| - Heh.
- {Warmly. You're saying goodbye to someone who means a lot to you. / Neutral} You ain't welcome anymore, little bird.
- { making chit chat with crowd, trying not to sound annoyed it's taking so long for the player to get on stage} Okay, come on already! It's not hard. Down the stairs and up the lift.
- {forced smile and shooting her an icy glare} Our dear Cait here needs a change of scenery.
- { to crowd on microphone at cage match fighting arena you own -- more showman, less sports caster. / Friendly} Come on over here, new blood! Let's get a good look at you!
- {Neutral} Hmm. Shame. I usually got a pretty good sense for matchups. How about we say you'll think about it?
- {to crowd} We have our fighter, ladies and gentlemen!
- {A bit nervous and a little irritated. Slightly projected. / Neutral} Look, whoever's out there, we were rootin' for you the whole time.
- {Evasive. / Neutral} Maybe I just think you deserve some time off. Maybe I like this one's face. I don't know. I usually got a good sense about this sorta thing.
- {Friendly} And here. The purse from the last fight. Consider it a retainer.
- {Initially puzzled, then concerned for the person you're speaking to. You are warning someone that a fight is about to start. / Pleading} Wait-- who let you... lady, I'd find some cover. Quick!
- {Hopeful. / Neutral} You don't need to worry about me. I'll get this place set up right, maybe find a less bloodsoaked clientele. Now get the hell out of here.
- Some are richer, some are poorer. All were entertained. You savages!
- {Question} You caught the end of that bout. What'd ya think of Cait's work?
- {You just watched someone shoot up your bar. You're not thrilled. / Irritated} Is it over? Well, that could've gone worse.
- {Question} So, what do ya say? Do me a favor and take Cait with ya?
- {$$ in your eyes } You want to make this a regular thing?
- { -- to crowd on microphone at cage match fighting arena you own -- more showman, less sports caster. } What do you say? Shall we put her in the cage?
- {as in, did you like fighting?} So, New Blood, what'd you think of that?
- Oh no. Wouldn't be fair to the others were I to tell you my favorite. Though, I wonder how you'd size up the - left - fighter?
- {Neutral} They weren't the friendliest bunch but keeping those idiots entertained at least kept the lights on.
- {ignoring the interruption, but adding a little zing} What do you say? Would you help an old man by keeping an eye on his pet?
- {Irritated by your friend's nonchalance about your bar being wrecked. / Irritated} Are you fucking high or something? Why am I asking, of course you are.
- Wagers are now closed. But fear not, there's always another fight just around the corner.
- {Irritated} Not the entrepreneurial sort, are ya? Keeping those idiots entertained was what kept us in caps.
- {Neutral} Trouble? Nah. But keeping those idiots entertained was what kept the lights on. Not exactly sure what we're gonna do now.
- {Irritated} Grateful? For killing our meal ticket? Excuse me if I don't rush to embrace our savior.
- {getting serious} But if you change your mind and do take her out with you, I need to be perfectly clear.
- { to crowd on microphone at cage match fighting arena you own -- more showman, less sports caster. / Amused} Don't be nervous. We just want to meet you!
- { to crowd on microphone at cage match fighting arena you own -- more showman, less sports caster. / Amused} Come on. I don't bite. Well... not usually.
- You've lasted longer than I thought. You here for another go in the cage?
- {enticingly - about to toss him a purse of money} One time, eh? I bet you'll change your mind.
- Cait. She's one of the best. When her head's in the game. She won't kill you if I ask her nicely.
- Ladies and Gentleman, I regret to inform you, we have a no-show. One of our combatants has chickened out.
- {as in "don't press your luck further, buddy"} Nice try.
- {A bit nervous and a little irritated. Slightly projected. / Irritated} You finished tearin' the place up now?
- {You've just been chastised by a friend for hiding in the corner during a gunfight. You don't care. / Neutral} To heck with that. I'm too pretty to go out like this.
- {Irritated} Yeah and you looked about one slip away from falling onto your own knife.
- Alright.
- {in front of crowd on microphone at cage match fighting arena you own -- more showman, less sports caster. [other guy was decapitated] / Impressed} And that concludes this round. Cait is the undisputed winner!
- Bets are now closed.
- {Initially puzzled, then concerned for the person you're speaking to. You are warning someone that a fight is about to start. / Pleading} Wait, who let you... buddy, I'd find some cover. Quick!
- Care to place a wager?
- Come on up and make a wager!
- {Neutral} Maybe we'll have the place cleaned up by then. Bring in a less bloodthirsty clientele.
- {friendly} Listen friend. If you did this for me, you'd be doing me a favor. But let me make this clear.
- We'll let the beasts size each other up for a moment.
- { exaggerated shock to play to crowd} What's this? The New Blood bested our fair Cait!
- {a deadly serious threat. you have done to that to people before.} Should any harm come to her, I'll gut you from testicles to eyeballs.
- Good job. Here's the prize.
- Good pick. Here's the payout.
- Good. Let's do it now then.
- Hear that? He's too good for us!
- Hear that? She's too good for us!
- Heh. You're gonna fit in nicely.
- Here. We'll call this a one time signing bonus.
- How are you feeling about the left Fighter?
- I like your moxy.
- I must be sick. I'm feeling a tad generous today.
- I present to you...
- I'll put you down for the left Fighter.
- If not, fine.
- If you win, that is.
- {simmering parental anger } You didn't lose to him, you lost to that jet pipe. It's making you sloppy. You need to curb the chems, darling.
- Last call for wagers!
- Looks like we've got a regular Einstein here.
- Never mind her. She'll do as she's told.
- Oh it pays.
- Oh, it most definitely pays.
- { to crowd on microphone at cage match fighting arena you own -- more showman, less sports caster. / Amused} Come on over here.
- {Neutral} There's a trap door under the stage. Head down the stairs to my right and up the lift.
- Scared, huh? Well, your secret's safe with me.
- Smart man! What'll you bet? Max bid is 200 caps.
- Smart woman! What'll you bet? Max bid is 200 caps.
- So, how about it? The crowd will love you for it.
- The lift into the cage is in the basement.
- The prize will go up in size as you go up in rank.
- The usual prize. Upon winning of course.
- There's more where that came from.
- Think you can handle yourself in the cage?
- Through the gate in the cage.
- {Impressed} Yeah, I guess you were pretty busy cleaning house. Impressive work. Makes me think you're good enough to do me a favor.
- Well, if you change your mind let me know.
- What a fight!
- {angry, to crow} Rule number one is temporarily lifted. Get him boys!
- { -- to crowd on microphone at cage match fighting arena you own -- more showman, less sports caster. } What do you say? Shall we put him in the cage?
- You got what it takes? Or are you wussing out?
- You manning up, or wussing out?
- You sure?
- You think you got what it takes?
- You want a round in the cage?
- You wouldn't have lasted long anyway.
- You'll get more the more you do this.
- Your attention please!
