[Ugh, she lost. Never mind it was a worthy loss, because it was a loss and she's never lost before. Celes is also perfectly fine, because once she woke up, she healed like a madwoman

[Perhaps you recognize this person who's been at every match so far at the judge's table. Coincidentally, her nose is also in a book.

. . . . . . . . . . . . She turns towards Celes as she passes.]

[lady_general]

[Celes turns her head - clearly, the book is not holding her attention in the least - and nods politely at the passerby, even though her scowl does not change.]

[bogusmagicker]

[Yuki speaks up. Surprising. Her words are quiet, but they carry far.]

You performed well.

[lady_general]

[She seems a little taken aback by this, and the scowl changes into a neutral line.]

I should've performed better. [Right. Manners. She has those.] But, thank you.

[and then he was totally walking by, pretending he didn't notice a thiiiiiiing]

[lady_general]

[She can see you coming out of the corner of her eye, Shiki. Celes's glance could probably freeze lava. Or the sun.]

[artwithknives]

Uuu, why do I feel like I'm going to die?

[lady_general]

[Don't throw the book. Don't do it. It's an action unbecoming of a former general of the Imperial army. Oh, but she wants to. Get him right in the side of the head, how's that for revenge?

But she can wait. She can. If things go as planned, someday she might get all her magic back. And he will be a blue-crowned imp. A slow, slow, imp.] Are you prone to talking to yourself?

[Not throwing the book, she picks up her cup of tea and sips it once.]

[inventor_king]

[Your favorite member of royalty is dropping by.]

Hey, you were in the tournament too, weren't you? I hope you did better than I did.

[lady_general]

I was beaten in the second round. [Oh yes, she is sulking.]

[inventor_king]

Better than me, then. I was beaten in the first round by an army of magical dolls.

[lady_general]

An army of...

What.

[sting_like_a]

[SUP NEW SISBRO. Miakis is gonna walk up and sit down next to you.]

Now you know how I feel~ [Well, not really, but she's just trying to be nice. c:]

[lady_general]

[Celes hates you, Miakis, because it is very hard to scowl properly at you. Her lips twitch upwards.] So it would seem. And things were going so well, too. [Sigh, sulk. She is only 18, after all.]

[sting_like_a]

[Yeah, Miakis has that effect on people. Who can resist this face?]

There are a lot of crazy super-powered people here, and you fought pretty well despite that. And you managed to kick my ass. That alone is something to be proud of!

[lady_general]

[Blind people.]

But I've never lost before. It's... maddening.
