[There's a bit of rumbling laughter from a tall, buff man with a blindfold on who looks like he hasn't bathed in weeks.]

What an amusing world this is, where this is even a question. You perk my interest, boy. What is this proposition?

[Well doesn't this guy look interesting]

If you've been around here long enough you'll notice how peaceful this place is most of the time. Only fighting that normally goes on is for pokemon.

I've got a little project started and I need a bit of assistance. Once it done, it will be the perfect place for people to let loose.

[If by "interesting" you mean "like a blind hobo", then yes, yes he does.]

I have only been here a week and already I've learned that much. Were it not for the pokemon battles I would be quite overwhelmingly bored.

Hmmm... I've no objection to assisting, but unless I'm much mistaken, I'm rather far from where you are. I project my arrival in "Violet City" to be in about three to four more days.

[You can learn a lot from hobos.]

This place get pretty boring really fast. Something normally comes to spice thing up every once in a while. [Anything that threatens his well being is welcome turn of events.]

That won't be a problem what I'm doing will be no where near done by the time you get to Violet. Plus when you do I can get you to Goldenrod through a short cut.

You mean like the event that currently has everyone on this device panicking. [It's not a question, and frankly Illidan's kind of on Killua's side with this.]

So this is a long-term project. I assume you're doing something more interesting than simply assembling some sort of tournament.

Yep, it's not going to last very long, it never does.

[He wasn't made for the peaceful life.]

Hardly, I'm making a place for people to fight and the best part is that I've been given leeway by the city officials about a few special things.

Ahhhh, a combat ring. I've never been to one, myself, but I see no reason that has to remain the case.

What exactly did you need to get "leeway" about? How strict are these officials usually?

Oh it will be a little more than a combat ring.

One very big rule this world seems to abide by is no weapons. Anyone that had a weapon before getting here it's suddenly gone. Making any weapons can be consider a criminal offense. Some of the only things that can normally by past that are wooden swords.

The leeway I was given means that as long as it on the grounds of my build, weapons that crafted in this world can be used there. Weapons can also be made on the grounds of the being with interference.

[A positively gleeful smile emerges on Illidan's face.]

Excellent. I am capable in unarmed combat, but being able to wield my weapons again... or at least a reasonable copy, would be superb.

It would seem it's a good thing I didn't try to recreate them myself, however. I would prefer to avoid being imprisoned... again.

If you help me out, once the place is finish. You'll get full run of the grounds and a free room to stay in.

I have a few other things planed as well for the place. A lot of fun games to play. [It should take much to tell that this kid version of fun is a little warped at best.]

[Boy, what is wrong with you.]

What sort of question is that?!! [Rin, who has found a moment to catch his breath after being out there in the Violet garbage spree, looks incredibly disheveled. But he answers anyway. A part of him was very curious about whatever Killua had to say.]

I know how. What's on your mind?

It's a valid one. [He stays simply before giving the teen a once over.] Where the heck are you by the way?

I'm build a place to fight and I need people to help that's all.

[He'd retort that a question like that was invalid BUT HE HAS HIS FULL ATTENTION NOW. And yes, totally taking the momentum to forget that other silly question.]

A place to fight? Like the Collerriem? [You know, the thing in Rome with the gladiators. The Collerriem.]

A coll-a-what?

[His smile fades a little.]

You know, the Collerrium! It's in Italy or someplace like that. There was lots of fighting in it. . .

Rin, there isn't an Italy where I'm from. My world has completely different countries.

[He does know a little from the Italians he hung around.]

That placing sounds interesting through.

Oh. I forgot. ...Where are you from?

It is! There are gladiators who fight to the death.

[And he can't remember why because history class was kinda boring. All classes are boring. They need less books and more pictures.]

I'm from the Republic of Padokia.

Do they fight for fun or another reason?

Padokia?

[Sounds like IKEA. He shrugs.]

Well, the emperor decides if the winner lives or dies, depending on how entertaining the fight is.

In the Dentora region. Actually if I showed you a map you might get a shock.

[That sounds messed up.] Oh that kind of thing. No, what I'm doing isn't anything like that.

Seriously?

[It's how the Ancient Romans rolled bro.]

Figured as much. Nowadays people aren't going to sign up to die somewhere.

[unless it was a SHONEN FUELED FIGHT TO THE DEATH.]

The place is just about fighting and having fun. It's just something to spice things up around here without involvement of a few annoyances. [aka rockets.]

You'd be surprised what people will do for a fight.

Then count me in. I could go for something new around here.

[laughs] I might, might not. Depends entirely on what they're fighting for.

Great, you can take all the time you need in Violet. The building isn't anywhere finished yet.

That's true, some reasons are better then others.

[fdhsakfjsd!!! He thought he wouldn't notice fdsafsdf!!] How the hell did you know I was in Violet?!

-- yeah, reasons. [important ones, bro]

Same way I know that Falkner guy beat you, you told everyone over the network.

Since you hadn't announced that you'd won or even had a rematch, I assumed you're stuck. You're still really slow, you know.

[aw fuck]

I am not slow! I just hit a snag in the road, damn it! The next time I see that Falkner -- no, the next time you see me, I'll be wearing that badge!

Whatever you say~

Next time I see you face to face will probably be months from now.
