Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting

[revenancemods]

Characters: All those who signed up for Struggle
Content: Struggle!
Location: Twilight Town, Sandlot
Time of Day: Morning
Warnings: It's a Struggle, so there's going to be at least some combat
Notes: The rules of Struggle are simple: Each player has 100 colored orbs attached to their gear (usually a vest and helmet). Knock off and gather your opponent's orbs while keeping your own. The person with the most orbs at the end of the time limit wins the round. Special powers (magic and such) are not allowed - the vanilla humans need a chance to win too. Have fun!

It's a bright sunny morning in Twilight Town - or would be if it had mornings to speak of - but that's not what has the town all abuzz. No, that would be the fact that today marks the start of the Struggle tournament. All are, of course, welcome to come, so the question is really a simple one: who out there is ready to Struggle?

"They're lots of fun!" York assured Xion. Wash was going to kill him later and he might even deserve it, but he hadn't expected Ziva to just roll with it like that. "That's the whole point; spending time with someone you really like, doing something you both enjoy. A date can be doing almost anything, since all sorts of people have different interests."

"But how is that different from spending time with someone who's a friend?" It was a roundabout way of asking how romance and friendship differed, but it would do for now. Xion was suddenly aware of the fact that not only could most of the others hear them, but also that this probably wasn't the best subject for public discussion with someone she hadn't spoken to much before.

York had to think about that one. "It just...feels different, I guess. Usually you're attracted to someone you date - not everyone does, but most people do..." He didn't really want to get into sex and all - she was a teenager, so of course she'd know about it, but he wasn't sure he was up for that discussion in public. "You love your friends, but the kind of liking or loving that goes along with dating isn't quite the same." York shrugged apologetically. "Sorry; feelings are hard."

If York knew more about Xion's background, he would have known better than to trust to any even basic education she'd had. Oh, she could read and write and do some math, but anything aside from that had been sorely neglected. His explanation raised more questions than it answered. This wasn't the time or place for them, though, so she mentally filed them away for later. For the moment, she merely tilted her head in thought and nodded. "It's okay; hearts can be confusing."

The Moogles seemed anxious to get on with the next match, so it was time to join the spectators. She turned to head toward the edge of the arena.

York headed after Xion; hopefully he'd have some break time before he faced whoever he was up against next. He wanted to see how everyone else did at their own matches. This was a pretty fun little game.
