(ooc: September 4th, just before curfew. Open to all earth circle members.)
"Oh gods... Oh, gods..."
Hiccup was nothing but a big ball of nerves by that point. He'd been hit by the realization that the fights would be going on the next day, and he was admittedly afraid that his name would be immediately pulled from the metaphorical hat. Hiccup didn't want to fight, especially knowing that Astrid was in a different circle from him, and he didn't want to have to see his new friends fighting either. The only downside was that one friend wasn't even in the same circle as him. Luna was a part of the fire circle, which meant it was highly possible that someone would have to fight her at some point. He didn't want to think about that.
He scooted against a wall and pulled his knees in closer to his body. He had to try and calm himself down. There was still a chance that he wouldn't get picked, and maybe the others in his new group of friends wouldn't get picked either. Maybe they'd all be safe...
"Why can't we just get it over with already? This wait is going to kill me."

The half-ghost half-human clone was lurking about the earth dorm undetected (that part might have been due to her invisibility...). Well... She was bored, and there was nothing like a little sleuthing to ease boredom, right? Wrong. Dani was just as bored as when she started, so this was apparently a giant waste of time. And currently, every time she let her mind rest it drifted towards tomorrow. The thought that she'd have to potentially hurt anyone (well, anyone innocent) wasn't a pleasant one, so the little experiment decided the best course of action was to just not think about it.
She was just about to turn in when she heard a voice, a somewhat distressed voice. She turned to see a boy a bit older than her slumped against the wall. He definitely didn't look too good at the moment, and suddenly Dani felt bad for sneaking around. Then again, maybe be could use some company. At the very least she could ask what was wrong...
"Hey," She began tentatively, thankfully remembering to reappear to the outside world before speaking up. "You okay?"

Like Hiccup, Arietta was just as worried about tomorrow. She didn't want to fight anyone, what was worse? She knew that she wasn't physically strong or magically strong. It was most likely that the person she would fight was going to beat her to a bloody pulp, and have bragging rights. The pink haired girl had been in her room hugging her doll. A creepy bear like creature with as much might as she could. Finally, she decided to go out and see if any of the other earth circle members were around.
She noticed Hiccup first, and then a fellow female, with black hair and blue eyes. No one else was around, maybe they were all out training, there was still a few hours of free time before curfew. "...Hi." she said.

"Worried about tomorrow," Hiccup admitted without looking up. He didn't know Danni yet, so he didn't really care that he was admitting this much to her. Whether or not she thought he was a wimp for being afraid of what the following day's fights would bring wasn't important to him, anyway. What was important was whether or not he, Luna, and Arietta got through the day all right. If the three of them survived, that was all that mattered in the end. And speaking of Arietta, he happened to notice a flash of pink nearby. This caused Hiccup to look up and nod to acknowledge her presence.
"Tell me I'm not the only one freaking out about the fights. What if our names get on that list? What if we have to fight Luna or someone else we may have gotten to know from a different circle?" he asked.

Arietta smiled and took a seat in a chair. She looked so small, almost like a doll in the big chair. Her pink eyes filled with relief when Hiccup voiced her thoughts about the fights tomorrow. "So, you are worried too?" she asked. "I keep thinking that maybe it's just some cruel joke. This whole fighting idea, it almost seems like someone's cruel idea of torturing us." She frowned and looked her hands. "My stomach keeps turning, what if i am on the list? What am I going to do?"
She was sure that she was voicing other people's thoughts as well. She couldn't be scared forever though right. The first fight had to be the easiest. Maybe her opponent would go easy on her. "B-but if one of us does end up in the arena, the others could cheer them on right? Give them more of a boost."

So she wasn't alone, then? Nobody really wanted to fight...which begged the question in Dani's mind of what would happen if they all just...didn't? Would there be repercussions? Or would this just turn into a regular school? Of course, Dani'd never voice these thoughts of hers. It would be far too risky to do so. But it was still a relief to know that at least these two felt as she did in regards to the whole fighting ordeal. "You two definitely aren't alone there." Dani admitted. "I don't know how I'm going to fight anyone if my name's chosen." It wasn't really a question of skill. She could easily overpower a normal human if she wanted, but that was precisely the issue. She liked to put up a tough front, and if she were fighting Vlad or someone else who deserved it she still would, but how could she hurt an innocent? Someone who'd never done anything to her or someone she cared about? When the time came she supposed she'd just have to reconcile with the idea. It was either that or get maimed.
When the girl with the pink hair (odd...but not the weirdest thing Dani had ever encountered) offered her optimism, Dani offered a small smile. "Like a bout of moral support?" She replied. "You never know, could come in handy." Realistically, Dani knew that when you were lying beaten on the ground with multiple wounds and a fading amount of adrenaline, a few people cheering you on in the stands wasn't going to do much, but that was an image Dani didn't want in her mind, now or ever.

"Yeah exactly. Moral support." Arietta said with a small smile, thankful that she never had to say it twice. "I hope no one has to fight to the death. It isn't fair that this school is expecting us to do this." She hugged her arms close to her. It was the only thing to bring her comfort at the moment. Her pink eyes cast down to the floor. "I wish we knew who was in charge and protest or something..."
