[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.]

Aw, frag. Yeah, she should learn to be more careful around kids. Well, Mei seemed easier to talk to, despite not knowing some things (like space, but Grenn was rather sure that was one of the girl's taken memories)... But she'd gotten this far, so...

"The problem is that if you attempt to cure the disease attacking the bone, it just jumps to the flesh, and contrarywise... There's been no way of getting rid of the disease in both places. And no, it doesn't hurt now," Grenn shook her head and tried a smile, hoping to ease Romeo.

It didn't hurt now no, since she didn't have the prostethics on. No need to say that though.

Well it was good that it didn't hurt now! He listened as Grenn explained the problem and he sort of understood, he nodded. "Some things just can't be cured, Doctor Casella says that it's just God's way of making sure theres still people to go to heaven. I think it's because if everything could be cured nobody would die and then God would get lonely, Alfredo's illness couldn't be cured either. But your still alive so there must be some way to stop it eating all of you."

Apart from when it ate your head, he shuddered again at the thought.

Grenn couldn't help the quiet laugh, though it wasn't mean or condescending in any way, just gently amused. It wasn't often she met someone so casually and sincerely talking about God (any god) in that way. She may have her belief, but she wasn't particularly practising it, really.

"Maybe that's so." She wasn't going to tell him that anyone who wasn't irrevocably injured by the Rot got prostethics of some sort. A few committed suicide, but she wasn't going to say that either. Then she noticed the two girls down there talking.

"Hmm, seems they might be starting soon..."

Romeo smiled and looked down at the two girls, he nodded and fell quiet as he watched them begin the fight.
