Private Finished [AGoDR]A Pirate, Thief and Engineer Bump Into Each Other

It was a pretty standard day for three different people. Ailbhe had finished all of her tasks for the day, and found herself wandering. Her three Regalia followed behind her, with different tones in their steps. The first walked furthest away from the group, but stuck close. She walked tall and proud, and seemed to look down on everyone. The second kept closest to Ailbhe, and he looked around at people worriedly. If someone bumped into him, he jumped and flinched. The third walked alongside Ailbhe, and seemed to get pretty excited over the smallest things he saw. He would sometimes dart into a building then come back a few moments later, done with his little excitable browse. Ailbhe was wearing her pirate getup, her hat tipped a bit forward in an attempt to block the sun getting in his eyes. It wouldn't be too hard to see that she was agitated.

She'd been trying to get challenges for a while now. Challenges for the tournament, but had found herself with little luck. She'd done one, from right before she got the timid Regalia who stuck next to her like glue. But that was another item on her to-do list with the tournament. She wished to trade two of her Regalia. The first of her three was so similar to herself that she hated it. The second, on the other hand, was pretty alright. Ailbhe liked him, but he was too much. So she'd tried to trade them, to get a couple more maybe with some flashier powers, or at least she could get along with.

The second in the fated three to meet was Boni. He'd finished his full day of 'work' and had his hands in his pockets as he continued his leisurely stroll. He also had a Regalia, but only a single one. The whole pacting part of the tournament wasn't in Boni's interest. He was more interested in the actual tournament itself. However he figured it would be a nice bonus to get a Regalia he could've used. His Regalia walked relatively close alongside Boni, and looked around with some curiosity. Boni found her alright, and liked her ability a lot as well. Problem was he knew he wouldn't use it, plus she reminded him of his daughter. Thinking about Maria kind of stung recently, since he found out she had took off from the island very suddenly. He wanted to try and talk some things out with her... Well, the past is in the past. At least, that's what Boni usually tells himself.

Either way, he wasn't exactly thrilled he hadn't gotten many challenges. Any, actually. He found himself unable to really come up with anything because of his Regalia. Just... too sensitive. She seemed to get upset by Boni's masochistic nature, and Boni doubted she'd be interested in watching Boni do some physical challenges that could mean him fighting someone. Also known as the ones he is most interested in. Now, Boni wouldn't really say he wanted to trade her but he would be interested if the prospect came up.

Next was Morgan. He'd finished school, finished with some blueprints for his current project, and had a nice conversation with Moony. But now, he wandered around. He had a curious glint in his eyes as he looked at those who passed him through the Index. His tool for seeing the species of others. Today, Morgan walked with a single Regalia. They were a little shorter than Morgan, and looked at everyone with mistrust. They didn't walk close to Morgan, and gave him a cold look everytime he looked in Morgan's direction. They barely looked like they were grouped together, to be honest.

Morgan thought he couldn't get along with Tom. That was until this Regalia came along. Tom seemed to get along a bit better with Morgan and Moony in a way to face this common enemy. The problem being that the Regalia seemed to always seek attention, yet was also suspicious of everyone. It made it very difficult for any of them to really... tolerate. Morgan wasn't too interested in the power he carried anyway. The ability to summon any weapon. Morgan was an inventor, not a fighter. So he figured if he got the opportunity, he would trade the Regalia. Just for one more compatible with his own personality, really.

The first of the three to meet was Ailbhe and Boni. They walked in opposite directions, and as they passed each other, the two of them being as stubborn as they are barged into each other. It was more of a shoulder bump but it was enough for both of them to whip around with a retort directed at each other. "You look like you jumped out from one of them dumb pirate movies." Boni smirked at Ailbhe, but didn't hide the look of dislike in his eyes.

Ailbhe squinted at him, and raised an eyebrow with the biggest unimpressed look. "Did you crawl out of a trash can?" She shook her head as her face changed to a look of disgust. Her nose wrinkled as she turned dismissively away from him. Her first regalia looked at Boni with a condescending look, her second Regalia flinched away from him a lot, while Ailbhe's third looked at him curiously. Boni's own Regalia flinched away from Ailbhe and the female Regalia who looked down on them. Boni and Ailbhe quickly realised that they were both in this tournament. This just resulted in a glare between them.

Then, it was Morgan. He had his phone out and was focused on it. His Regalia stopped as he saw that Morgan was about to walk into the quarrelling pair, a sneer on his face. Morgan walked right into Ailbhe and Boni. They both looked at Morgan who looked highly startled and a little horrified at realising he just bumped into people. It didn't help one of them dressed like a pirate, and looked pretty muscular. The other one was taller than Morgan and most certainly had muscles. "Watch where you're going, dumbass." Boni growled down at Morgan. He promptly turned back to Ailbhe. "As for you, you're a participant in this tournament right? Surprised they let you." He flashed a grin, a wild look in his eyes.

Ailbhe narrowed her eyes as she looked at him. "I'm already getting the feeling you're a little bit insane. Wonderful." She had a heavy sarcastic tone as she rolled her eyes.

Morgan looked between the two, realising they were both participants. Having basically no impulse control, and frankly not being friendly with the Regalia he is with currently, he spoke up. "Uh, do either of you want to trade?" He tilted his head a little. He noted the woman was a selkie, and the man an undead.

Both turned their heads to Morgan. Ailbhe's eyes, fired up from her brief argument with Boni, actually flared down. "...Actually yeah." She gestured at her first and second Regalia. Her first Regalia turned her head away a bit dismissively, and her second nervously waved. "Plant scrying, underwater breathing." She said coldly.

Boni raised his eyebrow as he looked at the pair. In particular, he looked at Ailbhe's first Regalia. "Actually, I'd be interested taking her off your hands. If ya wanted to take on her. She's got some good accuracy." He motioned to his Regalia. There was a hint of hurt in her eyes as he did.

Morgan held his chin as he thought then clicked his fingers. "Here's an idea. My Regalia... he can summon any weapon. How about I give you him, and I take him." He motioned to the sensitive Regalia, who looked a little surprised. "Then you trade the girls?" He looked between Ailbhe and Boni, waited to see a reaction. Positive or negative? To his relief, they both looked pretty interested. Eventually they nodded.

With nods, encouragements and gestures from the three, the Regalia went to each of their new possible partners. Some of them looked very cautious, while others looked pretty willing. Eventually, each of them placed their hands on the shoulders of their new pact holder, and the triple trade would be completed. Needless to say, they're all pretty happy with each of them got...
