[the announcement rings through the campus all morning, on the half-hour: Can all participating Players report to the Tournament Stadium for midday with their chosen Weapons. The event will begin at twelve twenty-five for all other students.

Yes, that's right, the Tournament Stadium. During the early morning of Day 1, the staff were hard at work constructing a stadium in the main courtyard. There's raised seating for all students, and a large open-air ring for the participants. There's more than enough space even for fliers, and a number of raised areas, stairs and chest-high walls to make battles more interesting. At the end of the stadium is a large screen showing the ring from above.]

Comments

"I am," she confirmed, side glancing at him. He should have known that... until she remembered that well, he couldn't remember her name. "I'm not fighting until tomorrow though."

[swordofzero]

Ah, Suzaku nodded, so her name was not any of the ones that was flashing up on the screan at the end of the stadium. "Who are you fighting tomorrow?" This was more so that he could work out what her name was.

[queenscheckmate]

"Shoryu I believe."

[swordofzero]

"Shoryu?" Suzaku blinked, "He's my player," he looked at the list of matches for the tournament.

"Kallen Kozuki," he said when he found her name. He forogt it the moment he looked up from the paper though and sighed.

[queenscheckmate]

"I see..." Kallen said softly, turning to the notebook in her lap. But she didn't get to keep her gaze there for long. When Suzaku said her name, she looked in his direction.

[swordofzero]

Suzaku nodded but when she turned to look at him he looked at her blankly. He had said something hadn't he, he could not remember what it was. He just sat silently staring out into the tournament ring.

She shrugged it off and turned her attention to the field. There were notes to be taken and the like.
