Thamir looked up from his sketch pad just as he was about to put the finishing touch into his second drawing. He then sighed before closing it and putting the pencil inside of the rings. He then set it down on a nightstand that was next to the bed. After he did that, he got off of the bed and went over to the door before opening it and leaving his room. Once he was out of the room, he closed to door behind him and walked over to the group before listening closely. He figured he would let Cyrille finish talking before asking a question about the challenge. The raptor decided to answer the jackal's question just then, "Well, I've been known to actually lie to others at times... Sometimes it turns others against each other at times..." He said with a small frown. "So, what is the challenge that we'll be doing today?" He asked in a curious tone as he looked between the members of the team, expecting one of them to give him an answer to his question.

[lyzer]

"Today will be capture the flag." Lyzer said as he looked toward the raptor. "Given this challenge I think my swiftness will come in hand." He thought to himself that he may have a well rounded team for the challenge and let a smirk slip out in a bit of cockiness

"I'm sure there are others in other groups that are fast as well. Does anyone have a plan as to slow other competitors?" Lyzer said as he scanned the faces before him for any sense of inspiration.

Kyubi joined the rest of the team regarding the brief about their first challenge. As he listened, he heard the leader ask what everyone was worth, that's how it translated to him anyways. In an almost high and mighty tone he responded:
Ha! This will be easy, nothing but flat ground and running into the open. No one is risking their lives and all we have to do is work as a team.
Just as he made that final statement, he looked at the team and slightly frowned, hoping nothing bad will go wrong.
Kyubi then looked towards Cyrille and said:
Now, to answer your question. Hmm, I guess you could consider me a medic, but I can at least run for a minute or two. I don't have butterfingers and I promise I won't fall.
In that last remark Kyubi kind of laughed, meaning for it to be true but sarcastic.

"I will slow the competition. Somebody'll have to sneak around them while I distract, and borrow their flags." Cyrille said with his usual, confident grin. "Although, it will most likely be quite a scuttle in the middle of the field once I get the teams going, so I would advise those who lack the ability to dodge eight axes to avoid the area, otherwise it will become life threatening. Once I get the teams out," He finished his glass and placed it down, "I will be counting upon the rest of you to keep our own flag safe and take the rest. I will be in the center, making sure to keep the roose going actively and try to make any flags I see slip from their owners. We need three flags by the finale; there are roughly 7 teams, based on the room of last night. Another thing, make sure not to fall around lies, it will end rather ungracefully if we fall under our own tactic." He stood up promptly; "Now, shall we go?"

[Magical Machine]

Thamir listened closely before saying, "I forgot to mention that I have a few talents in acrobatic..." Nervousness could be sensed in his voice very easily. He didn't really want to be jumping into the action so soon, even though he knew this would happen,  it made him nervous either way. He didn't really seem to notice that his nervousness was actually making his scales change in color to express his emotion even more than before. This was also known as Camouflag, which was perfect for the stealthy approach.

[lyzer]

"You change colors? That will come in handy as well. But as Cyrille stated we must be going. So I'll take my leave and try to scope out the competition ahead of time."

With that Lyzer proceeded to don his hood and quickly vacate the area. He thought that if he could spot potential threats ahead of time he could give his team a heads up. Recon work could be thought of as one of his specialties because he didn't need to be too near a target to profile them.

"I don't have a too much time to waste running around this dock" He said too himself as he continued to look for any other competitors.

[Tim Siguire]

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, ....Noone said there would be weapons involved!
*almost panicking from Cyrille's comment about dodging axes, Kyubi holds himself though*


Well, if that's the case, It won't hurt to slap someone with a flag, eh?
Kyubi then pondered that statement, wondering if the show would already allow weapons...
Kyubi think 'not a chance' but then he also thinks, 'maybe' Cyrille wasn't being literal or serious about dodging axes.

[Cyril]

Cyrille laughed quietly to himself as they approached the "East Field," a small area with a few hills, which seemed to be placed artificially. Groups then seemed to form, and after a long speech which Cyrille neglected to listen to(only hearing several parts about rules; stating that there really weren't any, although it was preferred that teammates weren't killed so soon in the competition). He sat impatiently, and looked at the flags he was supposed to be stealing; they were barely larger than miniature flags. This wouldn't be a problem, for him at least. "Well, I shall begin the lotus dance in the center." He cracked his knuckles(a gesture more for luck), "Don't get hurt."

[Magical Machine]

As the raptor walked with the rest of his team, he looked around curiously at the field, scanning the terrain. If where to have a flag to bring back to there base, then he would need the route that wasn't too rugged or steepe for him to run on. However, he also didn't want a path that made it easy for is opponents to follow behind him. "Looks like the rocky terai  is the way I'm going..." he mumbled to himself softly before listening to Cyrille mention a lotus danc. The raptor grew a little confused at that, but figured he shouldn't ask seeing how he wasn't going to be the one causin much noise.

[lyzer]

Lyzer hurried to meeting point and caught up with the rest of his team. He had unfortunately gotten in new info on the competitors. "So what exactly did I miss?" He asked turning toward his team.

[Tim Siguire]

*Kyubi responded to Lyzer in a tone that seemed forgetful*
Cyrille is going in the middle of the field to 'dance'.
I don't know what that really means but he is going to be busy.
He also said, Don't get hurt.


Umm, I might stick around the high areas, like the hilltops. The flags are pretty small too.
I was expecting them to be streetlights.
*Kyubi then jogged to the front beside Cyrille and looked over*
Hey cap, I think we have a chance at getting this.

[Cyril]

"I know we have a chance; and if we didn't, I'd just steal one." He walked rather aggressively, and his boots kept his steps sounding loudly. "Now back up, unless you wish to hurt yourself. In fact, go work with somebody; they could use the help." Cyrille began to approach people in a nonchalant manner, saying a few complex things and rising anger. Acting as a little pest, it wasn't long until he initiated a few swings after him; which when utilizing his agility, he was able to dodge a few punches from an easily angered man. Dodging just correctly, the other man ended up punching his team mate. Combining a few hot heads with Cyrille in the center, most of the team was distracted by his cocky dodges; keeping his body rather spread out and moving fluidly, although he did end up getting a few scratches on him.

[Magical Machine]

As Cyrille did his little dance, Thamir began to sneak around the crowd of people that where trying to hit the Jackal. Of course Thamir made sure to keep quite as he knew even the slightest noise would have the ability to attract someone's attention. Attention meant he would be given away, and being given away could result in a halt in his progress, causing him to not be very good member of the team on the first day. As he snuck around, he decided to get a few swift glances at the others to see how they where progressing.

[lyzer]

Noticing how quickly his team decided to move Lyzer took the opportunity and decided to take on the role of the hunter. In this he planned to mark and target any points of interest to his team.

"That Cyrille is crafty and quick as well. Quite the competitor." Lyzer whispered to himself he knew he was getting distracted and began to circle the field to find a different team to pilfer from considering the one I front of him was moreover distracted. He then noticed a strong aura emanating from his south and decided to check it out

[Tim Siguire]

As excited as he was, Kyubi was slightly terrified at how aggressive the other competitors were.
Nonetheless, he proceeded on around the ruckus Captain Cyrille had caused.
Kyubi was so excited that he did not pay attention to where he was walking, Kyubi reached the top of a steep hilll but failed to notice.
When he took a step forward his foot fell havily on the steep terrain vausing him to fall down the hill.
WHAA-.... Oomh, AGH, kyah,... OW, ohhhhhgh.... somebody put me in a hospital please...


Kyubi has fallen down the hill and heavilly sprained his left ankle and both wrists.
