Pulling out her istyg absently without much to do, she clicks the  button and it immediately comes alive with the sounds a very eccentric  treat, Bramble can't help but watch as the announcer welcomes everyone,  mentioning that it's the very first day of the Dusk Colosseum  Tournaments! As the little thing rants on and on about action and  bloodshed they can't seem to help but notice all the interesting other's  that wander past just out of focus, oh, the night king! and the blue  one from before... what was their name again?... hmm... as Bramble was  about to trail off she heard them spout about signups, making her  attention fall back onto the screen. hearing when and were they were  held she sets off, making her way actually rather quickly with a silly  grin across her face. "i wonder who all will be there" she thinks to  herself and before long she's right at the gate, signing in and getting a  band wrapped around her paw for identification. "which team?" a person  they've never spoken to asks. Looking at the form it had two options,  lunar day or solar night, and of course she picks Lunar Day.

The day goes on and Bramble is ready to leave.

The  excitement of the whole day finally wearing off, bramble looks around  her surroundings in confusion, she had gone the right way? "oww!" a  faceless Stygian shouts as she bumps into them. "i'm sorry! I wasn't  paying attention!" Bramble exclaims as the blur leaves seemingly angry  and in a hurry. A bit upset with the situation bramble hangs her head,  noticing something was dropped. she debates for a minute to read it but  decides it might give a clue on how to give it back, however what she  reads is just... weird? Ignoring what it says after all she places it in  her pouch, perhaps hoping to run into the rude Stygian again.

Finally Going home.
Bramble  returns to her little cottage that smells of sweet baked goods and  flowers. Sighing gentle as she opens and walks through the entrance.  While being sure to close and lock the door she doesn't do much else  other than drag herself through the hall and plop into bed head first.  "today was exhausting" she mumbles to herself as she curls up more  towards her pillow and almost instantly passes out. Pretty soon she  "awakes" to a red tinted room, full of glass panels and metals. This red  seems to even be appearing through whatever was in that glass, she  tried to go closer as her eyes try to adjust but she can't seem to.  There was also some type of humming, something slow and guttural,  unfamiliar. Everything is hazy and unfocused and as she tries to rub her  eyes with her paws they just... don't seem to be there, or any part of  her for that matter. "what is this place" she thinks to herself, finally  starting to get a grip. Something is coming, even louder noises begin  as whatever is outside the windows begins to thrash, seeming almost tied  to their spot? Are they windows? She has no idea, but out of the corner  of her eye she spots a dark figure coming closer. The closer they come  the more the room begins to tilt, they seem panicked, almost running  rather than walking and as they run to bramble her consciousness fades  again. She wakes up, in her bed, completely alone and in the dark of  night. feeling her own body, looking at her paws, checking to make sure  she's still here and still real.
