(OOC: Emblem here. I'll keep it short 
)Several posters throughout the city had claimed there was a martial arts tournament to be held very soon. Interesting. Not only did Ryuko enjoy the idea of some proper battle sparring, the prizes were moderate but very much proficient. Having to take care of Juno and himself during their Murakami adventures, Ryuko would not mind having some spare cash for any damages donw – Jolt was still very much learning to keep her electrical powers at bay. In the back of Ryuko's mind he'd also figure the 50.000 could be a nice little extra. He had wanted to buy some new stuff for their shared apartment, and Jolt would also like some new gifts. The Clan could provide, but being able to pay for things yourself was ever so rewarding.
Ryuko shook off the idea of claiming that bounty. His adventures so far, as well as his missions for the Shikarii Clan had shown him this town was full of powerful metahumans. Some could be dealt with, others had an inherent advantage he had trouble dealing with. He could only hope this tournament would be a true martial tournament. In that regard, he would have a fair and decent chance.
Ryuko walked around a corner to see another poster. He decided to go out on a limb and simply note down all he needed to know. There had to be some sort of registration service. And with that, some sort of insurance to cover any expenses made and injuries to recover from. He would also have to check for any rules.
As he closed him, he took notice of some bystanders. As Ryuko's eyes observed their outer physique, his dormant aquatic abilities triggered and scanned their internal levels. His eyes saw a rather small blue-haired male and a rather large other male...their internal levels however, threw him off. The big one had a whole lot more water inside him then his outer shell showed. That one, was one to watch. Other bystanders included a male who was just a bit longer then he was and a female who was only a little smaller then him. Their bodily fluids did not show any large fluctuations or irregularities.
He had been fighting off those other metahumans in the Murakami high school. This was something Ryuko did not like very much. He was grateful for the support as he was in quite a mess back there, and had gotten himself into that to protect the school, his turf...but the fact that he had fought without his armor created the possibility of recognition. Who knew? A lot of entities could be watching..
He decided it was best not to show his apparent interest in the tournament. However, that would be thwarted if they'd see him note down stuff...as well as the possibility someone would recognize him. Sure, he had black cloth over his mouth and ears but the hairdo, scars and eyes were quite the same. He knew they were also quite unique. Ice blue eyes were not a very common sight. Before he devised a plan however, his walks had already brought him too close to slip by unnoticed. Ryuko sighed and decided to roll with it.
As he moved past all the others, he walked up to the poster. It was one sublime example of photographic editing, computerized imaging, inspiring a sense of action and willingness to participate, even amongst those who were not schooled in any way or form or martial art.
Ryuko had not acted as if he recognized Haruhi or anyone else, but focused on the poster. He took out a sheet of paper from his satchel and noted down all the useful information, speaking softly as he copied it.
''The Arena, near the Cineplex. Tomorrow, starts right after my lessons...registration through e-mail or website form...I'll have to have Jolt help me with that...oh dear she might wanna join as well...Shocking. Registration closes tonight at 8 pm. Plenty of time..''As he finished copying all the information, he turned around and stood facing all the other bystanders. They had, logically, take note of his appearance. Unfortunately, it was like they wanted him to say anything. Ryuko, at first, did not comply, but thought he might as well check his possible competition...
''Good day gentlemen and lady, don't tell me I am looking at possible competition?''Ryuko still tried to find out what was wrong with the big guy in accordance with his liquid levels as well as seeing what he would face in the tournament. If only he had more time to finish that research on all possible titans and metahumand in Jump City...yet the Clan had not yet endorsed a full scan of the city.
