Yafran 2016 [IESP RP IC]

[Armeia]

Nita quickly got dressed, putting on the jersey she had worn earlier. It made her a little homesick, thinking of the Armeian football league... Yafran was nice but she would certainly miss going to the games every week. "One day I'm gonna take you to a football match in Armeia... Let's just say it's an experience you won't find anywhere else," she said, turning to Mikhail.

"I should assume so," Mikhail said, also turning to face Nita, "the rules are named after your country, after all. And who knows? Maybe one day I'll take you to Elesar for Restoration Day. If military parades are your thing, that is."

"We don't actually play Armeian rules football professionally, though," explained Nita. "There used to be a league but there were too many injuries, and our players did bad internationally so we switched to international rules."

She smiled at the second comment. "I'm from Terrum, of course I like military parades... We have big ones every February for our Independence Day."

Anja

After class Anja went to the hall and sent some texts to her agent back home. She was still pretty upset looking about what she had just found out about the AFC, about how she would have to fight a fighter next that wasn't even in the same weight class, and who would almost certainly defeat her. Maybe that A1 move is better than it originally sounded... she thought, sighing. Where's Ji An? She said she'd talk about this with me...

Salman looked around a little. It was his midday break. Finally! He really didn't know what to do, so he just kept his backpack and looked around the school.

Anja saw Salman and followed him. "Hey," she said. "Remember how we were talking earlier? Well, can you help me figure something out?"

[Elesar]

Mikhail nodded at Nita, saying "Then I'll have to take you some time. After we're done in Yafran, of course. Maybe I'll take you to a hockey game as well. That's pretty big back home too."

Salman raised his eyebrows, before realizing she really needed help. "Uh... yeah, sure."

Salman raised his eyebrows, before realizing she really needed help. "Uh... yeah, sure."

Anja sighed and started explaining. "Well... Let's keep this hypothetical for now. What if your job was going really well and then suddenly your employers decide to screw you over? And there's a good chance you won't be able to take care of your family? Would you stay at that job or go to a way more dangerous one for more money?"

"We don't actually play Armeian rules football professionally, though," explained Nita. "There used to be a league but there were too many injuries, and our players did bad internationally so we switched to international rules."

Mikhail nodded at Nita, saying "Then I'll have to take you some time. After we're done in Yafran, of course. Maybe I'll take you to a hockey game as well. That's pretty big back home too."

"Hockey's big where I'm from too, there's three teams in Terrum and we produce the most national team players," said Nita. "Going to games is pretty exciting too, especially since all the Northern teams have hooligans and you have to watch your back there."

Ji An
Ji An walked out of the class and saw Anja talking to this new guy she saw for the first time in class earlier. Ji An decided to let the conversation finish but alert Anja of her presence. Ji An walked up to Anja and kissed her on the cheek before waiting for Anja to finish her conversation.

Mikhail nodded at Nita, saying "Then I'll have to take you some time. After we're done in Yafran, of course. Maybe I'll take you to a hockey game as well. That's pretty big back home too."

"Then we'll definitely do that. I look forward to it, Nita. Ready to head out?''

Salman wondered, itching his chin. "I... I don't know... but I care for my family more. Rather have my hardships at hand rather than them suffering. I suppose a more dangerous one." He looked as Ji-An came - earlier I heard both of them talking together about meting about something. "Will I go, or uh..."

[Armeia]

Nita

Nita nodded. "We can head to the center city first, I guess."

Anja

Anja put her hand around Ji An's waist but kept looking at Salman. "If you want," she shrugged, wondering if Ji An had heard the whole conversation.

[Elesar]

Nita

Nita nodded. "We can head to the center city first, I guess."

Anja

Anja put her hand around Ji An's waist but kept looking at Salman. "If you want," she shrugged, wondering if Ji An had heard the whole conversation.

"Sounds good. It is getting close to lunchtime, and I haven't eaten a thing since I got off the plane earlier. Want to see if we can find a restaurant?"

[Flardania]

Nita

Nita nodded. "We can head to the center city first, I guess."

Anja

Anja put her hand around Ji An's waist but kept looking at Salman. "If you want," she shrugged, wondering if Ji An had heard the whole conversation.

Ji An
Ji An smiled at Salman. "There is no reason for you to go unless what Anja has to tell me about this danger is private." Ji An stated after only hearing a little bit of there conversation.

Anja turned to Ji An. "He doesn't have to go... Anyway, this is all about the AFC, the year I came into the league there were three other star youth prospects, Luka, Jayna Tera, and Rosinha 'Rose' Ebner... Rose is the best off so far, she's 8-0 and she has the featherweight championship. She's basically unbeatable but it wasn't a problem because we're in different divisions. Now the AFC wants me to fight her next, at her weight, and if I don't do it, they're going to hand her the bantamweight title and say I forfeited, and I won't be able to do anything about it..."

Salman sighed. He didn't know what to say. "I'm... confused."

[Flardania]

Anja turned to Ji An. "He doesn't have to go...

Ji An
Ji An thought for awhile taking awhile to process everything "Did they give you any choice? Your telling me that they called you up and said hey for no reason we are going to make you jump divisions to face this girl in a non title match and if you don't your striped of your title because the AFC feels like it..." Ji An asked

[Acronius]

Mavis handed Axelle her Tylenol. "Sorry, Tarik. Didn't find a mic or any... 'bling' in a f*cking pharmacy." She sighed. "Next order of business: liquor store! Still comin'?" she asked Axelle. "After that we're heading off to the dorm. I don't have a roommate yet; you can do it."

" Thanks, Mavis," Axelle said with a smile. She raised an eyebrow when Mavis mentioned alcohol.

"Uh... I don't drink though... I guess I'll just tag along. And I'll definitely be your roommate!"

Anja glanced at Salman. "I was confused when I heard it to... Basically I fight MMA back home and the league is about to mess up my career."
She turned back to Ji An. "Technically they're saying its a catch weight fight, she'd be at 140. But it would be for the title, she wants to jump down a class because bantamweight is more competitive, but since she can't cut so much weight in six months easily they're going to let her just cut some of it."

[Armeia]

Mavis handed Axelle her Tylenol. "Sorry, Tarik. Didn't find a mic or any... 'bling' in a f*cking pharmacy." She sighed. "Next order of business: liquor store! Still comin'?" she asked Axelle. "After that we're heading off to the dorm. I don't have a roommate yet; you can do it."

"Uh... I don't drink though... I guess I'll just tag along. And I'll definitely be your roommate!"

"You don't drink? What's wrong with you?" asked Tarik, shocked that there was someone who didn't drink alcohol. "Also, Mavis, grab the strongest thing you can find in there for me."

Ji An
Ji An thought for a second, it sometimes felt like she was the legal advisor or voice of reason for Anja these days. "I guess you will have to fight her then, since there is no way out of this, you just need to prepare and win....when is that fight scheduled?" Ji An asked

"Six months from Sunday, in her hometown, Barrier City. But the problem is there's almost no weaknesses in her game, I don't think I can do it, so I might jump leagues to A1..." sighed Anja. "A1 is the gladiator competition in Armeia, and even though we haven't had any deaths since 2003, it's really dangerous. But they pay a lot of money just for showing up there."

Salman didn't know what to do now. "I'll just... uh.. go. Forgive me." He said, walking out to entrance. He found a nice and comfy spot and began playing some games.

Ji An
"Are you not ever allowed to lose?" Ji An asked "Because the way you make it sound is to avoid potentially losing you will join a division where even if there hasn't been a death since 03 which means one is overdue and is guaranteed more money you will do it because they have a lot of money?" Ji An asked incredulously
