arrived back from her walk. On her back, the Milteo carried one of her large travailing roost's, and her steps were slow and steady so as not to agitate the contents. On her shoulder sat one of her charges.

"Millena" pessimal said, running up, "not that I'm not glad to see your alright, but, uh, is it really necessary for that thing to be out."

She gently slid the straps for the roost off of her shoulders, the bird sitting there moving obediently over the strap, and set it down with nary a sound. She looked sown at Pessimal. She was almost a head taller than he was, and spoke in a calm, deliberate voice.

"Tippi isn't feeling very well. I can't have her with the others, she might make them sick." She reached up and gently stroked the pigeon on her shoulder with her right claw. It always struck Pessimal how she could be so gentle with those things. She had enough raw strength to twist his head of with one hand, but handled her birds with the gentleness of a new mother.

Milteo were excellent at gathering and handling raw materials. Most dealt with various rocks and oars, and the knowledge of how to find and handle them almost seemed encoded into their very souls. Mileena, however, dealt with pigeons. She was excellent at catching, caring for, training, and breeding pigeons. Which had been handy when pessimal had knocked on her door, looking for a fast, inexpensive way to transport the news to other continents. Well, Mileena had certainly delivered on her end of that bargain.

Her pigeons were clever, easily twice the size of a normal pigeon, and every last one was pure evil. Perhaps some built in genetic "Payback time" switch had been flipped somewhere along the line, but these things knew they were the biggest and baddest on the planet, and also seemed to know what people commonly thought of their species. They were cutthrout killers, every last one. Nothing dared attack them as they delivered the paper, and the things that did they brought home to Mileena, who had inspired some sort of motherly loyalty in them. Just on the voyage over here one of the sailors had had the bright idea to reach into the roost grab one as a snack. They found him the next morning. Well, most of him.

Tippi was looking at him. He hated when they did that. He was relieved when she spoke again, it kept him from imagining what it was thinking.

"So," she said in her steady cantor, sitting down. "Did you see the giants fight? It was quite an entertaining show."

In fact, he had not seen the giants fight. "In the tournament?

"No, outside. Quite brutal. Lot's of people flying about."

His pad was in his hand. "Go on."

Thank you!

 No problem.

Now, I wonder if I can rescue Jester's post...turns out he posted after a post that had to be deleted, too.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

We can have the Watchman, Veteran, Mina, Kyuu, Suna, Illusia, Raijin, and Fuujin search the area southeast of Spectropolis now, if you want to continue on. Everyone in the group is now disguised as a tengu.

@Phi: I revised my post.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

So, what do you guys think of Aox. Is his ....*ahem*...unique....personality showing through?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Is that a yes?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Yes. Yes it is.

And did you check my post revision?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Wait, never mind, that's for Phi.

[Philote]

Yes, everything should be correct now I believe.

The Dragonborn are sneaking from their lair to the town now, and Yojimbo is following behind.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Kay.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Oh, hey, wait, a new competitor stepped into the arena...

Anybody have any clue who's in line to face him?

[Philote]

It is Kagehana and Tirion's turn.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

What page has the latest list of competitors? And when the heck can a day be finished so we can rest our folks, or something?

Ace and Merna vs. Mook is the next battle after Tirion and Kagehana's due to Jester's people leaving.

I guess we could have a day pass after this next battle.

That has the losers from round one removed, and the matches that haven't come up yet unchanged.

....You do know that if the author of the posts delete it themselves all subsequent posts remain right? Which one was deleted?
